Thread Name: BS: Need some conservative viewpoints
Subject: BS: Need some conservative viewpoints
I am teaching an honors class in American Government to high school seniors. I have been posting articles for them to read about the current presidential hopefuls but my sources tend to reflect my own liberal bias.

Their last assignment was to find some articles that showed the conservative view of some of the articles I had posted. Over a weekend they confessed they'd had trouble finding such articles.

So I need to hear from conservatives. Here is where you can impress young minds with the words of your political representatives and the clarity of thought that brings you to their side of the arguments rolling through American politics today. Please provide web addresses to the articles.

Note: I will not be replying to any posts. I am not looking for personal views nor am I interested in starting an argument. I really am looking for something I can give my students that will illustrate the positions of the other side and bring balance to my discussions.

I would appreciate it if neither side, liberals or conservatives, would use this thread as an opportunity to air your grievances. There are plenty of other threads available for that. If you, a fellow liberal, read something that someone has posted and you disagree with it please do not comment on it here.
