Essay:Infinity proof of God

2021-08-17T20:12:36Z

Psircleback: ???

A proof of the existence of [[God]] based on [[infinity]] is as follows:

# Concepts fundamental [[logic]] (sic) also exist in the measurement of time.
# [[Infinity]] is fundamental to logic.
# Therefore infinity exists in time.
# Infinite time is [[eternity]], which therefore exists.
# But time requires life, and therefore infinite life exists.
# Infinite life requires [[God]], and therefore God exists.

Ecclesiastes

Psircleback: /* Authorship */ Expand

'''Ecclesiastes''' is the twenty-first book of the [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Bible]]. It is classified, with [[Job]], [[Psalms]], [[Proverbs]], and the [[Song of Solomon]], as part of the "wisdom literature." It comes after the Book of Proverbs and before the [[Book of Isaiah]]. It is particularly admired as a model of clear and eloquent prose. In Catholic Bibles it is usually titled "Wisdom" after its main theme.

==Meaning of Name==

The word "Ecclesiastes" is derived from a Greek word meaning "gathering" or "congregation," from which come the words "ecclesiastical" (relating to the Church) and the Spanish word ''iglesia'' (church). It is an attempted translation of קֹהֶלֶת linking it to קִהֵל, though this is not a universally accepted tradition "דִּבְרֵי קֹהֶלֶת בֶּן-דָּוִד, מֶלֶךִּ ירוּשָׁלִָם" - the words/things/sayings of Qohelet (or Kohelet, Qoheleth, or Koheleth) the son of David king of Jerusalem; the book is by tradition ascribed to King Solomon.

==Authorship==

The book of Ecclesiastes is popularly held to have been written by Solomon as supported by Ecc 1:1, 1:12, 1:16, 2:4-9, 7:26-29, 12:9. This is especially true when crossreferencing I Kings 2:9, 3:12, 4:29-34, 5:12, 10:1-8. Others note that Ecc 4:1-2, 5:8-9, 8:2-4, 10:20 where the tone is less that of a monarch could point to another, later author<ref>The NIV Study Bible (1985), Zondervan Press, Pg. 991</ref>, so treating 1:12's "I [..] was king over Israel" not as a literal claim of authorship but as a literary device to place the poetical author in the standpoint of the wise king. In the traditional view that Solomon wrote it, the original work would have been composed in the 10th century B.C., although later editing may have been possible.

== Overview ==

With his life largely behind him, Solomon takes stock of the world as he has experienced it between birth and his inevitable death - the later a horizon beyond which man can not see<ref>The NIV Study Bible (1985), Zondervan Press, Pg. 991</ref>. The world is seen as being full of enigmas, the greatest of which is man himself. From his perspective of life experiences, he has found that his great wisdom still has limits and he can not know everything on his own. It is in many ways a brooding book, and only in the end does Solomon turn to God for answers with the admonition to trust in Him. Due to Solomon's life of sin, he appears to be a man from the outside looking in and trying to see what he missed in life. Whether or not he truly embraces God with his whole heart or merely responds to what he missed and knows the answer intellectually is unclear.

== Famous sections ==
Many phrases and passages in it are famous: "to eat, and to drink, and to be merry," "there is no new thing under the sun," "the race is not to the swift." The titles of [[Ernest Hemingway]]'s ''The Sun Also Rises'', [[Edith Wharton]]'s ''The House of Mirth'', and [[George Stewart]]'s ''Earth Abides'' are all phrases from Ecclesiastes. Folksinger [[Pete Seeger]] made a passage from it into the song "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)" which, when recorded by The Byrds, was a #1 hit in the United States in 1965.

The speaker begins "Vanity of vanities(הבל הבלים), saith Qohelet, vanity of vanities; all is vanity." (Ecc 1:2) Here, ''vanity'' means "empty" or "useless" or "in vain." The speaker says that everything that can be accomplished by human effort is empty, fleeting, and repetitious: "Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." (Ecc 1:10) "I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit." יֵשׁ דָּבָר שֶׁיֹּאמַר רְאֵה-זֶה, חָדָשׁ הוּא: כְּבָר הָיָה לְעֹלָמִים, אֲשֶׁר הָיָה מִלְּפָנֵנוּ(Ecc 1:14)

Consequently, he advises living in the moment: "Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry." (Ecc 8:15) He praises life, saying כִּי-לְכֶלֶב חַי הוּא טוֹב מִן-הָאַרְיֵה הַמֵּת, literally "a live dog is good from ''[or better than]'' a dead lion." (Ecc 9:4)

[[George Orwell]], in his essay ''Politics and the English Language'', contrasted the beautiful language of the Bible with the way he says the same thing might be expressed today in "modern English":

:Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.

Six verses before the end the tone shifts abruptly. Beginning with the words "and moreover," a new perspective takes over that ties in the true answer. Solomon does seem to suggest that there is a danger in being overly intellectual: "by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." (Ecc 12:12) Finally he reaches the conclusion: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

''Ecclesiastes'' should not be confused with the completely different [[apocrypha]]l book of ''Ecclesiasticus'', which is found in some editions of the Bible. (While Roman Catholics consider the Apocrypha canonical, Protestants consider it sometimes valuable but not authoritative, inspired [[Holy Scripture|Scripture]].)

Not surprisingly, liberals viewed the film negatively and even made baseless accusations about the film's accuracy to distract from their dislike, but the film was a box office success and popular with the viewing public,<ref>https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/13_hours_the_secret_soldiers_of_benghazi</ref> which saw an insightful analysis at the events of the attack and the heroes who acted to defend the compound of their own accord.

The film stands up for [[abstinence]] and self-respect, and contains a strong speech for both of them, as in this quote: "Because there is no one that I'm in love with. It's called making love, isn't it? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think that means you do it with someone you love. And preferably when you're married, when you're ready to take that love and turn it into a baby." The concept of fatherhood is painted positively as well because he ultimately learns he was reverted to age 17 so he could see things from his children's perspectives and help them resolve their problems.

|''The Avengers''
|2012
|PG
|Widely considered to be the crowning achievement of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this game-changing superhero film brings together several superheroes, all of whom previously starred in related films adapted from Marvel Comics, as they join the Norse god Thor (who is less of a god and more of an alien in this universe, thus averting support for paganism) in stopping his evil brother Loki from conquering the world with an extraterrestrial mercenary army. Despite being the first Marvel feature released by the liberal conglomerate [[Walt Disney Company]] and being directed by liberal Joss Whedon, the film condemns totalitarian ideals, namely Loki's actions. A pivotal scene has Loki forcing innocent Germans to kneel before him, but an old man refuses to submit to "men like him", comparing Loki's actions to Hitler and Nazi Germany's actions. Arriving to confront Loki in the next instant, Steve Rogers/Captain America references Hitler and Johan Schmidt/Red Skull's attempt at taking the world via a similar ideology. Furthermore, the film condemns communism because the heroic assassin character Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, who works with the superheroes, implies that she regrets her time as a Soviet agent due to having to conduct various atrocities. Law-enforcement is depicted positively, too, as they join the Avengers in their climactic battle to defend New York City when Loki's army invades. Finally, while the film doesn't seem to favor any religion or non-religion in particular, it paints Christians positively when Captain America, before pursuing a fighting Thor and Loki, tells Black Widow, "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that!" in an obvious reference to the Biblical God. Given that a lot of planning went into ''The Avengers'' even before Disney's acquisition of Marvel went into full effect, it should come as no surprise that these conservative subtexts shine through.

Morals include improving oneself through training as well as the [[American Dream]]: although the Bears are composed of the worst players in little league, main character Coach Buttermaker trains them to become one of the best baseball teams in the season.

When main villain Ra's al Ghul reveals his intentions to destroy Gotham City, Batman tries to stop him since Gotham still ultimately has good elements in the community. Capitalism is depicted positively, too: in the backstory, Thomas Wayne, Bruce's late father, helped alleviate Gotham City from poverty via his wealth by building a public transportation system. Thomas' death inspired Gotham's wealthy individuals to follow his example, and Wayne Enterprises' Lucius Fox, who runs the company in Bruce's absence, proceeded to use the company's resources to synthesize a cure for fear toxin.

In the name of morality, this king, or "The Black Panther," seeks to destroy the villain and his plans to overthrow the other races and governments of the world. The Black Panther recognizes both the importance of helping those in need, as well as not going beyond one's governmental authority. Though there are plenty of pagan religious references, the film appeals in some ways to a general sense of Christian morality and governmental justice, and it never diverts into political correctness about black supremacism. Liberals have attempted to adopt ''Black Panther'' as a liberal film because of its predominantly black racial cast while ignoring the conservative subtexts that clearly shine through.

|Though based on a recurring skit from ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', which is infamous for its history of liberal bias, this comedy designed to pay tribute to jazz and blues music contains a surprising conservative subtext. Blues singer siblings Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues embark "on a mission from God" by reuniting their bandmates, who have scattered around Chicago, so they can raise money to save the Catholic orphanage wherein they grew up. Despite being R-rated for vulgar language and often destructive slapstick comedy, it's Vatican approved.

|As in ''[[1984]]'', over-arching government is unambiguously shown here to be both an evil and a danger to all humanity, exactly as [[Weber]] foresaw. Made half a decade before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this first film in ex-Python [[Terry Gilliam]]'s "dystopia triptych" - later: Twelve Monkeys (1995), The Zero Theorum (2013) - splendidly dresses its timely, [[Orwell]]ian premise in a [[Kafka]]-esque bureaucratic nightmare of spirit-crushingly dismal yet relentlessly authoritarian mediocrity; not since [[King Lear]] have the 'grey men' of history been so acutely exposed. The later films are difficult to assess by today's standards of conservatism, although Twelve Monkeys is admittedly an outstanding cinematic achievement even if [[Blade Runner]] screen-writer David People's co-written sceenplay is politically harder to place; Zero Theorum's hero, Qohen Leth, is named after Qoheleth/Koheleth, anonymous author of the book of [[Ecclesiastes]], but the only quality Leth seems to share with his wise, jaded, cynically pragmatic namesake is other-worldliness.

|''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]''
|2011
|PG-13
|Based upon the adventures of the patriotic superhero from Marvel Comics (and perhaps the company's most conservative superhero ever created), the frail, sickly U.S. Army recruit Steve Rogers is enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, then uses his newfound supersoldier abilities to combat Nazi terror in Europe while wearing a star-spangled uniform to avoid identification and carrying a throwable shield. Ultimately, he hunts down Nazi supersoldier Johan Schmidt/Red Skull, who was subject to an early, flawed version of Rogers' serum and has stolen the Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential. Though Rogers succeeds, he is soon left with no choice but to crash Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, leaving him frozen in suspended animation for decades until he wakes up in 2012 and readies for the events of the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ''The Avengers''. Virtues shown include patriotism, perseverance, and the courage to confront evil dictators. It condemns against globalist views in the climax of the film, as Schmidt, when taunting Rogers, says, "I've seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!", referring to Rogers' choice to fight for his nation rather than harness the power of gods. Rogers rejects his claim by shouting, "Not my future!" Capitalism is painted positively in the form of a young Howard Stark (father of fellow Marvel superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man), who is first seen holding an expo for possible future inventions, including a flying car. The film condemns infidelity and premarital relations as well: British intelligence agent Peggy Carter initially assumes that Rogers is cheating on her (she learns the girl he is first seen dating previously forced herself on him); and, when Howard Stark says "fondue", he says he means a platonic dinner with Carter rather than innuendo for sex.

A rift in the team forms because of the disagreement between its two co-leaders: Tony Stark/Iron Man is for this measure, while Steve Rogers/Captain America is against it. Rogers, who believes in self-governance and along with his allies (Bucky Barnes/the Winter Solider, Sam Wilson/Falcon, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, and Scott Lang/Ant-Man) that it would be harmful to have the Avengers require government permission to fight a crime, never changes his stance on the issue.

|''Casablanca''
|1942
|NR
|This most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film was based on the play "Everybody Comes to Rick's." The triumph in the film of fidelity over promiscuity is a strongly [[conservative]] theme, and this movie portrays [[marriage]], [[love]], and fighting for freedom in a compelling way. This film glorifies self-sacrifice for greater good, and promotes doing what's right even at expense to oneself (Rick, as played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]). [[Vichy France]] and [[Nazi]]s are disparaged. The actors and actresses on the set of the filming conducted themselves admirably off-camera, in contrast with other films, and even played [[chess]] during breaks and in a filmed scene.
 Minor quibbling about the film focuses on incidental dialogue which implied that Rick had aided and supported the cause of the [[Communist]]s during the [[Spanish Civil War]] (it should be noted that such dialogue was exclusive to the film and not present in the original play<ref>http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf (dead link, archived version [https://web.archive.org/web/20141224092710/http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf here])</ref>), and how Lazlo was an "international leader" of a resistance movement against the Nazis hinting at his being a Soviet plant.

It also is one of the few films to [[Allusion|allude]] to the anti-Semitic [[Doctor's plot]] that Stalin had orchestrated prior to his death (which had ironically been precipitated due to the doctor's plot killing off all the best doctors in Moscow at the time), making clear that, contrary to what the left claims, the USSR and the left adhered to anti-Semitism. The director of the film, Armando Iannucci, admits that a large part of the reason he made the film was partly because of how Stalin was still revered in Russia to the extent that the Russian hotel he stayed at had a portrait of Stalin up, while pointing out that no one would dare do the same regarding Hitler in similar situations.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/features/armando-iannucci-death-of-stalin-trumps-funeral-w517602</ref> As if reinforcing this, the movie also ended up banned in Russia at the order of [[Vladimir Putin]].

|1986
|PG-13
|A cool teen in Chicago plays hooky with his girlfriend, his best friend, and a vintage Ferrari restored by his best friend's unseen, car-obsessed father. The film shows how teenagers can have fun without drugs, alcohol, or tobacco; and the main character is faithful to his girlfriend, likely choosing abstinence. In a clear anti-socialist statement, Ferris says that "I'm not European, I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism." Since the movie mocks the liberal public education system, Ferris even directly states that he is not socialist and will never be such. Furthermore, the character arc experienced by Ferris' best friend Cameron Fry promotes family unity because, after taking out his anger on his father's Ferrari and ultimately wrecking it beyond repair, Cameron gains the emotional maturity and courage to confront Mr. Fry about neglecting his wife and son for some time due to his obsession with restoring the car. Conservative commentator, economist, and comedian [[Ben Stein]] appears as one of Ferris's teachers.

As Tevyeh's daughters break with Jewish marriage customs in different ways one by one, their home shtetl of Anatevka becomes more vulnerable to tsarist invaders, suggesting that tradition is what keeps society strong and healthy. Even so, Tevyeh makes clear before the opening credits that, "Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as... as... as a fiddler on the roof!"

|Fight Club
|1999

|Fight club is considered to be a "conservative classic" for audiences mature enough to handle the violence and language. It argues against the idea that society can alter or control our basic human nature. One of the characters rants against consumerism which lead liberals to believe it is anti-capitalist moral, but don't be fooled. In reality it's pro self governance and anti-consumerism moral. We can't fill our happiness with buying things. It's pro-masculinity and warns society of the dangers of trying to suppress masculinity and promotes assertiveness and strength in men's minds and bodies.
The story is about a nameless first person character (Edward Norton) who is stuck in an unwanted job and life, who attends support groups to deal with his insomnia and depressed emotional state. He runes into a female romantic interest around the same time he begins associating with "Tyler" (Brad Pitt) where he gets embroiled in an underground fight club and soap making scheme.

|A boy named David Scott Freeman is abducted by a UFO and then wakes up in a ravine, only to discover that he's been transported 8 years into the future. The series contains strong pro-family themes as David's parents are shown to be filled with overwhelming joy and happiness after seeing David for the first time in 8 years. David's little brother, Jeff, has an antagonistic relationship with David early in the movie but when David disappears for 8 years, a now-16-year-old Jeff regrets the way he treated his brother and reconciles with him. David's family is very supportive in helping him adjust to his situation. When David is in the hospital for testing to find out why he hasn't aged, one of his family stays with him at all times so he won't be alone. When David goes back in time at the end of the film, he learns to have more appreciation for his family, including Jeff. The film also depicts government bureaucrats in a negative light, as NASA treats the UFO and David as mere science experiments and is unsympathetic to David's situation. The agents take David away from his family and put him in an isolated, locked room. David's father becomes enraged when he finds out how NASA has been treating David. The agents later place the whole family under House Arrest. When David goes to his family's home in 1986, the NASA agents are there to take him away again, and that's when he decides to go back in time to 1978 despite the ship's computer, Max, insisting that it's potentially dangerous.

|Three parapsychologists (later joined by a fourth teammate, who acts as their voice of reason) lose their jobs at Columbia University as they fail to deal with a ghost plaguing the New York Public Library, so they develop ghost-weakening "proton packs" and go into business ridding New York City of poltergeists. The film fittingly satirizes an unfair (and likely liberal) professor, senseless academic research, paganism, and a villainous EPA regulator. One conservative sample line by Ghostbuster Raymond "Ray" Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) when asked to shift from the public to the [[private sector]] reads like this: "I don’t know about that. I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results!" A sequel, ''Ghostbusters 2'', followed in 1989, though there is some debate as to whether it qualifies as great since it revisits many of the same plot points from the first movie. The original film was remade in 2016 as a liberal revisionist and pro-feminist piece (with the four main character all female), which bombed at the box office and had a trailer almost universally panned on YouTube.

The movie portrays family values like the love between siblings in a positive light, from Binx trying (but sadly failing) to save his sister from dying to Max drinking a deadly potion to draw the witches' attention away from Dani; Winifred in contrast (played by very liberal actress Bette Midler) callously doesn't do the same for her own sisters. Heaven is shown at the end of the movie when Binx reunites with his sister, and their spirits walk to Heaven together. A novelization/sequel of the movie was published in 2018.

|''Home Alone''
|1990
|PG
|This Christmas classic is about Kevin McCallister, who accidentally gets stuck home alone and thus learns to be independent and self-reliant. Not only that, but he defends his family house from burglars by resourcefully making booby traps out of everyday items, including firearms. Kevin is shown to be a Christian, too, as he goes to church and is shown praying and giving grace before his dinner. After Kevin gets into an altercation with his older brother Buzz, he wishes his family would disappear. After he wakes up and finds his family gone, he is at first overjoyed at having no one talking down to him or telling him he can't do things, but as the film progresses, he begins to miss his family and learns how important they are. Likewise, Kevin's mother Kate is determined to get back to Chicago to see Kevin and will make any sacrifice necessary. The film shows the value of charity because the supporting character Gus Polinski (played by the late John Candy) empathizes with Kate, being a father himself, and offers Kate a ride with his Polka band.

Three sequels, the third and fourth films without its original star as Kevin, followed later on.

On a side note, the police officer of the movie is shown in a positive light (who also makes a brief pro-gun claim), eventually realizing the parents were right, and helping them take down the corrupt government official.

His father, likewise It also deals with redemption as well, as after Tony Stark made a very big mess of himself, he worked hard to redeem himself for his past behavior, ultimately succeeding in the ending. It also promotes the concept of honoring thy father and family values, as Tony noted that his father, Howard Stark, has been distant with him, although a later film reel, which also proved instrumental to saving his life, revealed that Howard Stark, while distant, nonetheless genuinely loved his son and even gave him words of encouragement from beyond the grave. Howard, likewise, was depicted in a manner similar to famed animator and capitalist [[Walt Disney]]. It also depicts feminism in a negative light, as while Pepper Potts did run Stark Enterprises, it was solely due to anger at Tony Stark's bad behavior in the film and not because she wanted it. It also condemns nihilism as well, as the reason why Tony Stark behaved badly was due to him dying and figuring he might as well act irresponsibly for his last days living. Also like the past film, it depicted terrorism (in particular communist-based terrorism) and treason in a very negative light, as Armand Hammer, in clear envy towards Tony Stark, proceeded to break out and hire an infamous Russian terrorist, Ivan Vanko, who held a grudge against Tony Stark due to his father Howard Stark sending his father Anton Vanko back to the USSR under suspicions that he was a Communist plant, with the terrorist later proceeding to have Hammer's Iron Man knockoff suits automatically attack everyone with Hammer being arrested. Also condemns the idea of government intervention in businesses, due to Iron Man being exceedingly reluctant to sell off his Iron Man suit to the government.

|''Logan''
|2017
|R
|(not for children) Unlike the mainstream ''X-Men'' films, which focus on the struggle of mutants to gain acceptance in the world (similar to homosexual rights), Hugh Jackman's final appearance as Logan/Wolverine takes on a much more personal and realistic tone, Logan being by far the most human mutant portrayed in the movies. With mutants on the brink of extinction, Logan's healing factor beginning to fail him, and the metal coating his skeleton now poisoning him, Logan has been reduced to working as a limo chauffeur to care for an ailing Charles Xavier. He is also binging on alcohol far more than ever before, much to the chagrin of fellow mutant Caliban. He reluctantly agrees, at the behest of a nurse named Gabriela, to escort Laura, a young girl and clone-daughter of Logan, to "Eden," a safe haven (and reference to the location of the birth of mankind) for mutant children who were born within the walls of Transigen, a biomedical company that had illegally used the DNA of mutants, including Logan, to create cloned children whom they turned into soldiers.

The movie emphasizes faith at least twice, most notably when Logan and Charles view Gabriela's phone video about Transigen, in which she says that the children have never seen any of God's creations, as well as Charles saying that Eden is "real for Laura," despite Logan's skepticism. The nature of Transigen's horrific experiments also gives the movie anti-cloning and anti-God playing messages. But even more importantly, despite his losing faith with the world, his fellow mutants all but gone, Logan is reminded of the value of family, he, Charles, and Laura accepting a family's invitation to have dinner and spend the night. Charles remarks to Logan, "This is what life looks like. A house. A safe place. People who love each other. You should take a moment." Finally, in the movie's climax, Logan finds the redemption he has long sought, facing off against a clone, as well as a symbol of the violent demons within himself, giving his own life, so that the children can escape across the border into Canada.

The film carries an implicit promotion of national borders and legal immigration/assimilation, as the titular organization keeps the existence of extraterrestrial immigrants secret and allows them in so long as the aliens specifically make sure they undergo naturalization first and that they obey certain laws. In addition, the opening scene has Kay and his partner stopping attempted illegal immigrants from crossing into the country and was implied to be working alongside the ICE and border patrol to prevent illegal immigrants into the country while trying to prevent a literal illegal alien, Mikey, from entering the country illegally, with the alien being depicted in a negative light due to him trying to kill an ICE agent before being atomized by Kay. Also condemns terrorism, as the main villain, Edgar the Bug, arrived on Earth to personally assassinate two extraterrestrial diplomats of two warring civilizations specifically to engineer a war with Earth and thus allow his kind to feast on any killed in battle. There's also a subtle mocking of the liberal news rag ''New York Times'', where one of the characters, Kay, when explaining to Jay that he was searching via tabloid articles, suggested he could use the ''New York Times'' as searching for information as "they sometimes get it right", implying that the ''New York Times'' was less reliable than tabloid articles.

|2019
|N/A
|As implied by the title, it covers Welsh Journalist Gareth Jones' attempts at exposing the true horrific nature of the Soviet Union under Stalin, including Holodomor. The film is explicitly anti-Communist, as the Soviets are made clear fairly early on to have silenced people, including reporter Paul Kleb, by killing them, as well as revealing Holodomor. It also pulls no punches and makes clear that the ''[[New York Times]]'', and more specifically its head [[Walter Duranty]], was fully complicit in hiding Stalin's crimes and depicted them in a very negative light, and also highlights the full corruption of the leftist media, as Duranty utilized drugs and sex at private parties to buy his fellow journalists' silence. It also is pointedly made relevant with the current day due to the [[cancel culture]] that is prevalent on social media.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/culture/bryan-preston/2020/06/23/mr-jones-movie-depicts-when-the-new-york-times-helped-stalin-cancel-10-million-n568265</ref>

However, when his daughter and best friend are kidnapped, Keller takes matters into his own hands by kidnapping, imprisoning, and torturing the man whom he believes is responsible, even though it becomes apparent that he could not have done it. This is a clear transformation from holy man to sinner, as is symbolized at one point by the filmmakers intentionally changing Keller's daughter's best friend's rat from white to black. This makes it clear that the movie is self-aware that its main protagonist is no longer a good Christian man. Furthermore, this is could be a symbolization of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, as the man being tortured is innocent, and suffering for the crimes of the real kidnapper, his aunt.

The movie is quite-pro family with the main character; Billy Batson, realizing end that family is what matters most, and even claims “If a superhero can’t save his family, then he’s not much of a superhero.” Also, it is pro-Christianity, with the family saying Grace and thanking and showing gratitude towards the [[Lord]] for their meal (which is very rare for a superhero movie). As well as the villain being [[Nihilist|nihilistic]] and leading the demons of the seven deadly sins. In addition, the hero is played by actor Zachary Levi who is a Christian, and his faith may have cost him some roles earlier (most likely because of [[Hollywood Values]]).<ref>https://godtv.com/6-hollywood-entertainers-didnt-know-were-christians/</ref> The film also in way condemns the pro-choice agenda as well as [[feminism]], as the main character's mother abandons him on purpose and just leaves him to survive on his own Finally, there is a small anti-alcoholism message with the characters taking a sip of alcohol for the first time, and then spitting it out, only to return the rest of it, and buy candy and soda instead. <ref>https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/04/05/shazam-review-not-another-origin-story/</ref>

|At an airborne high school for tomorrow's superheroes, student Will Stronghold is the son of two costumed vigilantes who, while he does not appear to have superpowers at first, develop them over time, hinting at the idea of social advancement, which is the basis for the [[American Dream]]. The main lesson he learns is knowing how to use one's abilities to one's advantage and achieve a greater goal. A catchphrase in the film is: "Just because you have powers, that doesn't make you a hero," which can be related to the expression, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." On a similar note, similar to ''The Incredibles'', the line also condemns forced diversity promotion messages such as "everyone can be a hero".
Furthermore, the film promotes the idea that anyone can be a hero, as Will and his "sidekick" friends with seemingly unimpressive superhuman abilities eventually rise above their assigned statuses and save the school. Also, Gwen Grayson/Royal Pain, the feminist main villain, seeks to turn all the superheroes into babies, then raise them up to be evil and loyal to her (perhaps an effort to play God). In addition, Will's best friend Layla Williams, who can control plant life and ultimately becomes his girlfriend, is shown to contain many liberal beliefs, especially pacifism, but she gives up her pacifism to fight back and help defeat Royal Pain and her cronies.

|Johnny, the young son of a plantation owner in the Post-Reconstruction American South meets Uncle Remus, a wise old storyteller who tells him stories of a crafty rabbit who uses his wits to avoid being eaten by an evil fox and his dimwitted bear sidekick. It is very pro-family, as it depicts Johnny's family as very caring and protective towards him, especially when they attempt to keep Uncle Remus from seeing him or telling him stories, and when they care for him after he is mauled by the bull. Johnny's parents tell him not to go into the Bull Patch, teaching children to obey their parents. Johnny is also disciplined for outsmarting the Favors children, showing a clear anti-lying message. Johnny's family are conservative Christians, as evidenced by their references to "The Good Lord" and their dressing Johnny up in a fancy Sunday outfit. The scene where Johnny is mocked for wearing a lace collar and called "a girlie" encourages children to dress according to their birth assigned gender, as not doing so could result in unhappiness. Johnny comforts Ginny when she cries, teaching young boys the concept of chivalry. Finally, Br'er Rabbit learns that he can't run away from his troubles, teaching children the concept of personal responsibility.

Unfortunately, the movie ended up an early victim of Disney's turn towards leftism in later years by being banned from getting rereleases outside of pirated editions, presumably due to various race-baiting actions by people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson by falsely implying the movie was inherently racist.

|Has the deuteragonist be a humble small town cop while the antagonist is an arrogant self-important (to the extreme) elitist doctor from the federal government. Also, the cop's sister-in-law, a sort of minor antagonist, may be a feminist (she appears to have left her husband and taken her daughter with her) and was always telling his wife to divorce him and she ultimately was left tied up and forgotten (by mistake) when she was going to turn the cop in to the federal government (he had punched the elitist Dr. Robotnik to keep him from capturing Sonic and was now hunted by the government.). Also, the protagonist, Sonic, while immature, is fairly self-sufficient, having lived alone on earth for a decade after being separated from his guardian Longclaw as a child. Sonic, who was told by the well-meaning Longclaw to live away from others so that they capture him to get to his powers, finally learns to face his problems and stop running. (However, it should be noted that there was one scene, while Sonic and the cop were on the run, they got into a barfight and, though they won it, Sonic made a remark , as they were fleeing, that he wasn't sure if they paid their tab and seemed to think it was funny, and stealing isn't cool. It is antics like this, though somewhat understandable for a character from another planet who suffered from loneliness and was never trained how to properly behave on earth as he lived alone for a decade, that make the protagonist a less-than-ideal role model for children.)

Also, even throughout the film is about supervillains, many of them regret their lives of crime, such as one of the characters Deadshot abandons his opportunity to kill Batman on his daughter's behalf and another character El Diablo who used his superpower for evil ends up accidentally killing his family, which has haunted him.
Moreover, in a dream sequence villain Harley Quinn shows her deepest desires which is being a housewife (points for having the guts for showing a female character not wanting to be part of the feminist agenda, especially in this day and age, even if it not surprisingly infuriated liberal critics<ref>http://www.avclub.com/article/margot-robbie-deserves-better-suicide-squads-sexis-240618</ref>).

|The first live-action adaptation of Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman's creations.

The family themes are even more emphasized when Leonardo has an argument with Raphael, which results in Raph going off on his own, getting ambushed and nearly killed by the Foot Clan. Leonardo then regrets his actions and stands vigil over his unconscious brother, hoping that he will wake up so that Leo can apologize (and they do reconcile). Splinter gets kidnapped very early in the movie and the turtles are very distraught by his absence. The movie also paints hedonism and deliquency in a negative light, and the Foot Clan is shown to be a gang of teenage runaways taken in by Shredder who maintain a hideout full of vices such as smoking, drinking, and gambling. Shredder exploits them by giving them their hedonistic desires in exchange for their loyalty. this is most emphasized with the character of Danny Pennington, who is estranged from his father and runs away to join the Foot Clan. Later in the movie, Splinter reveals to Danny that Shedder is in fact Oroku Saki, the man responsible for killing his owner, Hamato Yoshi, and he convinces Danny to reconcile with his father.

Although family friendly overall, it pulls no punches in showcasing the horrors of the French Revolution as well as the anti-Christian ideology behind it, including two of the key characters giving a full list of the various atrocities indulged by the French Revolution, including but not limited to the raiding of the Bastille, the September Massacres, and the unlawful execution of King Louis XVI, as well as heavily implying Satan's role in the revolution by frequently showing at various points, especially in scenes with Robespierre, a black hooded figure.

|This rendition of H.G. Wells' classic 1898 novel without "The" in its title features Tom Cruise as Ray Ferrier, an initially easygoing and selfish working class man, who must watch his teenage son, Robbie and young daughter, Rachel, while his ex-wife and new husband visit her parents for the weekend. The movie's pro-family message comes entirely into focus, when the aliens arrive and force Ray and his children to flee. Throughout their time together, Ray clashes with Robbie, the latter critical of him as a father, but in the end, they reconcile, after the invaders are eliminated. The movie is also pro-military and highlights Robbie's bravery to join them in the fight against the invaders, despite Ray's protests.

|''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory''
|1971
|G
|Showing the importance of having character. Willy Wonka gives each of the kids on tour an Everlasting Gobstopper, which is a potential goldmine, given that a rival spy had earlier offered each of the kids money in exchange for handing over this new invention. Also, every single kid, except Charlie, misbehaves in such a way that injures or deforms them in some way. The film also promotes capitalism, with Wonka being such a successful business leader in the world of candy. In addition, this film is surely to annoy liberals, who want to ban chocolate candy and sweets.<ref>http://www.toberight.com/2012/02/liberals-banning-sweets-on-valentines-day/</ref>

The hidden message in this film is one of redemption. It is hidden because it is conveyed through the imagery of the film's final scene. Charlie has made it to the end of his journey. Despite having the urge, and a clean opportunity, to sell Wonka out to his rival, Charlie ends up giving the Everlasting Gobstopper back to Wonka. For this act of integrity, he is rewarded beyond his wildest expectations—he is given ownership of the factory. Incidentally, while he is riding in the Wonkavator, it crashes through the ceiling up into the sky. The [[allusion]] to [[Heaven]] and [[salvation]] is unmistakable.

|''[[101 Dalmatians]]''
|1961
|G
|Set in 1960s London, England, a Dalmatian couple named Pongo and Perdita welcome their fifteen puppies into the world. When the fur-obsessed Cruella De Vil and her henchmen steal the puppies, the Dalmatians cross the English countryside to get them back. The movie portray the importance of family positively in the form of Pongo and Perdita stopping at nothing until they rescue their puppies; they also adopt the other eighty-four puppies Cruella had bought to turn into fur coats, which shows family by adoption in a positive light. Marriage is also shown in a positive light in the form of a Christian wedding ceremony for the dogs' owners and the dogs themselves as well. It also positively portrays heroism in the forms of several animals (including Sergeant Tibbs the cat, Colonel the sheepdog, and Captain the horse) assisting the Dalmatians in finding their puppies and helping them all get home. A live-action remake was released in 1996.

|''A Bug's Life''
|1998
|G
|Based on the Aesop fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper", a young and inventive, if clumsy, ant named Flik plans to recruit a military force of warrior insects to save his colony from being oppressed by evil grasshoppers who have enslaved the ants to harvest food for them, lest they may be punished. Flik is a model for individualism as well as a strong work ethic who believes in bettering himself and his colony with his impressive harvesting inventions. To some extent, the film pokes fun at the homosexual agenda, in particular transvestitism: the male ladybug Francis frequently mistaken for a woman because of his species' name, and he routinely corrects other characters about this confusion, at one point even launching into a tirade with several flies before having to be restrained.

|''All Dogs go to Heaven''
|1989
|G
|The film's protagonist, a talking dog named Charlie B. Barkin (Voiced by Burt Reynolds), is a gambler and a swindler. After being murdered by his former partner, Carface, he comes back to life by winding his "life watch" and plans to get revenge on Carface. He "rescues" a girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by the late Judith Barsi) from Carface and exploits her ability to talk to animals in order to win at gambling. As the film progresses, Charlie begins to be influenced by Anne-Marie's kindness and love. In the end, he must choose between saving Anne-Marie's life and protecting his "life watch" (he will die if it ever stops) and he chooses the former.

The film depicts Christianity in a positive light. In addition to the obvious references to Heaven and Hell, Anne-Marie is also shown praying before she goes to bed, thanking God for Charlie's "rescue" (which, even though he had his own selfish purposes, did get her away from Carface's abuse).

The film is also pro-family. Anne-Marie is introduced as an orphan who wants to find new parents. During the movie, she meets a compassionate couple named Kate and Harold, who eventually adopt her.

|A movie dealing with immigration, the movie is pro-family due to Fieval, the main character, being separated from his family due to a storm, and him and his family going out of their way to find each other. Also has a subtle condemnation of machine politics ([[Tammany Hall]], in this case) and voter fraud due to one of the characters, "Honest" John, the implied mouse mayor of New York City, declaring a then-recently deceased mouse (who was implied to have died before he was old enough to vote) to be able to "vote from now on" before adding the mouse's name to a book (a clear allusion to ghost voters), with the mouse not being painted in a particularly good light. Also promotes legal immigration, and a redemption theme due to one of the antagonists, an orange tabby cat named Tiger, ultimately being befriended by Fieval and becoming an ally to the mice.

|''The Angry Birds Movie''
|2016
|PG
|Based on the video game app of the same name, the film has its moments of rude humor but surprisingly has a strong Anti-Illegal Immigration message with the pigs practically representing Islamic migrants (the villain, King Mudbeard, even looks like a Middle Eastern man). The pigs trick the birds into accepting them to live on their island and once they have their respect, steal their eggs and blow up their island (part of the collateral damage is a statue of a [[bald eagle]] no less). Red, the only bird who was suspicious of them from the beginning, is first demonized by the community because of this, but later forgiven after he is proven right and decides to fight back and rescue their eggs from the pigs.

|''Animal Farm'' (animated film)

|Animated film adaptation of the conservative text of the same name from George Orwell. Just like in the novel, it uses animals in the pretext of leveling harsh criticism against Communism and against Josef Stalin. Unlike in the book, which heavily implies that the pigs ultimately succeed in taking power with the animals being left unable to do anything against them, the film ends with the animals doing a successful revolt against the pigs, although the ending leaves it ambiguous as to whether the animals will learn their lesson on communism from the experience. It was also made in part by the [[CIA]].

|''Chicken Little''
|1943
|
|A Disney animated short (back when Conservatives were still in charge) that shows the dangers of listening to lies and rumors, and falling prey to persuasive leaders. The studio originally wanted to have the villain of the short, Foxy Loxy read Hitler's ''Mein Kampf'' to make sure no one missed the point, but in the end they changed it to just a generic psychology book in attempt to prevent the short from becoming dated after the war, although in the actual film, the passages he was heard reading were taken directly from ''Mein Kampf'', thus preserving the scene's original message overall.<ref>http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w2rTnQ7x68M/UkZ7sfQmfoI/AAAAAAAAHzE/SM9wrZ6A4vE/s1600/CLSB+9.jpg</ref> On a related note, the short is further evidence disproving various liberal claims that Walt Disney had been a fascist/Nazi supporter.

After entering the Land of the Dead, Miguel encounters Héctor, a down-on-his-luck skeleton who once played music with Ernesto.

|''Dinosaur''
|2000

|A clan of lemurs living on a tropical island finds an egg and raises a baby dinosaur from that egg: an ''Iguanodon'' named Aladar. When their island home is destroyed by a meteor shower years later, Aladar and four remaining lemurs join a herd of migrating dinosaurs on their way to their nesting grounds, all while predators lurk behind them. The movie portrays family - both by blood and adoption - very well, shown when the lemurs adopt and raise Aladar while he protects them in return. Even Kron - the herd's stubborn leader - and his sister Neera share a bond; Kron never acts harsh towards Neera, and Neera tries (but unfortunately fails) to save Kron from a ''Carnotaurus''. Aladar is also shown to be against [[Social Darwinism]], opposing Kron's strict belief that the old and weak should be left behind and helping the oldest dinosaurs in the herd keep up; his beliefs are also what gets Neera to like him, after watching him helping Eema the elderly ''Styracosaurus'' and two orphaned ''Iguanodons'' get some water. Redemption is also positively shown when Bruton - second-in-command to Kron - sacrifices himself to save the stragglers of the herd by bringing the cave down onto himself and a predator.

|''Dr. Seuss' The Grinch''
|2018
|PG
|Like the animated special and live-action film before it, the film retains the anti-nihilism and redemptive themes in the movie. The anti-materialism message also is further reinforced as Grinch's chance encounter with Cindy Lou Who has him learning that she didn't even intend to ask for presents, but rather to ease her mom's burden due to doing so many things for so many people, which ultimately acted as the catalyst for his redemption. Also has a promotion of family values, since as noted above, Cindy Lou Who expressed concern for her mom barely spending time being a mom and burning the wick at both ends, and a primary part of the Grinch's hatred for the holiday dealt with his time as an orphan, with it being heavily implied that he was alone even in the orphanage. Due to several scenes in the film with Christmas carols being sung, it is also one of the few movies to explicitly note that the point of Christmas was also a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

It also illustrates the effective management of a business that treats people and animals as equals. Later in the film, a flock of jolly birds encourage Dumbo to pull himself up by his bootstraps and learn to fly. An anti-bullying message is also shown with the elephants in the circus cruelly laughing at Dumbo and later blaming him for getting his mother locked up, though Timothy Q.

Also has an anti-eminent domain lesson, with Kuzco realizes it would be wrong of him to steal the land from the villagers. The villain is also a feminist, with it being heavily implied that her methods of raising Kuzco are the primary reason why he turned out a spoiled brat. Is also a rare example of a comedy film churned out of Hollywood that actually does use witty humor and not low-hanging fruit-type jokes for its humor. It also has a humorous condemnation of homosexuality, as when Kuzco is knocked unconscious from the rapids, Pacha attempted to perform CPR only for Kuzco to regain consciousness just as Pacha was about start CPR, causing both to recoil in disgust from the near-kiss, as well as Kuzco explicitly making clear such was disgusting. Although the ending was slightly altered due to songwriter Sting, an environmentalist, taking offense at the implication that Kuzco built his summer retreat in the Jungle and cleared them away, it nonetheless retained the hints that Kuzco ultimately was a changed man from the experience.

He also shows off his dance moves with other bulls to snobbish horses, and even helps a Scottish bull named Angus be able to see by moving back the hair in front of his face.

|Benio Hanamura lost her mother when she was very young and has been raised by her father, a high-ranking official in the Japanese army. As a result, she has grown into a tomboy - contrary to traditional Japanese notions of femininity, she studies kendo, drinks sake, dresses in often ridiculous Western fashions instead of the traditional kimono, and isn't as interested in housework as she is in literature. She also rejects the idea of arranged marriages and believes in a woman's right to a career and to marry for love. Benio's best friends are the beautiful Tamaki, who is much more feminine than Benio but equally interested in women's rights, and Ranmaru, a young man who was raised to play female roles in the kabuki theater and as a result has acquired very effeminate mannerisms. One day, Benio has a series of embarrassing encounters with the handsome army lieutenant Shinobu Ijuin, only to receive a shock when her father tells her that Shinobu is to be her husband, due to a pact made between the Hanamura and Ijuin families before Benio's birth. At first Benio tries to fight against her father's wishes, attempting to elope with her friend Ranmaru and eventually deliberately erring in her wifely duties in every way imaginable, hoping the families will cancel the engagement. However, her scheme fails - Shinobu genuinely loves Benio and patiently forgives her for her many blunders, and Benio soon realizes that in spite of herself, she is also falling in love with him. However, a major in the army who holds a grudge against Shinobu then sends the young lieutenant to fight in Manchuria.

In the end, the grandson uses his vampiric powers to battle giant bats who attack the Dracula family for including humans in their lineage.

|2002
|PG
|In prehistoric times, a woolly mammoth, a giant ground sloth, and a ''Smilodon'' (i.e., saber-toothed tiger) work together to return a nomadic human chief's infant son to his tribe. Better than any of its four increasingly poorly-made sequels, this film promotes friendship and family values, especially on the part of Diego the ''Smilodon'', who learns that revenge does not solve anything: he first wants to eat the infant as payback for losing half of his pack to human hunters but grows to like the child and appreciate the innocence he represents. Manny also undergoes similar development, originally not being fond of the infant and overall being cynical and unpleasant for reasons later revealed by a cave painting to be due to his own mate and child having been slaughtered by a tribe of humans, but then ultimately forms a bit of a bond with him for similar reasons to why Diego grew to like the child. There are a couple of characters named Carl and Frank who are heavily implied to be homosexual, although they were depicted in a very negative light, having a murderous hatred of Sid for very trivial reasons (namely, the fact that Sid accidentally ruined their salad due to trying to wipe off poop he stepped on by accident as well as obliviously eating a dandelion, with Manny having some disgust for them when learning they wanted to kill Sid for pleasure, and later after Sid called them "ladies" upon reaching the wrong spa, and only failed to kill him that time due to Sid and Diego tricking them into believing the latter killed him.).

|''[[The Incredibles]]''
|2004
|PG
|The world's superheroes are forced to give up their heroics and go into hiding after Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible saves a suicidal man as well as a derailed train from a bridge destroyed by one of his enemies (who ironically gets away with it). The populace misguidedly turns on superheroes and turn to unscrupulous lawyers to sue them, despite the real damage being caused by the supervillains.

The film celebrates the importance of the family unit: Helen Parr/Elastigirl fails at parenting when Bob neglects to help her raise their children. A traditional family of superheroes is portrayed as the saviors of society, whose importance and presence has been unfairly suppressed thanks to the liberal-dominated mainstream media and its preference to see the worst in people. In addition, Mr. Incredible is shown from the start to take marriage to Helen seriously, immediately heading over to his wedding when he realizes he may be running late and doing various crime-stopping when he has time before it.

The movie also contains the conservative idea that recognition should be based on merit rather than on unsubstantiated expectations of equality. Out of sheer jealousy, the villainous Syndrome, formerly Mr. Incredible's biggest fan, attempts to kill off real superheroes so he can use technology to pretend to be one, later planning to sell his gadgets so everyone in the world can have superpowers. "And when everyone is super," he explains, "no one will be." Earlier in the film, Dash, when explaining he pulled a prank on the school teacher simply so he could demonstrate his super-speed, echoes what Syndrome says later on: Helen states everyone was special in their own way by saying that it was simply another way of saying no one was truly special. When Mr. Incredible is asked to attend his son's fifth-grade graduation, he criticizes society for "celebrating mediocrity" instead of those who are "genuinely exceptional."

At Bob Parr's civilian job, employer Gilbert Huph is shown to be heartless but not because of capitalism: when Bob asks if he should help his customers, Gilbert tells him, "The law requires that I answer no", which shows the negativity of government regulation in business.

