Trying to get another perspective

If someone can point me to a conservative website or online paper that doesn't sound shrill, imperialistic, or like the world is about to drown in a sea of liberal debauchery unless we go out and conquer the whole damn world, please let me know.

I'm serious. I don't see myself as a tree hugger or anything, but it's hard to read some of these websites w/out wanting to throttle the writer.

I do like townhall but I guess I'm used to tuning out the ads, because I barely notice them. I guess I just think of it as a gateway. Same as frontpagemag.com .. that's Horowitz's site. He's got a lot of good links, but you have to wade through SEE EVIDENCE OF THE LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY AGAINST FREEDOM! everywhere. Even when I agree with his content, his style is too irritating to deal with.

Yeah, definitely more complicated than 2 sides. That's what's nice about discussions/columns that don't get so explicit about announcing their partisan politics ... much more interesting to pay attention to the actual ideas, rather than the labels.

I really like Thomas Sowell .. his books are worth checking out.
