One of the things that disturbed me most during the Clinton era was the unwillingness of some conservatives to recognize the basic decency of the vast majority of their political opponents. And in an effort to avoid a hard fall of my own into that particular trap, I'd like to direct your attention to this Virginia Postrel post about an organization that appears to be largely conservative and wholly good: Jim Hake's Spirit of America.

UPDATE 4/17: Ed Thibodeau appears to have had much the same thought. (And based on the time-stamp on his post, he also appears to have had it first. Dammit.)
