Ok, I'm deleting everything. I used to think that liberals were just misguided people with some sort of psychological empowerement complex and I used to just look the other way and claim that it's all ok. Well, it's not. I hate liberals. I really do. I used to just pray for them and hope for the best, but now it's just too much. They are destroying our country. If they keep up what they are doing at the current rate then it's only a matter of time before we all have to pray facing mecca while unborn babies are mercilessly slaughtered in the womb just to line some marxist wallet and men sodomize each other in the street and our children tur n us into the police because we refuse to believe we came from some horrible ape. thats it im done. Sorry, i had to ge t it off my chest

ChrisWa: Trying to justify liberalism, I see.

[[Image:Phelps.jpg|right|thumb|Fred Phelps giving an interview in 2000]]'''Fred Phelps''' is [[pastor]] of the independent [[Westboro Baptist Church]], an extremist organisation not affiliated with mainstream [[Baptist]] churches, and is a controversial activist against [[homosexual]] behavior. Phelps is noted for rallies displaying signs with highly inflammatory and [[extremist]] statements. He is said to hold a "[[Hyper-Calvinism|hyper-Calvinistic]] viewpoint" generally regarded as far outside of mainstream Christianity by most Christian scholars. Most of the congregants of the Westboro Baptist Church, which is located in [[Topeka]], [[Kansas]], are related to Phelps either by blood or marriage.

Phelps has openly denounced the Catholic Church and Episcopal Church and has made claims these religious organizations tolerate and harbor homosexuals and pedophiles. He has also referred to a variety of political figures as "fag-enablers", ranging from Republican Presidents [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[George W. Bush]] to Democrats such as [[Howard Dean]]. His views are rejected by the majority of [[conservative]] [[Christian]]s; [[evangelical]] leader [[Jerry Falwell]] referred to him as a "first-class nut".

Phelps has led protests at military funerals based on his belief that America is a country that harbors homosexuals and is thus evil. As a result, President [[George W. Bush]] signed the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes act, which places limitations on protests at military funerals. These demonstrations led to the formation of the [[Patriot Guard]], an organization of motorcyclists who attend military funerals in order to shield the families of the deceased from the protests by members of Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church.<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-09-13-funeral-protests_x.htm Funeral protesters say laws can't silence them], By Charlie Riedel, Associated Press, July 2006.

Retrieved from the ''[[Washington Post]]'' October 14, 2007.</ref>

Phelps has been an active contributor to the [[Democratic Party]] and was enthusiastic supporter of [[Al Gore]] for President in 1988.<ref>http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/1999/03/lauerman.html</ref> Phelps's son, Fred Phelps, Jr., also served as a delegate for Gore. <ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15559</ref>

== Phelps' Criticism of Religious Leaders ==

Phelps runs several websites on the internet which preach against homosexuality and immoral living. Phelps espouses a skewed version of his own "literal" interpretation of the Bible and the holy scriptures, and speaks against mainstream religious and Christian leaders who in his view, distort or twist the literal interpretation of the Bible. Phelps also speaks for greater accountability for religious organizations, such as the Catholic Church, and has been vocal in the press and media concerning the abuse of young boys by Catholic Priests and Church Leaders, and practicing homosexuals in the Episcopal Church.

== Phelps and the Democratic Party ==

Phelps ran for governor of [[Kansas]] as a [[Democrat]] in 1990, 1994, and 1998.<ref name="ref4">[http://edition.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/08/05/kansas.results/ 1998 Kansas Primary Results.

Retrieved from ReligionNewsBlog.com, October 11, 2007.</ref>

== Phelps and Saddam Hussein ==

In 1997, upset about [[United States]] sanctions on [[Iraq]], Phelps wrote a letter to [[Saddam Hussein]] that read, in part, ''We understand that Iraq is the only Muslim state that allows the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to be freely and openly preached on the streets without fear of arrest and prosecution. Alas, the United States no longer allows the Gospel to be freely and openly preached on the streets, because militant sodomites now control our government, and they violently object to the Bible message.'' <ref>http://www.adl.org/special_reports/wbc/wbc_on_america.asp</ref> He requested, and received, permission from Hussein to protest in Iraq. <ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID={91058469-F6DE-4615-8B2A-73CDF3E8FCAC}</ref>

== Lawsuits and Litigation ==

*Phelps and his congregation were recently sued by Albert Snyder, the father of a soldier killed in Iraq. Phelps and his congregation protested the Iraq War at his son's funeral. The father sued for defamation over Phelps' statement: "Mr. Snyder raised his son for the devil and hell," during the funeral protest and in statements on his website. A federal jury in Baltimore awarded him nearly $11 million in a verdict against the church; Mr. Snyder won on every count of his complaint, receiving $2.9 million for compensatory damages and $8 million for punitive damages.