Overall, the film teaches against government-enforced mediocrity. This film may be the most conservative animation film ever made, in fact it is ranked Number 2 by National Review for the most conservative movies within the last 25 years. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150122222200/https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/177317/2-best-conservative-movies-last-25-years/frederica-mathewes-greene</ref> A sequel was released in 2018.

|''Isle Of Dogs''
|2018
|PG-13
|Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around. The mayor's nephew and ward, Atari, heads over to the island to find his dog Spots and is befriended by five dogs (Chief, Rex, King, Boss, and Duke), who all decide to help him find Spots. Along the way, they discover that the mayor has hidden sinister motives behind banning all dogs from Megasaki. Totalitarian rule is rightfully condemned, with Mayor Kobayashi arranging for the death of a scientist when said man finds a cure for dog flu. The movie also condemns animal cruelty, as shown in the case of Kobayashi's anti-dog propaganda and Gondo's "cannibal" pack, who have been subjected to scientific experiments until an "act of God" rescued them. It also shows family and redemption in a positive light, for Mayor Kobayashi has taken Atari in after his parents were killed and decides to abandon his anti-dog plans once he sees how much Atari has gone through, even donating a kidney once the boy's remaining kidney fails.

|''[[Lady and the Tramp]]''
|1955
|G
|In this beloved Disney classic, which was known as Walt Disney’s Happiest Motion Picture, Lady a cocker spinal meets and falls in love with a male stray mongrel known as the Tramp. While aside from the film being pro-family, the dogs to whatever they can to protect the human baby from the rat, in showing [[chivalry]]. In addition, Lady condemns Tramp for having other girlfriends, after finding out from the pound dogs that his only weakness is that he is a womanizer, thus showing infidelity and promiscuity in a very negative light. In the end, he becomes faithful to her and joins her human family. There also anti-environmentalist aspects as well, with the dogs learning to understand their place, that although humans come first they still have a place in their heart, as the beliefs Tramp had on humans being so cruel turned out to be false. Also, the iconic Bella Notte scene where they accidentally kiss by eating the same spaghetti took place and was served by the kind-hearted capitalist restaurant owner Tony. On top of that, this is a rarity in Disney Animation to have Christmas depicted in the film and shown in a positive light.

In 2000, a sequel starring Scamp - the son of Lady and Tramp - premiered on home video. A live-action remake was released and streamed on Disney+ in November 2019.

|''The Land Before Time''
|1988
|G
|In this film that promotes family values and friendship, the main character (Littlefoot) is a dinosaur that loses his mother. This sparked some controversy, because the killing of a family member is quite violent for a movie with a kid-targeted audience, but this movie redeems itself through the plot. Littlefoot finds friends throughout the movie that show team work, cooperation, hard work, and diligence are the key to living a successful life, even in the dinosaur world. Over the span of twenty-eight years, thirteen sequels had been released on home video. On the good side, the sequels have good conservative values like family and friendship; on the bad side, they lack the impact that the 1988 movie had.

|''Lilo & Stitch''
|2002
|PG
|In this heartwarming Disney animation, Experiment 626—a short but mischievous, [[koala]]-like beast created by an alien mad scientist (an origin similar to the monster's in the conservative novel ''Frankenstein'' and its 1931 film adaptation)—escapes from an interstellar prison and crashes down in Hawaii, where a lonely girl mistakes him for a dog, adopts him, and names him "Stitch." Stitch then gradually abandons his destructive ways and begins seeking love and friendship. The film is so delightfully pro-family that the tagline is, "''Ohana'' means family [in Hawaiian]. Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten." Also briefly pokes fun at environmentalist policies, as the climax reveals that Earth was nearly subject to an alien invasion in 1973, but the CIA Agent-turned child welfare services agent Cobra Bubbles managed to thwart it by claiming that the Earth was designated a breeding ground for an endangered species called [[mosquito]]es (which obviously weren't endangered at all).

|''[[The Lion King]]''
|1994
|G
|Based mainly upon the Shakespearean play ''Hamlet'', the main message of this box office smash hit is about the power of the individual and the triumph of faith, friendship, hope, and heroism. ''The Lion King'' also features subtle Christian messages, such as honoring one's father and reconciliation.

Its story takes partial inspiration from Scripture, particularly the stories of [[Joseph]] and [[Moses]]. On a side note, the film features the power-hungry main antagonist Scar, who kills his own brother, the ruling king Mufasa, to usurp the throne, then manipulates his nephew, Mufasa's young son Simba, into thinking that Simba is responsible for his father's death and forces him into exile. Scar is a model liberal because, once he becomes ruler, he favors [[Communism|Communistic]]/[[Fascism|fascistic]] big government, pushes [[liberal values]], and lets their Pride Lands territory fall to ruin. In addition, when rallying up the Hyenas to aid him in killing Mufasa, he vows that they will never starve under his rule, mirroring what various Communist and other leftist insurgents often vow when trying to get people to aid them in taking over a government. The song "Be Prepared" also shows the Hyenas [[goose step|goose stepping]] past Scar as he looks down from a cliff in a clear reference to Nazism. On a similar note, the Hyenas also act as a subtle condemnation against illegal immigration and the concept of open borders, as once the Hyenas merge with the Pride Lands and take it over upon Scar becoming king, it is heavily implied that they forced the Lionesses to overhunt and that ended up causing the Pride Lands territory to become a wasteland by driving out any remaining animals, with Scar indicating that they should "eat Zazu" if they want food.

At several points in the film, Scar delusively believes he is still a very good king, even claiming "I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!", which is similar to liberal delusions of their own skills in governing (i.e., Obama's later claim that he would have "won" reelection into a third term if he was able to run again, despite never being legally qualified to run in the first place, not to mention his being legally barred from running for a third term even if he were legally qualified to run in the first place per the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to the United States Constitution). He unsuccessfully attempts to orchestrate the assassination of Simba by using hyena minions and even attempts to kill him himself, to ensure that he will be king and remain so forevermore, but he is thwarted by Simba once the cub reaches adulthood. Simba effectively becomes King and restores the Pride Lands after Scar, who tries to save his own skin by blaming his minions for everything he orchestrated himself, has the hyenas turn against and kill him.

There is a slight condemnation towards anarchy in the film as well: during the song "Be Prepared", the hyena Shenzi, upon learning that Scar is planning to kill Mufasa and Simba, entertains the possibility of a kingless society before Scar sternly tells the laughing hyenas that he intends to be the king. Finally, the film condemns hedonism, as the misfit meerkat and warthog comic reliefs Timon and Pumbaa, while depicted as genuinely heroic at times, engage in a philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" ("No Worries" in Swahili), which is shown overall to be negative.

In addition, the film proved to be a massive runaway hit despite having a completely new production team working on it due to then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg believing it to end up a flop due to it featuring "talking animals" while he thought the Worst Liberal Movie ''Pocahontas'', which he helmed with the usual production team, would be the financial hit and Oscar winner (in reality, ''Pocahontas'' got mixed reviews and did fairly badly at the box office).

The movie spawned two direct-to-video sequels and two TV series, as well as a Broadway musical that retained much of the same themes as the movie. A photorealistic remake was released in July 2019, directed by Jon Favreau due to his success with the 2016 remake of ''The Jungle Book''.

|''The Little Mermaid''
|1989
|G
|An adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale of the same name, it was about a mermaid strives to become a traditional female human, following the patriarchal system of society. It also promotes the concept of [[assimilation]], as the mermaid: Ariel when becoming human intended to adopt the culture of the humans upon doing so. The film centers around conservative Christian values and contains an anti-feminism theme. Ariel is shown to be the antithesis of a modern feminist. The villain Ursula is shown in a devilish and beastly way (appearing as half-woman, half-octopus), and her claims about men not wanting women who talk and care only for a woman's body language (a common claim by [[feminism|feminists]] against males) is made clear to be lies. On a similar note, it also has an implicit anti-homosexuality theme, as Ursula's overall design was derived largely from the infamous drag queen Divine. In addition, it also contains a pro-traditional marriage theme and is the last Disney animated feature film to actually treat traditional marriage in a positive light for a good while.

Despite being set under the sea, it also features an anti-[[Environmentalism]] and anti-racism message, as the characters (namely King Triton) who pushed anti-human sentiments turned out to be wrong in their negative views on humans. Although often ignored by liberal reviewers complaints about the movie (some of whom also adhered to the feminist ideology and thus falsely implied that Ariel solely wanted to become human because of Eric, which led directly to promoting the feminist agenda in ''Beauty and the Beast''.<ref name="Woolverton and Belle" />), it was also pro-family, as during her deal with Ursula, Ariel was explicitly hesitant to undergo the deal citing that, regardless of which way the deal goes, she won't see her father and sisters again. King Triton, after destroying Ariel's grotto in a fit of anger, is clearly shown afterward to be immensely remorseful of his actions after it became apparent that Ariel fled from him as a result, and later tries to save Ariel after learning about Ursula's role in her disappearance and even opts to sacrifice himself to ensure Ariel's (and, implied via dialogue regarding Ursula shortly afterward, her sisters') safety, and Ariel upon witnessing Triton being cursed by Ursula, immediately attempts to avenge him by attacking Ursula.

It also shows a perfect allegory towards liberalism's deceit and cheating to ensure success and its unwillingness to keep its word, as well as the promotion of character integrity and doing things fair and square, as when Ariel seemed to have failed at gaining Eric's love, she makes absolutely no attempt at stopping the marriage until after learning that his "bride", Vanessa (in reality, Ursula in disguise), had in fact brainwashed Prince Eric and that he didn't choose to marry her, with it being implied that Ursula violated her end of the deal when she did that action, and even when she does in fact fail, Ariel makes absolutely no effort to resist Ursula's dragging her away. Likewise, Ursula, besides her blatant interference with the deal by disguising herself as Vanessa and brainwashing Eric, also arranged to have Flotsam and Jetsam overturn Eric and Ariel's boat specifically to ensure that Eric and Ariel couldn't kiss when it looked like Ariel could in fact win her end of the deal fair and square, and after she curses Triton and Ariel attempts to attack Ursula in retaliation, Ursula heavily implies before Eric saved Ariel that she's going to kill the latter despite having promised to not harm Ariel.

The movie's box office success also led directly to a rejuvenation in Disney's animated features called the Disney Renaissance, and the film also had a prequel TV series carrying much of the same themes airing on CBS and later on the Disney Channel from 1992 to 1994, as well as two comic book series by Disney Comics and Marvel that carried many of the same themes, and a sequel and prequel film that, although overall promoting many of the same themes, had questionable production quality. A live-action remake is currently in production.

|The movie showcases the consequences with the concept of playing God where the main antagonist Mewtwo, a clone, was shown to be disturbed at the revelation that he may have only been created to be the purposes of being a tool (with the message being more pronounced in the Japanese version due to religious censorship during dubbing). It also promotes the idea of self-worth and how the circumstances of one's birth don't matter so much as they try to push good, with Mewtwo ultimately being reformed upon learning this message. It also has an anti-cloning message, due to Mewtwo's aforementioned disturbance at his origins.

The cartoon even explains of how Adolf Hitler had destroyed reason and logic by appealing to emotion (like fear, hate, pride, and sympathy) in the Germans' minds. At the end of the cartoon, Reason and Emotion come to an agreement to balance things out: Reason's job is to think, plan, and discriminate, while Emotion's job is to be a fine, strong emotion that loves his country, freedom, and life. On a related note, the reference to Hitler and his being condemned for destroying reason and logic also acts as more evidence that in spite of various leftist claims post-mortem, Walt Disney was never a Nazi supporter.

It also promotes the concept of the American Dream as well as capitalism, as the main protagonist dreams of becoming an inventor like Bigweld (who is depicted in a similar manner to Walt Disney) and also left to try and get his family to have a greater opportunity. It also manages to condemn corporate corruption without advocating for more government control or demonizing Capitalism, as while the new management of Bigweld industries was shown to be extensively corrupt and cynical, Bigweld himself, as well as the company that it originally stood for, was painted in a very positive light.

|''The Secret of NIMH''
|1982
|G
|This family-friendly film includes Mrs Brisby, who is a widowed mouse. She lives on a farm owned by a man named Fitzgibbons. She and her 4 children, Martin, Theresa, Cynthia and Timmy live in a cinderblock in one of Fitzgibbons' fields. Every year, before Fitzgibbons plows the field to plant his crops, the family moves to their summer home to avoid the tractor. Nearby is another mouse, Dr Ages, who is the family doctor. Brisby visits Ages to get a remedy for Timmy, who has come down with pneumonia, potentially delaying the summer move. Fitzgibbons decides one day to begin plowing the field early. Brisby desperately tries to disable the farmer's tractor and freezes while climbing up the mechanism. Auntie Shrew intervenes and pulls out the tractor's gas line, halting the machine. While Mrs Brisby sobs over her predicament, Auntie tells her to be braver for her family's sake and suggests she visit the Great Owl, the wisest creature in the forest. Brisby is hesitant, since owls eat mice, but she goes. With the help of a new found friend, Jeremy, a crow hoping to meet Miss Right, and whom Mrs Brisby untangled from a pile of string he was trapped in, she meets with the fearsome owl, who merely tells her that she must move her family. Mrs Brisby explains the complication with her son Timmy and the owl tells her he has no solution. As he leaves, he learns her last name and becomes more helpful because her husband, Jonathan, was well known and respected throughout the woods. The Owl tells Mrs Brisby to go to the colony of rats that live in the farmer's rose bush and ask them for help. He specifically tells her to have the rats move her house to "the lee of the stone", the protected side of a large rock in the field that Fitzgibbons avoids when plowing. Mrs Brisby sneaks into the rose bush and finds that the rats have built a very modern colony that makes use of electricity that they pilfer from Fitzgibbons. She also meets Dr Ages there, whom at first tells her the rose bush is off-limits but is astonished that she had met with the Great Owl and lived. They are discovered by the rats' captain of the guard, Justin, who takes them to the rats' Senate room. As they enter, a charismatic rat, Jenner, is railing to the council about the plan of the rats' leader, Nicodemus, who wants to abandon the rose bush and move to a location called Thorn Valley where they'll found a new colony based on their own labors, rather than stealing supplies from the farmer. Jenner is opposed to the idea and even suggest that they wage war against any humans who attempt to drive them out. Justin and Ages make Mrs Brisby's case to the council, who agree to the request because she is Jonathan Brisby's wife. In a sinister private meeting with his associate, Sullivan, Jenner plots to have Nicodemus killed during the operation and make it look accidental. Justin takes Mrs Brisby to meet with Nicodemus. A very old, kind and wise leader, he tells Mrs Brisby the rats' history: they were all lab animals imprisoned in NIMH, the National Institutes of Mental Health. Injected with experimental compounds, the rats developed intelligent brains and were able to escape their cages, along with several mice including Jonathan and Mr Ages. During their escape, all but two of the mice, Johnathan and Mr Ages, were sucked into the ventilation system by strong air gusts. When the party were trapped by a vent grating, Jonathan was small enough to crawl through and open the grate. The rats subsequently owed Jonathan their lives and he continued to work with them while they built their colony. Some months prior to Mrs Brisby's visit to the rose bush, Jonathan had been killed by Fitzgibbons' ornery and fearsome cat, Dragon, whom the rats had been trying to drug. Nicodemus gives Brisby a large red amulet and tells her that it has great supernatural powers when someone shows true courage of the heart. Nicodemus says that the rats will be happy to repay their life debt to Jonathan's family and will move her home. For the operation to succeed, Dragon will have to be drugged. Mrs Brisby, feeling she should participate, volunteers to spike Dragon's feeding dish. The only way into Fitzgibbons' kitchen is through a small hole under a sideboard, a hole too small for any rat. The plan goes well until Mrs Brisby runs back and is trapped by Fitzgibbons' son. Justin leaves her, having to supervise the operation, promising to come back for her. While she's trapped in a bird cage, Brisby overhears Fitzgibbons on the phone with NIMH, who want to come to his farm and capture the rats. Brisby realizes the situation is now more desperate and escapes the bird cage by knocking out its small water cup. At the site of the Brisby home, the rats have constructed an elaborate system of ropes and blocks and tackles to lift the cinderblock. While the block is being swung towards the stone, Jenner cuts the anchoring lines with his sword and the block falls, narrowly missing Nicodemus, however, the heavy gears and rope fall on him, killing him. Jenner declares the operation a failure and suggests they leave when Mrs Brisby arrives. Justin tells her that her family is alive but Nicodemus is dead. She suddenly remembers her urgent news that NIMH will be at the farm tomorrow and tells the rats they must leave tonight. Jenner refuses to believe her and tells the rats that he will take over leadership of the colony. When Mrs Brisby insists she's telling the truth, Jenner strikes her and notices that she's wearing the amulet. Attempting to seize it from her, Justin intervenes and fights with Jenner until he wounds him. Jenner admits that he'd caused the accident that killed Nicodemus, saying that the plan to move the colony would fail. As he moves in to kill Justin, Sullivan kills Jenner with a thrown dagger and succumbs to his own wound, inflicted by Jenner himself when he'd given his own sword to Justin during the fight. Moments later, Mrs Brisby sees that her house has begun to sink into the mud, taking her children with it. A futile attempt to rig a new roping system fails and Brisby herself vainly pulls at the remaining ropes as the house sinks under the surface. Justin rescues her, holding her back. As she looks on in horror, the amulet suddenly bursts from the mud, brightly glowing, and places itself around her neck. Using the power that Nicodemus spoke of, she raises the house from the mud and moves it to the lee side of the stone. Brisby's children are safe and she faints from exhaustion. The next morning, with Timmy on the mend from his pneumonia and the now-abandoned rose bush being inspected by NIMH, Jeremy arrives with mounds of string that he'd been collecting to build a love nest and finds the Brisby home already moved and even camouflaged by the natural vegetation. He asks Brisby for the amulet, however, she'd given it to Justin before they'd left the rose bush. While he laments that he wasn't able to help move the house, a female crow suddenly flies into him. The two become immediately infatuated. While Brisby's daughter wraps her mother's hands which were burned by the amulet, Auntie Shrew arrives for a visit, bringing groans from Martin as Jeremy and his new love fly off. This movie's interesting plot, and its complicated themes that are apparent are both entertaining for adults and kids alike. Although there are some references to violent themes, it does not paint them in good lighting and shows the harsh consequences. Because of their wide audience appeal, this movie was wildly successfully in movie theaters. The Secret of NIMH is considered to be one the best children's movies of the 20th century.

The main protagonist - a donkey named Bo (Boaz for short) - aspires to be a part of the royal caravan crossing through Israel, but he finds a greater purpose: to help carry Mary to Bethlehem. Friendship is also portrayed well, as Bo's best friend - a white dove named Dave - stays by his side; even when he can easily escape from danger like flying away, Dave never leaves Bo to face danger alone. Bo even rescues King Herod's two dogs from a cliff, which results in the two dogs changing from bad to good and vowing to do good, thus showing that villains in movies can choose to leave their evil ways behind.

|''Toy Story'' tetralogy
|1995, 1999, 2010, 2019
|G
|Altogether, the four films celebrate friendship and family unity, even if it focuses more on a figurative family with the boy Andy as a father-figure to his toys, who come alive in humans' absence and praise Andy for loving and playing with them as though they were his children.

In the first installment, the world's first computer-animated theatrical feature, pull-string cowboy doll Sheriff Woody grows jealous when science fiction hero action figure Buzz Lightyear, who initially believes he is a real space hero, becomes young Andy's favorite toy among the toy community. Woody's efforts to make himself Andy's favorite toy again cause both him and Buzz to be separated from their owner, but teamwork allows them to find their way back to Andy just before he and his family move to a new house. The film's overall development was especially notable due to then-Disney Animation chairman [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] initially ordering for ''Toy Story'' to be made significantly more liberal in its values by being more "adult, cynical, [and] edgy". This included depicting Woody and the other toys in a significantly more mean-spirited light, with Woody going so far as to actually attempt to murder Buzz with no remorse whatsoever (instead of accidentally knocking Buzz out of the window, as he does in the final film). This caused Toy Story to be almost canceled and Pixar itself to be nearly shut down until the company was given a second chance.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2010/07/07/we-love-pixar-how-hollywood-cynicism-almost-ruined-toy-story-and-pixar/</ref>

In ''Toy Story 2'', while Andy is away at summer camp, Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector and is tempted by the idea of being immortalized in a museum, only to be rescued by his friends and reminded of a toy's true purpose: for a child to play with it. Once again, the film positively portrays teamwork and family unity using a metaphor of unity between toys and their owners.

''Toy Story 3'' sees a nearly-grown Andy ready to leave for college and leave most of his toys except Woody in a garbage bag to be stored in his attic, but his mother mistakes it for a bag of real trash. Woody follows the toys as they make their way to a dreadful daycare center, unable to convince them of the misunderstanding. Nihilism and totalitarianism are portrayed in a strongly negative light in the form of Lotso the jealous teddy bear, who denounces all toys as being "destined for the scrapheap" and acts as a brutal dictator over the daycare toys.

''Toy Story 4'', the final movie in the series, shows Woody taking on a guardian role for Bonnie's newly-made toy, Forky. When Forky gets lost, Woody finds him and tries to take him back home, but they end up at a carnival. There, Woody reunites with his lost love Bo Beep (who had been absent from the third movie and had run away) and has to make a choice: stay with Bo Peep at the carnival, or stick with his friends and Bonnie. Like with the other three films, this film shows family, friendship, and teamwork in a positive light.

|''Up''
|2009
|PG
|This tear-jerking, pro-family Pixar animation stars Carl Fredricksen, an elderly widower balloon salesman who is about to be forced off his land but refuses to sell his house (likely promoting individualism triumphing over a liberal collectivist government). Carl ties thousands of balloons to his house and sets off on the South American vacation that he promised his wife Ellie while she was still alive, showing the inherent sacredness of marriage and how it should be continuously honored even after a spouse dies. In the end, he adopts young Russell, a fatherless Wilderness Explorer (a spoof of the Boy Scouts) who joins him on his adventure, as his surrogate grandson, which celebrates family unity. The film takes a light jab at divorce, too, as it is implied that Russell's parents no longer live together, leaving the boy heartbroken until Carl adopts him. Lastly, an overarching theme of the film states that a person is never too old or too young to follow his or her dreams.

|''Wreck-It Ralph''
|2012
|PG
|Ralph, a villain from a retro, 1980s-esque video game who wants to escape after being typecast for about 30 years as the poor and medal-less guy, is encouraged to use his equal opportunities to do better and pursue his own successes. This is the basis of the American Dream: the goal of overcoming one's present, lowly circumstances to achieve a state of greatness. Trying to achieving this goal by theft is shown as the wrong way to do so. In addition, the main antagonist is a competition-hating villain who has deceitfully hidden his true identity and origin, who has pushed liberal values in the video game where he rules and established what looks like a fixed economy because only he can win. The film also pushes anti-illegal immigrant messages as well, with the main villain and minor villains trying to take over other worlds.

It promotes the American Dream, individuality, racial equality, and subtle Christian values such as forgiveness and reconciliation, as well as responsible capitalism. Despite having a brief appearance by a homosexual couple, they're only very, ''very'' minor characters, and the movie largely downplays their sinful beliefs about their sexuality. It won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature of 2016.

Also takes down the various liberal critiques that occurred. Aside from the obvious condemnations against Clinton and his followers, it also has a brief criticism of Obama for repeating several falsehoods about how they stopped the terrorists responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center attack (in particular, claiming they just arrested the terrorists and treated them to a court of law like any other criminal).

|[[Dinesh D'Souza]] exposes the truth about the fascism of [[Benito Mussolini]] and [[Adolf Hitler]], as well as their direct connection to the Democrat Party. It also makes clear the racism that motivated the latter had direct roots to the Progressive movement of the United States and by extension, the Democrat Party, and that the conventional wisdom of Fascism was of the right-wing of politics was one of the left's biggest lies and that fascism if anything was of the left. On a similar note, it also makes clear the connection between Mussolini's fascism and Marxism, and also indicates that the issue of slavery was another form of socialism. Also makes clear that the white supremacist founder of the alt-Right [[Richard Spencer]] and the Charlottesville Rally organizer [[Jason Kessler]] had in fact been left-wingers posing as right-wingers. Similarly it also makes clear that Antifa and George Soros, despite claiming they were "anti-Fascist", were in fact fascists (also exposing the latter's role in the confiscation of objects held by his neighbors by the Nazis). As implied by the title, it also compares the turbulent times that was orchestrated by the left after Donald Trump was elected to the events of the Civil War under Lincoln.

|On the one hand, the strong and courageous U.S. President James Marshall (Harrison Ford), a military veteran, takes an uncompromising stance against Russian terrorists who hijack his airplane. The major themes include family, authority, respect for the military, and sacrifice for the greater good. On the other hand, however, the script-writer for the film has admitted that he made the film largely to promote then-president [[Bill Clinton]].<ref>https://www.salon.com/july97/entertainment/movieair970725.html "But Bill Clinton is the first president to spawn movies that feature fictional presidents functioning as his stand-ins, movies made by directors fighting to define, and redefine, his image.....Air Force One" is a fantasy of what it might take for President Clinton to become all things to all people. The movie's Clinton stand-in, President James Marshall (Harrison Ford, appropriately displaying the facial mobility of Mount Rushmore), is a leader who defies his timid advisors in his efforts to set policies against injustice and tyranny and is willing to take on Congress to enforce those policies. But this is a fantasy designed to silence Clinton's conservative critics, so not only is Jim Marshall a dedicated family man, but he's a Vietnam War hero to boot. There's a combo you can't beat, a guy who knows how to kill a Commie and keep his pecker in his pocket."</ref> In addition, Bill Clinton also had a direct role in the casting of at least one of the characters, as Glenn Close had reluctantly played the role of the movie's Vice President at the latter's request.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20060319090508/http://vikingphoenix.com/news/archives/1997/hdot9702.htm/</ref>

|''Aladdin''
|1992
|G
|Based on the classic Arabian folk tale ''Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'', a poor but charitable thief is sent by Jafar, a sinister vizier to a sultan, to search for a mysterious oil lamp rumored to contain unbelievably powerful magic. Upon finding this, he accidentally releases the comical genie inside, who grants his wish to become a prince so he can legally court Jasmine, the sultan's daughter. On the one hand, the film is set within what is implied to be a Muslim state, and Aladdin does resort to lying to try and marry Jasmine. A slight feminist bent is present because Jasmine refuses to marry, ignoring the law requiring it (although not nearly to the same extent as with Belle and ''Beauty and the Beast''.). In addition, some lyrics to the opening song were notably cut due to fears of offending the Muslim populace, implying the film is politically correct in nature. The Sultan is shown to be a massive bumbler and overgrown child, which may hint at an anti-parenthood agenda. But on the other hand, the film does ultimately push character integrity because Aladdin ultimately decides against lying and tells Jasmine the truth about himself. Disregarding the film's politically correct treatment of Islam, it ultimately showcases some more negative elements of Islamic culture via a vendor nearly chopping Jasmine's hand off when she "steals" some food to feed a starving child, as well as depicting Prince Achmed in a very negative light via his cruelty to Aladdin and children attempting to stop him. The prince is implied to be a poor example of a husband, so it is subtly implied that Jasmine refused to marry because all the princes she encountered had in fact been as bad as Achmed. She then falls for Aladdin because he saves her life and shows kindness to her. In addition, it is made clear that while Aladdin does steal and initially had an infamous reputation for his thefts, it's solely in order to survive on the streets, with it being heavily implied that he was an orphan, and he also selflessly gives his stolen food to starving children after initially planning to eat it. There is a lesser condemnation against the occult as the only explicit magic-user besides Aladdin's Genie is Jafar, the main villain who dreams of becoming the world's most powerful dark sorcerer.

The theft of the crystal to become rich could be seen as a condemnation of capitalism. That being said, however, capitalism has also been promoted in a more positive light in the form of Preston B. Whitmore, an eccentric but ultimately good-hearted billionaire who funded the expedition in the first place, and in addition, most of the principal cast was shown to have dreams of getting a better lot in society, with it being heavily implied in the ending that they ultimately succeeded in achieving those dreams after selflessly trying to save Atlantis, which acts as an implicit promotion of both capitalism and the American Dream.

|''Austin Powers'' franchise
|1997, 1999, 2002
|PG-13
|A series of films that parodied spy films such as the [[James Bond]] franchise. On the one hand, liberal values are promoted such as Austin Power's promiscuous swinger nature being promoted as a positive, as well as usage of scatological humor throughout. In addition, one of the villains, Frau Farbissina, is mentioned to have been a founder of the militant faction of the Christian organization [[The Salvation Army]]. The first film also downplays the Cold War and the death of Communism by mentioning that the 1980s were among the "unimportant decades" in Austin Power's crash course. On the other hand, it does promote some chivalrous aspects, as Austin in the first film made it very clear to Vanessa Kinsington, the daughter of his former partner that not even he was willing to have sex with a woman who had too much to drink, and there is an implicit promotion of [[Gay Conversion Therapy]], as Farbissina was established as a lesbian in the second movie, yet after sleeping with Dr. Evil (a parody of [[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]], in particular the version from ''[[You Only Live Twice (film, 1967)|You Only Live Twice]]'' portrayed by Donald Pleasance.) in the past, she ended up becoming pregnant (with Scott Evil, Dr. Evil's son, being the byproduct of the affair), and it is implied afterward as well as in the third movie ''Goldmember'' that she became straight afterward and genuinely loved Dr. Evil, enjoying a kiss that with him that was otherwise meant to slip a key to him to aid in his escape. Family values are also given a slight promotion, as Farbissina defended Scott Evil from Dr. Evil's otherwise abusive actions to him, and part of the third movie involved Scott and Dr. Evil growing closer to their relationship, and it is also revealed that Dr. Evil was in fact Austin's brother, leading to some redemption for the latter, and the third movie makes clear that some of Austin's problems were the result of his father Nigel being a neglectful father. The second movie also has an anti-body positive message as well with Fat [censored].

|1985
|PG
|Musically gifted but slacking highschooler Marty McFly is invited by his energetic, quirky scientist friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown to witness the birth of his greatest invention: a time-traveling DeLorean automobile. After Doc Brown is shot and killed by Libyan terrorists, whom he tricked to gain plutonium fuel needed to make his car travel through time, Marty escapes in the DeLorean and travels 30 years into the past, where he meets his parents as teenagers and accidentally becomes his mother Lorraine's new love interest. He then meets with the young Doc Brown, who volunteers to help him return to 1985 and warns him that he will cease to exist if he does not ensure that his parents fall in love at their high school prom. Marty ultimately succeeds in reuniting his future parents by encouraging his teenage father George to stand up to bully Biff Tannen in Lorraine's honor. In the process, he saves Doc Brown by sending him a note warning of the terrorist attack. Overall, the movie contains some conservative messages such as the triumph of chivalry, the evils of terrorism, and the negative effects of deviancy and drug/alcohol addiction. At the same time, it promotes premarital sexual activity and disregard for chastity. Included two sequels in 1989 and 1990.

Environmental and anti-hunting messages are pushed (although it should be noted that the main antagonist, "Man", is technically closer to a poacher than a true hunter due to his killing a nursing doe and also trying to kill Bambi, a fawn, both of which are strictly prohibited by hunters), but it is also pro-family due to Bambi's mother giving her life to save her son, and the Great Forest Prince, who is heavily implied to be Bambi's father, went out of his way to protect Bambi from the hunter three times, even rescuing his son from a forest fire. It also was anti-homosexual agenda and way ahead of its time in refuting claims of [[animal homosexuality]], as the character Flower, a skunk, is depicted in childhood as a very effeminate male, yet when he became an adult, he evidently was aroused by a female skunk and ultimately became a father as well.

|September 25, 2012 (Part 1) January 29, 2013 (Part 2) October 8, 2013 (Deluxe Edition)
|PG-13
|An animated two-part adaptation of Frank Millar's comic book Elseworld story of the same name where Batman is forced to resume his duties after crime reached record highs in Gotham. The movie is anti-Crime, and also depicts homosexuality and sexual deviancy in a very negative light, including making a connection between homosexuality and Nazis via a transgendered Nazi criminal, and the Joker is portrayed in a similar manner to Paul Lynde. It also mocks to a certain degree anti-war politicians, as the mayor (a likely democrat) attempts to negotiate with the Mutant leader in jail to get him to call off the Mutants' war on Gotham only to have his throat torn out, with his vice-mayor repeating the same concessions. On the same note, it also showcases the negatives of pseudo-sciences as a psychologist was depicted as being a quack who ended up making Two-Face's insanity even worse despite repairing his face, and was ultimately responsible for letting the Joker escape Arkham Asylum due to the latter faking being cured. That all being said, however, it does feature some anti-Reagan messaging, and also condemns the military due to Joker trying to instigate a nuclear war between America and the Soviets, and America striking first as a result, and it was also revealed that a military general had provided the mutant gang with enough military arms to start a small war.

|''Beauty and the Beast''
|1991
|G
|A young woman overcomes a shallow society and finds true love. Although by comparison a powerful and immensely popular antidote to [[feminism]] to the [[liberal]] movies churned out by [[Disney]] since, as well as overall promoting redemption (as seen with the Beast's transformation), and also promoting some family values (such as Belle being loyal to her father), there were a few hints at feminist propaganda at the beginning of the film, such as Belle being different from the villagers because she can read, which is implied to not be supported by the villagers at all (feminist propaganda often falsely claims that women couldn't get an education until the 1960s), as well as Belle being unwilling to hold the role of housewife for Gaston or raising children, and later her blaming the titular Beast for her fleeing the castle despite most of the events leading up to and after that event being largely her fault (specifically, her deliberate disobedience towards Beast and the servants by going into the West Wing as soon as she found out where it was located) and the story framing that as being a good thing she did. On a related note, a scene that had Belle baking a cake for her father when he got home ended up cut at the order of Linda Woolverton, with her reason specifically being because "a liberated woman [like Belle] wouldn't know how to bake," essentially implying that baking would have been the activity of non-liberated women, a typical statement by feminists.<ref name="Woolverton and Belle">https://www.mouseplanet.com/8500/Linda_Woolverton_and_Belle</ref><ref>https://www.yahoo.com/news/belle-beauty-beast-became-disneys-155053182.html</ref> In addition, the opening song and the reprise has Belle having a similar "smarter-than-thou" personality that is all too common among liberals, having her refer to the villagers derogatorily as "little people" in the beginning of the opening song, repeatedly stressing the "provincial" elements of the village when expressing her desire to leave the village, complaining about Gaston due to considering him "boorish and brainless" shortly after his failed proposal, and also dismissing the villagers as "they" when mentioning her goals ("I want so much more than what ''they've'' got planned"). On that note, due to Beast being unwilling to even defend himself, let alone the castle servants, when the mob arrived to kill him until Belle had arrived at the last second, which had been the result of Belle's attempts at civilizing Beast, it gives the implication that the ideal male in the film is not allowed to get angry or act violently even in self-defense unless a woman was physically present. Then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg also mentioned that he wanted "a feminist twist" on the original fairy tale by creating a heroine who is "a departure from typical Disney female characters",<ref>http://articles.mcall.com/1991-11-22/features/2825583_1_beast-s-castle-fairy-tale-madame-gabrielle</ref> which had partly been done in response to negative criticisms towards Ariel in the previous movie by liberal critics,<ref name="Woolverton and Belle" /> and the feminist writer [[Linda Woolverton]] made clear that she made Belle a feminist and based her on the women's liberation movement from the 1970s in order to avoid creating another insipid princess.<ref name="Beauty and Maleficent">{{Cite web|url = http://time.com/2798136/maleficent-beauty-beast-writer/|title = The Same Woman Wrote Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast—Here’s How They’re Linked|date = May 30, 2014|accessdate = January 16, 2014|website = Time|publisher = |last = Rothman|first = Lily}}</ref><ref>http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/26/linda-woolverton-alice-belle-disney-heroines?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter</ref><ref>https://www.bustle.com/articles/163686-the-one-thing-beauty-and-the-beast-fans-probably-dont-know-about-the-creation-of-belle</ref><ref>http://www.mouseplanet.com/8500/Linda_Woolverton_and_Belle</ref><ref>http://articles.latimes.com/1992-01-19/entertainment/ca-544_1_disney-film</ref> On that note, this made it the first ''Disney'' animated adaptation of a fairy tale to radically alter the story specifically to promote a left-wing socio-political agenda onto the audience regardless of whether such was actually appropriate for the audience or an actual good message (as prior Disney films generally made alterations specifically to tone down anything that was otherwise inappropriate for the age group for the audience). Gaston is a conservative and hardworking hunter who is considered by the villagers to be their town hero, but is shown to be the main villain of the movie (it should also be noted that in the original screenplay for the film, Gaston was intended to be a Marquess [French nobleman], meaning the decision to make him a conservative and hardworking hunter was made after a rewrite). In addition, although not to the same degree as other Disney films that came after it, the film also has a slight anti-Christian bent, as the villagers (strongly implied by various verses in the opening song and the mob song, as well as a failed wedding, to be practicing and devout Christians) were later briefly seen supporting a plan that went against God's teachings, as well as overall depicted as being idiots, while Belle, the character framed as an intellectual and a moral figure, is not even seen or even implied to believe in God at all. In addition, Belle's love for Beast (where it is implied that she was largely unaware of the Beast being formerly a human prince) could be seen as promoting bestiality. Also, it is the first Disney movie to neither show nor hint at the two love interests getting married, and in fact, the only "wedding" in the film was the one Belle ruined, creating negative implications about marriage as a result, as well as starting a string of movies that don't paint marriage in a positive light. Similarly, the only three females in the film who are implicitly supportive of marriage and Christianity are demeaned, depicted as dumb blondes with the script and credits explicitly referring to them derogatorily as "the bimbettes." There was also a slight anti-hunting and anti-second amendment sentiment in the film, due to the main villain, as aforementioned, explicitly being labelled as a hunter, as well as Gaston's villainous nature being first highlighted in his debut scene where he shot a duck out of the sky. According to Don Hahn, there were also several overtones of a pro-homosexual agenda within the film, including choice lyrics of the mob song late into the film, largely because of the executive producer, Howard Ashman, being homosexual and dying from AIDS at the time the film was made and wanting to push the idea of being "ostracized" for his suffering from AIDS.<ref>https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/03/beauty-and-the-beast-gay-lefou-howard-ashman</ref><ref>https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/16583/don-Hahn-interview-beauty-and-the-beast-howard-Ashman-the-lion-king-south-park-and-frankenweenie</ref> Similarly, during the battle in the castle, there was a brief instance of transgenderism that was treated as a joke where the wardrobe proceeded to dress one of the male villagers in a Hawaiian outfit. One of the protagonistic characters, Lumiere, is briefly seen making out with a featherduster and was implied that the two weren't married, with some hints at Lumiere being an unrepentant womanizer (with the implication being further increased in the Special Edition-exclusive song "Human Again" where Lumiere mentioned he had a "mademoiselle in each arm", would be "courting again, chic and sporting again", and Mrs. Potts interjecting "Which should cause several husbands alarm." with Lumiere laughing at this, heavily implying that Lumiere was an adulterer to married women). In addition, Maurice is depicted as slightly addled and eccentric, as well as being naïve (such as thinking Gaston was a good match for Belle despite the story making clear he wasn't), and while he does try to go out of his way to save Belle in the midway point of the film, he ultimately needs saving twice and is unable to save Belle at all, which makes it debatable as to just how pro-family the narrative actually was. In addition, some elements of the film were later reused in the [[Essay:Worst Liberal Movies#Social|definitely liberal]] ''Maleficent'' movie.<ref name="Beauty and Maleficent" />

|''Beauty and the Beast'' (2017 remake)
|2017
|PG
|On the one hand, the 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' is the latest in the film trend of needlessly and shamelessly remaking animated films or children's stories for the sake of earning quick revenue in the dying Hollywood studio system. Liberals also seized the opportunity with the remake to exploit diversity within the ''Beauty and the Beast'' universe. The final result of the diversity inclusion is that it feels self-congratulatory in the sense of putting it in for the sake of having it, rather than having it be just a part of the story and the film. One notable example is the filmmakers' decision to make LeFou, Gaston's diminutive and bumbling sidekick, a homosexual who is conflicted with his feelings for Gaston (although it should be noted that in the actual script, it never specifies that LeFou was homosexual.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/03/03/josh-gad-lefou-beauty-and-the-beast/98679284/</ref>). At the end of the film, LeFou is shown taking a romantic interest in a musketeer who is now a transgender woman after being transformed into one during Gaston's siege of the Beast's castle (who, unlike the original film, actually enjoys it). Not only is it an atrocious artistic decision of the filmmakers to needlessly incorporate diversity simply for the sake of it, but the 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' also serves as an example that liberals can legitimately shoehorn the [[homosexual agenda]] into Disney films. Adding salt to the wound, the filmmakers also further changed history to suit their feminist agenda, similar to previous Disney films like ''Mulan'' (1998), ''Pocahontas'' (1995) and ''The Princess and the Frog'' (2009) (most infamously, the villagers are shown to be explicitly intolerant of Belle learning how to read and teaching girls to do the same, smashing her washing machine in the process, despite the fact that the namesake for the village in this film, Mdm. Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, the original author for the fairy tale, was herself a woman). The 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' is now even more of a feminist propaganda film than the 1991 animated film version ever was. There were also hints at an anti-war message due to Gaston being turned into a war veteran, in addition to the implied anti-hunting messages from the original film via his profession (which if anything was expanded on by their hinting at Gaston being evil in the Gaston song when he, in reference to LeFou's question about whether shooting his prey from behind was "fair", states he didn't care if it was, even though killing prey when they least expect it is the entire point behind hunting, which was based on a deleted lyric from one of the earlier drafts of what would become the 1991 film.).

All of that, along with the other shortcomings of the film, reinforces the statement that most of Hollywood is currently out of ideas for motion pictures. It also re-establishes the fact that Disney would, at times, forsake genuine family entertainment in favor of blatant liberal propaganda.

On the other hand, there were also several surprisingly Conservative messages in the film, significantly more than in the 1991 version. Namely, Christianity is treated in a far more positive light in this film than in the 1991 version as one of the few friends Belle has in this version is the village Chaplain named Pere Robert who is shown to be sympathetic to her bibliophilic nature and also attempts to prevent Maurice from being sent to the Asylum, and later is shown to be horrified at the formation of the mob against the Beast (it is to be noted that in the original 1991 film, the character in question was merely a bookseller, not a priest, and most of the villagers, implied to be devout Christians, were demonized in the film), which was also surprisingly accurate to history despite the aforementioned changing of history in the film (in real history, Christianity, especially the Catholic Church, actively encouraged literacy, writing, and arithmetic among both genders, with girls being taught in convents or at the home.). In addition, Maurice actually is shown to be more proactive in this film, such as directly refusing Gaston's attempt at marrying Belle and even attempting to expose Gaston as an attempted murderer and psychopath, and also plays a direct role in saving Belle and himself from the paddywagon after she exposes Beast to the villagers (in the original film, although he does set out to try and find Belle and save her after trying to get the villagers to help failed, he ultimately required saving by her due to catching an illness during his trek, and ultimately needed saving alongside Belle via Chip). In addition, Lumiere as well as the featherduster (named Plumette in this version) are shown to be an actual loving couple (in the original film, it is heavily implied that Lumiere was a frequent womanizer and that the featherduster was also sexually loose), and the remake also doesn't demonize traditional marriage nearly as much as in the 1991 version (notably, the remake cut out Gaston's wedding proposal as well as Belle shoving Gaston into mud in front of attendees). The forgiveness and redemption theme was also significantly more emphasized in the remake, due to Beast ultimately forgiving Maurice after learning why he had tried to steal the rose and even allowing Belle to save Maurice specifically to make up for his past behavior, with Maurice also forgiving Beast upon Belle showing him the baby rattle (originally, Maurice was a bit more hesitant to forgive the Beast). It is also shown to be significantly more pro-family as well, as not only is Belle shown to be loyal to her father like in the 1991 original, but as noted above, Maurice himself took measures to protect Belle and notably agreed with Belle that Gaston would not have worked out for her (originally, Maurice also thought Gaston was alright for her), and he also was shown to be very protective of Belle after his wife had died from the plague, with Belle's mom specifically sacrificing herself by telling them to leave her behind to allow Belle a healthy life. In addition, the triplets (renamed to "Village Lasses") in the remake were depicted as having haughtiness, arrogance, being jealous of Belle, as well as overall being nasty people, including briefly smirking at Belle when she was locked up in the paddywagon as well as being actively involved in the arrest of Maurice as well as the later attack on Beast's castle (in the original film, the triplets were not shown to have any negative behavior to them besides their crushing on Gaston [not participating in the later arrest of Maurice, let alone the attack on Beast's castle shortly afterward during the climax, and also implying at one point that they were willing to give their blessing to Gaston marrying Belle when Belle refused him in the beginning of the film, and while they were present during the final lyrics for the Gaston reprise where Gaston explicitly divulged key details for his blackmail plan, the way it was framed could easily be interpreted as the triplets genuinely not knowing about the plan due to their absence from Maurice's arrival up to the scene where Gaston whispers the plan to LeFou.], and it is also heavily implied that they supported traditional marriage and were demeaned in the film by being referred to in the script as The Bimbettes and treated as dumb blondes for this reason). In addition, according to the film's director Bill Condon as well as one of the triplets' actresses, Rafaelle Cohen, the reason the triplets were intensely jealous and spiteful of Belle was because their mother neglected them while doting on Belle, showcasing the dangers of parental neglect. In addition, at least regarding Maurice, the villagers' actions to him were toned down, where their arresting him was simply due to their being tricked by Gaston into thinking he was a dangerous madman and not out of malicious intent (in the original film, it is heavily implied via the Gaston reprise that most, if not all of the villagers were in fact fully aware that Gaston knew, as did themselves, that Maurice was not actually dangerous and that Gaston was having him arrested specifically to blackmail Belle into marrying him and gave full support to the plan.).

However, a significant portion of the film has Beowulf doing anti-Christian things, including mating with Grendel's mother over killing her (a stark contrast with the original tale where he does in fact kill her), and also implies that the dragon that ultimately killed him in the original tale was the result of his sleeping with her (when originally, the dragon had no relation at all to Grendel, his mom, or Beowulf).

