:Just because you claim that both articles have "deceit" in them, with that claim motivated by your hatred of and preference to ignore the truth (both liberal traits), does not make what you say true. Attempting to yet again force a liberal POV into an article, for no other reason than that you want what you believe to be true (i.e. wishful thinking), won't get you anywhere.

::You might do well not to impute motives to me, especially not the motive of hatred of the truth. And then I won't do the same to you. My motives for saying that the two articles were deceitful were as follows:
:#[Breitbart article] That article says, right there on the front page, first sentence: "Three of the least-patriotic states in America are controlled by Democrats in political office, according to a report [referring, in the next sentence, to the Wallethub report] released Monday." It then explains it in the third paragraph, saying that "all of the [bottom 3—California, New York, and New Jersey] states have Democrat-majority legislatures and a Democrat serving as governor." While it's true that the three states listed do have Democrat-controlled statehouses and legislatures, the Wallethub article '''does not say that'''. It doesn't mention statehouse and legislature control at all. I had to look that up elsewhere. And yet the Breitbart article clearly says, in the second paragraph, "[the Wallethub survey] '''found''' that the three least-patriotic states had been controlled by Democrats serving in public office." The survey did not find any such thing. For the Breitbart article to say that the Wallethub article said that is simply a lie. That is, deceit.
:#[Conservapedia article] The Conservapedia article repeats the lie, saying, in the third paragraph, "A 2019 WalletHub survey found that the three most unpatriotic states were completely controlled by liberal Democrats". The lie in Breitbart got carried over to Conservapedia. That's what I was trying to prevent with my edits. It's bad enough that we link to an article that is deceitful; I wanted to just link to that article without further comment. That way, readers might draw their own conclusions about Breitbart, without sullying Conservapedia's reputation along the way. But 1990'sguy reverted that, so our own article repeats the lie. That shouldn't be. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 20:59, 26 July 2019 (EDT)
:And incidentally, deceit is a trait practiced by liberals, Communists and adherents of Islam, all for the sake of advancing their ideologies and what they believe. [[User:Northwest|Northwest]] ([[User talk:Northwest|talk]]) 12:41, 26 July 2019 (EDT)

::I'm not sure whether you are saying that people who practice deceit must be "liberals, Communists and adherents of Islam" and that no one else practices deceit; it's often hard to follow the logical points that you are trying to make. But I don't think the folks here at Conservapedia are "liberals, Communists and adherents of Islam". I certainly am not, and I don't think 1990'sguy is either; I think you are disparaging him unfairly. I think that the deceit on our "patriotism" page is accidental, and not indicative of Communism or Islam. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 20:59, 26 July 2019 (EDT)