*Phelps has also been threatened with prosecution by the Canadian Government for alleged hate speech in Canada for preaching what he has stated are the literal teachings of the Bible against homosexuality.

*Already picketing daily in Topeka, the Phelpses began to shower faxes on the community, targeting business and political leaders they disagreed with. After Topeka councilwoman Beth Mechler publicly doubted Phelps' claims that wild [[gay sex]] was occurring in Gage Park, Phelps responded with an insulting fax. {{fact}}

==Criticism of Phelps==
Phelps has been criticized by a great number of individuals, both conservative and liberal. For example, [[Jerry Falwell]] has referred to Phelps as "a first class nut". <ref>http://cjonline.com/webindepth/phelps/stories/102498_protests.shtml</ref>

Liberal ideology

2008-03-26T03:21:54Z

ChrisWa:

Here is a growing list of aspects of Liberal ideology

# Control of schools to ensure [[liberal]] indoctrination. It takes about one year to undo each month-worth of indoctrination
# A propensity for personal addictions or activities, often self-destructive, that are criticized by [[conservatives]]
# Creation of jobs dependent on [[liberal]] ideology, such as [[gambling]], [[pornography]], [[media]] and [[government]]
# The promotion of [[materialism]], and thereby a rejection of [[platonic]] concepts used by [[conservativism]]
# Demonisation of [[conservatives]] and conservative principles (See: [[Essay:Conservative Benefits|conservative benefits]])
# Promotion of "feelings", a product of [[culture]], over [[faith]], [[logic]], and [[facts]]
# High tolerance of [[deceit]]

Rainbow

2008-03-26T03:00:17Z

ChrisWa: this needed a connection to liberal redefinition

[[Image:Rainbow.jpg|thumb|400px|right|A rainbow, seen from the island of Curaçao. Note: the bright spot is a clearing in the clouds; the sun is ''behind'' the photographer.]]
A '''rainbow''' is a circular color spectrum appearing in the sky due to the result of [[refraction]] and multiple [[reflection]]s of [[sunlight]] in droplets of [[water]]. Though appearing semicircular from the ground, rainbows are actually circular. Rainbows appear when water droplets are lit by direct sunlight, a condition that rarely occurs ''during'' a [[storm]], because the [[cloud]]s block the [[sun]]. Rainbows are frequently seen ''after'' a storm, when the falling rain has moved into the distance and the sun is roughly behind the observer when the observer is facing the patch of rain.

According to [[Genesis]] 9:11-17, after the [[Great Flood|Flood]] [[God]] told [[Noah]] that henceforth the rainbow would remind God and Mankind of God's promise never to flood the [[Earth]] again.<ref>Genesis 9:11-17, "And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh."</ref> [[Physics]] can explain the appearance of rainbows accurately as the result of refraction and multiple reflections of sunlight in droplets of water, but not the feelings of [[awe]] and [[spirituality]] rainbows inspire, as they did in [[William Wordsworth]] when he wrote:

  My heart leaps up when I behold 
    A rainbow in the sky: 
  So was it when my life began; 
  So is it now I am a man; 
  So be it when I shall grow old, 
    Or let me die! 
  The Child is father of the Man; 
    I could wish my days to be 
  Bound each to each by natural piety.<ref>William Wordsworth, [http://www.bartleby.com/145/ww194.html "My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold] (1802)</ref>

Complete circular rainbows can be seen under the right conditions; in particular, when viewing the mists over [[Niagara Falls]] early or late in the day. Circular rainbows can sometimes be seen from an [[airplane]] when it flies over clouds, the rainbow actually encircling the airplane's shadow on the clouds. One way to think about the rainbow is that the mist or rain is like a projection screen, and the rainbow can only be seen where the projection screen is. When the projection screen is large enough, you see the entire circular rainbow.