The film likewise was also deliberately named after D.W. Griffith's film of the same name in a form of irony due to it pushing the opposite message. However, there is a line at the end of the movie downplaying the deaths of the white slave owners compared to the black slaves, something done by the Hollywood elites and unfortunate because all people are equally valuable.

|''Bohemian Rhapsody''
|2018
|PG-13
|A biopic of [[Freddie Mercury]], the lead singer of the band Queen. While it does show elements of the practice of homosexuality and hedonism, at the same time, the film largely condemned the practice since it was made clear that Mercury's embracing of these things was what ultimately ruined Queen and his personal relationships, and is what ultimately killed him via AIDS. In addition, Paul Prenter, the only other major character to embrace homosexuality in the movie, was depicted in a very negative light, as he was one of the reasons Mercury went down a bad path, with it being made clear later on that Paul largely was using Mercury for his own gratification, blamed others for his bad ideas, and even hid vital information from Mercury deliberately such as the Live Aid concert plans as well as Mary Austin calling him. It also had a promotion of redemption, as Mercury, inspired largely by his former girlfriend/wife, Mary Austin nearing the end of the film, attempts to reconnect with his band and family and make amends in the time he had left before dying from AIDS. That all being said, however, it's debatable whether the film intended to paint his homosexual escapades in a negative light, as several members of the production company, including Freddie Mercury's actor Rami Malek, indicated that it was a "regrettable" decision as a result of not having enough time to give a "more balanced" view of (ie, promoting) his bisexual lifestyle.

Although technically a message against totalitarianism and for individualism, Leftist actor Donald Sutherland, who played President Snow, implied that the struggles of the films' protagonists were supposed to be derived from the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the book's author also indicated that the events of the book were based on the George W.

It also has some condemnation towards divorce, as evidenced by David Levinson and Constance Spano's divorce is treated in a negative light, and also is pro-family due to Russell Casse sacrificing himself during battle to save his family.

|''The Iron Giant''
|1999
|PG
|This animation espouses anti-war themes and also brief but strong anti-hunting sentiments. Firearms in general are shown in a negative light, with the phrase "guns kill" being repeated a total of three times (which was considered a "positive message" by the ultra-liberal media watchdog group [[Common Sense Media]]). The titular giant is referred to as a "big gun that walks." From a conservative viewpoint, he is a poor metaphor for a real gun; unlike a law-abiding citizen who is a gun owner, the giant has no choice in his actions because he is a war machine programmed with the inability to use his weapons for good, but only to use them thoughtlessly and senselessly. The story involves him learning to hide his weapons and "not be a gun". The conclusion is that, in order to protect the public from an incoming missile, he must fly into it and kill himself rather than use his guns against it. As it is explained, "It's bad to kill, but it isn't bad to die." In addition, despite being set during the Cold War, it largely downplays the Soviet menace that was occurring during that time, as the main antagonist, Kent Mansley, is a government agent (implied to be part of the NSA) investigating the titular Iron Giant who at one point while launching a tirade against Hogarth Hughes alludes to the possibility that the Communists may have been responsible for the Giant's creation as a means to destroy America and that they must destroy it before "it destroys us" and is treated negatively for it. Also features some foul language.

That all being said, however, despite the definite anti-gun and anti-hunting themes, the film does portray the military in a fairly positive light, as General Rogarth was shown to be even-headed and only willing to use military force if confronted with evidence requiring for it, also making clear that he was not happy about bringing out an implied large military force for what was apparently a hoax, and while the military does try to attack the Iron Giant late into the film, it was only because they had been manipulated into doing so by Kent Mansley by the latter lying about the giant killing Hogarth Hughes, and only when confronted with evidence that Hogarth had in fact been alive did the military stand down. In addition, when Hogarth left to investigate the evidence of a "martian" taking out an antenna, he proceeded to salute a photograph of his father, who was implied to have died during World War II. Also has a positive portrayal of the American icon Superman in it. There's also an anti-materialist message in it as well as an implicitly Christian message, as Hogarth talks to the Giant about how humans and other forms of life possess souls that live on even after their mortal bodies die. In addition the film also promotes individualism, promoting the idea of the individual choosing how to live their life, which may also support the American Dream as well, as Dean the film's tritagonist is a capitalistic artist.

|''[[Iron Man (film, 2008)|Iron Man]]''
|2008
|PG-13
|The first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Robert Downey, Jr., as comic book hero Tony Stark, an initially unsympathetic, billionaire weapons developer with hedonistic habits such as alcoholism, extramarital sex, gambling, and drug use. A theme of redemption then follows when, on a tour in the Middle East, Stark is almost mortally wounded by the evil Islamic terrorist group the Ten Rings, inspiring Stark to turn his life around and build weapons for just causes, not solely for making money. Though he considers giving up weapons development altogether, Stark decides to stand by his Second Amendment rights and builds his first electromechanical suit of armor to escape the Ten Rings upon realizing that his supposed friend Obadiah Stane has been issuing guns to the terrorists behind his back. Overall, ''Iron Man'' teaches that capitalism and the military can be used for good. That being said, the aforementioned revelation that Obadiah Stane had been issuing weapons to the Ten Rings as well as orchestrating Stark's abduction by them earlier could be interpreted as subtle anti-War on Terror messaging.

|''Joker''
|2019
|R
|''Joker'' is the highest grossing R rated film of all time, and for good reasons. This revolutionary psychological crime thriller is a revisionist origin of the Joker (born in this universe as Arthur Fleck, although he is traditionally never given a proper name), a fictional supervillain and the archenemy of DC Comics superhero Batman, and his decent into a life of crime. It is difficult to watch and should not be shown to children but has deep messages that no Hollywood film will come close to replicating. Arthur never gets the mental help he needed and is constantly humiliated by people such as talk show host Murray Franklin, loosely based on Johnny Carson. That said, ''Joker'' is one of the only modern films to directly attack the mainstream media, and how it is responsible for causing chaos (Murray is played by Robert De Niro, a staunch leftist). It correctly shows that mental illness, not guns, can cause people to go insane and shoot people. Early on, Arthur is fired by his boss for carrying a gun while working as a children's party clown even though he was given the gun as a means for self-defense due to being assaulted earlier, which contributes to his further fall into madness. ''Joker'' goes even further to say that mental illness is tied directly to the media when Arthur directly confronts Murray on the set of his show, saying that he and the media only cause division and anger and that "It's enough to make anyone crazy!" Most liberal critics attacked ''Joker'', claiming it would cause people to commit mass shootings. This is expected since the film directly attacks the media, so the media is scared of people seeing ''Joker'' since it will expose their true intentions. However, some rioters who support Arthur in the film riot against the rich, and one of them slays Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne, the wealthy parents of Bruce (the future Batman) near the end of the film; in contrast to traditional Batman stories, the Waynes are shown in a very negative light since Joker is a villain origin story. Interestingly enough, Arthur himself says that his actions are non-political: he only wants people to be civil and to get along with each other. The Joker is also nihilist, showing how nihilism is a very dangerous ideology. Furthermore, ''Joker'' depicts parental abuse and parental neglect in a very negative light. Arthur's mother Penny abused him throughout his childhood and claims Thomas Wayne is Arthur's father, who never helped raise him. Along with the media, she causes Arthur to descend into madness. It also attacks political correctness to a certain extent, as the director of the film made it clear he made the film partly in response to how comedy has been ruined by SJWs and political correctness.

|A story set in the Crusades period about a young knight who embarks on a journey to realize his destiny. The Director's Cut version of ''Kingdom of Heaven'' is a prime example of how a Director's Cut can significantly improve the entire film. While the theatrical version featured terrible screenwriting and directing (as a result of studio interference), the Director's Cut drastically changes the entire film, significantly fleshes out, ties together, and grounds the story and brings the characters, their motivations, the different themes at play and the world to life. While the theatrical version was seen more or less as pure liberal media, the Director's Cut presents a story about humanity, belief, faith, and God. It also makes a statement about how people of different religious faiths can live together in peace and harmony and also be respectful of different religious beliefs. In addition, it promotes honor, duty, and the importance of doing the right thing, and it also portrays the noble Knights Hospitallers in a positive light. That being said, the film still portrays the Knights Templars in a negative light.

|R
|This fantastic film from (albeit, very liberal) director Quentin Tarantino, set in 1969 Los Angeles, is a love letter to the older and more conservative film industry. It portrays the main character's alcoholism as the main thing holding him back in his later years. It also shows that hard work always pays off in how successful the main character's career was. In addition to all this, the film's villains, real-life cult leader/criminal [[Charles Manson]] (who masterminded the Tate-LaBianca murders) and his "Family" (who carried out the murders), are [[hippie]]s. The movie shows hippies as they really are - brain-damaged from drug use and really gross in both appearance and personal habits - and it makes no attempt to humanize them. Despite all of this, it does contain historic revisionism, graphic violence (a hallmark of Tarantino movies), and gratuitous drug use (the latter of which is played for laughs and shown as fun and consequence-free, contrary to real life). This was the first film to be made by Tarantino after he broke ties with Bob and [[Harvey Weinstein]] following the latter's convictions for sexual assault, and was also the last film to feature actor Luke Perry prior to his death from a stroke in March 2019.

It's also debatable as to whether it promotes feminism, as aside from Charlotte LeBoeuf being depicted in a positive light overall as noted above, it implies at one point that Tiana achieving her dreams of being a CEO is ultimately a negative due to the main villain Dr. Facilier using that to tempt her into aiding him.

On the other hand, it also encourages at one point allowing children to act like children, and ultimately promotes Recess and Summer Vacation as a concept, and the main villain, Phillium Benedict, is a radical former head of the liberal Department of Education who wished to eliminate recess and later summer vacation to raise test scores with the implication of wanting to become President (who was fired largely because he proved to be too extreme even for that department), and also represents [[liberal values]].

|Loosely based on a 1990 fairytale picture book by William Steig, the first feature-length computer animation by DreamWorks SKG stars Shrek, a socially challenged ogre who becomes an unlikely hero when he forms an alliance with a pesky, talking donkey to rescue a princess at the behest of the evil Lord Farquaad of Duloc, who hates fairytale-type beings and has forced a host of them to live in Shrek's swamp. Not long after they rescue Princess Fiona, Donkey learns that she was cursed as a child to transform into an ogre herself by night and that only marriage can break the curse. Shrek does not hear this message clearly at first and thinks Fiona is calling him an "ugly beast" before he realizes she actually despises her own ogre form and stops her marriage to Farquaad, preventing him from becoming a tyrannical king and continuing to oppress fairytale beings. Although DreamWorks is liberal, the dialogue occasionally resorts to adult humor (such as Shrek and Donkey cracking jokes at Farquaad's expense that implied that he had small gonads when explaining what he's like), and Fiona sometimes behaves like a feminist (as when she effortlessly uses martial arts against Robin Hood and his Merry Men), it is implied that most of the characters are Christians as the gingerbread man says "God Bless Us Everyone" (a reference to the character Tiny Tim in ''A Christmas Carol''). The gospel song "I'm a Believer" at the end of the feature, and the scene where Shrek and Fiona are silently upset about being separated has the version of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Robin Hood is a secondary antagonist, but he is at least implied to be based on the infamous revisionist version by [[Joseph Ritson]] that was made in solidarity to the [[Jacobin]]s during the French Revolution). Lord Farquaad, intended to be based on Liberal [[Disney]] CEO [[Michael Eisner]]<ref>http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2001-04-06/features/0104060008_1_lord-farquaad-dreamworks-jeffrey-Katzenberg</ref> (which adds to the whole film's existence as a reverent parody of Disney fairytale animation conventions), is likewise a lampoon of materialism because he only desires Fiona's marriage so he can officially become the King of Duloc. Finally, shortly after Farquaad meets his end at the jaws of Donkey's dragon love interest, Donkey jokes about [[Hollywood values]]: "Celebrity marriages, they never last, do they?"

|''Shrek 2''
|2004
|PG
|The sequel to the above film. On the one hand, aside from DreamWorks being liberal, there are some jokes that could be interpreted as promoting gender confusion (such as the revelation that Pinocchio was wearing women's underwear while he and the other fairy tale creatures save Shrek and Donkey from imprisonment). On the other hand, there is also an anti-racism message for the film, since Fiona's father, the king of Far Far Away, is initially distrusting of Shrek largely due to the latter's Ogre status, and eventually comes to accept him upon realizing Fiona does truly love him, even going as far as to save his son-in-law from Fairy Godmother at the end, and the main villain, Fairy Godmother, is explicitly racist against Shrek for his species, insisting that "Ogres do not get happy endings" repeatedly. Also like the prior movie, it has a more anti-materialist message, as Fairy Godmother as well as her son, Prince Charming, both only intended to use Fiona in order to gain control over Far Far Away, similar to Lord Farquaad in the preceding movie. It also has a redemption message in the form of Puss in Boots, who initially was hired to kill Shrek, but after Shrek spares him, he ultimately became a loyal ally to Shrek, even willingly holding off several soldiers to allow Shrek and Donkey (who at that time had been transfigured into a handsome man and a white stallion, respectively) enough time to stop Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother from having Fiona "wed" the former (due to thinking that Fiona ingested a brainwashing serum inside her tea that had been laced on Fairy Godmother's orders). Also has a degree of anti-feminist messaging due to Fairy Godmother clearly adhering to the feminist view on things.

|''[[The Simpsons]] Movie''
|2007
|PG-13
|Portrays the liberal [[Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] as a villainous and devious agency, and portrays the Government in general as intrusive and corrupt, and also features a key element of the story where Homer attempts to redeem himself of his more unpleasant nature, and Flanders' attempts at helping the Simpson family, in particular Bart, are treated positively. On the other hand, it also promotes [[environmentalism]] in the beginning, and also had Arnold Schwartzenegger as the president of the United States despite his legally not being eligible for the presidency due to being Austrian. There is also a brief sight gag where two homosexual policemen proceeded to make out in an alley by the motel the Simpson family was hiding at, with Marge narrowly escaping being spotted by them. In addition, the early part of the film has Homer twice making statements that implied a more atheistic outlook relating to Christianity: The first just as the Simpsons arrive at Church while running late where Homer mouths off "Relax, those pious morons are too busy talking to their phony-baloney God."; the second when Abraham Simpson ends up getting a divinely inspired vision about Springfield's potential future, where Homer, consulting the bible in a panic, yells "I can't! This book has no answers!" Overall, it's as debatable in terms of its Conservativism as the TV show it acted as a movie for.

Towards the end, it is revealed he took the scholarship away from someone who needed it as well (and is really black) because she has a son and is divorced at such a young age. The movie portrays the police as racist, and blames racism on many things, and seems to support the need for affirmative action. But on a conservative note, the film teaches the importance of hard work, and is also politically incorrect.

|''Starship Troopers''
|1997
|R
|Although it overall depicts the Military in a protagonistic light and arguably is pro-war and pro-military, the director of the film, Paul Verhoeven, implied it was actually supposed to push an anti-military, anti-war message where it implied that America during the Cold War were automatically fascists simply because they are entering war, and specifically stated it was "a natural evolution for post-World War II America." In addition, to reinforce Verhoeven's message, he deliberately modeled various scenes after ''Triumph of the Will'' and other pro-Nazi propaganda scenes, as well as modeled the protagonists' uniforms after the uniforms utilized by the Nazis (i.e., the character Carl, played by Neil Patrick Harris, wearing a uniform that was modeled after the [[SS]]). When asked by Michael Ironside, who was one of the people who had a role in the movie and had read the original book, about why he made the movie despite Verhoeven's leftist politics, he answered "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships, but it's only good for killing ******* bugs!" (note that fascism is not "right wing", it is left wing, so Verhoeven's incorrect regarding which wing the Nazis/fascists were part of).

|''Who Framed Roger Rabbit''
|1988
|PG (Should be PG-13)
|A loose live-action/animation adaptation on the book ''Who Censored Roger Rabbit?'' by Gary Wolf. On the one hand, the movie contains many innuendos and crude humor, the antagonist Judge Doom is a capitalist, and the relationship between a toon rabbit and a toon human may be seen as promoting bestiality. On the other hand, the movie depicts marital fidelity in a positive light, as initial signs of Jessica Rabbit's infidelity are in fact part of the antagonist's plot and in reality she actually cares very deeply about her husband (it should also be noted that in the book the film was based on, Jessica was extremely unfaithful to Roger Rabbit, and enjoyed being a porn star, even outright using Roger for stardom. Later additions to the story altered this characterization to be closer to the film and had the initial version be part of a nightmare Jessica had). The film also contains an anti-alcoholism message not present in the original novel in which Eddie Valiant becomes a heavy drinker after the death of his brother (in the original novel, Eddie was just a drinker and didn't have a brother) but eventually pours the alcohol out of the flask that he carries in his holster.

The film also has an anti-prejudice message done right. Prejudice against toons was used as an allegory for historic racism (the film is set in 1946, when systemic racism was actually still relevant). Eddie's prejudice against toons, however, was more personal: a toon killed his brother. Getting to know Roger and Jessica Rabbit is what changes his mind about toons and Roger helps him get his sense of humor back.

Their two difference lifestyles contradict with each other, and the film does not really pick a side of on whose lifestyle is better. However, it does have a scene where the liberal kids outsmart the conservative kids (By tricking them into thinking there is a fire and then getting to use the bathrooms to themselves). Also, has a scene where the kids work together and use conservative tactics to end bullying without the help of an authority figure. In the end, the kids learn to put their differences aside and realize that family is what matters more.

|Was another entry into then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner's infamous Direct to Video sequel line, and as such also has evidence of it being poorly made. But on the other hand, it also has similar themes to ''Return of Jafar'' regarding forgiveness and redemption in regards to the titular character. It also is notable as having a pro-traditional marriage message due to Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding factoring into a large part of the plotline, with it also being implied that the kingdom of Agrabah may have held Coptic Christianity as its main religion, one of the few Disney productions during this time to feature such a message on marriage since ''The Little Mermaid'' back in 1989. In addition, it ultimately is pro-fatherhood in the form of Cassim, the titular king of thieves, who was Aladdin's father, and while the central antagonist, he is nonetheless depicted in a more sympathetic light as he became the King of Thieves simply so he could provide for his family, and ultimately was redeemed in the ending of the film.

Also shows a promotion of the concept of being humble, as Taran still considers himself a pig herder even with his role in saving the world. However, the film was a massive box office bomb, with a large part of the reason for it being underperforming being due to both the dark elements of the film, especially for a Disney-made film, and due to a huge amount of footage (at least ten minutes worth) being cut from the film by then-Chairman of Disney Animation [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].

The spirits that his people worship are displeased and turn him into a bear, and he has to journey to a magic mountain to change back, bonding with a bear cub named Koda along the way. Family and friendship values are promoted in this movie in many years. One example is with Kenai and his brothers; they may argue and fool around, but they ultimately care for each other. Kenai also comes to care for the bear cub Koda, even willing to stay as a bear at the end of the movie to be with Koda. Even Rutt and Tuke - the comic-relief moose brothers - ultimately love each other, no matter how much they rattle each other's antlers. Revenge is rightly frowned upon, with Kenai's surviving brother Denahi warning him against killing the bear in revenge; when Kenai finds out later that the bear he killed was Koda's mother, he feels genuine remorse for his actions and soon after admits to Koda what he had done. Unfortunately, the movie is critically panned and was the fourth-to-last traditionally animated Disney film, though the movie (and to a lesser extent, its 2006 sequel) still has a place in the hearts of its audience.

|Loosely based on the Greco-Roman myth of the demigod strongman Hercules, this Disney animation has some Christian messages like honoring one's father and the triumph of good over evil. In addition, contrary to how he is depicted in regular mythology, Zeus's characterization in the film was closer to that of the Biblical God. Unlike the original myth, in which Hercules was born as a result of Zeus's infamous womanizing actions with mortal women and Hera hated him due to this, Hercules in this film is the actual offspring between Zeus and Hera, putting family values first. Plus, he is raised a mortal this time because the main villain, Hades, has his minions abduct the then-infant Hercules and feed him a potion that drains him of virtually all of his godly potential in order to assassinate him and prevent him from striking down Hades in the future. Another reason why family is a major theme is that Hercules' disappearance greatly devastates both Zeus and Hera, and Zeus, upon learning that Hercules was alive, is greatly overjoyed to learn of his son's survival and admits he is his father. Lastly, the main villain, Hades, while humorous, is nonetheless depicted in a satanic light, and was reported to be based on former Disney animation chairman and staunch liberal [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].<ref>http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970622&slug=2545749</ref> However, it underperformed in theaters and with critics.

Kate once again finds help from a charitable, sympathetic person (in this case, an NYPD officer), who helps her by bringing her to Rockefeller Center, where she finds Kevin.

They each have a similar story and themes to the original, with the third featuring Communist North Korea and terrorism in a negative light since the antagonists are internationally wanted hitmen tied to North Korea. However, they were nowhere near as popular as the first two because they are considered lesser versions of the originals.

|''How the Grinch Stole Christmas''
|2000
|PG
|A live-action remake of the animated TV adaptation of the [[Dr. Seuss]] book of the same name. Overall, the film promoted many of the same themes as in the special and book, and also expanded on the implied redemptive themes of the special by revealing that the Grinch's hatred of Christmas dealt with being bullied, and ultimately overcoming that past and learning to enjoy Christmas. That all being said, however, the film suffered from production problems where studio heads forced in some raunchy, age-inappropriate jokes into the storyline, in spite of both director Ron Howard and Jim Carrey's insistence that they keep the film family friendly (and in the case of the latter, was careful to keep any ad-libbed humor family friendly) that ultimately harmed the quality of the film. This, alongside the Worst Liberal Movie Live Action Adaptation of another [[Dr. Seuss]] story, ''The Cat in the Hat'', doubling down on many of the aforementioned raunchy elements and pushing more left-wing material, eventually resulted in the Seuss estate placing a ban on Live Action adaptations of various ''Dr. Seuss'' stories.

|''It Takes Two''
|1995
|PG
|Twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen star as two unrelated but identical-looking girls who try to get one's father and the other's social worker to fall in love. Though ''It Takes Two'' teaches how important it is for a family to have a mother and a father, it has been criticized for having too similar a story to ''The Parent Trap''.

|''Jack and Jill''
|2011
|PG
|Adam Sandler stars as both Jack and his "identical twin sister" Jill in this family comedy that features pro-capitalism and pro-family values. That aside, ''Jack and Jill'' is an aggressively poorly acted (apart from a strangely committed performance from Al Pacino), poorly written, poorly directed film with an appalling premise (the idea of a man having an "identical twin sister" is nightmarish at best) that received overwhelmingly negative reception from critics and audiences alike, who often called it the worst film of 2011. At the 32nd Golden Raspberry Award ceremony in 2012, ''Jack and Jill'' "won" in all twelve categories, even beating the liberal propaganda piece ''Battlefield Earth''.

|''The Land Before Time'' sequels
|1994-2016
|G
|The films deal with various conservative themes such as reconciliation, anti-racism, family values, friendships being important, and the like. That being said, however, the films' actual quality and their being direct to video sequels tend to leave much to be desired regarding the plotlines.

|2001
|G
|Lady and Tramp’s son, runs away to join the Junkyard dogs (a clear allegory for criminals), where he Angel, who encourages him to return home after realizing he has a family. Also the film takes place within the Independence Day holiday, making it what might be the only Disney film to acknowledge and celebrate this patriotic holiday. However this film like most Disney sequels went straight to video.

|''Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of ''Ga'Hoole''
|2010
|PG
|In a world where owls live in different kingdoms, young barn owl Soren grows up inspired by the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, knightly owls who perform noble deeds. One night, he and his brother Kludd are snatched away from home while practicing flying, taken to a facility that forces owlets to build a contraption for world domination for the Pure Ones. Escaping with an intelligent elf owl named Gylfie, Soren goes to find the Great Ga'Hoole tree (meeting friends like eccentric burrowing owl Digger and boisterous great gray owl Twilight) and warn its guardians of the danger awaiting their kingdom. Like the ''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' books the movie is based on, the movie shows friendship and a story of [[good and evil]] in a positive light, where the Guardians fight for the security and freedom of their home and the other owl kingdoms against the tyranny of the Pure Ones (which are barn owl supremacists). It also condemns abandoning family, for Kludd is easily won over to the Pure Ones side due to falling for the High Tyto Metal Beak's queen, Nyra, abandoning Soren to be forced to work alongside the other brainwashed owlets while he becomes a soldier in their army. Another case is Kludd going so far as to kidnap his baby sister and brainwash her for Metal Beak's cause, both shown in a horrible light. While the old veteran owl Ezylryb believes that war is harsh and ugly (the books reveal that it's because his wife was killed in the line of duty during the War of the Ice Claws), he is later shown to valiantly fight alongside his fellow Guardians in battle. However, the movie does suffer from rather weak storytelling.

|''Leonard Part 6''
|1987
|PG
|The villain is a militant vegan who plans to destroy the human race, but there are a number of confusing or outright silly plot points such as Bill Cosby's character Leonard Parker being tortured by lobsters, a henchman having his head blow up after eating a hot dog, and Cosby riding an ostrich like a horse, just to name a few. Even though he produced and wrote it, Bill Cosby has disowned the film and even begged people not to see it.

|''The Lion King''
|2019
|PG
|This photorealistic CGI remake of the 1994 film ''The Lion King'' - directed by the same director as 2016's ''The Jungle Book'' - contains the same messages as the original film, from faith and heroism to honoring one's father. Totalitarian rule is shown as negative in the form of Scar, who makes an alliance with the hyenas to take over the Pride Lands and overhunts alongside them (which is also a condemnation of poaching); this sets him up as an opposite to Mufasa when the latter earlier says, "While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give." Similarly, the movie expands upon the overhunting element from the original movie by revealing it had been done deliberately on Scar's orders, both to cull the numbers to ensure he remained on top as well as out of spite for Sarabi refusing to be his queen, showcasing even more blatantly the negatives of megalomania and such being etched into totalitarian ideologies such as Communism. Hakuna Matata is also a lot more nihilistic in this remake, Timon and Pumbaa explaining how life is a "meaningless line of indifference", until Simba finally manages to shake it off and take responsibility. That being said, the movie suffers from flaws like faces not being expressive enough to several important parts of the original being removed. A sequel is currently in the works.

|''The Lion King II: Simba's Pride''
|1998
|G
|In the sequel to the great conservative animation ''The Lion King'', protagonist Simba and his wife Nala are now raising a daughter of their own, Kiara, but Simba has exiled those lions in his pride who were loyal to his late evil uncle Scar, dubbing them "Outlanders". Tensions rise when Kiara falls in love with an Outlander. Although made during the infamous Michael Eisner era and was part of that era's direct to video sequel line, it also features the same pro-family and Christian messaging as in the original movie. Also features a condemnation against parental neglect/abuse and infanticide, as the main antagonist Zira frequently neglects one of the other antagonists, her eldest son Nuka (who is implied to be the actual male offspring for Scar unlike Kovu), and ultimately gets killed trying to win over her favor; and late in the film, when Vitani takes Kiara's words to heart and joins with the pride landers, Zira proceeds to threaten to kill her daughter in turn, which results in the remainder of the Outlanders proceeding to defect to the Pride Lands out of disgust towards the threat to her own daughter.

|''The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning''
|2008
|G
|The last of the Direct to Video sequels before an embargo was placed upon them largely due to the negative reception to the sequels. The overall plot, acting as a prequel to the original film, deals with letting go of the past and moving forward, and also honoring your parents, as Ariel's reason for bringing back music to Atlantica was because she realized her deceased mother, Queen Athena, would never have wanted music to be banned. Also has some condemnation towards totalitarianism as King Triton, due to his grief of his wife's untimely death, proceeded to enforce big government style control over the kingdom, which was not depicted in a positive light at all. That said, however, the film also conflicted with several plot details regarding the later film (namely, Ariel desiring to become human and frequently disobeying her father to pursue that dream being left out entirely, and Ariel's sisters' birth order being swapped around from what was implied in the Daughters of King Triton musical number), and overall downplays the anti-misanthropy messages the original film had.

|''The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea''
|2000
|G
|Although it to some extent retreads the plotline of the conservative film ''The Little Mermaid'' and was part of the infamous direct-to-video sequel line of the [[Michael Eisner]] era, it has a similar pro-family message and depicts the villain in a truly horrific light (such as trying to murder the main protagonist, a child, twice, once while she was a baby which acted as the primary reason why her parents, Ariel and Eric from the first film, went to great lengths to prevent her from learning about her heritage or even allowing her into the sea, and the other time when she was 12). It condemns parental neglect, too, because the main villain in question, Morgana, is largely motivated by being neglected by her mother over her elder sister, the previous main villain Ursula, which was most showcased in the special edition re-release via the added in song "Gonna Get My Wish."

|''The Lord of the Rings''
|1978
|PG
|This early attempt to bring J. R. R. Tolkien conservative text to the silver screen still stands up for friendship, bravery, honor, sacrifice etc., but the animation (and pretty much everything else) has aged very poorly. Was remade into a live action trilogy in 2001-2003.
|$30,471,420
|-
|''Max Keeble's Big Move''
|2001
|PG
|Similar to ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'', the film showcases the public school system in a more negative light, due to one of the teachers letting one of the bullies, Dobbs, get away with stealing lunch money and later the same teacher punishing Max Keeble with a significantly and unreasonably large essay about rules for being tardied despite it being obvious that the only reason he was late was because one of the bullies, Troy McGinty, forced him into a swirly (due to his being dripping wet when he entered), as well as the principal of the school, Elliot Jindrake, who also acts as one of the main antagonists, explicitly hating children and only putting up with the school so he could get promoted to superintendent, as well as explicitly embezzling the school's budget, and also proceeding to punish Max for turning up late for an auditorium event even when, similar to the swirly incident mentioned above, it was very obvious that he only ended up late because McGinty proceeded to, in a similar manner to a cooking show, humiliate him by throwing him into a mud pool, putting saw dust on him, and then forcing him into a dumpster (due to his being littered with trash when he walked in). It also has a bit of an anti-socialist message due to the Evil Ice Cream Man being implied at one point to be a socialist (due to his insulting fellow antagonist Dobbs as a "capitalist tool.") and, as indicated by his nom de guerre, was not depicted in a positive light. Also has an allegory for the liberal elements of modern-day journalism as well, due to two of the characters who worked for the school yearbook proceeding to make events out to be even worse than they actually are (such as titling the first day as "Sheep Arrive for Slaughter"), not to mention usually uses the opportunity to actually photograph events of bullying rather than actually making any attempt to prevent it. Despite that, however, it largely was criticized for being bland and unoriginal, at least among adults, including some critics citing it as being too similar to ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off''.
|$18.6 million
|-
|''The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor''
|2008
|PG-13
|Still has the same pro-family message, along with a [[Mao Zedong|Mao]]-like rogue army as the side villains. That being said, however, it was a box office bomb that caused the movie franchise to be cancelled despite leaving a hint at a sequel at the end, and there was also evidence of it being poorly made.

|''[[The Patriot]]''
|2000
|R
|Mel Gibson plays Benjamin Martin; a patriot and a father that fights for American freedom during the [[American Revolution]]. Although it promotes America in a positive light and promotes patriotism, the film alongside several other films released around the same time (such as ''Hollow Man'', ''The Animal'', ''A Knight's Tale'', and ''Vertical Limit''), was also involved in a scandal by Sony Pictures where fake reviews by a fictitious reviewer named David Manning were made as a form of movie marketing, as well as being involved in a scandal about how various trailers had Sony using employees posing as moviegoers to go see the film and give excellent reviews.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010609225327/http://www.msnbc.com/news/581770.asp?cp1=1</ref><ref>https://www.thoughtco.com/sony-fake-film-critic-story-4062655</ref><ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1495591/Sony-ordered-to-pay-1.5m-for-film-goer-hoax.html</ref>

|-
|''Pearl Harbor''
|2001
|PG-13
|This military action film gets its [[Patriotism|patriotic]] message across, but the directing, screenplay, acting, romance among the three leads, and the overall historically inaccurate portrayal one of the most horrific, tragic moments in world history for the sake of copying James Cameron's 1997 film ''Titanic'' are questionable. Then again, director Michael Bay does have a history of favoring spectacle over substance most of the time.

|''Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias''
|2002 (Japan) 2003 (USA)
|G
|Like with ''4Ever'', it has some implicit pro-Christian messages, as after the villains proceeded to hijack an ancient doomsday weapon, Latios proceeded to sacrifice himself to save Alto Mare from destruction. However, it got very low box office records due to a limited release in America which ultimately led to most other Pokémon films after it to be released as direct to video features (with only the dual-feature fourteenth movie, ''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'', the 20th movie, ''Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You'', and the 21st movie, ''The Power of Us'', ever seeing releases in theaters outside Japan since then, and even then only as limited theatrical releases), and its Japanese premiere was, until the Japanese release of the movie ''Hoopa and the Clash of Ages'', the worst performing Pokémon film ever.
|$20.9 million
|-
|''The Return of Jafar''
|1994 (VHS) 2006 (DVD)
|G
|It is the first of the infamous Direct to Video sequel era within Eisner's Disney, and has elements of very poor production values. On the other hand, the film has redemption and forgiveness as major themes of the story due to Iago, Jafar's henchman from the original film, ultimately embracing a change of heart and, after initially saving Aladdin simply so he could get into the palace, eventually proceeding to save Aladdin from Jafar twice with no expectation of a reward, and redeeming himself for betraying Aladdin out of cowardice. It also depicts people who steal from others for their own selfishness in a very negative light in the form of the co-villain Abis Mal.

|-
|''The Return of the King''
|1980
|UR
|This early attempt to bring the third book of the conservative book saga ''The Lord of the Rings'' was plagued by low budget animation due to being a made-for-TV film.

|-
|''Rise of the Guardians''
|2012
|PG
|Four immortal guardians appear as Christ-like creatures, who jobs are to protect those children who believe in them. Two of the guardians are Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, based on Christian allegories. Also, contains a guardian leader known as "Man on Moon" a clear allegory for [[God]]. Despite this, however, the film was largely a box office failure despite making double of its $145 million budget due to its high production and marketing costs, being the first DreamWorks animated movie to lose money on a film since ''Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas''.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/feb/27/dreamworks-animation-job-cuts-guardians</ref> which ultimately served as one of the reasons why DreamWorks ended up laying off 350 employees.<ref>http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/dreamworks-animation-lay-350-employees-79381</ref>
|$103,412,758<ref>http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=guardians.htm</ref>
|-
|''[[The Room]]''
|2003
|R
|This independent drama takes place in one room and explores the love triangle among an amiable banker, his deceptive fiancée, and his conflicted best friend. It teaches against alcoholism and adultery, showing the destructive nature of liberal values. However, ''The Room'' has been critically panned for its acting, screenplay, dialogue, production values, score, direction, cinematography, and handful of unrelated and unresolved subplots. Regardless of its low domestic gross from its initial theatrical run, it has done much better in recent re-screenings, becoming a cult classic of sorts.
|$1800
|-
|''Shrek the Third''
|2007
|PG
|The movie has a condemnation against totalitarian dictatorships and Hollywood values in the form of Prince Charming, who after recruiting various villains into aiding him in taking over Far Far Away, he had the kingdom become dystopic and forced the kingdom to watch a "play" he made as a subtle method of executing Shrek. In addition, it's also pro-family, as Shrek sought out Arthur, Fiona's cousin, to take the throne after her father died of an ailment and gives some heart-felt advice regarding taking up the responsibility, and Shrek ultimately resolves to be a father to his to-be-born kids after learning that Fiona was pregnant despite having misgivings regarding being a father due to his own experiences with his father (who nearly attempted to eat him). It also has condemnation of notions of revenge and has a redemption theme, as many of the villains ultimately gave up on being villains after Arthur convinced them not to be consumed by desires for revenge and seek their original goals. Despite this, however, the film had some very questionable production methods, and the plotline was fairly weak.
|$799 million
|-
|''The Santa Clause 2''
|2002
|G
|Promotes many of the same values as in ''The Santa Clause'', namely pro-Christmas and pro-family, and also has a redemption and forgiveness theme as well. However, the plot is left somewhat weak.
|
|-
|''The Santa Clause 3''
|2006
|G
|Like in the first two films, it promotes Christmas as well as family, and also has an anti-Envy message. However, the film returned poor sales, the overall plotline was very weak, and it was also criticized as only being made to make a quick buck.
|
|-
|''Space Jam''
|1996
|PG
|Basketball star Michael Jordan uses the help of the Looney Tunes to beat back alien invaders from outer space who wish to take away their freedoms. Though the film hints at an anti-illegal immigration message, it suffers from messy animation and a lack of depth, and it is often cited as feeling more like a commercial than a film. A sequel called ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'' was released in 2021 starring pro-communist basketball star LeBron James.
|$90,443,603
|-
|''Stealth''
|2005
|PG-13
|The film is pro-military and pro-American, with the North Koreans being portrayed in a negative manner. Also shows government corruption in a negative light in the form of a Washington lobbyist and the treacherous CO of the protagonists. Also has hints at a pro-War on Terror message as well. That being said, however, the movie was a critical and financial bomb, reputed to be among the worst box office losses at the time.
|$76 million
|-
|''Superman Returns''
|2006
|PG-13
|America icon Superman is seen as an angel-like figure, who helps those in need. Also condemns to some extent the liberal values within the news media, as Lois Lane's Pulitzer prize was earned due to her making a scathing article on Superman and implying the world doesn't need him, and it's revealed she made the article due to being upset at Superman leaving her behind before the events of the film. It is also pro-family, as the arc words throughout the film with Jor-El telling baby Kal-El via flashback that, even though he himself will die from the destruction of Krypton, he will not leave Superman's side, and that they'll grow stronger as one, with Superman giving a similar speech to his and Lois's son in the ending, and in addition, Lois Lane's husband, Richard White, was shown to be very protective of his family, even going as far as to take a chopper to save them while Superman was incapacitated. However, the movie also had some controversy over the director Bryan Singer's homosexuality, and while it did initially receive positive reviews, it ultimately became negative overtime, and resulted in there not being another Superman film until 2013 with ''Man of Steel'', which was treated as a reboot.
|$200,081,192
|-
|''Super Mario Bros.''
|May 28, 1993
|PG
|Loosely based on the classic video game series from Nintendo, two fraternal plumbers from Brooklyn, New York must rescue the younger's girlfriend from a parallel dimension ruled by humans descended directly from dinosaurs. The film may support the Second Amendment when an old lady, before mugging the brothers, explicitly states they need to have a weapon to survive on the streets of Dinohattan (a parody of Manhattan depicted as a lawless hellhole). Furthermore, the movie seems to condemn Communistic/fascistic big government in the form of King Koopa (a human-looking dictator loosely based on Bowser, the turtle-dragon hybrid who serves as the main villain of most Super Mario games). The aforementioned lawlessness of Dinohattan is heavily implied to be caused by King Koopa's using liberal values and big government (à la Scar from ''The Lion King'') to grossly mismanage the location to such an extent that he and his minions ran out of resources after taking over Dinohattan via a coup and "reformed" it into a people's republic with false elections. To some extent, the movie condemns evolution and social Darwinism: although the backstory does involve dinosaurs evolving into humanoid creatures since they were sent to a separate dimension from that of humans, only the villains focus on this aspect and thus want to eliminate true humans.

All that aside, the film was largely panned and recouped less than half its budget at the box office, and it is considered one of the more infamous examples of the inherent difficulties of adapting a video game into a film. Effectively, ''Super Mario Bros.'' scared Nintendo into never allowing the West to make another film based on any one of its game franchises or letting Disney have any direct role in any of its franchises besides distributing games based on them, instead granting Universal Studios the rights to build a Nintendo theme park at Universal Studios Orlando; and it ruined the directorial careers of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. Making the film took its toll on the actors, too, particularly Bob Hoskins (Mario), who stated in an interview years later that it was "…the worst thing I ever did", noting that he was stabbed four times, electrocuted, injured in one finger, and almost drowned during production. Likewise, in an autobiography, John Leguizamo (who played Luigi, Mario's younger brother) dedicates an entire chapter to the horrors of working on ''Super Mario Bros.'' and comments that he and Hoskins drank heavily during breaks to deal with the traumatic experience. Among the handful of editing errors is a specific shot that shows one of Koopa's guards slipping on slime that wasn't even present originally when the Mario Bros. revolted. This was the result of a deleted scene where Koopa, both due to his germophobic nature and as a further demonstration of the de-evolution chamber's properties, executes a technician by de-evolving him into primordial ooze for sneezing in his presence, explaining where the slime came from.
|$20.9 million
|-
|''Toy Soldiers''
|1991
|R
|Trouble making boys at a boarding school must wise up and fight as their school is taken over by terrorists. However, the script is weak and borrows elements of ''Die Hard'' and ''Red Dawn''.
|$15,073,942
|-
|''Under Siege 2: Dark Territory''
|1995
|R
|Casey Ryback, while on a train with his niece, Sarah, gets caught in the middle of another hijacking as the train is taken over by ex-military American mercenaries led by Marcus Penn. Their employer, Travis Dane, is a former weapons designer who uses the train as a mobile base to hack into his creation, the WMD satellite Grazer One, and use it to destroy Washington DC. Dane and Penn are revealed to have an extensive network of contacts with America's worst enemies, who pay them lots of money for their terrorist activities and Dane is especially amoral and depraved. He is willing to destroy a chemical weapons plant in Guanzhou, China, killing thousands, just to demonstrate the power of his weapon. He then uses it to destroy an entire passenger airplane just to kill a customer's ex-wife for extra money.

The film overall depicts Ryback's heroism in a positive light and the villains' treachery and depravity in a negative light like the first movie. It also has a pro-family theme demonstrated by Casey's relationship with Sarah as well as Casey's regret for not making amends with his brother before his brother's death. However, it's very derivative of the first film, and also has an anti-WMD message with Grazer One and Tom Breaker's line "Sane people do not build weapons like this."
|$104,324,083
|-
|''The Wild''
|2006
|G
|The main moral is that character and strength comes from within, and that it does not matter where one comes from, to achieve this. This is also a pro-family film about a father of the lion who along with his animal friends goes to search for his son after he is accidentally taken away. The villains of the movie are wildebeests that are trying to change the food chain, by planning to eat the lions, and one could argue this could give the film anti-environmentalist message. However the movie did receive poor reviews, and the movie’s main plot about Central Park Zoo animals that go on adventures was unfavorably compared to the more successful and politically neutral animation film ''Madagascar'' which had been released the year before.

Greatest Conservative Writers

2021-08-09T16:11:28Z

Psircleback: /* The Best */ Added Austen

'''Greatest Conservative Writers''' is a Hall of Fame to recognize what students in school never learn: that the finest writing is often [[conservative]] rather than [[liberal]]. Here is a growing list, along with a section for debatable candidates:

== The Best ==

*[[George Orwell]] (d. 1950), who became a [[conservative]] in his Middle Ages and yet [[liberals]] continued to promote him
*[[Pat Buchanan]], a speechwriter for [[Richard Nixon]] and the author of numerous books

Psircleback: Added rationale for removing comics

== Sowell and Scruton ==

It seems to me that [[Thomas Sowell]] and [[Roger Scruton]] present the same difficulty: both authors have been so prolific as to risk over-balancing this list, at least in its nascency. I think Scruton's 'Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey' should be read by every intelligent English-speaker on God's green earth, frankly (and you can make a start for free on Google Books btw), but others will wish his more polemical works to be represented. I haven't read enough Sowell to make a proper judgment, but there's no doubt he should be in the list, too. -J [[User:Psircleback|Psircleback]] ([[User talk:Psircleback|talk]]) 02:51, August 7, 2021 (EDT)
:I have resolved this problem by creating a sister page for conservative authors. I have also removed [[Walt Disney Comics]], not so much because they're fiction as that they're comics, ie not books at all. Since all the others listed are non-fiction, I have made that the subject of the list. I do feel works of fiction should be listed separately; I am agnostic as to whether this should be a new list on the same page or another page altogether (see also [[Essay:Greatest_Conservative_Novels]]). By the same token, the two sister pages could be merged - although it seems to me that precious little would be gained by doing so. -J [[User:Psircleback|Psircleback]] ([[User talk:Psircleback|talk]]) 11:44, August 9, 2021 (EDT)

Manliness

2021-08-08T13:26:09Z

Psircleback: 10th anniversary

'''''Manliness''''' is a book by [[conservative]]-leaning [[Harvard]] Professor Harvey Mansfield, who identifies and extols this trait which has been recognized since [[Ancient Greece]].

An entertaining read, the book is short on culture and [[American]] political history (except talks extensively about [[Teddy Roosevelt]]), while long in academic arguments based on literature. Professor Mansfield points out that ''[[Macbeth]]'' contains [[Shakespeare]]'s most praise of manliness and has many enlightening discussions of literature, such as a passage about Henry James' anti-feminist ''Bostonians''.

Mansfield sees manliness in athletes (too many to mention, he points out), and also in a few women such as [[Margaret Thatcher]] (a favorite of right-of-center professors).

The book is excellent but has notable omissions: no mention of [[muscle car]]s, by which young [[American]] men found expression of their manliness in culture. The book admittedly avoids the issue of [[homosexuality]], and it predates the rise of the very manly [[Donald Trump]]. The book has only a very superficial reference to [[Phyllis Schlafly]] and fails to recognize the significance of the defeat of the [[Equal Rights Amendment]].

====10th anniversary interview====

Mansfield chose to mark the tenth anniversary of the book's publication by giving a [https://conversationswithbillkristol.org/video/harvey-mansfield-viii/ c.75min interview] about it to Bill Kristol for the Foundation for Constitutional Government. A transcript and audio podcast are also available for download at the website.

Sir '''Karl R(aimund) Popper''' (1902-1994) was an [[Austrian]]-born [[philosophy of science|philosopher of science]] of Jewish origin widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century,<ref>{{hnb|Stanford|2006}}</ref> whose insights help limit [[liberal]] fake science. He became increasingly [[conservative]] in his political views as he grew older, perhaps as compelled by the logic of his [[philosophy]].

