I teach undergrad -- very undergrad, 100 and 200 level courses. For your own reference, Wikipedia and About.com are not acceptable sources in higher ed... Just an FYI because you seem very interested in "research." Higher ed is trying to improve literacy not dumb it down even further. Wikipedia and About.com are sources that earn the student an "F" in every institution that I am familiar with... Seriously, no credit given when Wikipedia and About.com are used...
Like I have said serveral times before, the neocons are former disgrunted liberals. They are absolutely NOT "conservative" by any stretch of the imagination... And they now have a well established (and very poor) track record. You should "research" that??...
