There are some conservatives who can think here on volconvo, too. Not all of our right-wingers are "Billy Bobs". Volconvo has its dummies of the left, too.

Here is a chart labeling the tanks' political leanings: http://www.fair.org/extra/9805/think-tanks.html

Interesting chart, although I thought Brookings was more Liberal than Centrist. Perhaps that's hype or propaganda. And what separates "Progressive" from "Center-Left?" Who decides how these categories are defined? Who tallies the "results" and what criteria are used? Seems subjective beyond belief, just like the term "think tank." From the predictable results I've seen them release, most of the them seem to be anti-think tanks and propaganda propagators rather than people actually thinking about a subject.