His development of the important concept of [[falsifiability]] was immensely influential.

Popper was very critical of [[atheism]]: "Some forms of atheism are arrogant and ignorant and should be rejected."<ref name="Interview">Zerin, Edward (1998). "Karl Popper On God: The Lost Interview". ''Skeptic'', v. 6, no. 2, also at Karl Popper (2008), After The Open Society: Selected Social and Political Writings, ch. 5, "Science and Religion," Appendix.</ref> He spoke of [[God]] as existing and viewed life as a "gift".<ref name="Interview"/>

==Philosophy of science ==
Popper was a professor at the [[London School of Economics]].<ref name="Stanford">{{cite web |url=http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/popper/ |title=Karl Popper: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |work=[[Stanford University]] |date=November 13, 1997}}</ref>

=== Falsifiability ===
{{main|Falsifiability}}

In his seminal work, ''The Logic of Scientific Discovery'' (1935), Karl Popper repudiated induction, and proposed the bright line of [[Falsifiable|falsifiability]] as a demarcation between science and non-science. In order to be scientific, a theory must be testable, and the results of the testing must either corroborate the theory, or falsify it. A proposed theory is falsifiable, if it is conceivable to conduct an experiment that would disprove the theory. For example, [[Isaac Newton]]'s [[Gravitation#Newtonian gravitation|law of gravity]] is a valid scientific theory because it is falsifiable; that is, the law of gravity is experimentally testable, and a measurement taken that violates Newton's law would falsify it, while a measurement that substantiates the theory would corroborate it, but importantly, would not "prove" it.

While chemistry, Newtonian physics and many other fields belong to science, metaphysics and pseudoscience are not scientific.

Karl Popper wrote that Darwinism is "not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme which was at best a possible framework for testable scientific theories."<ref name=StephenEJones>Jones, Stephen E. ''Stephen E. Jones Home Page''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100419000236/http://members.iinet.net.au/~sejones/PoE/pe05scnc.html]</ref> Leading Darwinist and philosopher of science, [[Michael Ruse]] declared with regard to Popper's statement and [[Falsifiability of evolution|the actions he took after making that statement]]: "Since making this claim, Popper himself has modified his position somewhat; but, disclaimers aside, I suspect that even now he does not really believe that Darwinism in its modern form is genuinely falsifiable."<ref name=StephenEJones/> Popper also criticized [[Sigmund Freud]] for being unscientific.

The issue of the [[Falsifiability of evolution|falsifiability of the evolutionary position]] is a very important issue and although offering a poor cure to the problem that Karl Popper described, committed evolutionists Louis Charles Birch and [[Paul Ehrlich|Paul R. Ehrlich]] stated in the journal ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'':
{{cquote|Our theory of evolution has become, as Popper described, one which cannot be refuted by any possible observations. Every conceivable observation can be fitted into it. It is thus outside of empirical science but not necessarily false. No one can think of ways in which to test it. Ideas, either without basis or based on a few laboratory experiments carried out in extremely simplified systems, have become part of an evolutionary dogma accepted by most of us as part of our training. The cure seems to us not to be a discarding of the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory, but more skepticism about many of its tenets.<ref>Birch, L. C. and Ehrlich, P. R. (1967), ''Nature'', v. 214, p. 349.</ref>}}

=== Universal laws ===

The falsifiability criterion arose as a result of Popper's analysis of the logic of universal laws. Universal laws have a logical structure which precludes certain existential statements: universal laws are a negation of an existential proposition. Popper's example was that of the color of swans. The universal statement "all swans are white" implies the negative existential statement "no swans of a color other than white exist". To verify the negative existential we would need to trawl through the universe to ensure that no non-white swan existed anywhere in time or space. Conversely, if we saw just one black swan we could confirm the existential statement "black swans exist" and refute the universal "all swans are white".

Popper was uncompromising in his rejection of any attempt to take confirming instances as increasing the legitimacy, likelihood, reasonableness or probability of the universal statement. No matter how many white swans you see you are no more able to assume that all swans are white than if you had seen just the one white swan. The ease with which “verifying” instances can be found led Popper to the conclusion that an attempted verification of a universal law is worse than useless: to be science universal laws must be capable of being put to the test, to be falsifiable.

==Politics==
A refugee from Austria after the rise of [[Nazism]], Popper dedicated the war years to the study of the roots of totalitarian thought. ''The Open Society and its Enemies'' analysed the contribution, as he saw it, of [[Plato]], [[Hegel]] and [[Marx]] to an anti-rational tribalistic “closed society”. The closed society was, for Popper, marked by a lack of criticism of established ideas (established societal norms being treated not as societal norms but as “taboo” or “the natural order”) together with a collectivism that subjected the individual to the group goal. Popper also saw “historicist” views and underpinning much of the thought behind the “closed” society. “Historicism”, dealt with in ''The Poverty of Historicism'' (1957) and criticised throughout the ''Open Society'', both sees historical laws of development and bases much of its morality on these supposed laws.

In contrast the concept of the "Open Society" reflects Popper's concept of science. Just as there is no method for generating a true description of a Universal Law there is no method for generating perfect (Utopian) social laws, norms or governmental actions. Society will always be in a state of less than perfection and may only improve by changing what was previously thought to be the best course of action. As society can only improve by self-criticism it follows that criticism must not be restricted.

The view is criticised by those who see positive value in tradition, ritual and shared belief ''per se''. (A small scale example is the family Christmas tradition that most families have. They are usually dogmatically held and are of value precisely because they are dogmatically held: the shared dogma helps bind the family together). The view is also criticised by those who suspect our ability to decide on the full facts when looking at a social institution. All actions have unintended, unknown, consequences. We may simply not be aware of some functions of the particular institution, tradition or social norm being criticised. Avoiding rejection of institutions with good, but unknown, consequences necessitates some level of dogma to protect them.<ref>See, for example, O'Hear, A. "The Open Society Revisted". ''Karl Popper: Critical Appraisals'', ed. by P. Catton and G. MacDonald (Routledge Abingdon, 2004).</ref>

Popper's views on politics cannot be placed along the traditional left/right axis. Bryan Magee, a liberal politician (MP for the British Labour Party and the British Social Democratic Party) who knew Popper personally, reflected that Popper began adult life an "emotionally committed social democrat" and moved, with middle age, progressively to the right. Magee reflected that the key insights given by Popper, the method of robustly criticising our own views, "can be adopted by anyone committed to democratic politics, from the extreme democratic left to the extreme democratic right."<ref>B. Magee "What Use is Popper to a Politician" in A. O'Hear (ed.) ''Karl Popper: Philosophy and Problems'', Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1995. page 266.</ref>

==Critical rationalism==

{{See also|Critical rationalism}}

In ''The Open Society and its Enemies'' Popper put forward the concept of "critical rationalism" in opposition to what he called the "authoritarian rationalism" of previous philosophers. Previous philosophers had assumed a central role of justification in knowledge, whilst Popper denied the very possibility of justification arguing that any attempt to establish a foundation for knowledge led to a regress ending in "faith" (in the sense of a belief held without conclusive reasons that is held to be uncriticizable). Popper characterized rationality not as a methodology of formulating and verifying proposition but as a constant criticism of existing beliefs.

In ''The Open Society and its Enemies'' Popper declared his "faith" in reason (as characterized by criticism), a faith that led him to reject any other epistemological authority. His student, W. W. Bartley III went further ("The Retreat to Commitment") and rejected the need to have faith in reason. For Bartley ''all'' propositions were criticizable, even the propositions of basic logic themselves, a position he termed "comprehensively critical rationalism".

Another pupil of Popper's, David W. Miller rejects not only dogma, which can be characterized as support for propositions that should not be questioned but the very concept of "support".

<blockquote>
"there exist no grounds whatever, conclusive or inconclusive, for anything that we know"<ref>[http://intl.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/284/5420/1625]</ref>
</blockquote>

The view is criticized by those who hold that knowledge must have foundations, basic beliefs that are both true and justified, from which other propositions are derived. In ''The Open Society and its Enemies'', Popper refutes naive versions of this theory by pointing out that simply as a matter of logic such beliefs cannot be invoked to justify themselves; hence, the foundation stands in need of a foundation. He proceeds to add weight to this argument using the example of mathematics, citing Godel's Incompleteness Theorum and extending the principle to every science (eg physics) that depends on even basic arithmetic. Popper felt that he had refuted foundationalism decisively - but the urge to 'foundationalize' mathematics has not abated and, more generally, a number of significant thinkers (notably Quine, arguably Wittgenstein) have advanced various 'holisms' to provide epistemology with a foundation that isn't subject to Popper's apparently decisive refutation of naive foundationalism.

|''[[Watership Down]]''
|[[Richard Adams]]
|This book tells of a band of British rabbits led by two brothers - clever leader Hazel and prophetic Fiver - as they journey to a new home when their old home is bulldozed. Once they reach their new home, they spend the novel building it up by recruiting more rabbits to join them, as well as fend off an attack from an aggressive neighboring warren.

While Richard Adams said that the book is more for entertainment and not an allegory, there are still some lessons to be learned in the story. The book promotes upholding traditions, though the rabbits are not afraid to break tradition once in a while to make their new home (for example, females do most of the digging for their babies, but the males that made it through the journey decide to dig in their place), thus showing that there is room for both conservative values and progressive values. Totalitarian rule is condemned in the form of the book's villain: General Woundwort, who rules Efrefa with an iron paw; he keeps his rabbits in seclusion in Efrefa to the point of them overcrowding and allows his council to rip the ears of another rabbit named Blackavar for trying to escape. Courage, loyalty, and fighting for one's home are shown in a positive light, an example being Bigwig (a friend of Hazel's and an officer in the "Owsla") helping his friends defend their new home and fighting Woundwort himself. Hazel and Fiver share a strong brotherhood; while they have their differences in ways of thinking (Hazel being more daring and Fiver being more cautious), they ultimately respect each other and care for each other, showing brotherhood in a good way. Finally, while there is some environmentalism in the book (though the humans are portrayed as mainly apathetic to the rabbits' lives, and Richard Adams had condemned urbanizing the countryside), it does show that humans can be good to rabbits, as seen when a girl named Lucy saves Hazel from her cat and releases him back into the wild.

An animated movie based on the book premiered in 1978, which (while portraying the same values as the book) is remembered for being pretty graphic and violent. A three-season animated TV series was released in 1999 and ended in 2001, being the most family-friendly of ''Watership Down'' adaptations. BBC released a CGI Netflix miniseries in 2018, which follows the book more than the 1978 film. A sequel to the book called ''Tales of Watership Down'' was published in 1996.

|''Guardians of Ga'Hoole''
|Kathryn Lasky
|The series stars a world where owls dominate the world after humanity goes extinct and form their own kingdoms; a band of owls called the Guardians of Ga'Hoole is formed, knightly owls who rise each night to perform noble deeds, protect the innocent, and vanquish evil. The first several books tell of the story of Soren, a young barn owl shoved out of the nest by his older brother Kludd, as he and an elf owl named Gylfie escape their captors and join new friends in finding the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. His nephew Coryn (born to the traitorous Kludd and Nyra) gets his story in the last few books, where he goes from child soldier to kindly king of Ga'Hoole.

These books positively portray a battle of good versus evil (showing who is clearly good and who is clearly evil) and objective morality, as well as portraying family in a positive light. Betraying family is seen in a negative light, an example being where Kludd shoves Soren out of the nest to pass a Pure Ones test, brainwashes his baby sister, and very likely kills his parents. Racism is rightfully portrayed as negative, as the Pure Ones are barn owl supremacists who want all other species of owls to be servants to barn owls; they even show hypocrisy by treating other Tytos in their ranks (like sooty owls and masked owls) lower than barn owls. Faith and science are both important in the series, where owl authors have written in books how the gizzard is important to owls both physically and mentally; the more scientific spotted owl Otulissa even learns to respect others' way of thinking even if she doesn't agree.

The books have also gotten a field guide, a collection of stories, and a prequel called ''The Rise of a Legend'' (which tells the long story of a soldier-turned-teacher owl named Ezylryb who had served in the owl army). Spinoffs were also included like ''Wolves of the Beyond'', ''Horses of the Dawn'', and ''Bears of the Ice''. An animated movie called ''Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole'' was released in theatres in 2010, loosely based on the first three books of the series (''The Capture'', ''The Journey'', and ''The Rescue'').

|''The Alchemist ''
|Paulo Coelho
|This novel is ultimately an anti-victimhood moral. It's a story about having a dream, and the number one thing that keeps us from achieving greatness is not some oppressive force, (although there will be obstacles), it's instead one's fear that keeps one from ever trying.

Set at some undisclosed time somewhere in the middle east, a young shepherd boy has a dream. Of which he is convinced is a prophetic vision where he will find a hidden treasure in Egypt. The boy is visited by a mysterious traveler (who turns out to be a famous biblical character) who knows without being told, the boys vision, and at the cost of 10% of his flock will help him on his journey.

The boy has to decide if he is going to take a leap of faith and embark on a journey that is filled with life lessons, hardships, and mysteries. While in the end, all these things were just a part of an ordained destiny, or as he puts it, necessary steps towards his "Personal Legend". It's a wonder quick read, with a wonder biblical story type feel but has magical or "Alchemist" elements similar to "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" that makes it appealing to fantasy readers.

It's all the more powerful and inspiring when you read the Author's life story, and realize the story is true.

|''Elephants Are Not Birds''
|Ashley St. Clair
|This children's book stars a young elephant child named Kevin who has a penchant for singing, which prompts a vulture named Culture to trick him into believing that he was born a bird; the vulture even gives him some fake wings and a fake beak so that he can be one. Over the course of the book, however, Kevin comes to understand that he can't be a bird and decides to be who he was born to be: an elephant who can sing. The author confirms that this is an "unapologetic rebuke of the transgender acceptance and the growing number of young people identifying as trans", calling out the idea of creating many "genders" and confusing kids into becoming trans.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/07/26/conservative-publisher-brave-books-launches-with-anti-trans-childrens-book-elephants-are-not-birds-1109054/?fbclid=IwAR3t0e9Y3eF3itTGLec83eQxbOPg_BOrS5jD-6mhoI_5pR3m4BSM8xXCqIE</ref>

|''[[Bambi]]''
|Felix Salten
|Even though it's anti-hunting, this novel featuring the life of a young European roe deer still promotes friendship and family values. An animated film by Walt Disney was released in 1942, changing the setting from Austria to Maine, USA, for a more familiar audience (and thus changing Bambi from a roe deer to a white-tailed deer).

|Although these books are silly and don't necessarily portray friendship and family values in the most positive light, the main character, Greg Heffley and his family are Christians. Some of these books also have brief anti-public school and anti-environmentalist messages as well. Even though Greg Heffley can be a jerk sometimes, in some books, he overcomes certain hardships.

|The first part of this novelization of the classic 1993 [[Halloween]] film ''Hocus Pocus'' contain the same conservative messages that the movie had portrayed: family and friendship, as well as resisting against evil. The sequel has Max and Allison's daughter Poppy witnessing the three Sanderson witch sisters rising up again after twenty-five years, and she must work with her friends and Thackery Binx's ghost to stop them from wreaking the destruction that her parents and aunt helped stop. While the sequel contains most of the same conservative messages that the book before and the film portrayed, Poppy is shown to be homosexual by having a crush on a fellow girl after being friends for years.

|''Warriors''
|Erin Hunter
|''Warriors'' (or ''Warrior Cats'') is an ongoing book series about five colonies of feral cats called Clans living together and fighting for survival. The series starts with a house cat named Rusty leaving his owners to join one of these Clans, and later books star much more characters that include the descendants of Rusty - who eventually becomes Firestar - and even cats from before his era. The series itself has had seven six-book arcs (with an eighth arc on the way), thirteen stand-alone books, four manga arcs and two stand-alone manga novels, five field guides, and twenty-one novellas.

The series starts out pretty neutral, one example being that while the Clans are staying separate, they can still come together to fight whatever threatens all the Clans, including Scourge and his BloodClan cats as well as the Dark Forest (the cat version of hell). Family is portrayed positively, an example being Firestar agreeing to adopt his sister's firstborn kitten Cloudtail so that he can be a warrior like him. Totalitarianism is condemned through leaders like Brokenstar, who kills kittens during battle practice and forces his cats to constantly go to war.

However, it's become more liberal in later books. An open border policy is suggested as good, an example being Mistystar's decision to temporarily close RiverClan's borders and look after her own cats first being portrayed as negative (however, this has been seen as not completely bad by some fans, who said that it could put an end to inbreeding in the Clans). Moral relativism is even seen as good in a way, an example being the author portraying the murderous manipulator Mapleshade as sympathetic by making everyone around her even worse. There seems to be a pro-anarchy message in the form of Needletail, who refuses to take responsibility for helping the sixth arc's villain, Darktail, take control of ShadowClan due to resentment towards their leader Rowanstar. ''The Raging Storm'' portrays a not-so-subtle jab at Donald Trump's 2016 slogan "Make America Great Again" by painting Tigerheart's line "Make ShadowClan great again" in a negative light. Finally, the series promotes a slight environmentalist message in glorifying the wild cats' harsh way of life while having the Clan cats look down on house cats (known to them as "kittypets") and their safer and saner lifestyle.

Karl Popper

2021-08-04T19:13:00Z

Psircleback: /* Politics */

[[Image:Image014.jpg|right|frame]]
Sir '''Karl R(aimund) Popper''' (1902-1994) was an [[Austrian]]-born [[philosophy of science|philosopher of science]] of Jewish origin widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century,<ref>{{hnb|Stanford|2006}}</ref> whose insights help limit [[liberal]] fake science. He became increasingly [[conservative]] in his political views as he grew older, perhaps as compelled by the logic of his [[philosophy]].

His development of the important concept of [[falsifiability]] was immensely influential.

Popper was very critical of [[atheism]]: "Some forms of atheism are arrogant and ignorant and should be rejected."<ref name="Interview">Zerin, Edward (1998). "Karl Popper On God: The Lost Interview". ''Skeptic'', v. 6, no. 2, also at Karl Popper (2008), After The Open Society: Selected Social and Political Writings, ch. 5, "Science and Religion," Appendix.</ref> He spoke of [[God]] as existing and viewed life as a "gift".<ref name="Interview"/>

==Philosophy of science ==
Popper was a professor at the [[London School of Economics]].<ref name="Stanford">{{cite web |url=http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/popper/ |title=Karl Popper: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |work=[[Stanford University]] |date=November 13, 1997}}</ref>

=== Falsifiability ===
{{main|Falsifiability}}

In his seminal work, ''The Logic of Scientific Discovery'' (1935), Karl Popper repudiated induction, and proposed the bright line of [[Falsifiable|falsifiability]] as a demarcation between science and non-science. In order to be scientific, a theory must be testable, and the results of the testing must either corroborate the theory, or falsify it. A proposed theory is falsifiable, if it is conceivable to conduct an experiment that would disprove the theory. For example, [[Isaac Newton]]'s [[Gravitation#Newtonian gravitation|law of gravity]] is a valid scientific theory because it is falsifiable; that is, the law of gravity is experimentally testable, and a measurement taken that violates Newton's law would falsify it, while a measurement that substantiates the theory would corroborate it, but importantly, would not "prove" it.

While chemistry, Newtonian physics and many other fields belong to science, metaphysics and pseudoscience are not scientific.

Karl Popper wrote that Darwinism is "not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme which was at best a possible framework for testable scientific theories."<ref name=StephenEJones>Jones, Stephen E. ''Stephen E. Jones Home Page''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100419000236/http://members.iinet.net.au/~sejones/PoE/pe05scnc.html]</ref> Leading Darwinist and philosopher of science, [[Michael Ruse]] declared with regard to Popper's statement and [[Falsifiability of evolution|the actions he took after making that statement]]: "Since making this claim, Popper himself has modified his position somewhat; but, disclaimers aside, I suspect that even now he does not really believe that Darwinism in its modern form is genuinely falsifiable."<ref name=StephenEJones/> Popper also criticized [[Sigmund Freud]] for being unscientific.

The issue of the [[Falsifiability of evolution|falsifiability of the evolutionary position]] is a very important issue and although offering a poor cure to the problem that Karl Popper described, committed evolutionists Louis Charles Birch and [[Paul Ehrlich|Paul R. Ehrlich]] stated in the journal ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'':
{{cquote|Our theory of evolution has become, as Popper described, one which cannot be refuted by any possible observations. Every conceivable observation can be fitted into it. It is thus outside of empirical science but not necessarily false. No one can think of ways in which to test it. Ideas, either without basis or based on a few laboratory experiments carried out in extremely simplified systems, have become part of an evolutionary dogma accepted by most of us as part of our training. The cure seems to us not to be a discarding of the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory, but more skepticism about many of its tenets.<ref>Birch, L. C. and Ehrlich, P. R. (1967), ''Nature'', v. 214, p. 349.</ref>}}

=== Universal laws ===

The falsifiability criterion arose as a result of Popper's analysis of the logic of universal laws. Universal laws have a logical structure which precludes certain existential statements: universal laws are a negation of an existential proposition. Popper's example was that of the color of swans. The universal statement "all swans are white" implies the negative existential statement "no swans of a color other than white exist". To verify the negative existential we would need to trawl through the universe to ensure that no non-white swan existed anywhere in time or space. Conversely, if we saw just one black swan we could confirm the existential statement "black swans exist" and refute the universal "all swans are white".

Popper was uncompromising in his rejection of any attempt to take confirming instances as increasing the legitimacy, likelihood, reasonableness or probability of the universal statement. No matter how many white swans you see you are no more able to assume that all swans are white than if you had seen just the one white swan. The ease with which “verifying” instances can be found led Popper to the conclusion that an attempted verification of a universal law is worse than useless: to be science universal laws must be capable of being put to the test, to be falsifiable.

==Politics==
A refugee from Austria after the rise of [[Nazism]], Popper dedicated the war years to the study of the roots of totalitarian thought. ''The Open Society and its Enemies'' analysed the contribution, as he saw it, of [[Plato]], [[Hegel]] and [[Marx]] to an anti-rational tribalistic “closed society”. The closed society was, for Popper, marked by a lack of criticism of established ideas (established societal norms being treated not as societal norms but as “taboo” or “the natural order”) together with a collectivism that subjected the individual to the group goal. Popper also saw “historicist” views and underpinning much of the thought behind the “closed” society. “Historicism”, dealt with in ''The Poverty of Historicism'' (1957) and criticised throughout the ''Open Society'', both sees historical laws of development and bases much of its morality on these supposed laws.

In contrast the concept of the "Open Society" reflects Popper's concept of science. Just as there is no method for generating a true description of a Universal Law there is no method for generating perfect (Utopian) social laws, norms or governmental actions. Society will always be in a state of less than perfection and may only improve by changing what was previously thought to be the best course of action. As society can only improve by self-criticism it follows that criticism must not be restricted.

The view is criticised by those who see positive value in tradition, ritual and shared belief ''per se''. (A small scale example is the family Christmas tradition that most families have. They are usually dogmatically held and are of value precisely because they are dogmatically held: the shared dogma helps bind the family together). The view is also criticised by those who suspect our ability to decide on the full facts when looking at a social institution. All actions have unintended, unknown, consequences. We may simply not be aware of some functions of the particular institution, tradition or social norm being criticised. Avoiding rejection of institutions with good, but unknown, consequences necessitates some level of dogma to protect them.<ref>See, for example, O'Hear, A. "The Open Society Revisted". ''Karl Popper: Critical Appraisals'', ed. by P. Catton and G. MacDonald (Routledge Abingdon, 2004).</ref>

Popper's views on politics cannot be placed along the traditional left/right axis. Bryan Magee, a liberal politician (MP for the British Labour Party and the British Social Democratic Party) who knew Popper personally, reflected that Popper began adult life an "emotionally committed social democrat" and moved, with middle age, progressively to the right. Magee reflected that the key insights given by Popper, the method of robustly criticising our own views, "can be adopted by anyone committed to democratic politics, from the extreme democratic left to the extreme democratic right."<ref>B. Magee "What Use is Popper to a Politician" in A. O'Hear (ed.) ''Karl Popper: Philosophy and Problems'', Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1995. page 266.</ref>

==Critical rationalism==

{{See also|Critical rationalism}}

In ''The Open Society and its Enemies'' Popper put forward the concept of "critical rationalism" in opposition to what he called the "authoritarian rationalism" of previous philosophers. Previous philosophers had assumed a central role of justification in knowledge, whilst Popper denied the very possibility of justification arguing that any attempt to establish a foundation for knowledge led to a regress ending in "faith" (in the sense of a belief held without conclusive reasons that is held to be uncriticisable). Popper characterised rationality not as a methodology of formulating and verifying proposition but as a constant criticism of existing beliefs.

In ''The Open Society and its Enemies'' Popper declared his "faith" in reason (as characterised by criticism). A faith that led him to reject any other epistemological authority. His student, W. W. Bartley III went further ("The Retreat to Comittment") and rejected the need to have faith in reason. For Bartley ''all'' propositions where criticisable, even the propositions of basic logic themselves, a position he termed "comprehensively critical rationalism".

Another pupil of Popper's, David W. Miller rejects not only dogma, which can be characterised as support for propositions that should not be questioned but the very concept of "support".

<blockquote>
"there exist no grounds whatever, conclusive or inconclusive, for anything that we know"<ref>[http://intl.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/284/5420/1625]</ref>
</blockquote>

The view is criticised by those who hold that knowledge must have foundations, basic beliefs that are both true and justified, from which other propositions are derived.

Psircleback: Latest news

Equity

2021-08-04T18:59:01Z

Psircleback: Popular capitalism; housing equity

'''Equity''' has at least three specific meanings: ''financial'' and ''legal'' meanings, both of long standing, and a relatively new but increasingly often-seen (albeit much vaguer) family of ''political'' meanings. What all three senses have in common is connoting ''fairness'' in some way or other. By far, the most frequently encountered sense is the financial one, denoting a holding of stock or shares in a company, and some at least of the family of political usages are derived from that sense (see below), often in contrast with ''equality''.

==In law==
In the legal sense, ''Equity'' is the law that developed in [[England]] in the [[Court of Chancery]] prior to 1873 (at which point the [[Judicature Act]] gave the courts jurisdiction in both common law and equity). It developed largely as a reaction to the strict rules enforced in the [[common law]] courts. Although initially more flexible than the common law (thus prompting the famous remark by [[John Selden]] that “Equity varies with the length of the Chancellor’s foot”) equity has become more fixed over time.

In the [[United States]] the [[Federal government]] and most of the [[State government]]s have merged their equitable and common law courts. But principles of '''equity''' remain very important in many legal doctrines, such distinguishing when a [[plaintiff]] has a right to a jury under the [[U.S. Constitution]].

==In finance==
In a business context, ''equity'' financing is one of two principle ways for a company to finance (raise money for) an investment; the other is ''debt'' financing - borrowing money at interest. Rather than borrow the money, the directors can decide to issue (ie sell) newly-created shares in the company. The money raised belongs immediately to the company itself and does not have to be repaid (although it is possible for the company later to ''buy-back'' shares at the prevailing market price, thereby effectively reversing the process). The new investors in the company therefore surrender their money indefinitely; what they get in return is a proportionate share in the ownership, control and subsequent profits of the company. In particular, each is entitled to an ''equal'' share of the profits corresponding to the proportion of shares held: every share is of equal worth, hence ''equity''. (There are, however, devices like eg special shares, or even so-called 'golden shares', that can compromise this principle - for example, by granting shareholders a profit-share without sharing control. Such shares are of lesser value, inevitably, but the lower cost can attract 'silent' investors who are uninterested in influencing how the business is actually run.)

The 'share of control' component of equity finance gives rise to a broader use of ''equity'' in certain closely-related contexts. German ''industrial democracy'' is a good example. In the largest German companies, worker's bodies like trade unions often have a limited number of management positions, and even seats on the company board, reserved for them - even though this doesn't correspond to any actual shareholding. By virtue of representing a sizeable number of employees, the union is thought to have enough "skin in the game" to deserve, in the name of equity, some share of control (though not of ownership or profits; unlike the owners, the workers still get paid even if the company loses money, unless it loses so much as to go bankrupt). This practice is fairly rare in most English-speaking countries like the US and the UK, but the system's defenders argue that recognizing equity in this broader sense makes union-management relations much less adversarial, so reducing unrest and thereby improving productivity, to the gain of all. Its critics typically allow this, but insist that the game is never worth the candle because investors are deterred to the exact extent that their share of control is diluted, noting that nothing is stopping the union from investing directly - nor individual workers, for that matter. The question may never be settled: in countries such as post-war Japan where industrial democracy has clearly been successful, a very different cultural context has, equally clearly, been a greatly significant factor in that success. Much the same is likely true, albeit perhaps to a lesser extent, in Scandinavia; hence, when American self-styled "Democratic Socialists" like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez insist that all they are seeking to do is to make the US more like Sweden, they simply overlook that Americans are not and never will be anything like Swedes. (God forbid.)

====='Popular capitalism': the British experiment=====
Measures to encourage employee share ownership however, thereby giving workers an incentive to take a broad view of their business's interests, have often been successful, sometimes very successful. The Americans having been insufficiently stupid ever to embark on a program of nationalization in the first place, history gave to the British the task of demonstrating why and how to reverse the process - although strictly they were anticipated on a small scale by the Canadians, who had vastly less industrial devastation to undo. Earlier attempts to 'denationalize' the so-called "commanding heights" of the British economy under the lackluster premiership of Edward Heath in the 1970s having come to nothing, it fell to middle-period Margaret Thatcher to champion the cause of 'popular capitalism' with an aggressive program of 'privatization' (although Thatcher herself disliked the word, at least initially; similarly, her longest-serving chancellor of the exchequer (=finance minister) Nigel Lawson's original coinage "people's capitalism" smacked, to her, far too much of "people's democracy," ie communist dictatorship, and was swiftly replaced).

The neologism 'Privatization', however, stuck - not least because no-one could come up with a superior alternative. But even if the word was ugly, the practice was usually a triumph and the overall results were quite remarkable: under Thatcher the proportion of British adults owning shares rose from one in fourteen to one in ''four''. According to Lawson<ref>{{cite book|author=Nigel Lawson|title=The View from No. 11: Memoirs of a Tory Radical|year=1992|publisher=Bantam Press|isbn=978-0-593-02218-4|page=228}}</ref>, an "encouraging feature" of the Thatcher-era privatizations was that the proportion of the workforce subscribing for shares in the company many times exceeded ''ninety percent'' (which turned out to be the average; it reached 96% at British Telecom where only one in ''twenty-five'' employees did not invest), and this always despite trenchant union opposition to boot: "trade union leaders would condemn the privatization with bell, book, and candle, and enjoin their members not to touch it with a bargepole, and their members would take not the slightest notice of them." The unions found one or two unlikely allies among the old guard in the City of London (=financial district), with the head of one broking house exclaiming "But John [Moore, Lawson's Financial Secretary], we don't want all those kind of people owning shares, do we?" Indeed they did.

An arguably even more successful policy of the Thatcher government was the introduction of a tenant's right to buy their hitherto rented house from a local council or social housing association at a fairly favorable price by saving enough money to make the deposit (=down-payment) on a mortgage (perhaps ten percent or so of the sale price, in 1980s Britain). This perfectly illustrates ''equity'' in the derived sense simply of having some share in a capital asset. As a percentage, a home-owner's 'equity' in their house is 100 minus (100 x mortgage_debt_remaining divided by current_market_value), from which it follows that if house prices rise generally in real terms then the home-owner's equity will increase disproportionately in their favor because the mortgage debt is indexed to interest rates, not property values. The excess, known as a ''capital gain'', is (potentially) taxable but, happily, in the UK capital gained on a "first home" was (and is) exempt from taxation - hence the huge success of the policy in the booming economy over which Mrs Thatcher presided. By the same token, if house prices collapse then home-owners can suffer ''negative equity'' whereby the mortgage debt exceeds the market value; the practical effect is to make it impossible for the home-owner to sell their house without either funding the difference from savings or, if they are able to at all, incurring it as an unsecured debt at (presumably) a higher interest rate due to the lack of security for the creditor - exactly what sadly happened to many late-comers to the 'right-to-buy' party under Mrs Thatcher's successor as prime minister, John Major, in the markedly inferior economic climate of the early 1990s.

== Move request ==

Hallo. I need your help to move two pages as I made errors in their titles.

One of them is "Sarah Brown Liberal Democrat".
It has been suggested I change this to "Sarah Brown (UK Politician)" as most readers are American. I just need to figure out how to do this.

The second is "Jane Samantha Fae alias John Ozimek" which should read Jane Francesca Fae. I would be very grateful if you could please shift those for me. [[User:GraceDalrymple|GraceDalrymple]]

:Yes, I saw the discussion. I have moved those two pages, as requested. Moving pages is restricted to administrators and SysOps, so it is not your fault, as if you just can't figure out how to move pages...the wiki will not let you. No need to feel bad about it!
:I am happy to help, so just let me know if/when you need further assistance. It's no trouble! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 14:41, 27 September 2018 (EDT)

::Both done --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:00, 6 November 2018 (EST)

:I think that actually may be deliberate (see: https://www.facebook.com/Enrique-Peña-Nieto-Oficial-1708563375863631).

Done. I have been sometimes leaving the redirects (for a while) so that new editors who don't know how to use RC can still find their pages. However, that may be unnecessary, and since I see you usually delete the redirect anyway, I will plan on just deleting the redirect in the future. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 17:29, 11 December 2018 (EST)

::Hello DavidB4, would you please move [[Eastern Empires vs Western Empires]] to be an essay?

While I'm reluctant to rename my "Donald Trump achievements" articles so long after creation, it probably would be a good idea to move [[Donald Trump achievements: Immigration, illegal immigration, and border security]] to [[Donald Trump achievements: Immigration and border security]]. If you agree this is a good idea, would you please do it, and would you then delete the redirect and change every link where I (or someone else) has linked it? Then, I will begin doing the 2-3 article splits I told you about. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 08:35, 31 December 2018 (EST)

:I agree--that is a repetitive name, so a move makes sense. I have moved the page, and clean up most of the links to the old name. However, I have a little bit of a time crunch right now, so I'm going to need to leave one thing undone: [[Donald Trump]] needs to be unlocked so the link can be updated. I can ask for the unlock later, or you can if you get there first. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 17:02, 31 December 2018 (EST)

Would you please move the article [[Conservative Revolution]] to the "essay" namespace? I don't want to delete it outright, but the article isn't suitable as an encyclopedia article, considering the use of second person, lack of intro paragraph, and the fact it seems to be making an argument like an essay. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:44, 1 July 2019 (EDT)
:Also, please move the article [[Edward feser]] to capitalize the guy's last name. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:16, 5 July 2019 (EDT)
::Also, do you see any problem with these articles: [[Generation Identity]], [[European New Right]]? Either way, they need formatting work. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:56, 5 July 2019 (EDT)

:::I see no glaring issues, on the surface, although the formatting of [[Generation Identity]] suggests that it came from a Wiki. I didn't find any problems with a standard plagiarism check. It needs some cleanup though. [[European New Right]] looks incomplete and need expansion. No glaring issues though.

It appears that it is only when you really want to have sex and you don't. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:58, 1 December 2018 (EST)
::Yes, it was a very one-sided argument, which is factually questionable. Without getting unnecessarily descriptive, the body does have ways of dealing with some of the stated issues. Research is sketchy if even existent on several of the things you mentioned. Additionally, the first paragraph was written as your own, mot a quote, even though is was a direct copy-and-paste from another source. (That is by definition plagiarism--taking credit for someone else's work.) --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 13:03, 1 December 2018 (EST)
::: ''So what are the health benefits of sex, besides relieving stress and helping you fall asleep? Studies have shown that regular sex has a protective effect on the heart, lowering the risk of heart attack in men. For both men and women, “It increases blood flow to the genitals and probably helps the immune system,” Herbenick says. “All things being equal, it’s also fun when things are going well [in your relationship.]”
''So abstaining – especially long-term – can carry some physical consequences. In women, it can cause the atrophying of underused vaginal or hip muscles, Lindau says. Vaginismus is a common condition characterized by hypersensitivity of the muscles around the opening of the vagina, she adds. Those muscles – along with the pelvic floor muscles – are important for controlling penetration, and they need to be in a relaxed state during sexual intercourse. If they are hyper-contracted – not necessarily from abstinence itself, but accumulated fear or anticipation of the first sexual experience – sex can be very painful. “They say it feels like he’s hit a wall,” Lindausays, adding that vaginismus can be treated.''

I said refute me, but instead you give me extra arguments. Thank you so much. --[[User:Makuta Makaveli|Makuta Makaveli]] ([[User talk:Makuta Makaveli|talk]]) 14:20, 1 December 2018 (EST)
:Neither of us are arguing that sex is bad or harmful -- all of the articles I cited said that sex can be good, but abstinence can also be good. You're committing a fallacy by assuming that just because sex is good means that abstinence is bad.
:Unless you get STDs or anything like that from sex, it is just as good as abstinence. The articles made it clear that abstinence does not have harmful side-effects.

::::::"''dangers of lifelong abstinence''" -- That's ridiculous, and choosing not to have sex (especially outside of heterosexual marriage) is normal, and sex outside of marriage can actually be dangerous (if there are STDs involved). Many people have been abstinent and turned out just fine. You're distorting the facts to make it seem like it's a necessity to have sex in order to be healthy, and if you don't there's a medical problem, when in reality neither option is inherently harmful.

Makuta Makaveli either has an agenda, or gets his/her information from people who have an agenda to promote casual sex by making abstinence look like a "health hazard." The Atheist YouTuber "MrRepzion" also claimed that one needed to have "trial sex" to see if the two are "sexually compatible." It would help CP if the articles had information debunking these claims [[User:Shobson20|Shobson20]] ([[User talk:Shobson20|talk]]) 12:08, 2 December 2018 (EST)

:Most people argue that there is "no harm" in casual sex--that has become a common claim (although some say is is risky due to STDs). Because of this, there are plentiful materials arguing that claim. However, it is much harder to find support for this claim that is is actually unhealthy to abstain by choice. I've seen a few unscientific blog posts, etc. about it, but nothing verifiable. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist (there is always someone willing to write a paper on some fringe belief which people want to hear--just look at chocolate, for example, where they like to disregard the health costs of sugar and just look at the pure chocolate, which by the way tastes pretty bad on its own) but I'm not finding proof.
:Shobson20, the "try it before you buy it" idea is certainly nothing new in personal relationships.

:Well, he exists. It seems he's a small-time actor who has been in a few movies I've never heard of, and is barely active on YouTube. This does seem to be relatively original text...all two sentences of it.
:So on to the negative, I firstly find the wording "internet celebrity" rather questionable. I don't see anything suggesting that title. I could be missing something, but from what I'm seeing, he looks more like a wannabe celebrity. Each of his youtube videos has between 1K and 7K views.

Hello DavidB4, it might be worth taking a look at and moving this article: [[Template:Examples of Liberal Bias]]

I think it should probably be moved to a mainspace article or at least have its formatting improved. For example, the template is transcluded in the [[Liberal bias]] article, and if you look at the table of contents, starting at the first "See also" section and below, the template transclusion messes things up. Of course, whether we move this article to mainspace or simply do some formatting fixes, it's going to take some work to get this done. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 15:44, 28 January 2019 (EST)

It might be worth considering moving [[Jane Samantha Fae]] to [[Jane Francesca Fae alias John Ozimek]] -- that's what User:GraceDalrymple did, but how she did it was very poor, simply blanking one page and creating the other one, and she didn't make the first page a proper redirect.

== Editing question ==

Hi DavidB4 and the others!

I just created an account a few days ago and have been doing some adding of pages and editing. Unfortunately, I think I might have gotten a little carried away and did some editing to a page that wasn't mine (Romulus Augustulus, the last Roman emperor) without taking time to check up on editing etiquette. So that I know for future reference, is it generally expected that you shouldn't do significant editing without talking to the original author first?

My apologies to the author; I hope you'll forgive it as just a case of over-enthusiasm.

-Teakin88

:Hi Teakin88, Welcome to Conservapedia! 
:I see nothing unfortunate about some initiative to improve an article--good work! If you are going to make a major point-of-view change, or do something potentially controversial, it would probably be a good idea to first ask on the respective article talk page. If no one objects, then go for it. For general, non-controversial expansions like this, there shouldn't typically be any need to ask. It should also be noted that no one really "owns" articles. There are some articles in which a single editor has made a significant investment (1990'sguy and the [[Donald Trump achievements]] articles come to mind). In those cases, would probably be the courteous thing to do to ask before removing, changing, or contradicting preexisting content. Also, if you plan to change the perspective of an article (i.e., changing the Donald Trump article to say he's a traitor, lair, and jerk) you should probably ask first. However, in most cases, you can just go ahead and make improvements where you see the need. If someone disagrees with an edit you made, they will probably revert that edit and let you know. In that case, respect the senior editor, talk to them, and come to some agreement. I hope this clarifies the matter. If in doubt, it never hurts to ask. Contrary to popular belief, it's often better to ask for permission than forgiveness. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 23:58, 8 May 2019 (EDT)

::One extra thing -- even for non-controversial changes, I strongly recommend always citing reliable sources. This is helpful as they increase CP's reputability, and they are helpful for readers who want to research a certain topic further in-depth. Thanks for your edits, Teakin88. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 00:17, 9 May 2019 (EDT)

:::A very good point--yes, please include references. If you used any sources, even just for a basic understanding of the subject, they should always be cited. If you do not have any, I still suggest you do a little research, and find a good source which supports what you are writing. Common knowledge does not need to be cited (i.e. "red is a color") but when you are making an assertion which some reads may not have already known, try to cite it. It shouldn't be particularly difficult, just list the source, such as a URL, and perhaps the date you retrieved it. You are welcome to use any formal citation style, but you are not required or expected to do so. Most editors just paste the link inside of <code><nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki></code> tags after the statement being referenced. Thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:10, 9 May 2019 (EDT)

== Mormons are Christian. ==

Hi, I was reading the page about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am LDS (Mormon) and this article contains false things about the Church. It quotes Dr. James White, a Christian pastor, who is NOT MORMON and has written many anti-Mormon articles. White does not understand what the Church is about and he claims Mormons are not Christian. We are Christian! People like White and others from mainstream Christian churches misunderstand the doctrines of the LDS Church! I am a convert to the LDS church and there are SO many misconceptions about the Church, things taken out of context and distorted. It's disappointing that a site like this would perpetuate these false accusations. I would like to be able to edit the article if I could, since I am an actual Mormon. I don't know how to go about doing that.

Thank you,

Cindy

:It's understandable that you want to support your church, but why are you trying to isolate Dr. White? You've reduced his contributions to virtually nothing. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Monday, 13:04, 22 July 2019 (EDT)

::Thanks for reaching out! I am not personally an expert on Mormonism, so I might not be the right person to ask. However, I will be blunt with you: it seems that Mormonism is classified by many as cult for good reason. For example:
::*The Bible says that there is only one God (for example, see: Isaiah 43:10; 44:6; 45:5). Mormonism, however, says that:
::**there are many gods (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163)
::**There is a mother goddess (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 443)
::*The Bible teaches that God is an eternal, infinite being, who created man in His (spiritual) image, but was never himself a man. Mormonism teaches that:
::**God used to be a man on another planet, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321; Joseph Smith, Times and Seasons, vol. 5, p. 613-614; Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 345; Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333).
::**"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s..." (Doctrines and Covenants 130:22)
::**God is in the form of a man, (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 3).
::**"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see," (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345).
::Furthermore, it teaches that after you become a good Mormon, you have the potential of becoming a god (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345-347, 354), which is outright blasphemy. This sounds like what is written in Genesis 3:5: "For God knows that when you eat from [the tree] your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil," which was spoken by Satan.

::Mormonism is based on Christianity, but so is Islam. Adding new things to Christianity and abrogate parts of scripture is pretty much what cults specialize in. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 14:17, 22 July 2019 (EDT)

:Initially, this sounded rather like something not notable enough to have an article. However, the account has over 115,000 followers at present. That sounds like a high number, although of course followers can be farmed.

== Two questions/requests ==

Hello DavidB4, would you please take a look at the article [[Mainstream conservative]]? I don't know if this page is to be kept, but it would need significant reworking as it seems rather opinionated. Maybe it should be moved to the "essay" namespace?

Also, would you please keep an eye on the draft [[User:RobSteff/Slovakia]]? It seems like the editor wants to redo CP's [[Slovakia]] page, but some of the intro wording [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Slovakia&oldid=910323397 mirrors the WP article] way too closely. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:20, 18 August 2019 (EDT)

:Hi 1990'sguy!
:I rarely see [[Mainstream conservative]], [[movement conservative]], populist conservatives, etc. well defined in comparison to other types of conservatives. If the content here is accurate (I have not verified it, but have no specific reason to doubt it), I think there could be some value in keeping this. As you say, though it will of course need at the very least to be wikified, and should really have some references. It could be considered a subjective explanation and thus an essay, but I think this could be done as a standard article. We do also have an article for [[Movement conservative]]s already, so this might fit in where it is, given a little more work. Do you disagree, though?

