Don't get me wrong, I love America. However, Conservapedia loves it so much that they call a neutral source like Wikipedia biased. {{unsigned|Darwindude}}

I would suggest that Conservapedia opines that Wikipedia is "un-American" in an effort to make itself more attractive or legitimate by comparison. The decision to ignore criticism of American political developments, domestic and foreign policies, organizations, and the very administration charged with protecting the Constitution and the American people, and denounce said criticism as "un-American" is to simply avoid the issue and attempt to turn attention to the questioner instead of the question. It in no way refutes the charges made or exonerates the challenged 'party.' It is perhaps an emotional response, but not a thoughtful one. It is an evasion of the truth, not the pursuit of it.
Conservapedia's founder, Andrew Schlafly, has stated in this very site that he believes that there is a 'liberal bias' to Wikipedia, so he intends to actively and deliberately promote a conservative ideology and bias. And so, it is to his benefit and, by extension, Conservapedia's benefit, to state such things. It is your choice to research these issues yourself and believe it or not.