The rainbow is often depicted inaccurately in pictures. For example, it may be depicted as a three-dimensional object, with perspective<ref>[http://www.porterfieldsfineart.com/josephholodook/images/leprechaun72.jpg Leprechaun] A typical, but utterly unrealistic depiction of a rainbow. This picture also shows the rainbow as if it had separated, sharp-edged bands of color, in the order yellow, orange, red, green, blue.</ref>, real rainbows never have this appearance. Real rainbows show an extremely subtle blending of color. It is hard to pick out separate colors in a rainbow, but of course to the extent that one can, they appear in the "Roy G. Biv" order, [[red]] outermost, then [[orange]], [[yellow]], [[green]], and a range of [[blue|bluish]] shades which, in a real rainbow, are hard to distinguish and name.

It is extremely difficult to reproduce the subtle, faint [[pastel]] colors of a rainbow on a printed page, or even in a color photograph, partly because a rainbow contains colors that are not within the gamut that can be produced by mixing three primaries, and partly because rainbows are faint; printed depictions of them almost invariably have been enhanced to make them look brighter and more intensely colored than they really are.

Liberals have desecrated the beautiful symbolism of rainbows by embracing them as a representation of [[homosexuality]] which is an abomination in the eyes of God.

Hello everyone, my name is Christopher but I prefer to go by Chris.
I am new to this whole wiki online encyclopedia thing, but I thought I would try my hand at editing.

'''About Me'''

I am a conservative evangelical Baptist, who is glad that conservapedia can offer an alternative to the liberal bias and pornography that wikipedia presents as "fact."

I enjoy the study of psychology from a biblically sound perspective.

I am a young-earth creationist.

The Bible is the final authority on any matter in daily life, as it is the revealed word of God.

I will support McCain in the election. Any Republican is better than Hillary Clinton *gags* or Barack Hussein Obama.

Aside from politics and science, I really like to cook, but I need to practice more.

I am here to make minor grammatical and spelling edits to articles, as well as start a few, such as [[Mosin-Nagant]] and a few others I have plannd.

'''Dear Liberals,'''

I just want any liberals that read this to know that I do not hate you, I only hate your sins. In fact, I am pray for you every day to literally wake up and discover The Way. The truth is, I simply do not understand how you could possibly hold such viewpoints that are obviously bad for America. It is my opinion that, thanks to my studies of psychology, liberalism is nothing short of a mental disorder, and I will continue to pray for you all to seek help in the form of Divine Aid.

Thank you,

Chris

'''My thoughts on Homosexuality'''

It is a sin and a mental illness.

'''My thoughts on young-earth creationism'''

I think that young-earth creationism should be taught as science in public schools, but my argument is different from most conservatives. Most conservatives think that it should replace evolution or by taught side by side because evolution is itself a religion or because the evidence is in favor of YEC. I, on the other hand, think that the truth is that evolution is pseudoscience and may in fact have some conspiratorial aspect put in by liberal scientists. YEC's are capable of being scientists and the "scientific community" is just bigoted against them.

'''My thoughts on Homosexuality'''

First and foremost, the Holy Bible clearly states that "man shall not lie with man as he lies with woman" and declares that Homosexual offenders should be put to death. I believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and His commands must be kept. However, I do not think that todays government would be able to keep them all as it would be impractical. I do think that the government should and is capable of passing at least some legislation to protect us from the negative effects of the homosexual agenda and lifestyle, and I think that at the very least that reparative therapy should be mandatory.

'''My thoughts on young-earth creationism'''

I think that young-earth creationism should be taught as science in public schools, but my argument is different from most conservatives. Most conservatives think that it should replace evolution or by taught side by side because evolution is itself a religion or because the evidence is in favor of YEC.

Liberal Christianity

2008-02-26T23:44:44Z

ChrisWa: changed "equal" to "special"

'''Liberal Christianity''' is a term used in the [[United States]] to describe [[Christians]] who hold theologically, socially, or politically [[liberal]] views.

Liberal Christianity may refer to liberal theologic movements, which take many forms in modern Christianity. In some Christian denominations, support for the ordination of women might be regarded as a liberal position. The blessing by the Church of same-sex unions is a position supported by some liberal Christians, as is the question of special rights for homosexuals.