:I will also try to keep an eye on the Slovakia article...good idea. It seems promising that this users replied to your comment about copyright/copy-and-paste. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 23:38, 18 August 2019 (EDT)

::Also, I will note that I'm not sure if Mainstream conservative should focus quite so much on Trump support/opposition. Trump certainly is getting people to show their true colors, but this seems better suited as a separate example, rather than the main point of discussion. Trump will, either in 2020 or 2024, leave office, but chances are, the concept of mainstream conservatives will continue, so I would prefer to see our article on this being more about principles than support/opposition of one person in 2016-2020. I'll post this on that article's talk page as well. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 23:53, 18 August 2019 (EDT)

== Article assessment ==

Hello DavidB4, would you please take a look at the newly-created article [[Cruz Derangement Syndrome]]? Is it notable enough to keep, and if so, would it need any other improvements? Also, while I generally like Cruz (with certain exceptions such as trade and his support for a liberal appellate judge in 2014), I know that CP "officially" takes a more critical stance toward him. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 23:20, 5 September 2019 (EDT)

:Hi 1990'sguy, ''I might step on some toes with this reply, but here goes--don't take this the wrong way.'' I was looking at that earlier, and have been thinking about it. Of course, it needs some style fixes, and some categories. As for the content, this seems more like a joking or borderline humor article/essay, rather than an encyclopedia article, but then again, [[Trump Derangement Syndrome]] does to some extent as well, but we still have that. Some people do have a very strong reflexive response to Cruz which does in many cases seem somewhat unjustified, so I think this may be valid thing to write about in some form.
:The fact of the matter is that neither of these "syndromes" are actual medical conditions or syndromes--this is hyperbole. I question whether that belongs in an encyclopedia, and particularly, the title of an article. Then again, we also use a similar tactic sometimes in reference to scandals (or should-be scandals) by throwing "gate" on the end of it (i.e. [[Obamagate]], [[Muellergate]], [[Climategate]], etc.) which can itself seem rather unprofessional. Basically, I don't like the hyperbole/clickbait title--it seems gimmicky. However, there is something here to be written about, and this will probably fit right in among the others I mentioned (and many more I didn't) --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 23:44, 5 September 2019 (EDT)

::At least in the case of TDS, that's a term that is now common among conservatives, so it's not like CP made up the term when creating the article.

He also seems to be in this to make a profit--that's not inherently bad (many talk shows and publications are for-profit endeavors, which I don't mind), but it is worth noting that by giving him some much-needed publicity, we may be helping out his profit margin.

== Requesting help with article about our ministry. ==

David, can you help me? I'm trying to edit a page on my organization, Global Media Outreach, which seems to be frequently vandalized. We didn't even add the page on us; just came across it while researching something. When I first found it it was completely negative. Some organization called Billion Bibles seems to have a criticism with us, so I edited our page and just put forth the gospel as we share it on the page so that people can make their own judgment about whether or not we have some kind of deficient version of it (we don't). Last month, the criticism reappeared as a link to the BillionBIbles organization again. They seem desperate to both link to themselves from anyone searching Conservapedia for info about us and to smear us. I don't want to publicly criticize them, just to remove their unjustified criticism of us. Thanks for any help or advice you can provide! [[User:Abranch|Abranch]] ([[User talk:Abranch|talk]]) 13:55, 16 October 2019 (EDT)abranch

:I've heard of BillionBibles before, but know almost nothing about them. However, the article on Global Media Outreach seems to only briefly mention some opposition. The linked BillionBibles page criticizes Global Media Outreach for teaching the "four spiritual laws" which they believe tends towards the "Health, Wealth, and Prosperity Gospel" and leaves out any mention of God's call (and [[predestination]], as some believe) as well as a couple other points. [https://www.billionbibles.com/four-spiritual-laws.html]. These seem like they might be valid criticisms to at least note. Our article as it was simply stated that there was some opposition to Global Media Outreach, without subjectively declaring it to be wrong, so it seems that we were already leaving it up to the reader to decide what to think. I'm also somewhat confused as to why you removed the word "some," making the page basically say that all Christians say that your organization is wrong. I've fine with some rewording or explanation, but I think it is worth keeping some mention of doctrinal disagreements. Conservapedia is read and edited by people of many different beliefs, so we generally try to present both view points and let the reader decide. It sounds like this is what you wanted, and it seems to me, that is what we are doing. Furthermore, the [[Internet_evangelism#Global_Media_Outreach|Internet_evangelism]] page (to which you deleted the link) speaks favorably of Global Media Outreach. I have reverted both of these changes, since they seem to make the problem you are speaking about worse.
:Is there something I'm missing here? If the article is being unfair to Global Media Outreach, then I would be fine with trying to balance it out--I just don't see any specific glaring issues. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 20:04, 17 October 2019 (EDT)

David, regarding your note on the 16th—you were right. There were edits on the article mentioning us that were telescoping somehow and when I tried to edit one it wouldn't let me because it affected another. I didn't understand and was out of time. So—user error; I'm afraid I'm not a regular contributor, I just try to watch out for slander on us, and this site is about the only example of it I have found on the web. Sometimes slander shows up in overt ways, sometimes subtle. Just look at Wikipedia's article on the Apostle Paul, which includes "Among the critics of Paul the Apostle was Thomas Jefferson, a Deist, who wrote that Paul was the 'first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus.' Christian anarchists Leo Tolstoy and Ammon Hennacy take a similar view." That's bad enough, because it makes the reader feel as if the page ahs an agenda; but imagine if it were the first point in the entry, as "Criticism of Global Media Outreach" is for us.

:Okay, some little mix-ups are fine. However, I'm not quite sure what you are looking to have changed. I have slightly reworded and expanded the "[[Global_Media_Outreach#Criticism_of_Global_Media_Outreach|criticisms]]" section..what do you think? I don't think we should remove this section altogether, but some changes can be made. In any case, it doesn't really sound like slander to me, as it currently stands. There are many different denominations and doctrines within the christian faith, so it is pretty normal for some to criticize others on certain controversial issues. Thanks for your input! --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 01:21, 28 October 2019 (EDT)

Why was my edit reverted? I know I messed up the citation link thing but I'm new to this. I just think harm reduction is very important. If, for some reason, someone comes here for info on LSD they should know about something that is pretty common and could ruin their experience.

Hi DavidB4, I've worked to create an eighth page here on conservapedia. On my eighth page there are 4-5 sections that need the emphasis of photo info-boxes to elaborate visually to the article from a scientific and creative stance. Images have been granted permission to me for use on conservapedia with no inhibited copyright laws per the image creators via e-mail. These e-mails were the only convenient way to gain permission because of the image owners location and time zone in Finland and in Europe with myself being in North America Pacific time. [[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] suggested for me to contact you here about you being an editor who can upload with these e-mail permissions or if I can forward permissions to you, and that you might be willing to have to contact via email with me on this page request for these uploads? Thank you. ([[User talk:Technotronical|talk]]) 23:16, 10 December 2019 (EST)

:Hi Technotronical! Sure, I can help you with that. That's great that you already got permission! Would you please forward the email chain where they gave permission to me (davidb4-public@archnet.us)? Then, I'll just need to know exactly which images it is you want uploaded (if you have the URLs to these images, that would be best), and I should be able to upload them for you. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 12:27, 11 December 2019 (EST)

:Hi DavidB4, Thank you very much for your help with these. I've sent you the 2 e-mails to (davidb4-public@archnet.us) Please let me know if you need anything else or what I can do to help.

:Slightly off topic, What was the reason that Minuteman blocked Technotronical? I honestly don't know if there's a back story. Just asking. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 19:16, 27 December 2019 (EST)
::I'm obviously not DavidB4, but I'm pretty sure the block has nothing to do with Technotronical or his edits -- the bot blocks users based on whatever criteria is programmed into it, and that means that sometimes, innocent editors are blocked. It's happened before. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 20:07, 27 December 2019 (EST)

'''Technotronical:''' I got your email and will reply soon. I have been very busy lately. Also, sorry about Minuteman blocking you without a good explanation. 
'''Progressingamerica/Technotronical:''' Minuteman blocked Technotronical because it detected numerous questionable words and phrases being posted on [[Red Hair]], [[Blockbuster Video]], and [[Let's Make a Deal]]. These were mostly sexual in nature. I am willing to provide details which are not appropriate for polite company, but not on an open talk page. There were also evidences of possible plagiarism going on with [[Red Hair]], so Minuteman didn't like that either. I have set Minuteman to "Trust" Technotronical, so it will be much less likely to issue blocks against this user in the future. 
'''Technotronical:''' I am seeing some material in [[Red Hair]] which seems to have been copied in. I see duplicate content on pages like:
*https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/melanocortin-1-receptor
*The book "Advances in Cancer Research" by Paul B. Fisher and Kenneth D. Tew
*https://www.definitions.net/definition/red+hair
*and of course, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair
Except for short, clearly labeled quotes, you should never use the exact words of other people. Additionally, you should always cite your sources, for any facts or ideas retrieved from other places. 
'''1990'sguy:''' Thanks for the quick response! Again, I've been quite busy the last few weeks. In this case it was a large number of slightly questionable things which triggered Minuteman initially. After blocking a user once, it is more likely to do it again. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 00:32, 28 December 2019 (EST)

== Giggle Corp ==

Please see these pages: [[User talk:AmericanIronMan]], [[User talk:AmericanTonyStark]], [[Giggle, Corp.]] (red link, see deletion history), and [[Giggle, Inc.]] (red link, see deletion history) You might have a better idea than me on whether this article is notable enough to have an article on. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 19:08, 2 January 2020 (EST)

:"Giggle Corp" appears to be a small business (not sure if it's registered as such), and mygiggle.us has been online for less than two months. It's definitely not a big player right now, but it wants to be. The website still seems a bit rough around the edges. Before I make a solid decision, I'm hoping that I can engage this user in conversation. I have a few questions and suggestions for them. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 20:07, 2 January 2020 (EST)

:::Well, he came back so we still can talk. It looks like he's using a proxy connection, which is technically against the rules...then again having a second account is, too. I think he stands to gain a lot more than we do, since we will quite possibly put his service on the map. That means this subject probably falls into the "not sufficiently notable" category. Still, I'm hoping to talk with him. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 20:36, 2 January 2020 (EST)

::::Thank you sir, for your kind inquiry. I am not trying to necessarily take on Google. Google has its own legitimate following. I am trying to simply offer an alternative to major companies for individuals who would like to maintain a degree of privacy. In a world that is changing so fast, I believe that one of the things that helps us preserve our freedom is our privacy. Privacy should be an option for those who would like to maintain it. It is encouraging to me that there are outlets such as "Conservapedia" that share some of these same ideals. You are correct, our website is new, however it has been in development for three years now. The first very ugly version of it was hosted on a different domain but with the same concept being the respect of privacy of user information. As far as the question you thought might be "stupid", there are no stupid questions and I am grateful for the opportunity to clear up any confusion as to any connection to that Facebook account. Let me make it clear that we are not associated with that user or his affiliates. And as to feedback regarding the website mygiggle.us, any input you have we would greatly appreciate, as we consider your time extremely valuable. Thank you for your consideration and your time. --[[User:AmericanTonyStark|AmericanTonyStark]] ([[User talk:AmericanTonyStark|TALK]]) 20:24, 3 January 2020 (EST)

And thank you for the information! I think such alternatives are valuable. In hopes it will help you out, here is some (hopefully) constructive criticism:

It's great that you are interested in protecting your users' privacy. However, I did find a few things that gave me pause. I suspect your Terms of Service and Privacy Policy might have been made from a template, so perhaps it was not you saying these things.
#Your Privacy policy says that you "may" use web beacons. Why? This is a tracking technology, which seems to go against user privacy.
#Your Privacy policy says that you ignore "Do-not-track" requests. Admittedly, most websites do. You have the standard statement that there is no established industry standard, so you choose to ignore the users' requests for privacy altogether. It's a minor concern in my mind, but it doesn't sound very privacy-friendly. You could at least make sure to set a high privacy standard for all uses, then note in your privacy policy that all users are given the same high standard of privacy, whether or not they request it.
#Your Privacy policy says that you use cookies, but again, most people do. My question (which I did not investigate) is whether or not you use them for any purposes other than logging in users. Cookies must be used if users are going to log in to accounts. However, my concern would be whether or not they are used for any other purpose. Ideally, I would like to see cookies only added to client's devices when they log in. If they don't log in, don't issue a cookie. This might be hard to make happen though--I know web design is complex.
#Your site uses Google Tag manger. If I'm trying to stay away from companies abusing my data, using an alternative site which in turn uses Google services doesn't seem like it might be a good choice.

Other issues I noticed:
*The top-left logo has a background color which does not match the banner it is on. Perhaps you could use an image without a background. That shouldn't be too difficult, but even easier than that would be to at least change the image's background color to match the banner's color, so people don't notice.
*When the "clustered search" option is used, it brings up a list of "F-Clusters." This whole interface seemed a little confusing to me. What is it? How does it work? What does it do? Perhaps a little explanation of some sort, even just in the form of a "Help" link on that search result page might be helpful.
*When looking at your Privacy Policy, there are links at the top of the page to jump to specific section. That is a common thing to have, and I like it. However, when I click on one of those, it breaks out of your site's frame and loads this webpage instead: https://app.termly.io/dashboard/website/305072/privacy-policy

And a couple more comments:
*You are using CloudFlare, which is in itself fine. They seem to offer good services. However, you might want to be aware that they have "de-platformed" numerous conservative services and websites. If they don't like you for political reasons, they will throw you out. You probably won't have issues of this sort, but you might just want to keep that in mind.
*Lastly, your Terms of Service state that anyone other than government agencies and a couple other groups of people must get written approval from you in order to link to your website. Firstly, I don't see how you expect to enforce that. Secondly, why? If low-ranked websites link to you, are are not likely to be benefited in terms of your own page rank. However, this is how the web works...if you want to get noticed, you need people, anywhere and everywhere, to link to your site. It seems odd to me, therefore, that you are trying to prohibit such linking (not that anyone is actually probably going to read that anyway).

I hope your service can succeed! --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:05, 4 January 2020 (EST)
::Thank you for your timely and helpful response. I have to say, you are obviously knowledgeable and thorough, and your input is greatly appreciated. So, Thank You again. I have reviewed your comments regarding the company’s privacy policy (and terms and conditions) and agree with you on every point. I have gone through your list point by point though I still have a few changes to make. I have revised the privacy policy according to the points you recommended. I made the policy using a template and the assistance of termly.io, and there was a point in which I was prompted to answer the question, “Do you want to allow people to link to your website?” At that time, I thought there would be more protection for the site if people did not link to it. As time went on and development of the site continued, I came to the same conclusion as you did, that I would like people to link to the site. My mistake was that I had not returned to my Terms and Conditions to change this. If it wasn’t for you it would have been some time before I would have gone back and reviewed it. --[[User:AmericanTonyStark|AmericanTonyStark]] ([[User talk:AmericanTonyStark|TALK]]) 18:21, 7 January 2020 (EST)

:::Okay, that sounds good--thanks! When choosing a service to use, I typically dig into the service's info some before making a decision. I know that tends to be unusual--most people don't bother to read the TOS, Privacy Policy, and other info. So, it probably isn't a big deal to have a few minor issues of these sorts, as long as you are disclosing everything you need to. Building a web service like this is a pretty big undertaking, so it's easy for a few unimportant things to slip through the cracks.
:::I figured that you probably were using a template or builder for the TOS and PP. It makes sense to do. If you have the time and interest, you could also go so far as to provide short, standard English section summaries. So for example, the section on cookies could perhaps be summarized "We use cookies to keep you logged in. We do not use them to monitor your behavior." I've seen this in some such legal disclosures, so that the full legal jargon is still there, but a simple explanation is also provided. Again though, not many people read those, so it may not be worth your time at this point.
:::In regard to your initial question (whether you can create a page on Conservapedia about your service), it's not me intent to string you along and waste your time. To be clear, I don't think that at this time your service is "notable" enough to warrant this. An encyclopedia is intended to be a collection of public knowledge, not an index of things people probably know nothing about. However, I think with some time and effort, it can soon qualify.
:::There is one other thing I'd like to tell you, but not on a public page such as this. You don't at all need to, but would you be willing and able to email me at davidb4-public@archnet.us ? (This way, you don't need to publicly post your address.) If you prefer not to, that's fine.

Yeah, I was looking at that one a little bit earlier...I'm not as sure what to say about it. It's an article, which they put in userspace--that's odd.

== New article requests ==

Hello DavidB4, looking through your TAR removals, I noticed that several red links to what should be obvious articles do not have an article. For example, [[Water cycle]] and [[Nitrogen cycle]], as well as [[Cascade Range]] which I just created. If you're willing, as you do maintenance on the various articles, would you please look for red links to what a reasonable person would consider an obvious/prominent article for an encyclopedia? I'm not asking you to create them, but just to document them so that every obvious encyclopedia search has an article. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 19:57, 6 January 2020 (EST)

== Image upload requests... ==

Hi DavidB4, can you see if you can upload any of the images I requested into files? ([[Conservapedia:Image upload requests#Please_convert_the_following_images_into_files|this section]]) I'm really hoping that all the permissions are met so that they can be uploaded, as many of the images are meant for contributing to the [[Conservapedia]] pages on nominees for the upcoming 2020 elections. Thanks! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]] ([[User talk:Liberaltears|talk]]) 3:59, 27 January 2020

:It looks like none of these images are being made freely available for reuse. I can try to check each one individually (a time consuming process) to see if any of them seem to allow reuse with restrictions. That will take some time though, and I'm currently busy doing that on a set of requests made prior to yours. Since some of these people are politicians, I suspect that you could find freely available images of them on places like Flickr and Wikimedia commons. If such images exist and are suitable, we really should try to use those. If you did, I could upload those quickly. Otherwise, (if no suitable copies are freely available) I can slowly work my way through this list. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:45, 27 January 2020 (EST)

== Cropping down some images... ==

For these three images ([[:File:Kyrsten Sinema.jpg]], [[:File:Gary Peters.jpg]], and [[:File:Senator Gretchen Whitmer.jpg]]) that you uploaded, can you see if you can crop them down so that only the head and part of the shoulders are part of the image and that the resulting dimensions are that of a portrait, similar to how most [[Conservapedia]] images for politicians are? For the first and last one, if you crop them, the hand gesture can be cropped out.

== Question about previous image upload request for Charles A. Halleck ==

Hi DavidB4, I noticed that for the earlier image upload requests I added, you skipped the one for [[Charles A. Halleck]] ([https://bioguideretro.congress.gov/Home/MemberDetails?memIndex=H000081 this one]) because the "Rights and Reproductions" page stated that a reuse required expressed permission via email. However, I noticed that a similar image for [[Sam Rayburn]] from the same website (history.house.gov) ([https://history.house.gov/Collection/Detail/29447?ret=True this one]) was reused as a file on Wikipedia ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Samuel_Taliaferro_Rayburn.jpg here]) with the licensing saying "public domain" because it is a work of the federal government. Therefore, doesn't that mean that the image request I added for Charles Halleck can be uploaded as well because it is also part of a collection of the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] just like the one for Sam Rayburn? Thanks! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]] ([[User talk:Liberaltears|talk]]) 18:17, 6 March 2020 (EST)

:That's a good question--had I seen wikipedia's page first, I probably would had assumed it was fine. However, if you look at the source page, it says that "''Sam Rayburn had his portrait painted by British artist Douglas Chandor shortly after his election as Speaker.''" This means that the paining was ordered by Rayburn himself, not the federal government, and painted by an independent painter, not a federal employee. Unless I am missing something, this does not sound like Public Domain to me. Furthermore, the source says that in order to reuse the image, you must contact them to request permission. [https://history.house.gov/About/Rights-and-Reproduction/]
:Images default into public domain some time after the author's death (90 years, I think) but we have not reached that yet. I would like to say we can use it, but I don't see any legal basis to do so, unless we fill out the form asking for permission (which you are welcome to do). --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 13:45, 7 March 2020 (EST)

== Two questions ==

Thank you for the notice. I had a look at some of the pages in your post and the [[Help:List of Templates]] page has already shown me that in future, I could use a template when I am adding a quote to an article. I have two questions. 
1. I read [[Conservapedia:How Conservapedia Differs from Wikipedia]] and on the second point on that page: I recently edited the Wikipedia article for Witching Hour and I copied the information I added there for the witching hour sub-section on [[Witch]] on this website. Are the Wikipedia administration likely to have an issue with this?
2. I wouldn't mind knowing good Christian websites to use as references for adding information to articles on Conservapedia. I know of a few such as [[The Christian Post]], Gospel Herald, Christian Today, [[Christianity Today]] and the [[Creation Ministries International]] website. But if there is any more good websites, that would the selection of websites I source from. I'm personally trying, (if I can help it) to use Christian websites in particular because those websites seem likely to be the ones that Wikipedia will have a [[liberal bias]] against. Thanks. --[[User:StFrancisThames|StFrancisThames]] ([[User talk:StFrancisThames|talk]]) 20:51, 10 March 2020 (EDT)

:# In this case, you own the right to that text, so it is okay to copy it over. We prefer not to just publish duplicate content which is also on WP, but doing this occasionally, and especially in small amounts is fine. Just make sure you don't copy any edits or additions from other WP users, and it should be fine.
:# Good question...There are many, but it depends what kind of content you are looking for. For example, answersingenesis.org and icr.org offer some great information in regard to science and history. I would be cautions of Christianity Today though, as it seems they sometimes are promoting things which don't exactly align with scripture. If you are looking for information on current events, wnd.com and breitbart.com can be good resources. These are not purely christian sites, but they are generally favorable towards Christianity and christian values. We also have a page with a bunch more links, although its organizational style might need a little work: [[Conservative_links#Conservative_Organizations]]. Do any of these help?

::Hello again. Thank you for your help and sorry for taking my time to reply to you. After editing for a while, my current concern is perhaps not so much my ability to find sources but my ability to translate my research onto pages in quality typed English. I don't like to copy word-for-word what a source says because of copyright and any other applicable reasons but I wonder if my use of thesaurus websites is creating weird sentences. For example, I found [https://www.christianpost.com/news/millennials-most-likely-to-fact-check-sermons-barna-study-finds.html this source] to use for the [[Millennial]] page but before I clicked the "Save Page" button, I wondered if saying that Millenials were "surelier to verify claims of taught moral messages" was strange wording. As I type this, it doesn't seem so bad, but I think there might be a worse example in my editing history. I remember in English class when I was in high school, I wrote "units of motor vehicles" for creative writing and the teacher thought my language was "scientific". Do you have any thoughts about this? Thanks.--[[User:StFrancisThames|StFrancisThames]] ([[User talk:StFrancisThames|talk]]) 18:36, 19 March 2020 (EDT)

:::Hi again, that's no problem at all! That wording does sound a little odd to me, and without context, I'm not quite sure what it is trying to say. The thing that stands out to me is "surelier." The word "surely" already implies an absolute, so adding "er" to the end doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If it is already an absolute, how can it then be somehow more absolute? However, context can help with such confusion to some extent. Likewise for "units of motor vehicles," without the context, I don't really know exactly what you are trying to say. The word "Units" can be used when counting ("There are 17 units of ___"), when referring to s specific device ("This unit seems to be operating normally.") or in reference to a group ("The soldiers had a long day ahead of them so the unit went to bed early"). If you are not sure about word usage, maybe look at a dictionary, and see what t lists for the first definition. If it isn't the first or second definition, maybe try a different word. If it isn't in the dictionary you are using, also try a different word. I know it's not perfect, and it is a real hassle to do, but it might help.

== Question about image uploads... ==

Hi DavidB4, I have a question about image uploads regarding the types of images that can be uploaded. If an image is on, say, a political candidate's personal website and there's no specification that it can't be used, can it be uploaded into a file here on [[CP]]? And what about images on a political candidate's personal [[Facebook]] page? Thanks! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 11:13, 11 April 2020 (EDT)

:For images from a political candidate's website, we can probably use them under the Fair Use clause, but that tends to be a grey area. This is pretty much the same for their Facebook pages, although from Facebook, it can be more difficult to provide proper attribution. Unfortunately, it seems like "Fair Use" claims fall in a grey area, and there have been lawsuits for claiming "Fair Use" when the author disagrees. We can probably use images from both of these, but it would be preferable to get alternative images with clearly open licensing when possible. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 22:25, 12 April 2020 (EDT)

== Some questions... ==

Hello DavidB4, I have some questions. First, about [[User_talk:DavidB4#Hiding_a_revision_from_view...|this previous topic]], does the oversight function work now? And even if it still may not work, is it possible to simply delete the log details for the revisions like [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] and [[User:Wikignome72|Wikignome72]] have done before? Second, it's been over a month since the preview option for editing works the way it has always been prior to when it became as dysfunctional as the 112th United States Congress. Is there a specific problem regarding that that needs to be resolved, and will it be fixed anytime soon? Third, did you see [[Conservapedia:Community_Portal#McSally_Derangement_Syndrome|this small section]] I added in [[CP:COMPORT]]? I'm mostly hoping for a reply from a sysop or assistant sysop just to get an idea on whether the topic is a great idea or not. Fourth, about [[CP]] settings, I noticed that in the "Preferences", a set preferred gender would be public information, although I can't figure out how the details can be accessed by anyone going on this site, and I'm kind of curious about where the information is. Fifth, about [[Special:SpecialPages|special pages]], is there a source code for them likewise for normal pages? In addition, I noticed that for all [[CP]] pages whose URL that follows as "conservapedia.com/index.php?title=(etc.)" can't normally be internally linked, although they can be internally linked on special pages. Thanks! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 22:09, 4 May 2020 (EDT)

:Good questions.
#It does not seem to be fixed. I cannot delete log details, either...I get an error when I try. Something appears to be a little broken. You could try asking one of them to try doing it, and see if it works for them.
#I also am having difficulty with preview. This may be be a side effect of the poor server responsiveness we've been having lately. Andy is trying to resolve that problem. I'm hoping once that is fixed, preview will resume working reliably as well. I can't say for sure, though...I don't have access to the hosting server.
#I had not seen it. I posted a short reply.
#I don't think this info is deliberately published anywhere. However, you can reference that info with something like <code><nowiki>{{GENDER:DavidB4|male|female|unknown}}</nowiki></code> you will see: {{GENDER:DavidB4|male|female|unknown}}
#I don't think there is page code available for these special pages. They are generated dynamically by the server. Of course, there is still HTML and CSS code, and some scripts, as with any page on the web (in most browsers, press F12 to see that). I know that's not what you are looking for, though.
#I've noticed that issue too, so I just make those external links. I don't know why it happens, but I don't have the ability to do troubleshooting on the server, so I just work around the problem.

:Also, another problem. [[Special:Contributions/NoMoreFakeNews|This user]] is edit warring on [[Michael Steele|this page]], adding in information that is quite unnoteworthy (Steele may currently be an [[anti-Trump]] commentator, although that is much less important than his previous [[conservative]] leadership; thus, the former [[RNC]] chairman can somewhat be compared to [[Barry Goldwater]]). The user first added info that was uncited, and after I reverted it, he then reverted that (edit warring), and in the description then only provided a source URL while falsely accusing me of being a [[liberal]]. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 01:33, 13 May 2020 (EDT)

::I noticed the Freddy Kita issue, and figured I would give this editor a few days to reply. This should be dealt with, though, so I did just add a note and a deletion template. In regard to Michael Steele, I think this issue might be worth noting somewhere in the article, perhaps under the "Opposition to Donald Trump" section. While it is only a small exchange of words, it does demonstrate his opposition to Trump and Trump's supporters, and his "establishment" mindset. McConnell did make a good point...historically, past presidents have not criticized their successors in public, out of respect for the office and their colleagues. That is, until Trump came along. Now for some reason it is perfectly acceptable for them to go around speaking ill of a successor. Obama is once again breaking that unwritten rule with a vengeance. When McConnell called him out for it, Steele attacked him. This means that Steele is so hateful towards Trump that he supports a past president attacking a sitting president, in contrary with standard professional behavoir. Considering the fact that even McConnell isn't always as conservative as we would like (although he has been a good supporter of Trump), this is an interesting exchange.

:::Ah, I see what you mean. I initially asserted that the information wasn't noteworthy largely because Steele's current influence as a [[Never Trumper]] doesn't mean very much compared to him previously being a [[conservative]] leader of the [[Republican party]]. I also noticed in the [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Michael_Steele&action=history page history here] that despite Steele having been [[anti-Trump]] for about four years now, no other CP editors really bothered to mention much about it, not even [[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]]. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 12:19, 13 May 2020 (EDT)

::::Yes, in the grand political landscape, it is rather insignificant. I just think it might be worth noting that fact about Steele himself, as a reference of character (or lack thereof).

:::::::You're welcome DavidB4! Also, I don't know if you saw it, but there was a wave of vandalism earlier today that I had to deal with, and while [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] did block two one vandal and remove the username of another, [[Special:Contributions/Adam72|this presumed sockpuppet]] has yet to be blocked, and I created [[Template:Protection request|this template]] as well as [[:Category:Protection requests|this category]] out of the fact that at least two pages were being vandalized and edit warred over by idiotic trolls. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|Just say no to quid pro joe!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Free Roger Stone!]]''''' 19:56, 16 May 2020 (EDT)

Yes, I noticed some of it. I wasn't sure if Adam72 was actually trying to do something productive, or just vandalizing. It certainly wasn't a helpful edit. As for the protection template and category, I would caution not to go too far in that direction. Perhaps a few pages more should be protected, but not many. Protection can prevent vandals from attacking one specific page, but most of the time, they will just vandalize something else if they can't do that page. It doesn't stop the problem, just relocates it. Meanwhile, legitimate editors can't edit those pages either. Page protection has been a significant problem for me, since many pages have been put under infinite protection either because they were vandalized once or twice, or they just seemed like things someone didn't think would need to edited again soon. The only thing harder to get than page protection, is getting a page unprotected. I have lists of pages and files which I want to edit, but cannot, because they are locked to the full administrator level. I'm not saying that page protection doesn't have its place, just that it should be used very sparingly. I also then to think that when a page is protected in response to vandalism, it should have an expiration date. Maybe 6 months, maybe even 2 or more years, but I think the default in most cases should be that they ultimately become unlocked again. We can't protect every page that might be vandalized and still expect our content to stay up to date. 
Pardon the rant...I think this can be used beneficially, but it should be done sparingly. This is in large part why I made Minuteman. It can deal with vandalism wherever it occurs, by blocking the offending user and reverting the unwanted edits. However, at Andy's request, it has been offline recently to slightly reduce server load while we sort out that problem. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 20:53, 16 May 2020 (EDT)

:Almost four years ago, we discussed this problem. Andy, several admins, several SysOps (including myself) and several other editors all agreed that we had a problem with too many pages being locked. Andy suggested that I create a category, which we could use to tag pages which had no real need to be locked, so they could be easily identified and unlocked.

== Can't figure out how to fix [[Template:Infobox officeholder/Personal data]]... ==

Hi DavidB4, can you help me fix [[Template:Infobox officeholder/Personal data]], specifically with the "Military Service" section? The only possible way that I could get an idea of how to improve it was to examine the source code of [[Template:Officeholder|this template]], and the only way to check whether the modified version works or not was to open a new tab, open up [[CP]], and enter in a page where the template is being transcluded into ''in addition to'' the "Military Section" section (I checked via the [[Don Bolduc]] page). A while ago, I asked [[User:TerryH|TerryH]] on his talk page [[User_talk:TerryH#Template_usage_help...|here]], but he never responded. Only very recently did I just figure out the exact problem only with what was wrong, and I asked Andy ([[User_talk:Aschlafly#Improvising_a_protected_template|here]]) to do a very specific edit on the then-protected template, but Andy just unprotected it for me to to edit, and I got somewhat frustrated yesterday trying to get everything to work well. The colored cell surrounding the text would initially work, but wouldn't extend all the way across to the right. I then fixed that, but couldn't remove the extraneous pipe character in front of "Military service". Right now, I just want to the increase the font size for "Military Service" without also effective the font size for the details below and remove the unnecessary pipe. Do you think you can help me with that? The revision history [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_officeholder/Personal_data&action=history here] might help give an idea as to what I was intending to do but made mistakes on.

== DavidB4-bot replacing ’ with ' ==

Hi DavidB4, I'm just curious, why is your bot replacing ’ with ' when it comes to apostrophes? --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|Just say no to quid pro joe!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Free Roger Stone!]]''''' 21:44, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

:It's a minor thing, but the ’ is an [[ASCII]] character, while the ' is [[unicode]]. When it comes to fonts, the ASCII apostrophe is sometimes displayed oddly by some software, while the unicode one typically looks as it should. For example, Apple and Microsoft differ in how this is displayed, but they agree on how the unicode one is shown. Therefore, the unicode one is generally favored. Some search engine spiders allegedly prefer unicode, thus ranking pages which use the unicode ones higher (of course, search engines try not to tell all their secrets though, so it's hard to be sure) than pages using the ASCII version. I know they look very similar, but if you look at [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Maggie_Hassan&action=history edits when this change is made], you will see that a few [[Byte|bytes]] have been removed from the page. This is because unicode uses a smaller reference number for it than ASCII does. Here is an article which touches on the topic, in case you want a better explanation.: [https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html]
:I don't mind if the "wrong" (ASCII) one is used, but since the bot is semi-automated anyway, I figure it might as well change them when it notices them. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 23:07, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

::Ah, interesting. I tend to prefer using ‘’ and “” over <nowiki>''</nowiki> and "" respectively largely because the former apostrophe/quotation marks specify which to use for beginning and which for closing. Also, speaking of byte count, why does – and — take up three bytes each? And how come wikifying a link (adding two brackets on each side = +4) sometimes only nets +3 bytes in an edit, as seen [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Mitch_McConnell&diff=1626725&oldid=1626724 here] ([https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Mitch_McConnell&action=history page history])? --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|Just say no to quid pro joe!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Free Roger Stone!]]''''' 23:23, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

:::Yes, it seems to me that those should be the standard ones to use, but they are not. Unless everyone agrees to make the ASCII characters uniform between platforms, or adds more unicode characters, it looks like we are stuck with this issue.
:::Dashes and hyphens are each a single (Unicode, I think) digit code. Therefore, although the binary bits are different, there are the same number of them since the same character size is allocated either way.
:::As for the four brackets only adding 3 bytes...I don't know, that is odd. I'd never noticed that before, but now you've got me wondering. Typically one character takes up one byte, so I would generally expect a byte count like that to be due to another character (such as a space) being removed. Since that doesn't seem to be happening here, I don't think I have an explanation. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 00:58, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

== Restricting editing to "autoconfirmed" doesn't deter vandalism ==

Hi again DavidB4, I just thought it's important to note that protecting pages to the "autoconfirmed" level doesn't seem to prevent vandalism at all. After, all, [[Wikipedia|this page]] was still blanked by a troll who had created their account just the minute previous. Is there any way to raise the bar in order for users to be "autoconfirmed"? Or is there a protection level that would allow editing only if users have any additional tags such as SkipCaptcha? That way, all genuine editors who are granted a "SkipCaptcha" can edit such pages. Thanks! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|Just say no to quid pro joe!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Free Roger Stone!]]''''' 13:02, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

:By the way, do you think there's any chance that Andy might grant me additional tags anytime soon? Sometimes I'm able to revert vandalism caused by idiotic trolls before any other editor gets to it, so a "Block" tag could be useful there. Also, [[Special:Contributions/Jackmann|this troll]] that I just mentioned hasn't been blocked yet. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|Just say no to quid pro joe!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Free Roger Stone!]]''''' 13:20, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

== Anti-vandalism suggestion ==

Hi DavidB4, I have a suggestion that could potentially be effective in stopping vandalism. You mentioned [[Conservapedia:Image_upload_requests#Request_to_change_title_of_article|here]] that one of your bots is set to inform you via email whenever the move or delete template is used on [[CP]]. Is it possible to set that bot to alert you such that an edit is made by any user who, when published that edit, had less than 100 previous edits? That way, new accounts created merely to vandalize this site can quickly be spotted. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|Just say no to quid pro joe!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Free Roger Stone!]]''''' 01:49, 7 June 2020 (EDT)

:Hi, so you are thinking that anytime a user with less that 100 contributions makes an edit, I get an email? If I understood you correctly, that seems like it would get very noisy. If I was was able to check on every one of those, it could help. However, that seems like something which would just become too time consuming. In any case, I'm currently having difficulty pulling a user's edit count using a bot, so I can't base anything on this statistic, right now. I am hoping to find a way to do it at some point, but haven't had the time to troubleshoot the issue. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 17:43, 7 June 2020 (EDT)

== Questions about Conservapedia functions, etc. ==

Hi DavidB4, I have some questions about the [[Conservapedia]] system regarding some functions whose associated rights I don't yet have. I was reading this [[Special:ListGroupRights|special page on user rights]] and it said that anyone with the "protect" tag can edit cascade-protected pages. So if understand correctly, does it mean, for example, if Template:A transcluded into Template:B and the latter was fully protected with the "cascading" option set on, then anyone with the "protect" tag can edit Template:A so long as it isn't fully protected itself? Also, about the oversight ability to hide usernames, is the action reversable? [[Conservapedia:Oversight|This page]] says that revisions hidden through oversighting can be restored by a developer, but does this apply to usernames, and what counts as a developer? I had asked Karajou [[User_talk:Karajou#Hiding_revisions_on_two_CP_pages|here]] a month ago regarding trying to hide the vandalized revisions left by the two troll accounts who posted the links to obscene websites, but he said that he couldn't restore the usernames in any way. In addition, about "rollback", is there anything special about getting the tag? From what I know in terms of having reverted messes left by vandals, all one really needs to do is click on the most recent non-vandalized revision, click "Edit", and save the page. Thank you DavidB4!

Also, taking a cue from the way you changed the font color for your signature, I was finally able to figure out the correct formatting to change the font color on [[United States Senate election in Maine, 2020|this page]], and I do appreciate all the help you offered [[Conservapedia:Community_Portal#Changing_font_colors...|here]]! —[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May Dataclarifier be well!]]''''' 23:29, 17 June 2020 (EDT)

:Hi Liberaltears,
:In regard to protect, that is essentially correct. Any content which is given cascading protection and then included on another page, will carry that protection with it. So if Template:A is given cascading protection, then it is included on Template:B, PageA, and PageB, all three would inherit the same protection as Template:A. This can be problematic in many cases, so it is rarely used. The "Protect" privilege enables the option to add protection to a page, but only to a level which that user can still edit it. So I have the "protect" tag, but I do not have the "Administrator" tag. I can protect pages to the next level down (Autoconfirmed) and I can edit such protection as well. However, I cannot protect a page to the Administrator level, since I do not have that tag. I also cannot edit any page protected to that level, or change that protection.
:Oversight has never really worked for me. However, my understanding is that those with the "Oversight" tag can hide usernames and edits, but not restore them. I believe there is a way to restore this later, but I don't know who can do that. Perhaps only Andy is able. You might be able to learn more about it here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Oversight]
:[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Rollback Rollback] makes it a one-click operation to revert a series of unwanted edits to a page. It adds a link to the Recent Changes page, which can be clicked to revert all edits by that user to that page.

== Question about [[:File:Andrew Romanoff.jpg]] ==

Hi DavidB4, I noticed in [[:File:Andrew Romanoff.jpg|this file]] you uploaded that the page apparently doesn't exist, with a "Create" option appearing on the top right. I'm just curious, how is that possible? Usually when a file is uploaded, the action is listed in the revision history of the page, though there apparently isn't a revision history for the file. I also noticed that on the bottom of the page, it doesn't say how many times the page was accessed. Does this has to do with the fact that the page is empty in terms of bytes? Thanks! —[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May Dataclarifier be well!]]''''' 12:42, 17 July 2020 (EDT)

:Well that's odd. Yes, I suppose it must not count as a page if there is no text. I always add text to uploads though, so I don't know how that happened.

== Question ==

Hi DavidB4, there's something I ought to ask you about; is there any way for you to email [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]]? The reason I'm asking this is because I have replied to his questions and issues but he doesn't respond back most of the time, and I have no idea if he ever sees what I say or not. After he created [[R. Harmon Drew, Sr.|this page]] that contained invisible characters which were encoded into the URL, BHathorn created [[R._Harmon_Drew,_Sr.|this duplicate page]] asking what happened. This type of problem was already discussed on [[CP:IUR]] after he had added a move request there, but I'm not sure if he saw our responses or not. If you can email him, can you please tell him that I answered his question the best I could on that duplicate page? I saw that he has made edits after my response, so I'm not sure if BHathorn may have just forgotten to check back on that.

::I still think these 500 error issues (in addition to a "401 administrator" error that also popped up earlier this morning) may be the result of a DOS attack on this site.

Personally, I was worried that the reason I was blocked off from accessing my user subpage initially may have had something to do with being a bit too incessant with pleading for upload rights to Andy, or maybe it had something to do with the nasty disputes with RobSmith/VargasMilan/Shobson20, but it could've very well been hackers who are deranged commies. —[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May Dataclarifier be well!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Don't be an anti-Catholic zealot!]]''''' Monday, 10:28, 10 August 2020 (EDT)

:::Conservative said [[User:Conservative/mail#These_500_Errors_are_intolerable|here]] that he thinks the server issues could've been caused by high web traffic. I really have doubts over that, because if such high web traffic was the case, then a 500 ISE would show up, blocking people from accessing this site. Thus the server then has no viewers to handle with and the problem shouldn't take half an hour to resolve. Besides, I haven't seen page views climb exceedingly; even while I've been working really hard (as in possibly sometimes spending 90-100 minutes at a time on a computer screen) on [[United_States_Senate_elections,_2020|this page]] with many edits, the page views hasn't jumped by more than 1,000 in the past few days.

::::::::Interesting. Okay, I have a couple more another harebrained suggestions. If you want, first try clearing your PC's DNS cache. On Windows, you can do this by opening Command Prompt, and typing in "ipconfig /flushdns" (without the quotes) and pressing enter. If you still can't access CP after that, next try setting a custom DNS server in your operating system or browser. Since the process differs from one browser to another, it might be easiest to set it in your operating system. If this doesn't work, it's easy to undo. [https://pchelp.ricmedia.com/set-custom-dns-servers-windows/ Here is a guide] for setting it up on Windows. I would suggest using Cloudflare for this purpose (1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1) although there and other good options out there, like OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220). Once set, clear your system's DNS cache again, and see if that works. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 22:49, 28 August 2020 (EDT)

:::::::::I tried the first suggestion, but it didn't work. Regarding the second idea, it was somewhat confusing, and I'm not sure if I did it right, but it didn't work either. I'm just wondering though, why would such an error even occur in the first place? That type of problem never happened for me before the server problems that started showing up around four weeks ago. —[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May Dataclarifier be well!]] | [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|Don't be an anti-Catholic zealot!]]''''' Saturday, 23:19, 28 August 2020 (EDT)

Yeah, sorry about that...it's not a very intuitive process. They don't expect average users to be tinkering with that. 
The answer to your question is somewhat complicated, but I will do my best to explain it. When CP changed over to its new server, the website's IP address changed. So, the domain name record was updated. This means that when you try going to "conservapedia.com," your browser retrieves the new server's IP, rather than the old one. It then connects to that IP address, and the average user is none the wiser that anything has changed. However, the domain name system is a complicated network of servers and caches, so it can take a little time for everyone to get the update. There are also safeguards in place to prevent anyone from being out of date for too long, typically. My thinking here is that perhaps your computer still has the old IP address, rather than the new one. This could happen for a few reasons, but realistically shouldn't happen for anywhere near this much time. Theoretically, your computer itself could have the old address cached. This means that it wouldn't even bother to ask anyone where to look for "conservapedia.com," but rather just go to where it always goes (which has recently become incorrect). However, there is an expiration date attached to that DNS record, so typically within a week, your computer will decide it is time to go ask someone else if the site has moved. (We forced it to do this, by clearing your DNS cache.) It gets an update by sending a request to your local DNS server, which is typically run by your internet service provider (ISP). Your ISP then in turn looks up that information from more authoritative source of information (ultimately an internet root server, although they may be intermediary servers). So, if your computer isn't caching the old DNS record longer than it should, my thinking was that perhaps it is getting a stale record from your upstream DNS server. That is why I suggested trying a different DNS server. 
Here's another idea: Try connecting to Conservapedia's IP address, rather than domain name: https://96.125.173.110/Main_Page
Your browser will give your a security warning or error message, because the HTTPS encryption isn't designed to work without a domain name. Most browsers still give you an option to continue to the site, although Chrome might not. I also would '''not''' recommend logging in to your account this way, since your credentials could be intercepted by malicious individuals online. However, there is no harm in just connecting, to see if you still get the error you have been getting. You should be getting the exact same site either way, just with the TLS encryption broken in this case. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 02:03, 29 August 2020 (EDT)

:Oh, okay. Just wondering though, why would I get a "403 - Forbidden" pop-up that says I "don't have permission to access this resource"?

::If you are connecting to the new CP server, well, you shouldn't be getting it.

::::The current CP DNS record expires every 60 minutes. So, within one hour, you should start being directed to the new site, unless the old DNS record was different.

::::::It should be fine. What your browser is warning you about is that an HTTPS encrypted connection can be created, but it can't verify that the site is actually who you think it is. HTTPS only works as intended when domain names are used, so replacing the name with its IP address causes it to partially break. So, a security exception in the case will apply only to this IP address (which you can verify is correct by using nslookup on the conservapedia.com record - type "nslookup conservapedia.com" in command prompt to see what IP address you should be using), allowing your browser to connect with the server specified even though it cannot automatically verify it is who you think it is. The only time such a security exception will come into play again is if you again visit this IP address directly in your web browser. The only danger is that you could potentially be going to the wrong address, and end up on a malicious website instead of the one you intend to reach. It's up to you though--you don't need to do this, it just would help us make use that you are getting the 403 error from the new server, rather than the old. If you're not comfortable with it, that's fine. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 14:29, 29 August 2020 (EDT)

== Minuteman ==

Hi DavidB4, I'm just curious, do you have [[User:Minuteman|Minuteman]] actively set up on CP right now? I have noticed before that the bot would automatically block any user account that has an inappropriate username or vandalizes pages to a certain degree. There has recently been some trolls who have either created accounts under foul names or vandalized pages (particularly [[Special:Contributions/LTtheasswipe|this idiot]] who isn't yet blocked while I'm typing this) that weren't blocked by Minuteman as vandals in the past have.

