Well, I would say it's because Wikipedia isn't supposed to be biased. However, I won't start an argument. --[[User:Linus M.|Liπus the Turbohacker]]<sup>([[User talk:Linus M.|contact me]])</sup> 22:10, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

== Wow ==
What an extraordinary essay. I realise that everybody is ideologically blinded to a certain extent, but I've seen it on Conservapedia to an eye-opening extent. Frequently 'Liberals' are accused of things that the accusor themselves has done, or has tacitly approved others doing. I could go through the whole list and provide instances of Conservatives doing exactly the same things as Liberals have been accused of doing, but that would be tedious. So I'll just concentrate on a few instances.
* Are Liberals more aggressive than Conservatives (point 1)? Increasingly I've seen sysops using veiled threats along the lines of 'Don't post here again if you know what's good for you'.
* Point 11 states that Liberals cite authorities to support their point of view rather than citing evidence. However, all of the articles regarding matters relating to YEC cite almost exclusively from websites such as creationwiki or answersingenesis. Only this morning I objected to a reference in the Wombat article which didn't at all address the issue it was supposed to be supporting; this has now been changed, and now the citation is for an essay which says that a land bridge ''might'' have existed between Europe and Australia without providing any evidence. Although I suppose in accordance with point 4, these editors who are claiming to be Conservative and making these dodgy links are probably actually just Liberals.
* Point 6 appears to be suggesting that Liberals are frequently deceitful, without noting that Conservatives are often deceitful themselves, for example in the case of point 7 which claims that Liberals are objecting to the banning of obscenity rather than objecting to the rather arbitrary notions of what constitues obscenity here.
* The claim that this was a scientific study is either deceitful (point 6) or an inability to provide citations and proper methodology for the study (possibly violating point 11) or maybe even a failure to rely on logic (point 5)