Liberal Christianity may refer to an opinion or advocacy position on certain political issues. Liberal Christians may oppose the death penalty because of their religious views; they may believe that their faith requires them to support efforts to alleviate poverty; opposition to torture may be justified based on liberal Christianity; a liberal Christian may believe that the obligation to be a good steward of God's creation logically leads one to support efforts to environmentalist movements.

Mulch

2008-02-26T23:42:09Z

ChrisWa:

'''Mulch''' is a protective covering such as straw or leaves that is spread on the ground. Its primary function is to reduce evaporation or control weeds<ref>The Merrian-Webster Concise School and Office Dictionary, Merrian-Webster Inc, 1991</ref>. It usually includes some form of plant material.

Mulch is commonly used in [[gardening]].
Mulch also often produces an odd smell which is the result of helpful bacteria decomposing plant matter. This also results in heat.

Gatling Gun

2008-02-26T23:38:58Z

ChrisWa:

The '''Gatling Gun''' was an early [[machine gun]] that utilised a set of typically six revolving barrels; it was patented by the American Dr Richard J. Gatling in 1862. First used by the Union Army during the American Civil War, it was to be a mainstay of warfare for the more industrially advanced nations for several decades, being used in the [[Anglo-Zulu War]] and the [[Spanish-American War]], among others.

It was also, perhaps unusually, celebrated in poetry. Sir [[Henry Newbolt]]'s patriotic appeal ''Vitai Lampada'' has as its middle verse:

''The sand of the desert is sodden red-''

''Red with the wreck of the square that broke''

''The gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,''

''And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.''

''The river of death has brimmed its banks,''

''And England's far, and Honour a name,''

''But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks-''

''"Play up! Play up! And play the game!"''

ChrisWa:

Hello everyone, my name is Christopher but I prefer to go by Chris.
I am new to this whole wiki online encyclopedia thing, but I thought I would try my hand at editing.

'''About Me'''

I am a conservative evangelical Baptist, who is glad that conservapedia can offer an alternative to the liberal bias and pornography that wikipedia presents as "fact."

I enjoy the study of psychology from a biblically sound perspective.

I am a young-earth creationist.

I still support Mike Huckabee for president, but I will have no problem backing McCain when he likely becomes the nominee.

Aside from politics and science, I really like to cook, but I need to practice more.

'''Dear Liberals,'''

I just want any liberals that read this to know that I do not hate you, I only hate your sins. In fact, I am pray for you every day to literally wake up and discover The Way. The truth is, I simply do not understand how you could possibly hold such viewpoints that are obviously bad for America. It is my opinion that, thanks to my studies of psychology, liberalism is nothing short of a mental disorder, and I will continue to pray for you all to seek help in the form of Divine Aid.

Thank you,

Christopher

'''My thoughts on Homosexuality'''

First and foremost, the Holy Bible clearly states that "man shall not lie with man as he lies with woman" and declares that Homosexual offenders should be put to death. I believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and His commands must be kept. However, I do not think that todays government would be able to keep them all as it would be impractical. I do think that the government should and is capable of passing at least some legislation to protect us from the negative effects of the homosexual agenda and lifestyle, and I think that at the very least that reparative therapy should be mandatory.

'''My thoughts on young-earth creationism'''

I think that young-earth creationism should be taught as science in public schools, but my argument is different from most conservatives. Most conservatives think that it should replace evolution or by taught side by side because evolution is itself a religion or because the evidence is in favor of YEC. I, on the other hand, think that the truth is that evolution is pseudoscience and may in fact have some conspiratorial aspect put in by liberal scientists. YEC's are capable of being scientists and the "scientific community" is just bigoted against them.

Debate:Is most government criticism really patriotic?

2008-02-26T05:25:54Z

ChrisWa:

{{debate}}

It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.
-''U. S. Supreme Court''

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
-''Theodore Roosevelt''

"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."
-''Edward Abbey''

==YES==

The point of citizens criticizing their country is so that mistakes can be avoided and to strengthen the country. This is not unpatriotic. However, if one attacks the country and offers no solutions, this can be viewed as unpatriotic.