:Hi Liberaltears, Minuteman detected the site's instability a couple weeks ago, and shut down. I have been keeping it offline since then, while the site was being migrated to better hosting. Now that the site seems stable on this new server, I expect to be starting up Minuteman quite soon.

::Hi Punish China, it seems there were a few things Minuteman didn't like.

== Another question ==

Hi DavidB4, I noticed that sometimes when entering CP, a title headline would pop up on the Main Page when such normally doesn't happen. Does it have anything directly to do with the recent errors? Thank you! —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>Liberaltears</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Tuesday, 23:58, 28 September 2020 (EDT)

:"title headline"? Sorry, I'm not certain what you mean. Could you clarify? --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 02:09, 29 September 2020 (EDT)

::So on the top of almost every page, the page title is automatically displayed, though this isn't the case for the Main Page.

::::I probably should've been more specific, as I'm referring to the headline that shows up right above the contents/tools of a page, whether it's a special page, a content page, its source, history, etc. For example, when typing this response on this section, I see "Editing User talk:DavidB4 (section)". If I go to my contributions page, the headline simply says "User contributions". A headline doesn't show up for the Main Page under normal circumstances. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>Liberaltears</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Tuesday, 13:30, 29 September 2020 (EDT)

:::::Oh, okay. I misunderstood, so thanks for clarifying. Since we have a problem with data queries on the site right now, my best guess would be that yes, this is probably related to that problem.

== Webserver allowing spam ==

I noticed that you are blocking lots of IPs, why? And, what is with the "Webserver allowing spam"? - [[User:Punish China]]

:I believe it's because those IP addresses are being used by recent vandals, possibly to evade autoblocks. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>Liberaltears</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Wednesday, 19:46, 30 September 2020 (EDT)

::Conservapedia's policy is that users must connect from their own IP addresses. Therefore, connecting to CP from any one of those IPs without permission from us would be a breach of that policy.

== Question about cascading protection ==

Hi DavidB4, I'm just curious about the "cascading" option for page protections, is it possible for non-administrators with the "protect" tag like you to use it when semi-protecting pages? Thanks! —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>'''LT'''</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Thursday, 00:18, 15 October 2020 (EDT)

:Yes, it is available for any protection level. Of course, "semi-protection" seems to do nothing, but oh well. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 01:47, 15 October 2020 (EDT)

::Okay, that's very helpful because there should then be a way to indirectly protect pages so that only anyone with the "protect" and/or "Administrator" tag can edit them; if say, Page A and Page B need to be protected as such, then Page C can be created with "<nowiki></nowiki>" for its content and then be protected with the cascading option turned on. In that case, at least based off the [[Special:ListGroupRights|listed user rights]], editing Page A and Page B would be limited to those with the "protect" or "Administrator" tag. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>'''LT'''</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Thursday, 08:36, 15 October 2020 (EDT)

:::Yes, in theory. That has sometimes been done for templates, so for example, anything with the homosexuality template gets cascading protection from that template. However, the only two things we can currently base our protection on are "autoconfimed" and "administrator" tags. Autoconfirm is unfortunately not working as intended for some reason, so realistically, the only locking option we have is restricting editing to "Administrator" tags. I wonder if it might be possible to add protection limiting editing to those with the "Edit" tag also, but I don't know if it can or would be done. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 13:27, 15 October 2020 (EDT)

::::So are you referring to pages that have Template:Homosexuality transcluded into them? From my understanding with the way cascading protection works, if the template is protected with cascading turned on, only templates/pages that transclude ''into'' the template would be affected, not pages that have Template:Homosexuality transcluded in them (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, regarding changing the number of protection levels, I think either Andy and/or the webmaster would know about it. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>'''LT'''</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Thursday, 13:52, 15 October 2020 (EDT)

== Why you undoed my edit ==
I was redirecting the page by copy+paste, then you moved automatically without doing that. So, the pages got switched, and the new page that got switched to the old page said #REDIRECT (New page), and the edit history was moved. Thus, my edit was undoed. (I had no intention to cause trouble) Am I right? --[[User:United States|United States]] ([[User talk:United States|talk]]) 17:04, 3 December 2020 (EST)

:The problem is that pages are not suposed to be moved using cut+paste. The edit history of pages must also be moved, along with the text. Otherwise, you are essentailly telling the world that you wrote the entire page, even though you didn't. I didn't think there were any subsiquent edits to the new page, so I deleted it to make room for the original, then moved that with its edit hitory to the new name. If there were subsiquent edits to the new page you created, they were unfortunately lost...I do appologize for that. I would have tried to preserve them if I had noticed. I would basically need to paste in your edits from the new page to the origianl, and include your name on the edit summary. That's that I typically do this this situation, although it's not at all ideal. Sorry for missing that! --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 17:42, 3 December 2020 (EST)

== Request for DavidB4-bot ==

Hi DavidB4, if you have the time, can you see if you can have DavidB4-bot remove any zero-width spacing from CP pages that include it, particularly BHathorn's page creations? In articles like [[Bernard Bagert, Sr.|this one]], [[Major de Pingre'|this one]], and [[Bob McFarland|this one]], it causes an extraneous spacing due to it apparently being used on the top and bottom of the page, but it's invisible property makes it hard to find and remove, and this seems to be the case with dozens and dozens of pages.

== Is this appropriate? ==

Hi,

I don't really know how to put this diplomatically, but here's my best shot...

I have been looking through Conservapedia's content and I have noticed that the vast majority of it is defending and promoting the ideology of conservatism, however, it seems to lack a lot of non-politics/conservative related content on things like aircraft, history (non-US history), geography etc. I would be happy to write these types of articles for Conservapedia, however, I am worried about them not falling into the remit of Conservapedia, could you please confirm this? Don't worry, I won't be offended if you say no...

Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|Elnencatala}}

:Hi Elnencatala, certainly feel free to write on non-political topics! I agree, the current political issues are generally well-covered, but non-political topics can sometimes be a little lacking. Of course, try to focus on topics of public interest. The areas you mentioned sound great! In fact, history was one of the topics which was initially focused on when Conservapedia was founded (although there's more to be done). If there is a reasonable expectation of some of our readers wanting information on that topic (and keep in mind, some of our readers are homeschoolers), then by all means, go for it!

== Should I use Officeholder or Dictator for [[Abdul Karim Qassem]]? ==

Just asking. --[[User:Yeschayi|Yeschayi ~ Talk!]] ([[User talk:Yeschayi|talk]]) 13:15, 28 April 2021 (EDT)

:Good question. I don't know much about him, so I don't know if I'm really qualified to answer. From the small amount of mainsteam information I've seen about him, it sounds like "Officeholder" might be more accurate, '''but''' mainstream sources notoriously like to slant their writings, so I can't say for sure. A quick web search tells me that he supposedly sat on a three-man "Revolutionary Council" which would imply he wasn't a dictator, but his actions might say otherwise. I also see a reference to him "being elected" prime minister. I don't know if that was a fair election, or a typical banana-republic "election" when he was guaranteed to "win". I would need to do a lot more research to answer those questions. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 13:25, 28 April 2021 (EDT)

Hey DavidB4. I just wanted to let you know I started a discussion about new content (Maybe a new article for it) about content on Wikipedia.

== Possibility of a citation formatting bot? ==

Hello! This is probably not the best place to discuss it but I am not aware of better places so... can we have something to automatically format a citation (such as a news article) into a proper format, such as with author name, source, date, title, url, accessed date, etc. etc.? On WP I only know to do this with the visual editor (maybe there is also a way with source editing? I do not know). I am asking because your user page says requests for automation is welcomed, so here I am :) --[[User:Luminoxius|Luminoxius]] ([[User talk:Luminoxius|talk]]) 02:33, 19 May 2021 (EDT)

:Hi, I'm certainly happy to discuss such things! So you are thinking of a tool which helps you properly format a reference before you publish it? I don't edit on WP, so I'm not familiar with how they do this. Are you thinking of bibliography formatting in general (such as [https://www.bibme.org/mla/website-citation/new BibMe], [https://www.easybib.com/mla-format/website-citation/custom EasyBib], and [https://www.mybib.com MyBib] offer) or a tool which specifically formats and fills in one of our ref templates, so you can just paste in that pre-generated template block? --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 10:56, 19 May 2021 (EDT)

::Hi, I am not entirely sure what the two scenarios are... I will use an example to show what I hope to be achievable on the site. When I cite this news https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/521425-gop-senator-writing-book-criticizing-big-tech-for-tyranny on this site, my input would be
:::<nowiki>"<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/521425-gop-senator-writing-book-criticizing-big-tech-for-tyranny</ref>"</nowiki>.
::and the link will appear in the Reference section as such, with zero formatting. When I cite this on WP, I would switch from source editing to their relatively new "visual editor" where the citation tool automatically converts the reference to
:::"Klar, Rebecca (October 16, 2020). "GOP senator writing book criticizing Big Tech for 'tyranny'". The Hill. Retrieved January 7, 2021."
::with the report title superlinked to the source. If I am to achieve the same on Conservapedia, I would need to first generate an entry in Zotero where the fields are automatically identified by the software, then output the entry to some document as bibliography, and finally copy-paste the line to <nowiki>"<ref></ref>"</nowiki>. This is so much of a hassle that I have never tried it. Apparently, such conversion is too cumbersome for not just me but most of our editors, therefore only a tiny number of references are formatted "properly", such as ref. 13 on [[Phyllis Schlafly]]. --[[User:Luminoxius|Luminoxius]] ([[User talk:Luminoxius|talk]]) 16:24, 19 May 2021 (EDT)

:::Okay, got it. Yes, Conservapedia doesn't have that visual editor feature. I do not have the ability to add/change wiki code, so I can't add something like that in. For bibliography, I typically use the offsite tool [https://www.bibme.org/mla BibMe]. That attempts to automatically grab the bibliography details from the website referenced, then prompts the user to verify/adjust/add as needed. Sometimes it does well and nothing needs to be changed. Other times it completely messes it up, and I need to manually fill in or fix the fields. Then it will give you the full bibliography text, and you can paste it into CP inside ref tags. Would that be helpful for your purpose? --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 16:37, 19 May 2021 (EDT)

::::Oh so it is not possible after all. I can see how using BibMe works. It is much like using Zotero. I will start looking for a procedure that streamlines these tools then. Thank you! --[[User:Luminoxius|Luminoxius]] ([[User talk:Luminoxius|talk]]) 17:06, 19 May 2021 (EDT)

:::::Unfortunately, no I don't think it is possible. You're right, if we could add something like that, it would probably help us start using better citations. Sorry I can't help, but good suggestion! --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 02:14, 21 May 2021 (EDT)

This article is very limited and, arguably, out-of-date. I am much minded to replace it with an article describing at least the three-to-four distinct present meanings of 'equity' that I'm aware of - most obviously stock/share-holding of public companies and, by extension, so-called 'stake-holding' in public institutions, endeavors, and enterprises.

Psircleback: Added Pulitzer, Rio home

'''Glenn Edward Greenwald''' (born March 6, 1967) is an American lawyer, journalist, columnist and author. As a columnist, Greenwald has written for ''[[Guardian (UK)|The Guardian]]'' and ''Salon'' magazine and writes on [[civil liberties]] and [[national security]] matters. Greenwald is a critic of the [[Obama]] / [[Biden]] [[police state|surveillance state]].

Greenwald was a co-founder ''The Intercept'', which he later left claiming, "The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in [[censorship]] of my own articles."<ref>https://greenwald.substack.com/p/my-resignation-from-the-intercept</ref>

When the [[Biden junta]] admitted it was [[colluding]] with [[Big Tech]] to censor [[free speech]] and violate the rights of Americans, Greenwald tweeted, "This is the union of corporate and state power, one of the classic hallmarks of [[fascism]].”<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/government-dictating-what-social-media-bans-is-tyrannical/</ref>

==Criticism==
Greenwald was criticized by Trevor Louden and Cliff Kincaid in 2013 for defending [[Julian Assange]] of [[Wikileaks]] and [[NSA]] [[whistleblower]] [[Edward Snowden]]. Greenwald has spoken at many [[Socialist]] conferences.<ref>http://www.aim.org/aim-column/glenn-greenwald-regularly-attends-marxist-leninist-conferences/</ref>

==Awards==
Greenwald was named by ''Foreign Policy'' magazine as being one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2013<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foreignpolicy.com/2013_global_thinkers/public/greenwald |title=The Leading Global Thinkers of 2013 |publisher=Foreign Policy |date= |accessdate=2014-06-29}}</ref>. For the Snowden revelations ''The Guardian'' was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service; Greenwald had been the lead reporter on the story.

==Personal==
Since 2005, Greenwald has lived in Rio de Janeiro with his (same sex) husband, David Miranda, who is now a (Brazilian) Federal Congressman representing Rio state.

Psircleback: Created page about American icon (until 2020)

Frank Brown served both as maitre d' and occasional chef at an upmarket Chicago restaurant patronized by the executives of the Houston-based 'Uncle Ben's' rice company before and during World War II; his shrewdly observant smiling expression (eg <https://i.pinimg.com/originals/db/de/e0/dbdee0efd8715c3820abb3d52c1b4165.jpg>) graced packets of the world's first branded rice from 1946 until 2020 when, with exemplary cowardice and, arguably, outright racism, the now-parent Mars company memory-holed Brown and re-named the brand as 'Bens' Original.' (The 'Uncle Ben's' brand name itself, less defensibly, had without permission appropriated that of a respected 1940s Gulf Coast rice farmer with a usefully widely-known reputation for delivering high quality rice to industry buyers.)

Mars apparently considered their acquired portfolio of the many iconic images of Brown to be indirectly tainted by the 'Uncle' appellation which, historically, once served as a diminutive form of 'Mister' employed by whites of blacks in the Democrat-ruled US south; the fact of Brown being a northern restauranteur with absolutely no connection to the farmer was, predictably, quite lost on the mindless droids in Mars's marketing department, who'll be the first against the wall when the counter-revolution comes. One hopes.

Bestselling books of all time

2021-07-17T18:00:39Z

Psircleback: Editorialized some, adding a second sentence.

The top-tied '''bestselling books of all time''' are the [[Bible]] and ''Quotations from Chairman Mao'', each at about 6 billion published copies apiece. It's a great shame that, realistically, there's no reliable way to separate the two chart-toppers by discounting copies bought or kept purely to evade the adverse consequences of being discovered not to have one - if there were, one suspects that the Holy Qu'ran might not have made it into the top three, either.

Also included in Publishing Perspectives's 'Top 25' are books by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and [[C.S. Lewis]]; [[Lew Wallace]]'s ''Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ'', thought to have sold c.50 million copies, closely failed to make the list<ref>https://publishingperspectives.com/2010/09/top-25-bestselling-books-of-all-time/</ref>.

'''Prince Philip''', [[Duke of Edinburgh]] (June 10, 1921 - April 9, 2021), born as Prince Philip of [[Greece]] and [[Denmark]], was the husband and royal consort of Queen [[Elizabeth II]] of the [[United Kingdom]]. He was born in Greece and was a prince of the Greek royal family. Evacuated to Britain after a revolutionary [[coup d'état]] in his homeland, he became a naval cadet and served in the [[Royal Navy]] during the [[Second World War]], earning a [[Mention in Despatches]] for his actions during the [[Battle of Cape Matapan]]. In 1947 he renounced his Greek and Danish titles and became a British citizen before marrying Princess Elizabeth, who became queen in 1952 upon the death of her father, King [[George VI]]. Just prior to the marriage, he was given the title of Duke of Edinburgh, and thereafter styled as ''His Royal Highness''.

Retrieved August 3, 2017.</ref> led him to be mocked by some in the [[liberal]] [[media]]; wiser and more tolerant observers, though, admired his directness and robust [[humor]] which, perhaps with deliberate irony, often came at the expense of foreigners - or at least of foreign countries: "You managed not to get eaten then?" he once inquired of a British student recently returned from a trekking vacation in Papua New Guinea. His most celebrated such utterance occurred in a domestic context, however: on being introduced to a driving instructor in a 1995 visit to the beautiful coastal town of Oban in western Scotland (the Brits don't do Driver Ed.) he asked, disarmingly, "How do you keep the natives off the sauce for long enough to pass the test?”

==Early Life==

Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark was born on June 10, 1921, at the villa of Mon Repos on the island of [[Corfu]] in [[Greece]]. His father was Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, a member of the House of Glücksberg (the royal family of [[Denmark]]) and the younger brother of the ruling king of [[Greece]], Constantine I; his mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg, member of a branch of the German House of Hesse-Darmstadt and a great-granddaughter of [[Queen Victoria]]. Alice's father and younger brothers had, prior to Philip's birth, become naturalized British subjects, serving in the [[Royal Navy]] and anglicizing their family name to "Mountbatten" due to anti-German sentiment during [[World War I]], giving the young child some influential British connections. At his birth, Philip (the couple's fifth and final child, and their only son) was sixth in line to succeed to the Greek throne.

At the time of Philip's birth, Greece was embroiled in a war with [[Turkey]] that had resulted from nationalist conflicts, and over the next year suffered serious losses to the Turks. In September 1922, a revolution broke out that forced King Constantine I, discredited by the progress of the war, to abdicate, and Prince Andrew, who had been in command of a Greek division, was arrested. A few months later, a revolutionary court banished him from the country for life, and his family was evacuated by ship, with Philip carried on board in a cot made from a fruit box. Philip had little personal connection with the Greek nation after this point; he had only a limited understanding of the Greek language during his life, and said later that he considered himself primarily Danish.

The exiled family settled outside [[Paris]], where Philip lived until 1930, when he was sent to Britain to attend school under the guardianship of his Mountbatten relatives. During this time, he suffered much turbulence among his immediate family. His parents were by now estranged, with Philip moving to Monte Carlo in [[Monaco]] and spending most of the rest of his life there, while his mother, Princess Alice, was diagnosed with [[schizophrenia]] and placed in an asylum in [[Switzerland]]. Meanwhile, in a short span of time, Philip's four older sisters--Margarita, Theodora, Cecilie, and Sophie--were married to German princes and relocated to [[Germany]]. Cecilie and her husband, Prince George Donatus of Hesse, were members of the [[Nazi Party]]; they and three of their four children were killed in a plane crash in 1937. His other sisters' husbands were Party members as well, and would serve in the German Army during World War II.

Thanks to the influence of his sister Theodora's husband, Berthold, Margrave of Baden, Philip began attending the elite German boarding school Schule Schloss Salem in 1933, spending two terms there before transferring to Gordonstoun School in Moray, [[Scotland]] (a move stemming partly from the increasing anti-Jewish persecution in Germany). During these years, seeing very little of his parents, he was closest to his uncle and guardian, Louis Mountbatten.

==Naval Career==

Philip completed his studies at Gordonstoun School in early 1939, after which he enrolled at the Britannia Royal Naval College in [[Dartmouth]] to prepare for military service. He was urged to do so by some of his relatives, the imminent outbreak of the [[Second World War]] apparently being a major consideration in this. He graduated from the college in 1940, having been recognized as the best of his class of cadets and awarded the King's Dirk; that summer, he was assigned to the [[battleship]] ''HMS Ramillies'' as a midshipman and spent the next several months on duty in the [[Indian Ocean]]. In January 1941, Philip was transferred to the ''HMS Valiant'' at Alexandria in [[Egypt]], commanding the ship's searchlight control during the [[Battle of Cape Matapan]] off the coast of Greece that March. Recognized for his skill in this action, he was rapidly promoted to sub-lieutenant and then lieutenant, and in October 1942 was assigned to the [[destroyer]] ''HMS Wallace'' as its first lieutenant. In this capacity, he was on hand during the Allied invasion of [[Sicily]] in July 1943. In 2003, it was revealed that Philip had prevented an attack on the ''Wallace'' by a [[Luftwaffe]] bomber, constructing a raft with "smoke floats" and sending it away from the ship to trick the bombers into striking it instead. A veteran of the ''Wallace'' who told the story said that "Prince Philip saved our lives that night."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/dec/28/monarchy.davidsmith</ref>

In 1944, Philip joined the ''HMS Whelp'', again as first lieutenant, which joined the British Pacific Fleet and was stationed offshore during the [[Battle of Okinawa]] and was in Tokyo Bay during the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945. He continued to serve on the ship until its return to Britain in January 1946.

After leaving the ''Whelp'', Philip spent time at the Petty Officers' School in [[Wiltshire]] as an instructor, then took a position at the Naval Staff College in [[Greenwich]]. In 1949 (after his marriage to Princess Elizabeth), he was appointed first lieutenant of the destroyer ''HMS Chequers'', stationed in [[Malta]], which would be the couple's effective home until Elizabeth's succession to the throne in 1952. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Commander in 1950 and given command of the frigate ''HMS Magpie'', then promoted again to Commander in 1952. This was the highest rank Philip would reach during his active service.

==Marriage==

Though the two had briefly met on a couple of prior occasions, Philip and Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the reigning [[King George VI]] and heir apparent to the British throne, only became seriously acquainted in 1939 while the royal family was touring the naval college at Dartmouth; he acted as an escort for her and her younger sister Margaret. The two began a romantic correspondence not long thereafter (despite Elizabeth being only 13 at the time), and as early as 1941 there was private speculation that the two would be married in time. Philip asked the King for his daughter's hand in marriage in 1946, which he granted but postponed the announcement of until after Elizabeth's 21st birthday in April 1947. They were married at [[Westminster Abbey]] on November 20, 1947. (Due to their German marriages, none of Philip's surviving sisters attended the wedding. His mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, did attend, as did his uncle, Louis Mountbatten. Philip's father, Prince Andrew, had died in 1944.)

Before the wedding took place, to finalize his association with the United Kingdom, Philip renounced any claim he might have to the thrones of Greece or Denmark as a member of the Glücksberg royal family, taking the "Mountbatten" surname of his maternal relatives. George VI then made him a Knight of the Garter and, on the morning of the wedding, created him [[Duke of Edinburgh]], with the additional titles of Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich, allowing him to style himself as His Royal Highness. He also formally converted to the [[Church of England]], having been baptized a Greek Orthodox.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20100529132154/http://www.royal.gov.uk/ThecurrentRoyalFamily/TheDukeofEdinburgh/Navalcareer.aspx</ref>

After their marriage, Philip and Elizabeth spent the next several years at Clarence House, a royal residence in [[London]], and later in Malta on account of his naval duties. The first of their children, [[Prince Charles]], was born in 1948, followed by [[Princess Anne]] in 1950. In 1951, with George VI in increasingly poor health, the couple began assuming more of his royal duties, going on a tour of [[Canada]], and at the beginning of 1952 began an extended visit to the [[British Commonwealth]].

==Royal Consort==

On February 6, 1952, King George VI died at the age of 56. Philip and Elizabeth were in [[Kenya]] when they received the news, and immediately returned to Britain. Elizabeth at once became queen, assuming the title Elizabeth II, and plans were made for her coronation the following year.

Some small controversy arose over how the royal house would now be titled. Philip's relatives expressed the belief that it would be titled the ''House of Mountbatten'', a title Elizabeth herself may have been willing to adopt. However, her own family and leaders of the British government (including Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]]) prevailed on her to maintain its title of ''House of Windsor''. This was accepted by all parties, though Philip was said to be disgruntled by the decision, remarking that he was "the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children." (Complicating matters further was the fact that "Windsor," like "Mountbatten," was a name only invented in [[World War I]] in response to anti-German sentiment; prior to that, the British royal family had born various German surnames.) In 1960, Elizabeth would issue a decree amending this decision; their male-line descendants who did not bear the title of Prince or Princess would have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. Two of their grandchildren and one of their great-grandchildren currently bear this name.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/feb/18/monarchy</ref>

As a Royal Consort, Philip's duties were to accompany the Queen in her capacity as head of state and to represent her on various occasions. He was in charge of the planning of Elizabeth's coronation in 1953 (successfully pushing to have the ceremony televised, the first time this had happened), and went on a sole tour of the Commonwealth in 1956-57. Shortly after his return, in February 1957, Elizabeth elevated her husband to the rank of "Prince of the United Kingdom"; from then until the rest of his life, he was officially styled as "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh."

==Death==
It was reported that Prince Philip died on the morning of April 9, 2021 at the age of 99, his cause of death is not confirmed, Buckingham Palace saying only that he died peacefully. At his death, Philip was the longest-serving royal consort in British history.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-11437314 Prince Philip has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace announces]. ''BBC News''. Retrieved 9 April 2021.</ref>, he had served for 69 years as Consort at the time of his death.

== Accusations of Racism ==
Within minutes of his death being announced on [[Twitter]] Philip's detractors began re-cycling old accusations of racism, thereby cynically and most unfairly overlooking the Duke's deliberate use of irony and his very well-known sense of humor. His most notorious remark in this vein, made to a group of British exchange students living in China, was: "If you stay here much longer you'll all be slitty-eyed," but his reactions to early Ethiopian art ("It looks like the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from her school lessons.") and traditional Nigerian dress ("You look like you’re ready for bed!") - the latter remark being made to, of all people, its president - provided his critics with plenty of additional ammunition, unfortunately. Similarly, his deducing (of a British tourist in Hungary) that "You can't have been here that long: you haven't got a pot belly" and, visiting Queensland's Aboriginal Cultural Park in 2002, his innocently framed "Do you still throw spears at each other?” provided, sadly, yet more grist to the mill of the present age's joyless, mindless, anti-racist left.

In January 1941, Philip was transferred to the ''HMS Valiant'' at Alexandria in [[Egypt]], commanding the ship's searchlight control during the [[Battle of Cape Matapan]] off the coast of Greece that March. Recognized for his skill in this action, he was rapidly promoted to sub-lieutenant and then lieutenant, and in October 1942 was assigned to the [[destroyer]] ''HMS Wallace'' as its first lieutenant. In this capacity, he was on hand during the Allied invasion of [[Sicily]] in July 1943. In 2003, it was revealed that Philip had prevented an attack on the ''Wallace'' by a [[Luftwaffe]] bomber, constructing a raft with "smoke floats" and sending it away from the ship to trick the bombers into striking it instead. A veteran of the ''Wallace'' who told the story said that "Prince Philip saved our lives that night."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/dec/28/monarchy.davidsmith</ref>

In 1944, Philip joined the ''HMS Whelp'', again as first lieutenant, which joined the British Pacific Fleet and was stationed offshore during the [[Battle of Okinawa]] and was in Tokyo Bay during the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945. He continued to serve on the ship until its return to Britain in January 1946.

After leaving the ''Whelp'', Philip spent time at the Petty Officers' School in [[Wiltshire]] as an instructor, then took a position at the Naval Staff College in [[Greenwich]]. In 1949 (after his marriage to Princess Elizabeth), he was appointed first lieutenant of the destroyer ''HMS Chequers'', stationed in [[Malta]], which would be the couple's effective home until Elizabeth's succession to the throne in 1952. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Commander in 1950 and given command of the frigate ''HMS Magpie'', then promoted again to Commander in 1952. This was the highest rank Philip would reach during his active service.

==Marriage==

Though the two had briefly met on a couple of prior occasions, Philip and Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the reigning [[King George VI]] and heir apparent to the British throne, only became seriously acquainted in 1939 while the royal family was touring the naval college at Dartmouth; he acted as an escort for her and her younger sister Margaret. The two began a romantic correspondence not long thereafter (despite Elizabeth being only 13 at the time), and as early as 1941 there was private speculation that the two would be married in time. Philip asked the King for his daughter's hand in marriage in 1946, which he granted but postponed the announcement of until after Elizabeth's 21st birthday in April 1947. They were married at [[Westminster Abbey]] on November 20, 1947. (Due to their German marriages, none of Philip's surviving sisters attended the wedding. His mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, did attend, as did his uncle, Louis Mountbatten. Philip's father, Prince Andrew, had died in 1944.)

Before the wedding took place, to finalize his association with the United Kingdom, Philip renounced any claim he might have to the thrones of Greece or Denmark as a member of the Glücksberg royal family, taking the "Mountbatten" surname of his maternal relatives. George VI then made him a Knight of the Garter and, on the morning of the wedding, created him [[Duke of Edinburgh]], with the additional titles of Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich, allowing him to style himself as His Royal Highness. He also formally converted to the [[Church of England]], having been baptized a Greek Orthodox.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20100529132154/http://www.royal.gov.uk/ThecurrentRoyalFamily/TheDukeofEdinburgh/Navalcareer.aspx</ref>

After their marriage, Philip and Elizabeth spent the next several years at Clarence House, a royal residence in [[London]], and later in Malta on account of his naval duties. The first of their children, [[Prince Charles]], was born in 1948, followed by [[Princess Anne]] in 1950. In 1951, with George VI in increasingly poor health, the couple began assuming more of his royal duties, going on a tour of [[Canada]], and at the beginning of 1952 began an extended visit to the [[British Commonwealth]].

==Royal Consort==

On February 6, 1952, King George VI died at the age of 56. Philip and Elizabeth were in [[Kenya]] when they received the news, and immediately returned to Britain. Elizabeth at once became queen, assuming the title Elizabeth II, and plans were made for her coronation the following year.

Some small controversy arose over how the royal house would now be titled. Philip's relatives expressed the belief that it would be titled the ''House of Mountbatten'', a title Elizabeth herself may have been willing to adopt. However, her own family and leaders of the British government (including Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]]) prevailed on her to maintain its title of ''House of Windsor''. This was accepted by all parties, though Philip was said to be disgruntled by the decision, remarking that he was "the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children." (Complicating matters further was the fact that "Windsor," like "Mountbatten," was a name only invented in [[World War I]] in response to anti-German sentiment; prior to that, the British royal family had born various German surnames.) In 1960, Elizabeth would issue a decree amending this decision; their male-line descendants who did not bear the title of Prince or Princess would have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. Two of their grandchildren and one of their great-grandchildren currently bear this name.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/feb/18/monarchy</ref>

As a Royal Consort, Philip's duties were to accompany the Queen in her capacity as head of state and to represent her on various occasions. He was in charge of the planning of Elizabeth's coronation in 1953 (successfully pushing to have the ceremony televised, the first time this had happened), and went on a sole tour of the Commonwealth in 1956-57. Shortly after his return, in February 1957, Elizabeth elevated her husband to the rank of "Prince of the United Kingdom"; from then until the rest of his life, he was officially styled as "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh."

==Death==
It was reported that Prince Philip died on the morning of April 9, 2021 at the age of 99, his cause of death is not confirmed, Buckingham Palace saying only that he died peacefully. At his death, Philip was the longest-serving royal consort in British history.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-11437314 Prince Philip has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace announces]. ''BBC News''. Retrieved 9 April 2021.</ref>, he had served for 69 years as Consort at the time of his death.

== Accusations of Racism ==
After minutes of his death being announced on [[Twitter]], people started accusing Philip of racism.

|One of Michael Bay's better films tells the true story of when [[Benghazi Attack|Islamic terrorists attacked a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012]] and the six Americans who took a stand without any support from the Obama-controlled White House or from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who not only refused to send any help and even ordered the military in the area to stand down, but later dismissively brushed off criticism of her actions with her infamous and callous "What difference at this point does it make?" comment). Not surprisingly, liberals viewed the film negatively and even made baseless accusations about the film's accuracy to distract from their dislike, but the film was a box office success and popular with the viewing public,<ref>https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/13_hours_the_secret_soldiers_of_benghazi</ref> which saw an insightful analysis at the events of the attack and the heroes who acted to defend the compound of their own accord.

|A 37-year-old father reverts to age 17 through a visit to a mysterious janitor and learns that choosing family, which he strives to support however he can, and life over death and possible material riches is much more rewarding and fulfilling even if it is not always apparent. The film stands up for [[abstinence]] and self-respect, and contains a strong speech for both of them, as in this quote: "Because there is no one that I'm in love with. It's called making love, isn't it? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think that means you do it with someone you love. And preferably when you're married, when you're ready to take that love and turn it into a baby." The concept of fatherhood is painted positively as well because he ultimately learns he was reverted to age 17 so he could see things from his children's perspectives and help them resolve their problems.

|''The Avengers''
|2012
|PG
|Widely considered to be the crowning achievement of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this game-changing superhero film brings together several superheroes, all of whom previously starred in related films adapted from Marvel Comics, as they join the Norse god Thor (who is less of a god and more of an alien in this universe, thus averting support for paganism) in stopping his evil brother Loki from conquering the world with an extraterrestrial mercenary army. Despite being the first Marvel feature released by the liberal conglomerate [[Walt Disney Company]] and being directed by liberal Joss Whedon, the film condemns totalitarian ideals, namely Loki's actions. A pivotal scene has Loki forcing innocent Germans to kneel before him, but an old man refuses to submit to "men like him", comparing Loki's actions to Hitler and Nazi Germany's actions. Arriving to confront Loki in the next instant, Steve Rogers/Captain America references Hitler and Johan Schmidt/Red Skull's attempt at taking the world via a similar ideology. Furthermore, the film condemns communism because the heroic assassin character Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, who works with the superheroes, implies that she regrets her time as a Soviet agent due to having to conduct various atrocities. Law-enforcement is depicted positively, too, as they join the Avengers in their climactic battle to defend New York City when Loki's army invades. Finally, while the film doesn't seem to favor any religion or non-religion in particular, it paints Christians positively when Captain America, before pursuing a fighting Thor and Loki, tells Black Widow, "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that!" in an obvious reference to the Biblical God. Given that a lot of planning went into ''The Avengers'' even before Disney's acquisition of Marvel went into full effect, it should come as no surprise that these conservative subtexts shine through.

Morals include improving oneself through training as well as the [[American Dream]]: although the Bears are composed of the worst players in little league, main character Coach Buttermaker trains them to become one of the best baseball teams in the season.

When main villain Ra's al Ghul reveals his intentions to destroy Gotham City, Batman tries to stop him since Gotham still ultimately has good elements in the community. Capitalism is depicted positively, too: in the backstory, Thomas Wayne, Bruce's late father, helped alleviate Gotham City from poverty via his wealth by building a public transportation system. Thomas' death inspired Gotham's wealthy individuals to follow his example, and Wayne Enterprises' Lucius Fox, who runs the company in Bruce's absence, proceeded to use the company's resources to synthesize a cure for fear toxin.

|''Black Panther''
|2018
|PG-13
|Based on the eponymous Marvel Comics superhero, the eighteenth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe tells of a young African king, who gained enhanced strength from consumption of a majestic heart-shaped herb, fighting against the force of a black supremacist, who seeks to take the king's throne. In the name of morality, this king, or "The Black Panther," seeks to destroy the villain and his plans to overthrow the other races and governments of the world. The Black Panther recognizes both the importance of helping those in need, as well as not going beyond one's governmental authority. Though there are plenty of pagan religious references, the film appeals in some ways to a general sense of Christian morality and governmental justice, and it never diverts into political correctness about black supremacism. Liberals have attempted to adopt ''Black Panther'' as a liberal film because of its predominantly black racial cast while ignoring the conservative subtexts that clearly shine through.

|''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]''
|2011
|PG-13
|Based upon the adventures of the patriotic superhero from Marvel Comics (and perhaps the company's most conservative superhero ever created), the frail, sickly U.S. Army recruit Steve Rogers is enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, then uses his newfound supersoldier abilities to combat Nazi terror in Europe while wearing a star-spangled uniform to avoid identification and carrying a throwable shield. Ultimately, he hunts down Nazi supersoldier Johan Schmidt/Red Skull, who was subject to an early, flawed version of Rogers' serum and has stolen the Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential. Though Rogers succeeds, he is soon left with no choice but to crash Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, leaving him frozen in suspended animation for decades until he wakes up in 2012 and readies for the events of the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ''The Avengers''. Virtues shown include patriotism, perseverance, and the courage to confront evil dictators. It condemns against globalist views in the climax of the film, as Schmidt, when taunting Rogers, says, "I've seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!", referring to Rogers' choice to fight for his nation rather than harness the power of gods. Rogers rejects his claim by shouting, "Not my future!" Capitalism is painted positively in the form of a young Howard Stark (father of fellow Marvel superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man), who is first seen holding an expo for possible future inventions, including a flying car. The film condemns infidelity and premarital relations as well: British intelligence agent Peggy Carter initially assumes that Rogers is cheating on her (she learns the girl he is first seen dating previously forced herself on him); and, when Howard Stark says "fondue", he says he means a platonic dinner with Carter rather than innuendo for sex.

A rift in the team forms because of the disagreement between its two co-leaders: Tony Stark/Iron Man is for this measure, while Steve Rogers/Captain America is against it. Rogers, who believes in self-governance and along with his allies (Bucky Barnes/the Winter Solider, Sam Wilson/Falcon, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, and Scott Lang/Ant-Man) that it would be harmful to have the Avengers require government permission to fight a crime, never changes his stance on the issue.

|''Casablanca''
|1942
|NR
|This most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film was based on the play "Everybody Comes to Rick's." The triumph in the film of fidelity over promiscuity is a strongly [[conservative]] theme, and this movie portrays [[marriage]], [[love]], and fighting for freedom in a compelling way. This film glorifies self-sacrifice for greater good, and promotes doing what's right even at expense to oneself (Rick, as played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]). [[Vichy France]] and [[Nazi]]s are disparaged. The actors and actresses on the set of the filming conducted themselves admirably off-camera, in contrast with other films, and even played [[chess]] during breaks and in a filmed scene.
 Minor quibbling about the film focuses on incidental dialogue which implied that Rick had aided and supported the cause of the [[Communist]]s during the [[Spanish Civil War]] (it should be noted that such dialogue was exclusive to the film and not present in the original play<ref>http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf (dead link, archived version [https://web.archive.org/web/20141224092710/http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf here])</ref>), and how Lazlo was an "international leader" of a resistance movement against the Nazis hinting at his being a Soviet plant.

It also is one of the few films to [[Allusion|allude]] to the anti-Semitic [[Doctor's plot]] that Stalin had orchestrated prior to his death (which had ironically been precipitated due to the doctor's plot killing off all the best doctors in Moscow at the time), making clear that, contrary to what the left claims, the USSR and the left adhered to anti-Semitism. The director of the film, Armando Iannucci, admits that a large part of the reason he made the film was partly because of how Stalin was still revered in Russia to the extent that the Russian hotel he stayed at had a portrait of Stalin up, while pointing out that no one would dare do the same regarding Hitler in similar situations.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/features/armando-iannucci-death-of-stalin-trumps-funeral-w517602</ref> As if reinforcing this, the movie also ended up banned in Russia at the order of [[Vladimir Putin]].

|1986
|PG-13
|A cool teen in Chicago plays hooky with his girlfriend, his best friend, and a vintage Ferrari restored by his best friend's unseen, car-obsessed father. The film shows how teenagers can have fun without drugs, alcohol, or tobacco; and the main character is faithful to his girlfriend, likely choosing abstinence. In a clear anti-socialist statement, Ferris says that "I'm not European, I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism." Since the movie mocks the liberal public education system, Ferris even directly states that he is not socialist and will never be such. Furthermore, the character arc experienced by Ferris' best friend Cameron Fry promotes family unity because, after taking out his anger on his father's Ferrari and ultimately wrecking it beyond repair, Cameron gains the emotional maturity and courage to confront Mr. Fry about neglecting his wife and son for some time due to his obsession with restoring the car. Conservative commentator, economist, and comedian [[Ben Stein]] appears as one of Ferris's teachers.

As Tevyeh's daughters break with Jewish marriage customs in different ways one by one, their home shtetl of Anatevka becomes more vulnerable to tsarist invaders, suggesting that tradition is what keeps society strong and healthy. Even so, Tevyeh makes clear before the opening credits that, "Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as... as... as a fiddler on the roof!"

|Fight Club
|1999

|Fight club is considered to be a "conservative classic" for audiences mature enough to handle the violence and language. It argues against the idea that society can alter or control our basic human nature. One of the characters rants against consumerism which lead liberals to believe it is anti-capitalist moral, but don't be fooled. In reality it's pro self governance and anti-consumerism moral. We can't fill our happiness with buying things. It's pro-masculinity and warns society of the dangers of trying to suppress masculinity and promotes assertiveness and strength in men's minds and bodies.
The story is about a nameless first person character (Edward Norton) who is stuck in an unwanted job and life, who attends support groups to deal with his insomnia and depressed emotional state. He runes into a female romantic interest around the same time he begins associating with "Tyler" (Brad Pitt) where he gets embroiled in an underground fight club and soap making scheme.

|A boy named David Scott Freeman is abducted by a UFO and then wakes up in a ravine, only to discover that he's been transported 8 years into the future. The series contains strong pro-family themes as David's parents are shown to be filled with overwhelming joy and happiness after seeing David for the first time in 8 years. David's little brother, Jeff, has an antagonistic relationship with David early in the movie but when David disappears for 8 years, a now-16-year-old Jeff regrets the way he treated his brother and reconciles with him. David's family is very supportive in helping him adjust to his situation. When David is in the hospital for testing to find out why he hasn't aged, one of his family stays with him at all times so he won't be alone. When David goes back in time at the end of the film, he learns to have more appreciation for his family, including Jeff. The film also depicts government bureaucrats in a negative light, as NASA treats the UFO and David as mere science experiments and is unsympathetic to David's situation. The agents take David away from his family and put him in an isolated, locked room. David's father becomes enraged when he finds out how NASA has been treating David. The agents later place the whole family under House Arrest. When David goes to his family's home in 1986, the NASA agents are there to take him away again, and that's when he decides to go back in time to 1978 despite the ship's computer, Max, insisting that it's potentially dangerous.

|Three parapsychologists (later joined by a fourth teammate, who acts as their voice of reason) lose their jobs at Columbia University as they fail to deal with a ghost plaguing the New York Public Library, so they develop ghost-weakening "proton packs" and go into business ridding New York City of poltergeists. The film fittingly satirizes an unfair (and likely liberal) professor, senseless academic research, paganism, and a villainous EPA regulator. One conservative sample line by Ghostbuster Raymond "Ray" Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) when asked to shift from the public to the [[private sector]] reads like this: "I don’t know about that. I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results!" A sequel, ''Ghostbusters 2'', followed in 1989, though there is some debate as to whether it qualifies as great since it revisits many of the same plot points from the first movie. The original film was remade in 2016 as a liberal revisionist and pro-feminist piece (with the four main character all female), which bombed at the box office and had a trailer almost universally panned on YouTube.

There is not an ounce of appeasement or the whiff of "engagement" in Maximus’s blood, only the desire to avenge the murder of his family and see justice carried out.

|This Christmas classic is about Kevin McCallister, who accidentally gets stuck home alone and thus learns to be independent and self-reliant. Not only that, but he defends his family house from burglars by resourcefully making booby traps out of everyday items, including firearms. Kevin is shown to be a Christian, too, as he goes to church and is shown praying and giving grace before his dinner. After Kevin gets into an altercation with his older brother Buzz, he wishes his family would disappear. After he wakes up and finds his family gone, he is at first overjoyed at having no one talking down to him or telling him he can't do things, but as the film progresses, he begins to miss his family and learns how important they are. Likewise, Kevin's mother Kate is determined to get back to Chicago to see Kevin and will make any sacrifice necessary. The film shows the value of charity because the supporting character Gus Polinski (played by the late John Candy) empathizes with Kate, being a father himself, and offers Kate a ride with his Polka band.

Three sequels, the third and fourth films without its original star as Kevin, followed later on.

In fact, the whole reason they did not have money was that earlier at town meeting the government agent claimed the town could not afford the scholarship she earned, when the reality is, he stole it all to have an affair with another government worker. On a side note, the police officer of the movie is shown in a positive light (who also makes a brief pro-gun claim), eventually realizing the parents were right, and helping them take down the corrupt government official.

His father, likewise It also deals with redemption as well, as after Tony Stark made a very big mess of himself, he worked hard to redeem himself for his past behavior, ultimately succeeding in the ending. It also promotes the concept of honoring thy father and family values, as Tony noted that his father, Howard Stark, has been distant with him, although a later film reel, which also proved instrumental to saving his life, revealed that Howard Stark, while distant, nonetheless genuinely loved his son and even gave him words of encouragement from beyond the grave. Howard, likewise, was depicted in a manner similar to famed animator and capitalist [[Walt Disney]]. It also depicts feminism in a negative light, as while Pepper Potts did run Stark Enterprises, it was solely due to anger at Tony Stark's bad behavior in the film and not because she wanted it. It also condemns nihilism as well, as the reason why Tony Stark behaved badly was due to him dying and figuring he might as well act irresponsibly for his last days living. Also like the past film, it depicted terrorism (in particular communist-based terrorism) and treason in a very negative light, as Armand Hammer, in clear envy towards Tony Stark, proceeded to break out and hire an infamous Russian terrorist, Ivan Vanko, who held a grudge against Tony Stark due to his father Howard Stark sending his father Anton Vanko back to the USSR under suspicions that he was a Communist plant, with the terrorist later proceeding to have Hammer's Iron Man knockoff suits automatically attack everyone with Hammer being arrested. Also condemns the idea of government intervention in businesses, due to Iron Man being exceedingly reluctant to sell off his Iron Man suit to the government.

|''Logan''
|2017
|R
|(not for children) Unlike the mainstream ''X-Men'' films, which focus on the struggle of mutants to gain acceptance in the world (similar to homosexual rights), Hugh Jackman's final appearance as Logan/Wolverine takes on a much more personal and realistic tone, Logan being by far the most human mutant portrayed in the movies. With mutants on the brink of extinction, Logan's healing factor beginning to fail him, and the metal coating his skeleton now poisoning him, Logan has been reduced to working as a limo chauffeur to care for an ailing Charles Xavier. He is also binging on alcohol far more than ever before, much to the chagrin of fellow mutant Caliban. He reluctantly agrees, at the behest of a nurse named Gabriela, to escort Laura, a young girl and clone-daughter of Logan, to "Eden," a safe haven (and reference to the location of the birth of mankind) for mutant children who were born within the walls of Transigen, a biomedical company that had illegally used the DNA of mutants, including Logan, to create cloned children whom they turned into soldiers.

