Okay, if you've glanced through and clicked on a few links to see what this is, you'll find that it is the "conservative" version of Wikipedia. For those that do not know what Wikipedia.org is, it is an online encylopedia in which people of any background can edit the information on the website. Now, for conservatives to deem Wikipedia as "liberal" is just hilarious because it just shows that the majority of the users are of that certain attribute.
The people at Conservapedia.com cry over the fact that "Wikipedia uses 'C.E.' (Common Era) rather than 'A.D.'" (Anno Domini/Year of our Lord). Ironically, their search engine is based on Wikipedia.org (who is gracious enough to allow everyone to create a similar wiki-site based on their template and information).
It would seem to me that there are more important aspects that can be identified in society that should be tackled before we start worrying about the diction of a free online encyclopedia. Before I continue, I just want to mention that I am more of a libertarian. As such, I don't believe in imposing my beliefs and views on anyone else unless they seek the utter omniscient wisdom I behold (kidding, I'm dumb). What this also means is I share both, liberal and conservative, views on politics and society. I want to focus on the conservative part because the definition of "conservative" itself implies "stubbornness, tradition, and tunnel vision".
People are forgetting what it means to be conservative. The meaning is nearly lost to Christian rights who have taken it over and skewed the definition. People need to step back and look at history for some good conservative role-models (because the existing ones, namely, Bill Reilly, suck). Teddy Roosevelt was a great conservative and represented his people well during that era. He was the easiest example I could come up with because he encompassed all the traits that make a true conservative. For more information on Teddy, visit http://www.wikipedia.org and search for him.

- Allegedly, "America's oldest and largest grassroots conservative lobbying organization." The principles this organization stands for are pretty much what I consider, 'good conservative values'. Some of the points are a little ambiguous, but they have a blog setup with more specifics on what they actually do.

What can one really say to this other than it outragous. I could comment on this for hours, first off it seems as though you are one of those that falls under the category of suggesting there is in actuality the "religous right", to which it is a false conspriacy. In fact what are your thoughts on there being an "atheist left"? It sickens me that anyone could say and i quote "I feel that conservatives are mainly composed of self-righteous christians who fail to see that not everyone is a christian." Shame on you. The basis of this blog is to say what the media has presented not to bash and present your hate for a party you do not even align yourself with or obviously know much about. Bill O'Reily is a brillant man by the way, that is a conservative, but uses LOGIC in his news segments to presuade, something you did not use when writing this blog. If you did research you would know that they way liberals described Roosevelt back in the day is the same way that now Reagan and Bush are getting a hard time for, its the same story over time, so no being a conservative has not changed. And boy is "HATE" a strong word, couldnt one call that bad for america, maybe you need to go back to elementry school and learn manners, at least the people you listed as hate seeing are healthy contributions to society 'moms against drunk driving' and Bill, as they stand for something.
I think you need a hug. Want a hug?
