Note
Eventually, US conservatism will be moved to Americonservatism, but I don't have time to update all the links right now -- so I'm saving that move for later.
Eventually, there will be a database of organizations which can be queried by various attributes: political ideology, type of org (think tank, etc.)... need to get some clarity on what the different types are and how to distinguish between them.