The movie emphasizes faith at least twice, most notably when Logan and Charles view Gabriela's phone video about Transigen, in which she says that the children have never seen any of God's creations, as well as Charles saying that Eden is "real for Laura," despite Logan's skepticism. The nature of Transigen's horrific experiments also gives the movie anti-cloning and anti-God playing messages. But even more importantly, despite his losing faith with the world, his fellow mutants all but gone, Logan is reminded of the value of family, he, Charles, and Laura accepting a family's invitation to have dinner and spend the night. Charles remarks to Logan, "This is what life looks like. A house. A safe place. People who love each other. You should take a moment." Finally, in the movie's climax, Logan finds the redemption he has long sought, facing off against a clone, as well as a symbol of the violent demons within himself, giving his own life, so that the children can escape across the border into Canada.

The film carries an implicit promotion of national borders and legal immigration/assimilation, as the titular organization keeps the existence of extraterrestrial immigrants secret and allows them in so long as the aliens specifically make sure they undergo naturalization first and that they obey certain laws. In addition, the opening scene has Kay and his partner stopping attempted illegal immigrants from crossing into the country and was implied to be working alongside the ICE and border patrol to prevent illegal immigrants into the country while trying to prevent a literal illegal alien, Mikey, from entering the country illegally, with the alien being depicted in a negative light due to him trying to kill an ICE agent before being atomized by Kay. Also condemns terrorism, as the main villain, Edgar the Bug, arrived on Earth to personally assassinate two extraterrestrial diplomats of two warring civilizations specifically to engineer a war with Earth and thus allow his kind to feast on any killed in battle. There's also a subtle mocking of the liberal news rag ''New York Times'', where one of the characters, Kay, when explaining to Jay that he was searching via tabloid articles, suggested he could use the ''New York Times'' as searching for information as "they sometimes get it right", implying that the ''New York Times'' was less reliable than tabloid articles.

|2019
|N/A
|As implied by the title, it covers Welsh Journalist Gareth Jones' attempts at exposing the true horrific nature of the Soviet Union under Stalin, including Holodomor. The film is explicitly anti-Communist, as the Soviets are made clear fairly early on to have silenced people, including reporter Paul Kleb, by killing them, as well as revealing Holodomor. It also pulls no punches and makes clear that the ''[[New York Times]]'', and more specifically its head [[Walter Duranty]], was fully complicit in hiding Stalin's crimes and depicted them in a very negative light, and also highlights the full corruption of the leftist media, as Duranty utilized drugs and sex at private parties to buy his fellow journalists' silence. It also is pointedly made relevant with the current day due to the [[cancel culture]] that is prevalent on social media.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/culture/bryan-preston/2020/06/23/mr-jones-movie-depicts-when-the-new-york-times-helped-stalin-cancel-10-million-n568265</ref>

|The movie's main protagonist, Keller Dover, is a deeply devout Christian man, who says the Lord's Prayer on several occasions. The movie also depicts the importance of family in a very positive light, with Keller vowing to protect and love those closest to him at all costs. However, when his daughter and best friend are kidnapped, Keller takes matters into his own hands by kidnapping, imprisoning, and torturing the man whom he believes is responsible, even though it becomes apparent that he could not have done it. This is a clear transformation from holy man to sinner, as is symbolized at one point by the filmmakers intentionally changing Keller's daughter's best friend's rat from white to black. This makes it clear that the movie is self-aware that its main protagonist is no longer a good Christian man. Furthermore, this is could be a symbolization of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, as the man being tortured is innocent, and suffering for the crimes of the real kidnapper, his aunt.

|This old-school stylized superhero film may not only be one of DC's best but it is very conservative. The movie is quite-pro family with the main character; Billy Batson, realizing end that family is what matters most, and even claims “If a superhero can’t save his family, then he’s not much of a superhero.” Also, it is pro-Christianity, with the family saying Grace and thanking and showing gratitude towards the [[Lord]] for their meal (which is very rare for a superhero movie). As well as the villain being [[Nihilist|nihilistic]] and leading the demons of the seven deadly sins. In addition, the hero is played by actor Zachary Levi who is a Christian, and his faith may have cost him some roles earlier (most likely because of [[Hollywood Values]]).<ref>https://godtv.com/6-hollywood-entertainers-didnt-know-were-christians/</ref> The film also in way condemns the pro-choice agenda as well as [[feminism]], as the main character's mother abandons him on purpose and just leaves him to survive on his own Finally, there is a small anti-alcoholism message with the characters taking a sip of alcohol for the first time, and then spitting it out, only to return the rest of it, and buy candy and soda instead. <ref>https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/04/05/shazam-review-not-another-origin-story/</ref>

|''Sky High''
|2005
|PG
|At an airborne high school for tomorrow's superheroes, student Will Stronghold is the son of two costumed vigilantes who, while he does not appear to have superpowers at first, develop them over time, hinting at the idea of social advancement, which is the basis for the [[American Dream]]. The main lesson he learns is knowing how to use one's abilities to one's advantage and achieve a greater goal. A catchphrase in the film is: "Just because you have powers, that doesn't make you a hero," which can be related to the expression, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." On a similar note, similar to ''The Incredibles'', the line also condemns forced diversity promotion messages such as "everyone can be a hero".
Furthermore, the film promotes the idea that anyone can be a hero, as Will and his "sidekick" friends with seemingly unimpressive superhuman abilities eventually rise above their assigned statuses and save the school. Also, Gwen Grayson/Royal Pain, the feminist main villain, seeks to turn all the superheroes into babies, then raise them up to be evil and loyal to her (perhaps an effort to play God). In addition, Will's best friend Layla Williams, who can control plant life and ultimately becomes his girlfriend, is shown to contain many liberal beliefs, especially pacifism, but she gives up her pacifism to fight back and help defeat Royal Pain and her cronies.

|N/A
|Johnny, the young son of a plantation owner in the Post-Reconstruction American South meets Uncle Remus, a wise old storyteller who tells him stories of a crafty rabbit who uses his wits to avoid being eaten by an evil fox and his dimwitted bear sidekick. It is very pro-family, as it depicts Johnny's family as very caring and protective towards him, especially when they attempt to keep Uncle Remus from seeing him or telling him stories, and when they care for him after he is mauled by the bull. Johnny's parents tell him not to go into the Bull Patch, teaching children to obey their parents. Johnny is also disciplined for outsmarting the Favors children, showing a clear anti-lying message. Johnny's family are conservative Christians, as evidenced by their references to "The Good Lord" and their dressing Johnny up in a fancy Sunday outfit. The scene where Johnny is mocked for wearing a lace collar and called "a girlie" encourages children to dress according to their birth assigned gender, as not doing so could result in unhappiness. Johnny comforts Ginny when she cries, teaching young boys the concept of chivalry. Finally, Br'er Rabbit learns that he can't run away from his troubles, teaching children the concept of personal responsibility.

Unfortunately, the movie ended up an early victim of Disney's turn towards leftism in later years by being banned from getting rereleases outside of pirated editions, presumably due to various race-baiting actions by people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson by falsely implying the movie was inherently racist.

|''Sonic the Hedgehog ''
|2020
|PG
|Has the deuteragonist be a humble small town cop while the antagonist is an arrogant self-important (to the extreme) elitist doctor from the federal government. Also, the cop's sister-in-law, a sort of minor antagonist, may be a feminist (she appears to have left her husband and taken her daughter with her) and was always telling his wife to divorce him and she ultimately was left tied up and forgotten (by mistake) when she was going to turn the cop in to the federal government (he had punched the elitist Dr. Robotnik to keep him from capturing Sonic and was now hunted by the government.). Also, the protagonist, Sonic, while immature, is fairly self-sufficient, having lived alone on earth for a decade after being separated from his guardian Longclaw as a child. Sonic, who was told by the well-meaning Longclaw to live away from others so that they capture him to get to his powers, finally learns to face his problems and stop running. (However, it should be noted that there was one scene, while Sonic and the cop were on the run, they got into a barfight and, though they won it, Sonic made a remark , as they were fleeing, that he wasn't sure if they paid their tab and seemed to think it was funny, and stealing isn't cool. It is antics like this, though somewhat understandable for a character from another planet who suffered from loneliness and was never trained how to properly behave on earth as he lived alone for a decade, that make the protagonist a less-than-ideal role model for children.)

The villain's a [[Pagan]] goddess named Enchantress ( a rare film where liberal Hollywood actually portrays a Pagan as evil instead of the tragic hero nonsense we've seen). Also, even throughout the film is about supervillains, many of them regret their lives of crime, such as one of the characters Deadshot abandons his opportunity to kill Batman on his daughter's behalf and another character El Diablo who used his superpower for evil ends up accidentally killing his family, which has haunted him.
Moreover, in a dream sequence villain Harley Quinn shows her deepest desires which is being a housewife (points for having the guts for showing a female character not wanting to be part of the feminist agenda, especially in this day and age, even if it not surprisingly infuriated liberal critics<ref>http://www.avclub.com/article/margot-robbie-deserves-better-suicide-squads-sexis-240618</ref>).

|The first live-action adaptation of Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman's creations. Like the 1987 TV series, this movie greatly emphasizes the family themes with the turtles as brothers and Master Splinter as their adoptive father. The family themes are even more emphasized when Leonardo has an argument with Raphael, which results in Raph going off on his own, getting ambushed and nearly killed by the Foot Clan. Leonardo then regrets his actions and stands vigil over his unconscious brother, hoping that he will wake up so that Leo can apologize (and they do reconcile). Splinter gets kidnapped very early in the movie and the turtles are very distraught by his absence. The movie also paints hedonism and deliquency in a negative light, and the Foot Clan is shown to be a gang of teenage runaways taken in by Shredder who maintain a hideout full of vices such as smoking, drinking, and gambling. Shredder exploits them by giving them their hedonistic desires in exchange for their loyalty. this is most emphasized with the character of Danny Pennington, who is estranged from his father and runs away to join the Foot Clan. Later in the movie, Splinter reveals to Danny that Shedder is in fact Oroku Saki, the man responsible for killing his owner, Hamato Yoshi, and he convinces Danny to reconcile with his father.

He then remembers the importance of honoring his father and sacrifice for a greater good when his wicked trickster brother Loki, who seeks to claim the throne of Asgard for himself, sends after him the Destroyer, a ferocious automaton. Thor’s willingness to lay down his life so his friends can kill the Destroyer proves him worthy to regain his powers, defeat the automaton, and return to Asgard to overthrow Loki, who faces his own consequences for betraying the family (namely, being dropped into the vacuum of space, only to turn up alive after the credits, setting up the plot for another great conservative Marvel film, ''The Avengers'').

Although family friendly overall, it pulls no punches in showcasing the horrors of the French Revolution as well as the anti-Christian ideology behind it, including two of the key characters giving a full list of the various atrocities indulged by the French Revolution, including but not limited to the raiding of the Bastille, the September Massacres, and the unlawful execution of King Louis XVI, as well as heavily implying Satan's role in the revolution by frequently showing at various points, especially in scenes with Robespierre, a black hooded figure.

|''War of the Worlds''
|2005
|PG-13
|This rendition of H.G. Wells' classic 1898 novel without "The" in its title features Tom Cruise as Ray Ferrier, an initially easygoing and selfish working class man, who must watch his teenage son, Robbie and young daughter, Rachel, while his ex-wife and new husband visit her parents for the weekend. The movie's pro-family message comes entirely into focus, when the aliens arrive and force Ray and his children to flee. Throughout their time together, Ray clashes with Robbie, the latter critical of him as a father, but in the end, they reconcile, after the invaders are eliminated. The movie is also pro-military and highlights Robbie's bravery to join them in the fight against the invaders, despite Ray's protests.

|''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory''
|1971
|G
|Showing the importance of having character. Willy Wonka gives each of the kids on tour an Everlasting Gobstopper, which is a potential goldmine, given that a rival spy had earlier offered each of the kids money in exchange for handing over this new invention. Also, every single kid, except Charlie, misbehaves in such a way that injures or deforms them in some way. The film also promotes capitalism, with Wonka being such a successful business leader in the world of candy. In addition, this film is surely to annoy liberals, who want to ban chocolate candy and sweets.<ref>http://www.toberight.com/2012/02/liberals-banning-sweets-on-valentines-day/</ref>

The hidden message in this film is one of redemption. It is hidden because it is conveyed through the imagery of the film's final scene. Charlie has made it to the end of his journey. Despite having the urge, and a clean opportunity, to sell Wonka out to his rival, Charlie ends up giving the Everlasting Gobstopper back to Wonka. For this act of integrity, he is rewarded beyond his wildest expectations—he is given ownership of the factory. Incidentally, while he is riding in the Wonkavator, it crashes through the ceiling up into the sky. The [[allusion]] to [[Heaven]] and [[salvation]] is unmistakable.

|''[[101 Dalmatians]]''
|1961
|G
|Set in 1960s London, England, a Dalmatian couple named Pongo and Perdita welcome their fifteen puppies into the world. When the fur-obsessed Cruella De Vil and her henchmen steal the puppies, the Dalmatians cross the English countryside to get them back. The movie portray the importance of family positively in the form of Pongo and Perdita stopping at nothing until they rescue their puppies; they also adopt the other eighty-four puppies Cruella had bought to turn into fur coats, which shows family by adoption in a positive light. Marriage is also shown in a positive light in the form of a Christian wedding ceremony for the dogs' owners and the dogs themselves as well. It also positively portrays heroism in the forms of several animals (including Sergeant Tibbs the cat, Colonel the sheepdog, and Captain the horse) assisting the Dalmatians in finding their puppies and helping them all get home. A live-action remake was released in 1996.

|''A Bug's Life''
|1998
|G
|Based on the Aesop fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper", a young and inventive, if clumsy, ant named Flik plans to recruit a military force of warrior insects to save his colony from being oppressed by evil grasshoppers who have enslaved the ants to harvest food for them, lest they may be punished. Flik is a model for individualism as well as a strong work ethic who believes in bettering himself and his colony with his impressive harvesting inventions. To some extent, the film pokes fun at the homosexual agenda, in particular transvestitism: the male ladybug Francis frequently mistaken for a woman because of his species' name, and he routinely corrects other characters about this confusion, at one point even launching into a tirade with several flies before having to be restrained.

|''All Dogs go to Heaven''
|1989
|G
|The film's protagonist, a talking dog named Charlie B. Barkin (Voiced by Burt Reynolds), is a gambler and a swindler. After being murdered by his former partner, Carface, he comes back to life by winding his "life watch" and plans to get revenge on Carface. He "rescues" a girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by the late Judith Barsi) from Carface and exploits her ability to talk to animals in order to win at gambling. As the film progresses, Charlie begins to be influenced by Anne-Marie's kindness and love. In the end, he must choose between saving Anne-Marie's life and protecting his "life watch" (he will die if it ever stops) and he chooses the former.

The film depicts Christianity in a positive light. In addition to the obvious references to Heaven and Hell, Anne-Marie is also shown praying before she goes to bed, thanking God for Charlie's "rescue" (which, even though he had his own selfish purposes, did get her away from Carface's abuse).

The film is also pro-family. Anne-Marie is introduced as an orphan who wants to find new parents. During the movie, she meets a compassionate couple named Kate and Harold, who eventually adopt her.

|A movie dealing with immigration, the movie is pro-family due to Fieval, the main character, being separated from his family due to a storm, and him and his family going out of their way to find each other. Also has a subtle condemnation of machine politics ([[Tammany Hall]], in this case) and voter fraud due to one of the characters, "Honest" John, the implied mouse mayor of New York City, declaring a then-recently deceased mouse (who was implied to have died before he was old enough to vote) to be able to "vote from now on" before adding the mouse's name to a book (a clear allusion to ghost voters), with the mouse not being painted in a particularly good light. Also promotes legal immigration, and a redemption theme due to one of the antagonists, an orange tabby cat named Tiger, ultimately being befriended by Fieval and becoming an ally to the mice.

|''The Angry Birds Movie''
|2016
|PG
|Based on the video game app of the same name, the film has its moments of rude humor but surprisingly has a strong Anti-Illegal Immigration message with the pigs practically representing Islamic migrants (the villain, King Mudbeard, even looks like a Middle Eastern man). The pigs trick the birds into accepting them to live on their island and once they have their respect, steal their eggs and blow up their island (part of the collateral damage is a statue of a [[bald eagle]] no less). Red, the only bird who was suspicious of them from the beginning, is first demonized by the community because of this, but later forgiven after he is proven right and decides to fight back and rescue their eggs from the pigs.

|''Animal Farm'' (animated film)

|Animated film adaptation of the conservative text of the same name from George Orwell. Just like in the novel, it uses animals in the pretext of leveling harsh criticism against Communism and against Josef Stalin. Unlike in the book, which heavily implies that the pigs ultimately succeed in taking power with the animals being left unable to do anything against them, the film ends with the animals doing a successful revolt against the pigs, although the ending leaves it ambiguous as to whether the animals will learn their lesson on communism from the experience. It was also made in part by the [[CIA]].

|''Chicken Little''
|1943
|
|A Disney animated short (back when Conservatives were still in charge) that shows the dangers of listening to lies and rumors, and falling prey to persuasive leaders. The studio originally wanted to have the villain of the short, Foxy Loxy read Hitler's ''Mein Kampf'' to make sure no one missed the point, but in the end they changed it to just a generic psychology book in attempt to prevent the short from becoming dated after the war, although in the actual film, the passages he was heard reading were taken directly from ''Mein Kampf'', thus preserving the scene's original message overall.<ref>http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w2rTnQ7x68M/UkZ7sfQmfoI/AAAAAAAAHzE/SM9wrZ6A4vE/s1600/CLSB+9.jpg</ref> On a related note, the short is further evidence disproving various liberal claims that Walt Disney had been a fascist/Nazi supporter.

After entering the Land of the Dead, Miguel encounters Héctor, a down-on-his-luck skeleton who once played music with Ernesto.

|''Dinosaur''

|A clan of lemurs living on a tropical island finds an egg and raises a baby dinosaur from that egg: an ''Iguanodon'' named Aladar. When their island home is destroyed by a meteor shower years later, Aladar and four remaining lemurs join a herd of migrating dinosaurs on their way to their nesting grounds, all while predators lurk behind them. The movie portrays family - both by blood and adoption - very well, shown when the lemurs adopt and raise Aladar while he protects them in return. Even Kron - the herd's stubborn leader - and his sister Neera share a bond; Kron never acts harsh towards Neera, and Neera tries (but unfortunately fails) to save Kron from a ''Carnotaurus''. Aladar is also shown to be against [[Social Darwinism]], opposing Kron's strict belief that the old and weak should be left behind and helping the oldest dinosaurs in the herd keep up; his beliefs are also what gets Neera to like him, after watching him helping Eema the elderly ''Styracosaurus'' and two orphaned ''Iguanodons'' get some water. Redemption is also positively shown when Bruton - second-in-command to Kron - sacrifices himself to save the stragglers of the herd by bringing the cave down onto himself and a predator.

|''Dr. Seuss' The Grinch''
|2018
|PG
|Like the animated special and live-action film before it, the film retains the anti-nihilism and redemptive themes in the movie. The anti-materialism message also is further reinforced as Grinch's chance encounter with Cindy Lou Who has him learning that she didn't even intend to ask for presents, but rather to ease her mom's burden due to doing so many things for so many people, which ultimately acted as the catalyst for his redemption. Also has a promotion of family values, since as noted above, Cindy Lou Who expressed concern for her mom barely spending time being a mom and burning the wick at both ends, and a primary part of the Grinch's hatred for the holiday dealt with his time as an orphan, with it being heavily implied that he was alone even in the orphanage. Due to several scenes in the film with Christmas carols being sung, it is also one of the few movies to explicitly note that the point of Christmas was also a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

It also illustrates the effective management of a business that treats people and animals as equals. Later in the film, a flock of jolly birds encourage Dumbo to pull himself up by his bootstraps and learn to fly. An anti-bullying message is also shown with the elephants in the circus cruelly laughing at Dumbo and later blaming him for getting his mother locked up, though Timothy Q. Mouse sticks up for Dumbo and scares the other elephants to help him out.

Also has an anti-eminent domain lesson, with Kuzco realizes it would be wrong of him to steal the land from the villagers. The villain is also a feminist, with it being heavily implied that her methods of raising Kuzco are the primary reason why he turned out a spoiled brat. Is also a rare example of a comedy film churned out of Hollywood that actually does use witty humor and not low-hanging fruit-type jokes for its humor. It also has a humorous condemnation of homosexuality, as when Kuzco is knocked unconscious from the rapids, Pacha attempted to perform CPR only for Kuzco to regain consciousness just as Pacha was about start CPR, causing both to recoil in disgust from the near-kiss, as well as Kuzco explicitly making clear such was disgusting. Although the ending was slightly altered due to songwriter Sting, an environmentalist, taking offense at the implication that Kuzco built his summer retreat in the Jungle and cleared them away, it nonetheless retained the hints that Kuzco ultimately was a changed man from the experience.

He also shows off his dance moves with other bulls to snobbish horses, and even helps a Scottish bull named Angus be able to see by moving back the hair in front of his face.

|Benio Hanamura lost her mother when she was very young and has been raised by her father, a high-ranking official in the Japanese army. As a result, she has grown into a tomboy - contrary to traditional Japanese notions of femininity, she studies kendo, drinks sake, dresses in often ridiculous Western fashions instead of the traditional kimono, and isn't as interested in housework as she is in literature. She also rejects the idea of arranged marriages and believes in a woman's right to a career and to marry for love. Benio's best friends are the beautiful Tamaki, who is much more feminine than Benio but equally interested in women's rights, and Ranmaru, a young man who was raised to play female roles in the kabuki theater and as a result has acquired very effeminate mannerisms. One day, Benio has a series of embarrassing encounters with the handsome army lieutenant Shinobu Ijuin, only to receive a shock when her father tells her that Shinobu is to be her husband, due to a pact made between the Hanamura and Ijuin families before Benio's birth. At first Benio tries to fight against her father's wishes, attempting to elope with her friend Ranmaru and eventually deliberately erring in her wifely duties in every way imaginable, hoping the families will cancel the engagement. However, her scheme fails - Shinobu genuinely loves Benio and patiently forgives her for her many blunders, and Benio soon realizes that in spite of herself, she is also falling in love with him. However, a major in the army who holds a grudge against Shinobu then sends the young lieutenant to fight in Manchuria.

In the end, the grandson uses his vampiric powers to battle giant bats who attack the Dracula family for including humans in their lineage.

|2002
|PG
|In prehistoric times, a woolly mammoth, a giant ground sloth, and a ''Smilodon'' (i.e., saber-toothed tiger) work together to return a nomadic human chief's infant son to his tribe. Better than any of its four increasingly poorly-made sequels, this film promotes friendship and family values, especially on the part of Diego the ''Smilodon'', who learns that revenge does not solve anything: he first wants to eat the infant as payback for losing half of his pack to human hunters but grows to like the child and appreciate the innocence he represents. Manny also undergoes similar development, originally not being fond of the infant and overall being cynical and unpleasant for reasons later revealed by a cave painting to be due to his own mate and child having been slaughtered by a tribe of humans, but then ultimately forms a bit of a bond with him for similar reasons to why Diego grew to like the child. There are a couple of characters named Carl and Frank who are heavily implied to be homosexual, although they were depicted in a very negative light, having a murderous hatred of Sid for very trivial reasons (namely, the fact that Sid accidentally ruined their salad due to trying to wipe off poop he stepped on by accident as well as obliviously eating a dandelion, with Manny having some disgust for them when learning they wanted to kill Sid for pleasure, and later after Sid called them "ladies" upon reaching the wrong spa, and only failed to kill him that time due to Sid and Diego tricking them into believing the latter killed him.).

|''[[The Incredibles]]''
|2004
|PG
|The world's superheroes are forced to give up their heroics and go into hiding after Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible saves a suicidal man as well as a derailed train from a bridge destroyed by one of his enemies (who ironically gets away with it). The populace misguidedly turns on superheroes and turn to unscrupulous lawyers to sue them, despite the real damage being caused by the supervillains.

The film celebrates the importance of the family unit: Helen Parr/Elastigirl fails at parenting when Bob neglects to help her raise their children. A traditional family of superheroes is portrayed as the saviors of society, whose importance and presence has been unfairly suppressed thanks to the liberal-dominated mainstream media and its preference to see the worst in people. In addition, Mr. Incredible is shown from the start to take marriage to Helen seriously, immediately heading over to his wedding when he realizes he may be running late and doing various crime-stopping when he has time before it.

The movie also contains the conservative idea that recognition should be based on merit rather than on unsubstantiated expectations of equality. Out of sheer jealousy, the villainous Syndrome, formerly Mr. Incredible's biggest fan, attempts to kill off real superheroes so he can use technology to pretend to be one, later planning to sell his gadgets so everyone in the world can have superpowers. "And when everyone is super," he explains, "no one will be." Earlier in the film, Dash, when explaining he pulled a prank on the school teacher simply so he could demonstrate his super-speed, echoes what Syndrome says later on: Helen states everyone was special in their own way by saying that it was simply another way of saying no one was truly special. When Mr. Incredible is asked to attend his son's fifth-grade graduation, he criticizes society for "celebrating mediocrity" instead of those who are "genuinely exceptional."

At Bob Parr's civilian job, employer Gilbert Huph is shown to be heartless but not because of capitalism: when Bob asks if he should help his customers, Gilbert tells him, "The law requires that I answer no", which shows the negativity of government regulation in business.

Overall, the film teaches against government-enforced mediocrity. This film may be the most conservative animation film ever made, in fact it is ranked Number 2 by National Review for the most conservative movies within the last 25 years. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150122222200/https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/177317/2-best-conservative-movies-last-25-years/frederica-mathewes-greene</ref> A sequel was released in 2018.

|''Isle Of Dogs''
|2018
|PG-13
|Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around. The mayor's nephew and ward, Atari, heads over to the island to find his dog Spots and is befriended by five dogs (Chief, Rex, King, Boss, and Duke), who all decide to help him find Spots. Along the way, they discover that the mayor has hidden sinister motives behind banning all dogs from Megasaki. Totalitarian rule is rightfully condemned, with Mayor Kobayashi arranging for the death of a scientist when said man finds a cure for dog flu. The movie also condemns animal cruelty, as shown in the case of Kobayashi's anti-dog propaganda and Gondo's "cannibal" pack, who have been subjected to scientific experiments until an "act of God" rescued them. It also shows family and redemption in a positive light, for Mayor Kobayashi has taken Atari in after his parents were killed and decides to abandon his anti-dog plans once he sees how much Atari has gone through, even donating a kidney once the boy's remaining kidney fails.

|''[[Lady and the Tramp]]''
|1955
|G
|In this beloved Disney classic, which was known as Walt Disney’s Happiest Motion Picture, Lady a cocker spinal meets and falls in love with a male stray mongrel known as the Tramp. While aside from the film being pro-family, the dogs to whatever they can to protect the human baby from the rat, in showing [[chivalry]]. In addition, Lady condemns Tramp for having other girlfriends, after finding out from the pound dogs that his only weakness is that he is a womanizer, thus showing infidelity and promiscuity in a very negative light. In the end, he becomes faithful to her and joins her human family. There also anti-environmentalist aspects as well, with the dogs learning to understand their place, that although humans come first they still have a place in their heart, as the beliefs Tramp had on humans being so cruel turned out to be false. Also, the iconic Bella Notte scene where they accidentally kiss by eating the same spaghetti took place and was served by the kind-hearted capitalist restaurant owner Tony. On top of that, this is a rarity in Disney Animation to have Christmas depicted in the film and shown in a positive light.

In 2000, a sequel starring Scamp - the son of Lady and Tramp - premiered on home video. A live-action remake was released and streamed on Disney+ in November 2019.

|''The Land Before Time''
|1988
|G
|In this film that promotes family values and friendship, the main character (Littlefoot) is a dinosaur that loses his mother. This sparked some controversy, because the killing of a family member is quite violent for a movie with a kid-targeted audience, but this movie redeems itself through the plot. Littlefoot finds friends throughout the movie that show team work, cooperation, hard work, and diligence are the key to living a successful life, even in the dinosaur world. Over the span of twenty-eight years, thirteen sequels had been released on home video. On the good side, the sequels have good conservative values like family and friendship; on the bad side, they lack the impact that the 1988 movie had.

|''Lilo & Stitch''
|2002
|PG
|In this heartwarming Disney animation, Experiment 626—a short but mischievous, [[koala]]-like beast created by an alien mad scientist (an origin similar to the monster's in the conservative novel ''Frankenstein'' and its 1931 film adaptation)—escapes from an interstellar prison and crashes down in Hawaii, where a lonely girl mistakes him for a dog, adopts him, and names him "Stitch." Stitch then gradually abandons his destructive ways and begins seeking love and friendship. The film is so delightfully pro-family that the tagline is, "''Ohana'' means family [in Hawaiian]. Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten." Also briefly pokes fun at environmentalist policies, as the climax reveals that Earth was nearly subject to an alien invasion in 1973, but the CIA Agent-turned child welfare services agent Cobra Bubbles managed to thwart it by claiming that the Earth was designated a breeding ground for an endangered species called [[mosquito]]es (which obviously weren't endangered at all).

|''[[The Lion King]]''
|1994
|G
|Based mainly upon the Shakespearean play ''Hamlet'', the main message of this box office smash hit is about the power of the individual and the triumph of faith, friendship, hope, and heroism. ''The Lion King'' also features subtle Christian messages, such as honoring one's father and reconciliation.

Its story takes partial inspiration from Scripture, particularly the stories of [[Joseph]] and [[Moses]]. On a side note, the film features the power-hungry main antagonist Scar, who kills his own brother, the ruling king Mufasa, to usurp the throne, then manipulates his nephew, Mufasa's young son Simba, into thinking that Simba is responsible for his father's death and forces him into exile. Scar is a model liberal because, once he becomes ruler, he favors [[Communism|Communistic]]/[[Fascism|fascistic]] big government, pushes [[liberal values]], and lets their Pride Lands territory fall to ruin. In addition, when rallying up the Hyenas to aid him in killing Mufasa, he vows that they will never starve under his rule, mirroring what various Communist and other leftist insurgents often vow when trying to get people to aid them in taking over a government. The song "Be Prepared" also shows the Hyenas [[goose step|goose stepping]] past Scar as he looks down from a cliff in a clear reference to Nazism. On a similar note, the Hyenas also act as a subtle condemnation against illegal immigration and the concept of open borders, as once the Hyenas merge with the Pride Lands and take it over upon Scar becoming king, it is heavily implied that they forced the Lionesses to overhunt and that ended up causing the Pride Lands territory to become a wasteland by driving out any remaining animals, with Scar indicating that they should "eat Zazu" if they want food.

At several points in the film, Scar delusively believes he is still a very good king, even claiming "I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!", which is similar to liberal delusions of their own skills in governing (i.e., Obama's later claim that he would have "won" reelection into a third term if he was able to run again, despite never being legally qualified to run in the first place, not to mention his being legally barred from running for a third term even if he were legally qualified to run in the first place per the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to the United States Constitution). He unsuccessfully attempts to orchestrate the assassination of Simba by using hyena minions and even attempts to kill him himself, to ensure that he will be king and remain so forevermore, but he is thwarted by Simba once the cub reaches adulthood. Simba effectively becomes King and restores the Pride Lands after Scar, who tries to save his own skin by blaming his minions for everything he orchestrated himself, has the hyenas turn against and kill him.

There is a slight condemnation towards anarchy in the film as well: during the song "Be Prepared", the hyena Shenzi, upon learning that Scar is planning to kill Mufasa and Simba, entertains the possibility of a kingless society before Scar sternly tells the laughing hyenas that he intends to be the king. Finally, the film condemns hedonism, as the misfit meerkat and warthog comic reliefs Timon and Pumbaa, while depicted as genuinely heroic at times, engage in a philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" ("No Worries" in Swahili), which is shown overall to be negative.

In addition, the film proved to be a massive runaway hit despite having a completely new production team working on it due to then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg believing it to end up a flop due to it featuring "talking animals" while he thought the Worst Liberal Movie ''Pocahontas'', which he helmed with the usual production team, would be the financial hit and Oscar winner (in reality, ''Pocahontas'' got mixed reviews and did fairly badly at the box office).

The movie spawned two direct-to-video sequels and two TV series, as well as a Broadway musical that retained much of the same themes as the movie. A photorealistic remake was released in July 2019, directed by Jon Favreau due to his success with the 2016 remake of ''The Jungle Book''.

|''The Little Mermaid''
|1989
|G
|An adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale of the same name, it was about a mermaid strives to become a traditional female human, following the patriarchal system of society. It also promotes the concept of [[assimilation]], as the mermaid: Ariel when becoming human intended to adopt the culture of the humans upon doing so. The film centers around conservative Christian values and contains an anti-feminism theme. Ariel is shown to be the antithesis of a modern feminist. The villain Ursula is shown in a devilish and beastly way (appearing as half-woman, half-octopus), and her claims about men not wanting women who talk and care only for a woman's body language (a common claim by [[feminism|feminists]] against males) is made clear to be lies. On a similar note, it also has an implicit anti-homosexuality theme, as Ursula's overall design was derived largely from the infamous drag queen Divine. In addition, it also contains a pro-traditional marriage theme and is the last Disney animated feature film to actually treat traditional marriage in a positive light for a good while.

Despite being set under the sea, it also features an anti-[[Environmentalism]] and anti-racism message, as the characters (namely King Triton) who pushed anti-human sentiments turned out to be wrong in their negative views on humans. Although often ignored by liberal reviewers complaints about the movie (some of whom also adhered to the feminist ideology and thus falsely implied that Ariel solely wanted to become human because of Eric, which led directly to promoting the feminist agenda in ''Beauty and the Beast''.<ref name="Woolverton and Belle" />), it was also pro-family, as during her deal with Ursula, Ariel was explicitly hesitant to undergo the deal citing that, regardless of which way the deal goes, she won't see her father and sisters again. King Triton, after destroying Ariel's grotto in a fit of anger, is clearly shown afterward to be immensely remorseful of his actions after it became apparent that Ariel fled from him as a result, and later tries to save Ariel after learning about Ursula's role in her disappearance and even opts to sacrifice himself to ensure Ariel's (and, implied via dialogue regarding Ursula shortly afterward, her sisters') safety, and Ariel upon witnessing Triton being cursed by Ursula, immediately attempts to avenge him by attacking Ursula.

It also shows a perfect allegory towards liberalism's deceit and cheating to ensure success and its unwillingness to keep its word, as well as the promotion of character integrity and doing things fair and square, as when Ariel seemed to have failed at gaining Eric's love, she makes absolutely no attempt at stopping the marriage until after learning that his "bride", Vanessa (in reality, Ursula in disguise), had in fact brainwashed Prince Eric and that he didn't choose to marry her, with it being implied that Ursula violated her end of the deal when she did that action, and even when she does in fact fail, Ariel makes absolutely no effort to resist Ursula's dragging her away. Likewise, Ursula, besides her blatant interference with the deal by disguising herself as Vanessa and brainwashing Eric, also arranged to have Flotsam and Jetsam overturn Eric and Ariel's boat specifically to ensure that Eric and Ariel couldn't kiss when it looked like Ariel could in fact win her end of the deal fair and square, and after she curses Triton and Ariel attempts to attack Ursula in retaliation, Ursula heavily implies before Eric saved Ariel that she's going to kill the latter despite having promised to not harm Ariel.

The movie's box office success also led directly to a rejuvenation in Disney's animated features called the Disney Renaissance, and the film also had a prequel TV series carrying much of the same themes airing on CBS and later on the Disney Channel from 1992 to 1994, as well as two comic book series by Disney Comics and Marvel that carried many of the same themes, and a sequel and prequel film that, although overall promoting many of the same themes, had questionable production quality. A live-action remake is currently in production.

|''Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back''

|The movie showcases the consequences with the concept of playing God where the main antagonist Mewtwo, a clone, was shown to be disturbed at the revelation that he may have only been created to be the purposes of being a tool (with the message being more pronounced in the Japanese version due to religious censorship during dubbing). It also promotes the idea of self-worth and how the circumstances of one's birth don't matter so much as they try to push good, with Mewtwo ultimately being reformed upon learning this message. It also has an anti-cloning message, due to Mewtwo's aforementioned disturbance at his origins.

The cartoon even explains of how Adolf Hitler had destroyed reason and logic by appealing to emotion (like fear, hate, pride, and sympathy) in the Germans' minds. At the end of the cartoon, Reason and Emotion come to an agreement to balance things out: Reason's job is to think, plan, and discriminate, while Emotion's job is to be a fine, strong emotion that loves his country, freedom, and life. On a related note, the reference to Hitler and his being condemned for destroying reason and logic also acts as more evidence that in spite of various leftist claims post-mortem, Walt Disney was never a Nazi supporter.

It also promotes the concept of the American Dream as well as capitalism, as the main protagonist dreams of becoming an inventor like Bigweld (who is depicted in a similar manner to Walt Disney) and also left to try and get his family to have a greater opportunity. It also manages to condemn corporate corruption without advocating for more government control or demonizing Capitalism, as while the new management of Bigweld industries was shown to be extensively corrupt and cynical, Bigweld himself, as well as the company that it originally stood for, was painted in a very positive light.

|''The Secret of NIMH''
|1982
|G
|This family-friendly film includes Mrs Brisby, who is a widowed mouse. She lives on a farm owned by a man named Fitzgibbons. She and her 4 children, Martin, Theresa, Cynthia and Timmy live in a cinderblock in one of Fitzgibbons' fields. Every year, before Fitzgibbons plows the field to plant his crops, the family moves to their summer home to avoid the tractor. Nearby is another mouse, Dr Ages, who is the family doctor. Brisby visits Ages to get a remedy for Timmy, who has come down with pneumonia, potentially delaying the summer move. Fitzgibbons decides one day to begin plowing the field early. Brisby desperately tries to disable the farmer's tractor and freezes while climbing up the mechanism. Auntie Shrew intervenes and pulls out the tractor's gas line, halting the machine. While Mrs Brisby sobs over her predicament, Auntie tells her to be braver for her family's sake and suggests she visit the Great Owl, the wisest creature in the forest. Brisby is hesitant, since owls eat mice, but she goes. With the help of a new found friend, Jeremy, a crow hoping to meet Miss Right, and whom Mrs Brisby untangled from a pile of string he was trapped in, she meets with the fearsome owl, who merely tells her that she must move her family. Mrs Brisby explains the complication with her son Timmy and the owl tells her he has no solution. As he leaves, he learns her last name and becomes more helpful because her husband, Jonathan, was well known and respected throughout the woods. The Owl tells Mrs Brisby to go to the colony of rats that live in the farmer's rose bush and ask them for help. He specifically tells her to have the rats move her house to "the lee of the stone", the protected side of a large rock in the field that Fitzgibbons avoids when plowing. Mrs Brisby sneaks into the rose bush and finds that the rats have built a very modern colony that makes use of electricity that they pilfer from Fitzgibbons. She also meets Dr Ages there, whom at first tells her the rose bush is off-limits but is astonished that she had met with the Great Owl and lived. They are discovered by the rats' captain of the guard, Justin, who takes them to the rats' Senate room. As they enter, a charismatic rat, Jenner, is railing to the council about the plan of the rats' leader, Nicodemus, who wants to abandon the rose bush and move to a location called Thorn Valley where they'll found a new colony based on their own labors, rather than stealing supplies from the farmer. Jenner is opposed to the idea and even suggest that they wage war against any humans who attempt to drive them out. Justin and Ages make Mrs Brisby's case to the council, who agree to the request because she is Jonathan Brisby's wife. In a sinister private meeting with his associate, Sullivan, Jenner plots to have Nicodemus killed during the operation and make it look accidental. Justin takes Mrs Brisby to meet with Nicodemus. A very old, kind and wise leader, he tells Mrs Brisby the rats' history: they were all lab animals imprisoned in NIMH, the National Institutes of Mental Health. Injected with experimental compounds, the rats developed intelligent brains and were able to escape their cages, along with several mice including Jonathan and Mr Ages. During their escape, all but two of the mice, Johnathan and Mr Ages, were sucked into the ventilation system by strong air gusts. When the party were trapped by a vent grating, Jonathan was small enough to crawl through and open the grate. The rats subsequently owed Jonathan their lives and he continued to work with them while they built their colony. Some months prior to Mrs Brisby's visit to the rose bush, Jonathan had been killed by Fitzgibbons' ornery and fearsome cat, Dragon, whom the rats had been trying to drug. Nicodemus gives Brisby a large red amulet and tells her that it has great supernatural powers when someone shows true courage of the heart. Nicodemus says that the rats will be happy to repay their life debt to Jonathan's family and will move her home. For the operation to succeed, Dragon will have to be drugged. Mrs Brisby, feeling she should participate, volunteers to spike Dragon's feeding dish. The only way into Fitzgibbons' kitchen is through a small hole under a sideboard, a hole too small for any rat. The plan goes well until Mrs Brisby runs back and is trapped by Fitzgibbons' son. Justin leaves her, having to supervise the operation, promising to come back for her. While she's trapped in a bird cage, Brisby overhears Fitzgibbons on the phone with NIMH, who want to come to his farm and capture the rats. Brisby realizes the situation is now more desperate and escapes the bird cage by knocking out its small water cup. At the site of the Brisby home, the rats have constructed an elaborate system of ropes and blocks and tackles to lift the cinderblock. While the block is being swung towards the stone, Jenner cuts the anchoring lines with his sword and the block falls, narrowly missing Nicodemus, however, the heavy gears and rope fall on him, killing him. Jenner declares the operation a failure and suggests they leave when Mrs Brisby arrives. Justin tells her that her family is alive but Nicodemus is dead. She suddenly remembers her urgent news that NIMH will be at the farm tomorrow and tells the rats they must leave tonight. Jenner refuses to believe her and tells the rats that he will take over leadership of the colony. When Mrs Brisby insists she's telling the truth, Jenner strikes her and notices that she's wearing the amulet. Attempting to seize it from her, Justin intervenes and fights with Jenner until he wounds him. Jenner admits that he'd caused the accident that killed Nicodemus, saying that the plan to move the colony would fail. As he moves in to kill Justin, Sullivan kills Jenner with a thrown dagger and succumbs to his own wound, inflicted by Jenner himself when he'd given his own sword to Justin during the fight. Moments later, Mrs Brisby sees that her house has begun to sink into the mud, taking her children with it. A futile attempt to rig a new roping system fails and Brisby herself vainly pulls at the remaining ropes as the house sinks under the surface. Justin rescues her, holding her back. As she looks on in horror, the amulet suddenly bursts from the mud, brightly glowing, and places itself around her neck. Using the power that Nicodemus spoke of, she raises the house from the mud and moves it to the lee side of the stone. Brisby's children are safe and she faints from exhaustion. The next morning, with Timmy on the mend from his pneumonia and the now-abandoned rose bush being inspected by NIMH, Jeremy arrives with mounds of string that he'd been collecting to build a love nest and finds the Brisby home already moved and even camouflaged by the natural vegetation. He asks Brisby for the amulet, however, she'd given it to Justin before they'd left the rose bush. While he laments that he wasn't able to help move the house, a female crow suddenly flies into him. The two become immediately infatuated. While Brisby's daughter wraps her mother's hands which were burned by the amulet, Auntie Shrew arrives for a visit, bringing groans from Martin as Jeremy and his new love fly off. This movie's interesting plot, and its complicated themes that are apparent are both entertaining for adults and kids alike. Although there are some references to violent themes, it does not paint them in good lighting and shows the harsh consequences. Because of their wide audience appeal, this movie was wildly successfully in movie theaters. The Secret of NIMH is considered to be one the best children's movies of the 20th century.

Bo even rescues King Herod's two dogs from a cliff, which results in the two dogs changing from bad to good and vowing to do good, thus showing that villains in movies can choose to leave their evil ways behind.

|''Toy Story'' tetralogy
|1995, 1999, 2010, 2019
|G
|Altogether, the four films celebrate friendship and family unity, even if it focuses more on a figurative family with the boy Andy as a father-figure to his toys, who come alive in humans' absence and praise Andy for loving and playing with them as though they were his children.

In the first installment, the world's first computer-animated theatrical feature, pull-string cowboy doll Sheriff Woody grows jealous when science fiction hero action figure Buzz Lightyear, who initially believes he is a real space hero, becomes young Andy's favorite toy among the toy community. Woody's efforts to make himself Andy's favorite toy again cause both him and Buzz to be separated from their owner, but teamwork allows them to find their way back to Andy just before he and his family move to a new house. The film's overall development was especially notable due to then-Disney Animation chairman [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] initially ordering for ''Toy Story'' to be made significantly more liberal in its values by being more "adult, cynical, [and] edgy". This included depicting Woody and the other toys in a significantly more mean-spirited light, with Woody going so far as to actually attempt to murder Buzz with no remorse whatsoever (instead of accidentally knocking Buzz out of the window, as he does in the final film). This caused Toy Story to be almost canceled and Pixar itself to be nearly shut down until the company was given a second chance.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2010/07/07/we-love-pixar-how-hollywood-cynicism-almost-ruined-toy-story-and-pixar/</ref>

In ''Toy Story 2'', while Andy is away at summer camp, Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector and is tempted by the idea of being immortalized in a museum, only to be rescued by his friends and reminded of a toy's true purpose: for a child to play with it. Once again, the film positively portrays teamwork and family unity using a metaphor of unity between toys and their owners.

''Toy Story 3'' sees a nearly-grown Andy ready to leave for college and leave most of his toys except Woody in a garbage bag to be stored in his attic, but his mother mistakes it for a bag of real trash. Woody follows the toys as they make their way to a dreadful daycare center, unable to convince them of the misunderstanding. Nihilism and totalitarianism are portrayed in a strongly negative light in the form of Lotso the jealous teddy bear, who denounces all toys as being "destined for the scrapheap" and acts as a brutal dictator over the daycare toys.

