| − | ::::"The Puritans rejected slavery" was precisely what Andrew Schlafley told us in his American History Lecture, which, even after the truth was pointed out, still contrives to give students the impression that the Massachussetts Bay Colony, the primary trader of slaves in the colonies during the 17th Century, opposed slavery. It is not merely a "conclusion" that Chase Smith's "Declaration of Conscience" was an attack on McCarthy and McCarthyism. That's exactly what it was, and was recognized as such at the time. Have you even bothered to read it, or the history around it? And claiming, as one person has, that the Democratic Party opposed the 1965 Voting Rights Act is an outright lie, a deliberate attempt to conflate one wing of the party, the Southern Democrats with the party itself. Another lie is the claim in another article (now locked to prevent any corrections) that Lenin coined the term "concentration camp." | + | ::::"The Puritans rejected slavery" was precisely what Andrew Schlafley told us in his first American History Lecture, which, even after the truth was pointed out, still contrives to give students the impression that the Massachussetts Bay Colony, the primary trader of slaves in the colonies during the 17th Century, opposed slavery.

| | ::::Yes, indeed, the worst enemy of truth is the zealot. Conservapedia, with its claims like "Albert Gore Sr. voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act" and "Early Jamestown operated under a socialistic system" and even the editor who has tried to justify removing any attempt to apply the term "right wing" to the Nazis by claiming that the Weimar Republic ended in 1939 proves it. Your conception of truth has very little to do with facts. --[[User:PF Fox|PF Fox]] 11:32, 27 May 2007 (EDT) | | ::::Yes, indeed, the worst enemy of truth is the zealot.
