On January 12, [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] left a message on my talk page about a sentence that I posted above on 02:32, 5 January 2015 (EST).  Basically, I argue that being a Conservative means working within society to build a social structure that promotes individual freedom and liberty while using government in a prudent fashion when necessary.  I feel that certain extreme people are trying to scare prospective followers into leaving society '''now''' to live alone in a lightly populated area outside of the fabric of society.  (This is a separate question from being prepared should society fail due to some crisis or catastrophe.)  A conservative perspective should help us learn how to live together with wisdom, rather than endorse a viewpoint that assumes that society will fall apart completely very soon.  So, I enthusiastically endorse covering '''all''' human knowledge including mountains, eskimo culture, and even guns.  However, under Conservapedia Commandment #5, those article should be written without bias, including bias that advocates that people should leave society '''now''' to anticipate the imminent collapse of American society.  I am sorry if my remarks were not clear. I know we both believe in Conservapedia Commandment #5 and don't see any difference in our policy objective. I am putting my energy into building a better encyclopedia within a constantly improving American society, rather than advocating a withdrawal from society based on the assumption that American society will fail soon.

== Hillary and the FBI ==

James Comey, the director of the FBI for the last two years, is a Republican and quite the straight shooter, according [http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/us/politics/jamess-b-comey-fbi-director-says-focus-on-brutality-brings-less-police-enforcement.html?_r=1 this article]. Assuming he continues helm the bureau, it's not likely the FBI will cut Hillary any slack as far as the email investigation goes. Comey disagrees with Obama on incarceration, so there is some question as to whether he can stay in the administration. All the same, I'd say its time for Hillary to be lawyering up rather than preparing to move into the West Wing. Biden's announcement that he is not running sounded almost like he was running. Perhaps he was planning to announce, but Obama asked him to hold off at the last minute. We may not have heard the last of him.

[http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/01/10/the-silently-protesting-muslim-woman-at-the-trump-rally-wasn-t-alone.html This article] takes a look at a group of professional protesters that go to Trump rallies to try to shut them down. Apparently, Trump said something or other about Muslims that made these people upset. In other words, the protests are an attempt to impose religious censorship. Or at least this article, obviously written by a sympathetic journalist, doesn't argue that they are about anything more noble than that. The protesters have the nerve to compare themselves to Rosa Parks. Uh, excuse me, but wasn't Parks protesting segregation rather than free speech? There are many Muslim countries in the world where criticism of Islam is banned. If your delicate ears cannot withstand such criticism, may I suggest moving to one of them?