==NO==

"Acts that once would have horrified most Americans now pass below the public radar, as though they were part of the patter of normal political discourse." [http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=28306] And under the guise of "just having a healthy debate" people are giving aid and comfort to the enemy in a way that would have been called [[treason]] 60 years ago. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 09:43, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

==Probably Not, But Whatchagonnado?==
People will always criticise whatever government is in power. It's the nature of people. It's also an inalienable right. [[User:Underscoreb|Underscoreb]] 17:25, 12 November 2007 (EST)

This debate has been grossly overlooked. To create a biblical parallel, I will provide an analogy: The government is our protector, once from communism, today from terrorists and islamists. God is likewise our protector from Satan. To criticize the government is like criticizing God- It simply is not acceptable. Underscoreb, I do not believe it is an inalienable right to criticize the government and I do think that action could be taken to prevent the occurrence. [[User:ChrisWa|ChrisWa]]

Disneyland

2008-02-26T05:00:03Z

ChrisWa:

'''Disneyland''' is a recreational theme park located in [[Anaheim]], [[California]] (USA). The park, which opened in 1955, was created by [[Walt Disney]], and took one year to build, at a total cost of 17.5 million dollars. <ref> http://www.disneydreamer.com/history/disneyland.htm </ref>

When the park first opened, there were 18 rides or "attractions" contained in the themed areas within the park: Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street, U.S.A. Newer rides and themed areas have been added over the years, and there are currently more than 60 attractions. <ref> http://www.justdisney.com/disneyland/history.html </ref>

Many rides incorporate characters from Disney cartoons and movies, and popular Disney characters can be seen in the park, including [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Donald Duck]]. <ref> http://www.disneymouselinks.com/disneyland-Characters.asp </ref> Disneyland calls itself "the happiest place on earth" <ref> http://dlandfriends.com/ </ref> There is also a larger group of Disney theme parks in [[Florida]] called [[Disney World]] which includes the Magic Kingdom <ref> http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/index </ref>

== Liberalism in North America today ==
[[Democrats]] and many media outlets in the [[U.S.]] often have a [[liberal bias]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mrc.org/biasbasics/biasbasics1.asp|title=Media Bias basics|publisher=Media Research Center}}</ref>

===Liberal Rankings of Congress Members===

The National Journal compiles the votes of each congress member each year and uses the information to create rankings<ref>http://nationaljournal.com/voteratings/index.htm</ref> of how liberal each member of the United States [[Congress]] is. In addition to showing the voting records of each member and given an overall all ranking of liberalness, the National Journal also ranks congress members by liberalness in the areas of social, economic, and foreign policy.

==Liberalism in Europe today==

In Europe, on the other hand, parties that call themselves ''liberal'' are moderate in outlook, ranging from centre-left to centre-right, promote typically economic and business freedom. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe<ref>http://www.alde.eu</ref> is an party of the European Parliament that represents most ''liberal'' parties from European countries. Similar policies are promoted by many ''liberal'' parties throughout the world,<ref>http://www.liberal-international.org/</ref> such as the Liberal Party of Australia.<ref>[http://www.liberal.org.au/]</ref>

Trade unions and socialist parties often criticize politicians that promote lower taxes on business, or more flexible hiring and firing laws, by calling them "liberals" or [[neoliberal|neoliberals]]. Thus, just like in the US, "liberal" is often used as a term of abuse. But when someone is called "liberal" in Europe, it is an entirely different to the meaning in the US.
In fact, the US meaning of liberal is more similar to the politics of European [[socialist]] or [[social democracy|social democratic]] parties.<ref>[http://www.pes.org]</ref>

==Historical Liberalism ==
In history, the word "liberal" has meant different things at different times, and was associated with individual liberty in prior centuries. In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the "Third Way". In the area of national security and foreign policy liberals in the [[U.S.]] failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq. Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.<ref>"Political liberals tend, for whatever reason, to be ardent supporters of both gay rights and pro-choice programs." Greenberg and Bailey [http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/Bailey/Greenberg-Bailey/Homosexual%20Eugenics.pdf] </ref>

==Original meaning: Classical Liberalism==
Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with [[conservative]] values such as moral values and tradition.

See [[Classical Liberal|Classical Liberalism]]. Compare [[Libertarianism]].

==Alternative meanings of 'liberal'==

One definition of liberal is anything that is not conservative. For example, the American Heritage Dictionary includes this definition of "liberal":<ref>Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal</ref>
