Trust me, you WILL be told very quickly that it is a right-wing site and/or not acceptable here. Just don't be offended if you're told it's right wing and/or unacceptable, because many of us have had to learn this also.

Rule of thumb: If you've never heard of a particular author or website, there's a good chance they
are right-wing. There are some obscure leftist sites, of course, but there seem to be many more
right wing sites.
