Baen have always published a number of books pushing an ultra-right-wing political message; all John Ringo's recent books read more like political manifestos than novels, to my mind (which is a pity, because he USED to write really, really good "hard" SF). On the other hand, that's balanced by the fact that they also publish Eric Flint's books, which push a socialist ideology. I buy all Baen's webscription packages, because I very much support what they are trying to do, but I certainly don't read those books which I find unpleasant.