''Toy Story 4'', the final movie in the series, shows Woody taking on a guardian role for Bonnie's newly-made toy, Forky. When Forky gets lost, Woody finds him and tries to take him back home, but they end up at a carnival. There, Woody reunites with his lost love Bo Beep (who had been absent from the third movie and had run away) and has to make a choice: stay with Bo Peep at the carnival, or stick with his friends and Bonnie. Like with the other three films, this film shows family, friendship, and teamwork in a positive light.
|-
|''Up''
|2009
|PG
|This tear-jerking, pro-family Pixar animation stars Carl Fredricksen, an elderly widower balloon salesman who is about to be forced off his land but refuses to sell his house (likely promoting individualism triumphing over a liberal collectivist government). Carl ties thousands of balloons to his house and sets off on the South American vacation that he promised his wife Ellie while she was still alive, showing the inherent sacredness of marriage and how it should be continuously honored even after a spouse dies. In the end, he adopts young Russell, a fatherless Wilderness Explorer (a spoof of the Boy Scouts) who joins him on his adventure, as his surrogate grandson, which celebrates family unity. The film takes a light jab at divorce, too, as it is implied that Russell's parents no longer live together, leaving the boy heartbroken until Carl adopts him. Lastly, an overarching theme of the film states that a person is never too old or too young to follow his or her dreams.

|''Wreck-It Ralph''
|2012
|PG
|Ralph, a villain from a retro, 1980s-esque video game who wants to escape after being typecast for about 30 years as the poor and medal-less guy, is encouraged to use his equal opportunities to do better and pursue his own successes. This is the basis of the American Dream: the goal of overcoming one's present, lowly circumstances to achieve a state of greatness. Trying to achieving this goal by theft is shown as the wrong way to do so. In addition, the main antagonist is a competition-hating villain who has deceitfully hidden his true identity and origin, who has pushed liberal values in the video game where he rules and established what looks like a fixed economy because only he can win. The film also pushes anti-illegal immigrant messages as well, with the main villain and minor villains trying to take over other worlds.

It promotes the American Dream, individuality, racial equality, and subtle Christian values such as forgiveness and reconciliation, as well as responsible capitalism. Despite having a brief appearance by a homosexual couple, they're only very, ''very'' minor characters, and the movie largely downplays their sinful beliefs about their sexuality. It won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature of 2016.

Also takes down the various liberal critiques that occurred. Aside from the obvious condemnations against Clinton and his followers, it also has a brief criticism of Obama for repeating several falsehoods about how they stopped the terrorists responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center attack (in particular, claiming they just arrested the terrorists and treated them to a court of law like any other criminal).

It also makes clear the racism that motivated the latter had direct roots to the Progressive movement of the United States and by extension, the Democrat Party, and that the conventional wisdom of Fascism was of the right-wing of politics was one of the left's biggest lies and that fascism if anything was of the left. On a similar note, it also makes clear the connection between Mussolini's fascism and Marxism, and also indicates that the issue of slavery was another form of socialism. Also makes clear that the white supremacist founder of the alt-Right [[Richard Spencer]] and the Charlottesville Rally organizer [[Jason Kessler]] had in fact been left-wingers posing as right-wingers. Similarly it also makes clear that Antifa and George Soros, despite claiming they were "anti-Fascist", were in fact fascists (also exposing the latter's role in the confiscation of objects held by his neighbors by the Nazis). As implied by the title, it also compares the turbulent times that was orchestrated by the left after Donald Trump was elected to the events of the Civil War under Lincoln.

|On the one hand, the strong and courageous U.S. President James Marshall (Harrison Ford), a military veteran, takes an uncompromising stance against Russian terrorists who hijack his airplane. The major themes include family, authority, respect for the military, and sacrifice for the greater good. On the other hand, however, the script-writer for the film has admitted that he made the film largely to promote then-president [[Bill Clinton]].<ref>https://www.salon.com/july97/entertainment/movieair970725.html "But Bill Clinton is the first president to spawn movies that feature fictional presidents functioning as his stand-ins, movies made by directors fighting to define, and redefine, his image.....Air Force One" is a fantasy of what it might take for President Clinton to become all things to all people. The movie's Clinton stand-in, President James Marshall (Harrison Ford, appropriately displaying the facial mobility of Mount Rushmore), is a leader who defies his timid advisors in his efforts to set policies against injustice and tyranny and is willing to take on Congress to enforce those policies. But this is a fantasy designed to silence Clinton's conservative critics, so not only is Jim Marshall a dedicated family man, but he's a Vietnam War hero to boot. There's a combo you can't beat, a guy who knows how to kill a Commie and keep his pecker in his pocket."</ref> In addition, Bill Clinton also had a direct role in the casting of at least one of the characters, as Glenn Close had reluctantly played the role of the movie's Vice President at the latter's request.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20060319090508/http://vikingphoenix.com/news/archives/1997/hdot9702.htm/</ref>

|''Aladdin''
|1992
|G
|Based on the classic Arabian folk tale ''Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'', a poor but charitable thief is sent by Jafar, a sinister vizier to a sultan, to search for a mysterious oil lamp rumored to contain unbelievably powerful magic. Upon finding this, he accidentally releases the comical genie inside, who grants his wish to become a prince so he can legally court Jasmine, the sultan's daughter. On the one hand, the film is set within what is implied to be a Muslim state, and Aladdin does resort to lying to try and marry Jasmine. A slight feminist bent is present because Jasmine refuses to marry, ignoring the law requiring it (although not nearly to the same extent as with Belle and ''Beauty and the Beast''.). In addition, some lyrics to the opening song were notably cut due to fears of offending the Muslim populace, implying the film is politically correct in nature. The Sultan is shown to be a massive bumbler and overgrown child, which may hint at an anti-parenthood agenda. But on the other hand, the film does ultimately push character integrity because Aladdin ultimately decides against lying and tells Jasmine the truth about himself. Disregarding the film's politically correct treatment of Islam, it ultimately showcases some more negative elements of Islamic culture via a vendor nearly chopping Jasmine's hand off when she "steals" some food to feed a starving child, as well as depicting Prince Achmed in a very negative light via his cruelty to Aladdin and children attempting to stop him. The prince is implied to be a poor example of a husband, so it is subtly implied that Jasmine refused to marry because all the princes she encountered had in fact been as bad as Achmed. She then falls for Aladdin because he saves her life and shows kindness to her. In addition, it is made clear that while Aladdin does steal and initially had an infamous reputation for his thefts, it's solely in order to survive on the streets, with it being heavily implied that he was an orphan, and he also selflessly gives his stolen food to starving children after initially planning to eat it. There is a lesser condemnation against the occult as the only explicit magic-user besides Aladdin's Genie is Jafar, the main villain who dreams of becoming the world's most powerful dark sorcerer.

The theft of the crystal to become rich could be seen as a condemnation of capitalism. That being said, however, capitalism has also been promoted in a more positive light in the form of Preston B. Whitmore, an eccentric but ultimately good-hearted billionaire who funded the expedition in the first place, and in addition, most of the principal cast was shown to have dreams of getting a better lot in society, with it being heavily implied in the ending that they ultimately succeeded in achieving those dreams after selflessly trying to save Atlantis, which acts as an implicit promotion of both capitalism and the American Dream.

|''Austin Powers'' franchise
|1997, 1999, 2002
|PG-13
|A series of films that parodied spy films such as the [[James Bond]] franchise. On the one hand, liberal values are promoted such as Austin Power's promiscuous swinger nature being promoted as a positive, as well as usage of scatological humor throughout. In addition, one of the villains, Frau Farbissina, is mentioned to have been a founder of the militant faction of the Christian organization [[The Salvation Army]]. The first film also downplays the Cold War and the death of Communism by mentioning that the 1980s were among the "unimportant decades" in Austin Power's crash course. On the other hand, it does promote some chivalrous aspects, as Austin in the first film made it very clear to Vanessa Kinsington, the daughter of his former partner that not even he was willing to have sex with a woman who had too much to drink, and there is an implicit promotion of [[Gay Conversion Therapy]], as Farbissina was established as a lesbian in the second movie, yet after sleeping with Dr. Evil (a parody of [[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]], in particular the version from ''[[You Only Live Twice (film, 1967)|You Only Live Twice]]'' portrayed by Donald Pleasance.) in the past, she ended up becoming pregnant (with Scott Evil, Dr. Evil's son, being the byproduct of the affair), and it is implied afterward as well as in the third movie ''Goldmember'' that she became straight afterward and genuinely loved Dr. Evil, enjoying a kiss that with him that was otherwise meant to slip a key to him to aid in his escape. Family values are also given a slight promotion, as Farbissina defended Scott Evil from Dr. Evil's otherwise abusive actions to him, and part of the third movie involved Scott and Dr. Evil growing closer to their relationship, and it is also revealed that Dr. Evil was in fact Austin's brother, leading to some redemption for the latter, and the third movie makes clear that some of Austin's problems were the result of his father Nigel being a neglectful father. The second movie also has an anti-body positive message as well with Fat [censored].

|1985
|PG
|Musically gifted but slacking highschooler Marty McFly is invited by his energetic, quirky scientist friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown to witness the birth of his greatest invention: a time-traveling DeLorean automobile. After Doc Brown is shot and killed by Libyan terrorists, whom he tricked to gain plutonium fuel needed to make his car travel through time, Marty escapes in the DeLorean and travels 30 years into the past, where he meets his parents as teenagers and accidentally becomes his mother Lorraine's new love interest. He then meets with the young Doc Brown, who volunteers to help him return to 1985 and warns him that he will cease to exist if he does not ensure that his parents fall in love at their high school prom. Marty ultimately succeeds in reuniting his future parents by encouraging his teenage father George to stand up to bully Biff Tannen in Lorraine's honor. In the process, he saves Doc Brown by sending him a note warning of the terrorist attack. Overall, the movie contains some conservative messages such as the triumph of chivalry, the evils of terrorism, and the negative effects of deviancy and drug/alcohol addiction. At the same time, it promotes premarital sexual activity and disregard for chastity. Included two sequels in 1989 and 1990.

|1942
|G
|Animated adaptation of the German children's book of the same name; the setting is changed from Europe to Maine, USA for a more familiar audience. Environmental and anti-hunting messages are pushed (although it should be noted that the main antagonist, "Man", is technically closer to a poacher than a true hunter due to his killing a nursing doe and also trying to kill Bambi, a fawn, both of which are strictly prohibited by hunters), but it is also pro-family due to Bambi's mother giving her life to save her son, and the Great Forest Prince, who is heavily implied to be Bambi's father, went out of his way to protect Bambi from the hunter three times, even rescuing his son from a forest fire. It also was anti-homosexual agenda and way ahead of its time in refuting claims of [[animal homosexuality]], as the character Flower, a skunk, is depicted in childhood as a very effeminate male, yet when he became an adult, he evidently was aroused by a female skunk and ultimately became a father as well.

|September 25, 2012 (Part 1) January 29, 2013 (Part 2) October 8, 2013 (Deluxe Edition)
|PG-13
|An animated two-part adaptation of Frank Millar's comic book Elseworld story of the same name where Batman is forced to resume his duties after crime reached record highs in Gotham. The movie is anti-Crime, and also depicts homosexuality and sexual deviancy in a very negative light, including making a connection between homosexuality and Nazis via a transgendered Nazi criminal, and the Joker is portrayed in a similar manner to Paul Lynde. It also mocks to a certain degree anti-war politicians, as the mayor (a likely democrat) attempts to negotiate with the Mutant leader in jail to get him to call off the Mutants' war on Gotham only to have his throat torn out, with his vice-mayor repeating the same concessions. On the same note, it also showcases the negatives of pseudo-sciences as a psychologist was depicted as being a quack who ended up making Two-Face's insanity even worse despite repairing his face, and was ultimately responsible for letting the Joker escape Arkham Asylum due to the latter faking being cured. That all being said, however, it does feature some anti-Reagan messaging, and also condemns the military due to Joker trying to instigate a nuclear war between America and the Soviets, and America striking first as a result, and it was also revealed that a military general had provided the mutant gang with enough military arms to start a small war.

|''Beauty and the Beast''
|1991
|G
|A young woman overcomes a shallow society and finds true love. Although by comparison a powerful and immensely popular antidote to [[feminism]] to the [[liberal]] movies churned out by [[Disney]] since, as well as overall promoting redemption (as seen with the Beast's transformation), and also promoting some family values (such as Belle being loyal to her father), there were a few hints at feminist propaganda at the beginning of the film, such as Belle being different from the villagers because she can read, which is implied to not be supported by the villagers at all (feminist propaganda often falsely claims that women couldn't get an education until the 1960s), as well as Belle being unwilling to hold the role of housewife for Gaston or raising children, and later her blaming the titular Beast for her fleeing the castle despite most of the events leading up to and after that event being largely her fault (specifically, her deliberate disobedience towards Beast and the servants by going into the West Wing as soon as she found out where it was located) and the story framing that as being a good thing she did. On a related note, a scene that had Belle baking a cake for her father when he got home ended up cut at the order of Linda Woolverton, with her reason specifically being because "a liberated woman [like Belle] wouldn't know how to bake," essentially implying that baking would have been the activity of non-liberated women, a typical statement by feminists.<ref name="Woolverton and Belle">https://www.mouseplanet.com/8500/Linda_Woolverton_and_Belle</ref><ref>https://www.yahoo.com/news/belle-beauty-beast-became-disneys-155053182.html</ref> In addition, the opening song and the reprise has Belle having a similar "smarter-than-thou" personality that is all too common among liberals, having her refer to the villagers derogatorily as "little people" in the beginning of the opening song, repeatedly stressing the "provincial" elements of the village when expressing her desire to leave the village, complaining about Gaston due to considering him "boorish and brainless" shortly after his failed proposal, and also dismissing the villagers as "they" when mentioning her goals ("I want so much more than what ''they've'' got planned"). On that note, due to Beast being unwilling to even defend himself, let alone the castle servants, when the mob arrived to kill him until Belle had arrived at the last second, which had been the result of Belle's attempts at civilizing Beast, it gives the implication that the ideal male in the film is not allowed to get angry or act violently even in self-defense unless a woman was physically present. Then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg also mentioned that he wanted "a feminist twist" on the original fairy tale by creating a heroine who is "a departure from typical Disney female characters",<ref>http://articles.mcall.com/1991-11-22/features/2825583_1_beast-s-castle-fairy-tale-madame-gabrielle</ref> which had partly been done in response to negative criticisms towards Ariel in the previous movie by liberal critics,<ref name="Woolverton and Belle" /> and the feminist writer [[Linda Woolverton]] made clear that she made Belle a feminist and based her on the women's liberation movement from the 1970s in order to avoid creating another insipid princess.<ref name="Beauty and Maleficent">{{Cite web|url = http://time.com/2798136/maleficent-beauty-beast-writer/|title = The Same Woman Wrote Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast—Here’s How They’re Linked|date = May 30, 2014|accessdate = January 16, 2014|website = Time|publisher = |last = Rothman|first = Lily}}</ref><ref>http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/26/linda-woolverton-alice-belle-disney-heroines?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter</ref><ref>https://www.bustle.com/articles/163686-the-one-thing-beauty-and-the-beast-fans-probably-dont-know-about-the-creation-of-belle</ref><ref>http://www.mouseplanet.com/8500/Linda_Woolverton_and_Belle</ref><ref>http://articles.latimes.com/1992-01-19/entertainment/ca-544_1_disney-film</ref> On that note, this made it the first ''Disney'' animated adaptation of a fairy tale to radically alter the story specifically to promote a left-wing socio-political agenda onto the audience regardless of whether such was actually appropriate for the audience or an actual good message (as prior Disney films generally made alterations specifically to tone down anything that was otherwise inappropriate for the age group for the audience). Gaston is a conservative and hardworking hunter who is considered by the villagers to be their town hero, but is shown to be the main villain of the movie (it should also be noted that in the original screenplay for the film, Gaston was intended to be a Marquess [French nobleman], meaning the decision to make him a conservative and hardworking hunter was made after a rewrite). In addition, although not to the same degree as other Disney films that came after it, the film also has a slight anti-Christian bent, as the villagers (strongly implied by various verses in the opening song and the mob song, as well as a failed wedding, to be practicing and devout Christians) were later briefly seen supporting a plan that went against God's teachings, as well as overall depicted as being idiots, while Belle, the character framed as an intellectual and a moral figure, is not even seen or even implied to believe in God at all. In addition, Belle's love for Beast (where it is implied that she was largely unaware of the Beast being formerly a human prince) could be seen as promoting bestiality. Also, it is the first Disney movie to neither show nor hint at the two love interests getting married, and in fact, the only "wedding" in the film was the one Belle ruined, creating negative implications about marriage as a result, as well as starting a string of movies that don't paint marriage in a positive light. Similarly, the only three females in the film who are implicitly supportive of marriage and Christianity are demeaned, depicted as dumb blondes with the script and credits explicitly referring to them derogatorily as "the bimbettes." There was also a slight anti-hunting and anti-second amendment sentiment in the film, due to the main villain, as aforementioned, explicitly being labelled as a hunter, as well as Gaston's villainous nature being first highlighted in his debut scene where he shot a duck out of the sky. According to Don Hahn, there were also several overtones of a pro-homosexual agenda within the film, including choice lyrics of the mob song late into the film, largely because of the executive producer, Howard Ashman, being homosexual and dying from AIDS at the time the film was made and wanting to push the idea of being "ostracized" for his suffering from AIDS.<ref>https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/03/beauty-and-the-beast-gay-lefou-howard-ashman</ref><ref>https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/16583/don-Hahn-interview-beauty-and-the-beast-howard-Ashman-the-lion-king-south-park-and-frankenweenie</ref> Similarly, during the battle in the castle, there was a brief instance of transgenderism that was treated as a joke where the wardrobe proceeded to dress one of the male villagers in a Hawaiian outfit. One of the protagonistic characters, Lumiere, is briefly seen making out with a featherduster and was implied that the two weren't married, with some hints at Lumiere being an unrepentant womanizer (with the implication being further increased in the Special Edition-exclusive song "Human Again" where Lumiere mentioned he had a "mademoiselle in each arm", would be "courting again, chic and sporting again", and Mrs. Potts interjecting "Which should cause several husbands alarm." with Lumiere laughing at this, heavily implying that Lumiere was an adulterer to married women). In addition, Maurice is depicted as slightly addled and eccentric, as well as being naïve (such as thinking Gaston was a good match for Belle despite the story making clear he wasn't), and while he does try to go out of his way to save Belle in the midway point of the film, he ultimately needs saving twice and is unable to save Belle at all, which makes it debatable as to just how pro-family the narrative actually was. In addition, some elements of the film were later reused in the [[Essay:Worst Liberal Movies#Social|definitely liberal]] ''Maleficent'' movie.<ref name="Beauty and Maleficent" />

|''Beauty and the Beast'' (2017 remake)
|2017
|PG
|On the one hand, the 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' is the latest in the film trend of needlessly and shamelessly remaking animated films or children's stories for the sake of earning quick revenue in the dying Hollywood studio system. Liberals also seized the opportunity with the remake to exploit diversity within the ''Beauty and the Beast'' universe. The final result of the diversity inclusion is that it feels self-congratulatory in the sense of putting it in for the sake of having it, rather than having it be just a part of the story and the film. One notable example is the filmmakers' decision to make LeFou, Gaston's diminutive and bumbling sidekick, a homosexual who is conflicted with his feelings for Gaston (although it should be noted that in the actual script, it never specifies that LeFou was homosexual.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/03/03/josh-gad-lefou-beauty-and-the-beast/98679284/</ref>). At the end of the film, LeFou is shown taking a romantic interest in a musketeer who is now a transgender woman after being transformed into one during Gaston's siege of the Beast's castle (who, unlike the original film, actually enjoys it). Not only is it an atrocious artistic decision of the filmmakers to needlessly incorporate diversity simply for the sake of it, but the 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' also serves as an example that liberals can legitimately shoehorn the [[homosexual agenda]] into Disney films. Adding salt to the wound, the filmmakers also further changed history to suit their feminist agenda, similar to previous Disney films like ''Mulan'' (1998), ''Pocahontas'' (1995) and ''The Princess and the Frog'' (2009) (most infamously, the villagers are shown to be explicitly intolerant of Belle learning how to read and teaching girls to do the same, smashing her washing machine in the process, despite the fact that the namesake for the village in this film, Mdm. Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, the original author for the fairy tale, was herself a woman). The 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' is now even more of a feminist propaganda film than the 1991 animated film version ever was. There were also hints at an anti-war message due to Gaston being turned into a war veteran, in addition to the implied anti-hunting messages from the original film via his profession (which if anything was expanded on by their hinting at Gaston being evil in the Gaston song when he, in reference to LeFou's question about whether shooting his prey from behind was "fair", states he didn't care if it was, even though killing prey when they least expect it is the entire point behind hunting, which was based on a deleted lyric from one of the earlier drafts of what would become the 1991 film.).

All of that, along with the other shortcomings of the film, reinforces the statement that most of Hollywood is currently out of ideas for motion pictures. It also re-establishes the fact that Disney would, at times, forsake genuine family entertainment in favor of blatant liberal propaganda.

On the other hand, there were also several surprisingly Conservative messages in the film, significantly more than in the 1991 version. Namely, Christianity is treated in a far more positive light in this film than in the 1991 version as one of the few friends Belle has in this version is the village Chaplain named Pere Robert who is shown to be sympathetic to her bibliophilic nature and also attempts to prevent Maurice from being sent to the Asylum, and later is shown to be horrified at the formation of the mob against the Beast (it is to be noted that in the original 1991 film, the character in question was merely a bookseller, not a priest, and most of the villagers, implied to be devout Christians, were demonized in the film), which was also surprisingly accurate to history despite the aforementioned changing of history in the film (in real history, Christianity, especially the Catholic Church, actively encouraged literacy, writing, and arithmetic among both genders, with girls being taught in convents or at the home.). In addition, Maurice actually is shown to be more proactive in this film, such as directly refusing Gaston's attempt at marrying Belle and even attempting to expose Gaston as an attempted murderer and psychopath, and also plays a direct role in saving Belle and himself from the paddywagon after she exposes Beast to the villagers (in the original film, although he does set out to try and find Belle and save her after trying to get the villagers to help failed, he ultimately required saving by her due to catching an illness during his trek, and ultimately needed saving alongside Belle via Chip). In addition, Lumiere as well as the featherduster (named Plumette in this version) are shown to be an actual loving couple (in the original film, it is heavily implied that Lumiere was a frequent womanizer and that the featherduster was also sexually loose), and the remake also doesn't demonize traditional marriage nearly as much as in the 1991 version (notably, the remake cut out Gaston's wedding proposal as well as Belle shoving Gaston into mud in front of attendees). The forgiveness and redemption theme was also significantly more emphasized in the remake, due to Beast ultimately forgiving Maurice after learning why he had tried to steal the rose and even allowing Belle to save Maurice specifically to make up for his past behavior, with Maurice also forgiving Beast upon Belle showing him the baby rattle (originally, Maurice was a bit more hesitant to forgive the Beast). It is also shown to be significantly more pro-family as well, as not only is Belle shown to be loyal to her father like in the 1991 original, but as noted above, Maurice himself took measures to protect Belle and notably agreed with Belle that Gaston would not have worked out for her (originally, Maurice also thought Gaston was alright for her), and he also was shown to be very protective of Belle after his wife had died from the plague, with Belle's mom specifically sacrificing herself by telling them to leave her behind to allow Belle a healthy life. In addition, the triplets (renamed to "Village Lasses") in the remake were depicted as having haughtiness, arrogance, being jealous of Belle, as well as overall being nasty people, including briefly smirking at Belle when she was locked up in the paddywagon as well as being actively involved in the arrest of Maurice as well as the later attack on Beast's castle (in the original film, the triplets were not shown to have any negative behavior to them besides their crushing on Gaston [not participating in the later arrest of Maurice, let alone the attack on Beast's castle shortly afterward during the climax, and also implying at one point that they were willing to give their blessing to Gaston marrying Belle when Belle refused him in the beginning of the film, and while they were present during the final lyrics for the Gaston reprise where Gaston explicitly divulged key details for his blackmail plan, the way it was framed could easily be interpreted as the triplets genuinely not knowing about the plan due to their absence from Maurice's arrival up to the scene where Gaston whispers the plan to LeFou.], and it is also heavily implied that they supported traditional marriage and were demeaned in the film by being referred to in the script as The Bimbettes and treated as dumb blondes for this reason). In addition, according to the film's director Bill Condon as well as one of the triplets' actresses, Rafaelle Cohen, the reason the triplets were intensely jealous and spiteful of Belle was because their mother neglected them while doting on Belle, showcasing the dangers of parental neglect. In addition, at least regarding Maurice, the villagers' actions to him were toned down, where their arresting him was simply due to their being tricked by Gaston into thinking he was a dangerous madman and not out of malicious intent (in the original film, it is heavily implied via the Gaston reprise that most, if not all of the villagers were in fact fully aware that Gaston knew, as did themselves, that Maurice was not actually dangerous and that Gaston was having him arrested specifically to blackmail Belle into marrying him and gave full support to the plan.).

However, a significant portion of the film has Beowulf doing anti-Christian things, including mating with Grendel's mother over killing her (a stark contrast with the original tale where he does in fact kill her), and also implies that the dragon that ultimately killed him in the original tale was the result of his sleeping with her (when originally, the dragon had no relation at all to Grendel, his mom, or Beowulf).

The film likewise was also deliberately named after D.W. Griffith's film of the same name in a form of irony due to it pushing the opposite message. However, there is a line at the end of the movie downplaying the deaths of the white slave owners compared to the black slaves, something done by the Hollywood elites and unfortunate because all people are equally valuable.

|''Bohemian Rhapsody''
|2018
|PG-13
|A biopic of [[Freddie Mercury]], the lead singer of the band Queen. While it does show elements of the practice of homosexuality and hedonism, at the same time, the film largely condemned the practice since it was made clear that Mercury's embracing of these things was what ultimately ruined Queen and his personal relationships, and is what ultimately killed him via AIDS. In addition, Paul Prenter, the only other major character to embrace homosexuality in the movie, was depicted in a very negative light, as he was one of the reasons Mercury went down a bad path, with it being made clear later on that Paul largely was using Mercury for his own gratification, blamed others for his bad ideas, and even hid vital information from Mercury deliberately such as the Live Aid concert plans as well as Mary Austin calling him. It also had a promotion of redemption, as Mercury, inspired largely by his former girlfriend/wife, Mary Austin nearing the end of the film, attempts to reconnect with his band and family and make amends in the time he had left before dying from AIDS. That all being said, however, it's debatable whether the film intended to paint his homosexual escapades in a negative light, as several members of the production company, including Freddie Mercury's actor Rami Malek, indicated that it was a "regrettable" decision as a result of not having enough time to give a "more balanced" view of (ie, promoting) his bisexual lifestyle.

Although technically a message against totalitarianism and for individualism, Leftist actor Donald Sutherland, who played President Snow, implied that the struggles of the films' protagonists were supposed to be derived from the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the book's author also indicated that the events of the book were based on the George W.

It also has some condemnation towards divorce, as evidenced by David Levinson and Constance Spano's divorce is treated in a negative light, and also is pro-family due to Russell Casse sacrificing himself during battle to save his family.

|''The Iron Giant''
|1999
|PG
|This animation espouses anti-war themes and also brief but strong anti-hunting sentiments. Firearms in general are shown in a negative light, with the phrase "guns kill" being repeated a total of three times (which was considered a "positive message" by the ultra-liberal media watchdog group [[Common Sense Media]]). The titular giant is referred to as a "big gun that walks." From a conservative viewpoint, he is a poor metaphor for a real gun; unlike a law-abiding citizen who is a gun owner, the giant has no choice in his actions because he is a war machine programmed with the inability to use his weapons for good, but only to use them thoughtlessly and senselessly. The story involves him learning to hide his weapons and "not be a gun". The conclusion is that, in order to protect the public from an incoming missile, he must fly into it and kill himself rather than use his guns against it. As it is explained, "It's bad to kill, but it isn't bad to die." In addition, despite being set during the Cold War, it largely downplays the Soviet menace that was occurring during that time, as the main antagonist, Kent Mansley, is a government agent (implied to be part of the NSA) investigating the titular Iron Giant who at one point while launching a tirade against Hogarth Hughes alludes to the possibility that the Communists may have been responsible for the Giant's creation as a means to destroy America and that they must destroy it before "it destroys us" and is treated negatively for it. Also features some foul language.

That all being said, however, despite the definite anti-gun and anti-hunting themes, the film does portray the military in a fairly positive light, as General Rogarth was shown to be even-headed and only willing to use military force if confronted with evidence requiring for it, also making clear that he was not happy about bringing out an implied large military force for what was apparently a hoax, and while the military does try to attack the Iron Giant late into the film, it was only because they had been manipulated into doing so by Kent Mansley by the latter lying about the giant killing Hogarth Hughes, and only when confronted with evidence that Hogarth had in fact been alive did the military stand down. In addition, when Hogarth left to investigate the evidence of a "martian" taking out an antenna, he proceeded to salute a photograph of his father, who was implied to have died during World War II. Also has a positive portrayal of the American icon Superman in it. There's also an anti-materialist message in it as well as an implicitly Christian message, as Hogarth talks to the Giant about how humans and other forms of life possess souls that live on even after their mortal bodies die. In addition the film also promotes individualism, promoting the idea of the individual choosing how to live their life, which may also support the American Dream as well, as Dean the film's tritagonist is a capitalistic artist.

|''[[Iron Man (film, 2008)|Iron Man]]''
|2008
|PG-13
|The first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Robert Downey, Jr., as comic book hero Tony Stark, an initially unsympathetic, billionaire weapons developer with hedonistic habits such as alcoholism, extramarital sex, gambling, and drug use. A theme of redemption then follows when, on a tour in the Middle East, Stark is almost mortally wounded by the evil Islamic terrorist group the Ten Rings, inspiring Stark to turn his life around and build weapons for just causes, not solely for making money. Though he considers giving up weapons development altogether, Stark decides to stand by his Second Amendment rights and builds his first electromechanical suit of armor to escape the Ten Rings upon realizing that his supposed friend Obadiah Stane has been issuing guns to the terrorists behind his back. Overall, ''Iron Man'' teaches that capitalism and the military can be used for good. That being said, the aforementioned revelation that Obadiah Stane had been issuing weapons to the Ten Rings as well as orchestrating Stark's abduction by them earlier could be interpreted as subtle anti-War on Terror messaging.

|''Joker''
|2019
|R
|''Joker'' is the highest grossing R rated film of all time, and for good reasons. This revolutionary psychological crime thriller is a revisionist origin of the Joker (born in this universe as Arthur Fleck, although he is traditionally never given a proper name), a fictional supervillain and the archenemy of DC Comics superhero Batman, and his decent into a life of crime. It is difficult to watch and should not be shown to children but has deep messages that no Hollywood film will come close to replicating. Arthur never gets the mental help he needed and is constantly humiliated by people such as talk show host Murray Franklin, loosely based on Johnny Carson. That said, ''Joker'' is one of the only modern films to directly attack the mainstream media, and how it is responsible for causing chaos (Murray is played by Robert De Niro, a staunch leftist). It correctly shows that mental illness, not guns, can cause people to go insane and shoot people. Early on, Arthur is fired by his boss for carrying a gun while working as a children's party clown even though he was given the gun as a means for self-defense due to being assaulted earlier, which contributes to his further fall into madness. ''Joker'' goes even further to say that mental illness is tied directly to the media when Arthur directly confronts Murray on the set of his show, saying that he and the media only cause division and anger and that "It's enough to make anyone crazy!" Most liberal critics attacked ''Joker'', claiming it would cause people to commit mass shootings. This is expected since the film directly attacks the media, so the media is scared of people seeing ''Joker'' since it will expose their true intentions. However, some rioters who support Arthur in the film riot against the rich, and one of them slays Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne, the wealthy parents of Bruce (the future Batman) near the end of the film; in contrast to traditional Batman stories, the Waynes are shown in a very negative light since Joker is a villain origin story. Interestingly enough, Arthur himself says that his actions are non-political: he only wants people to be civil and to get along with each other. The Joker is also nihilist, showing how nihilism is a very dangerous ideology. Furthermore, ''Joker'' depicts parental abuse and parental neglect in a very negative light. Arthur's mother Penny abused him throughout his childhood and claims Thomas Wayne is Arthur's father, who never helped raise him. Along with the media, she causes Arthur to descend into madness. It also attacks political correctness to a certain extent, as the director of the film made it clear he made the film partly in response to how comedy has been ruined by SJWs and political correctness.

|A story set in the Crusades period about a young knight who embarks on a journey to realize his destiny. The Director's Cut version of ''Kingdom of Heaven'' is a prime example of how a Director's Cut can significantly improve the entire film. While the theatrical version featured terrible screenwriting and directing (as a result of studio interference), the Director's Cut drastically changes the entire film, significantly fleshes out, ties together, and grounds the story and brings the characters, their motivations, the different themes at play and the world to life. While the theatrical version was seen more or less as pure liberal media, the Director's Cut presents a story about humanity, belief, faith, and God. It also makes a statement about how people of different religious faiths can live together in peace and harmony and also be respectful of different religious beliefs. In addition, it promotes honor, duty, and the importance of doing the right thing, and it also portrays the noble Knights Hospitallers in a positive light. That being said, the film still portrays the Knights Templars in a negative light.

|R
|This fantastic film from (albeit, very liberal) director Quentin Tarantino, set in 1969 Los Angeles, is a love letter to the older and more conservative film industry. It portrays the main character's alcoholism as the main thing holding him back in his later years. It also shows that hard work always pays off in how successful the main character's career was. In addition to all this, the film's villains, real-life cult leader/criminal [[Charles Manson]] (who masterminded the Tate-LaBianca murders) and his "Family" (who carried out the murders), are [[hippie]]s. The movie shows hippies as they really are - brain-damaged from drug use and really gross in both appearance and personal habits - and it makes no attempt to humanize them. Despite all of this, it does contain historic revisionism, graphic violence (a hallmark of Tarantino movies), and gratuitous drug use (the latter of which is played for laughs and shown as fun and consequence-free, contrary to real life). This was the first film to be made by Tarantino after he broke ties with Bob and [[Harvey Weinstein]] following the latter's convictions for sexual assault, and was also the last film to feature actor Luke Perry prior to his death from a stroke in March 2019.

It's also debatable as to whether it promotes feminism, as aside from Charlotte LeBoeuf being depicted in a positive light overall as noted above, it implies at one point that Tiana achieving her dreams of being a CEO is ultimately a negative due to the main villain Dr. Facilier using that to tempt her into aiding him.

On the other hand, it also encourages at one point allowing children to act like children, and ultimately promotes Recess and Summer Vacation as a concept, and the main villain, Phillium Benedict, is a radical former head of the liberal Department of Education who wished to eliminate recess and later summer vacation to raise test scores with the implication of wanting to become President (who was fired largely because he proved to be too extreme even for that department), and also represents [[liberal values]].

|Loosely based on a 1990 fairytale picture book by William Steig, the first feature-length computer animation by DreamWorks SKG stars Shrek, a socially challenged ogre who becomes an unlikely hero when he forms an alliance with a pesky, talking donkey to rescue a princess at the behest of the evil Lord Farquaad of Duloc, who hates fairytale-type beings and has forced a host of them to live in Shrek's swamp. Not long after they rescue Princess Fiona, Donkey learns that she was cursed as a child to transform into an ogre herself by night and that only marriage can break the curse. Shrek does not hear this message clearly at first and thinks Fiona is calling him an "ugly beast" before he realizes she actually despises her own ogre form and stops her marriage to Farquaad, preventing him from becoming a tyrannical king and continuing to oppress fairytale beings. Although DreamWorks is liberal, the dialogue occasionally resorts to adult humor (such as Shrek and Donkey cracking jokes at Farquaad's expense that implied that he had small gonads when explaining what he's like), and Fiona sometimes behaves like a feminist (as when she effortlessly uses martial arts against Robin Hood and his Merry Men), it is implied that most of the characters are Christians as the gingerbread man says "God Bless Us Everyone" (a reference to the character Tiny Tim in ''A Christmas Carol''). The gospel song "I'm a Believer" at the end of the feature, and the scene where Shrek and Fiona are silently upset about being separated has the version of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Robin Hood is a secondary antagonist, but he is at least implied to be based on the infamous revisionist version by [[Joseph Ritson]] that was made in solidarity to the [[Jacobin]]s during the French Revolution). Lord Farquaad, intended to be based on Liberal [[Disney]] CEO [[Michael Eisner]]<ref>http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2001-04-06/features/0104060008_1_lord-farquaad-dreamworks-jeffrey-Katzenberg</ref> (which adds to the whole film's existence as a reverent parody of Disney fairytale animation conventions), is likewise a lampoon of materialism because he only desires Fiona's marriage so he can officially become the King of Duloc. Finally, shortly after Farquaad meets his end at the jaws of Donkey's dragon love interest, Donkey jokes about [[Hollywood values]]: "Celebrity marriages, they never last, do they?"

|''Shrek 2''
|2004
|PG
|The sequel to the above film. On the one hand, aside from DreamWorks being liberal, there are some jokes that could be interpreted as promoting gender confusion (such as the revelation that Pinocchio was wearing women's underwear while he and the other fairy tale creatures save Shrek and Donkey from imprisonment). On the other hand, there is also an anti-racism message for the film, since Fiona's father, the king of Far Far Away, is initially distrusting of Shrek largely due to the latter's Ogre status, and eventually comes to accept him upon realizing Fiona does truly love him, even going as far as to save his son-in-law from Fairy Godmother at the end, and the main villain, Fairy Godmother, is explicitly racist against Shrek for his species, insisting that "Ogres do not get happy endings" repeatedly. Also like the prior movie, it has a more anti-materialist message, as Fairy Godmother as well as her son, Prince Charming, both only intended to use Fiona in order to gain control over Far Far Away, similar to Lord Farquaad in the preceding movie. It also has a redemption message in the form of Puss in Boots, who initially was hired to kill Shrek, but after Shrek spares him, he ultimately became a loyal ally to Shrek, even willingly holding off several soldiers to allow Shrek and Donkey (who at that time had been transfigured into a handsome man and a white stallion, respectively) enough time to stop Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother from having Fiona "wed" the former (due to thinking that Fiona ingested a brainwashing serum inside her tea that had been laced on Fairy Godmother's orders). Also has a degree of anti-feminist messaging due to Fairy Godmother clearly adhering to the feminist view on things.

|''[[The Simpsons]] Movie''
|2007
|PG-13
|Portrays the liberal [[Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] as a villainous and devious agency, and portrays the Government in general as intrusive and corrupt, and also features a key element of the story where Homer attempts to redeem himself of his more unpleasant nature, and Flanders' attempts at helping the Simpson family, in particular Bart, are treated positively. On the other hand, it also promotes [[environmentalism]] in the beginning, and also had Arnold Schwartzenegger as the president of the United States despite his legally not being eligible for the presidency due to being Austrian. There is also a brief sight gag where two homosexual policemen proceeded to make out in an alley by the motel the Simpson family was hiding at, with Marge narrowly escaping being spotted by them. In addition, the early part of the film has Homer twice making statements that implied a more atheistic outlook relating to Christianity: The first just as the Simpsons arrive at Church while running late where Homer mouths off "Relax, those pious morons are too busy talking to their phony-baloney God."; the second when Abraham Simpson ends up getting a divinely inspired vision about Springfield's potential future, where Homer, consulting the bible in a panic, yells "I can't! This book has no answers!" Overall, it's as debatable in terms of its Conservativism as the TV show it acted as a movie for.

Towards the end, it is revealed he took the scholarship away from someone who needed it as well (and is really black) because she has a son and is divorced at such a young age. The movie portrays the police as racist, and blames racism on many things, and seems to support the need for affirmative action. But on a conservative note, the film teaches the importance of hard work, and is also politically incorrect.

|''Starship Troopers''
|1997
|R
|Although it overall depicts the Military in a protagonistic light and arguably is pro-war and pro-military, the director of the film, Paul Verhoeven, implied it was actually supposed to push an anti-military, anti-war message where it implied that America during the Cold War were automatically fascists simply because they are entering war, and specifically stated it was "a natural evolution for post-World War II America." In addition, to reinforce Verhoeven's message, he deliberately modeled various scenes after ''Triumph of the Will'' and other pro-Nazi propaganda scenes, as well as modeled the protagonists' uniforms after the uniforms utilized by the Nazis (i.e., the character Carl, played by Neil Patrick Harris, wearing a uniform that was modeled after the [[SS]]). When asked by Michael Ironside, who was one of the people who had a role in the movie and had read the original book, about why he made the movie despite Verhoeven's leftist politics, he answered "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships, but it's only good for killing ******* bugs!" (note that fascism is not "right wing", it is left wing, so Verhoeven's incorrect regarding which wing the Nazis/fascists were part of).

|''Who Framed Roger Rabbit''
|1988
|PG (Should be PG-13)
|A loose live-action/animation adaptation on the book ''Who Censored Roger Rabbit?'' by Gary Wolf. On the one hand, the movie contains many innuendos and crude humor, the antagonist Judge Doom is a capitalist, and the relationship between a toon rabbit and a toon human may be seen as promoting bestiality. On the other hand, the movie depicts marital fidelity in a positive light, as initial signs of Jessica Rabbit's infidelity are in fact part of the antagonist's plot and in reality she actually cares very deeply about her husband (it should also be noted that in the book the film was based on, Jessica was extremely unfaithful to Roger Rabbit, and enjoyed being a porn star, even outright using Roger for stardom. Later additions to the story altered this characterization to be closer to the film and had the initial version be part of a nightmare Jessica had). The film also contains an anti-alcoholism message not present in the original novel in which Eddie Valiant becomes a heavy drinker after the death of his brother (in the original novel, Eddie was just a drinker and didn't have a brother) but eventually pours the alcohol out of the flask that he carries in his holster.

Their two difference lifestyles contradict with each other, and the film does not really pick a side of on whose lifestyle is better. However, it does have a scene where the liberal kids outsmart the conservative kids (By tricking them into thinking there is a fire and then getting to use the bathrooms to themselves). Also, has a scene where the kids work together and use conservative tactics to end bullying without the help of an authority figure. In the end, the kids learn to put their differences aside and realize that family is what matters more.

|Was another entry into then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner's infamous Direct to Video sequel line, and as such also has evidence of it being poorly made. But on the other hand, it also has similar themes to ''Return of Jafar'' regarding forgiveness and redemption in regards to the titular character. It also is notable as having a pro-traditional marriage message due to Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding factoring into a large part of the plotline, with it also being implied that the kingdom of Agrabah may have held Coptic Christianity as its main religion, one of the few Disney productions during this time to feature such a message on marriage since ''The Little Mermaid'' back in 1989. In addition, it ultimately is pro-fatherhood in the form of Cassim, the titular king of thieves, who was Aladdin's father, and while the central antagonist, he is nonetheless depicted in a more sympathetic light as he became the King of Thieves simply so he could provide for his family, and ultimately was redeemed in the ending of the film.

Also shows a promotion of the concept of being humble, as Taran still considers himself a pig herder even with his role in saving the world. However, the film was a massive box office bomb, with a large part of the reason for it being underperforming being due to both the dark elements of the film, especially for a Disney-made film, and due to a huge amount of footage (at least ten minutes worth) being cut from the film by then-Chairman of Disney Animation [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].

|''Hercules''
|1997

|Loosely based on the Greco-Roman myth of the demigod strongman Hercules, this Disney animation has some Christian messages like honoring one's father and the triumph of good over evil. In addition, contrary to how he is depicted in regular mythology, Zeus's characterization in the film was closer to that of the Biblical God. Unlike the original myth, in which Hercules was born as a result of Zeus's infamous womanizing actions with mortal women and Hera hated him due to this, Hercules in this film is the actual offspring between Zeus and Hera, putting family values first. Plus, he is raised a mortal this time because the main villain, Hades, has his minions abduct the then-infant Hercules and feed him a potion that drains him of virtually all of his godly potential in order to assassinate him and prevent him from striking down Hades in the future. Another reason why family is a major theme is that Hercules' disappearance greatly devastates both Zeus and Hera, and Zeus, upon learning that Hercules was alive, is greatly overjoyed to learn of his son's survival and admits he is his father. Lastly, the main villain, Hades, while humorous, is nonetheless depicted in a satanic light, and was reported to be based on former Disney animation chairman and staunch liberal [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].<ref>http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970622&slug=2545749</ref> However, it underperformed in theaters and with critics.

Kate once again finds help from a charitable, sympathetic person (in this case, an NYPD officer), who helps her by bringing her to Rockefeller Center, where she finds Kevin.

|A live-action remake of the animated TV adaptation of the [[Dr. Seuss]] book of the same name. Overall, the film promoted many of the same themes as in the special and book, and also expanded on the implied redemptive themes of the special by revealing that the Grinch's hatred of Christmas dealt with being bullied, and ultimately overcoming that past and learning to enjoy Christmas. That all being said, however, the film suffered from production problems where studio heads forced in some raunchy, age-inappropriate jokes into the storyline, in spite of both director Ron Howard and Jim Carrey's insistence that they keep the film family friendly (and in the case of the latter, was careful to keep any ad-libbed humor family friendly) that ultimately harmed the quality of the film. This, alongside the Worst Liberal Movie Live Action Adaptation of another [[Dr. Seuss]] story, ''The Cat in the Hat'', doubling down on many of the aforementioned raunchy elements and pushing more left-wing material, eventually resulted in the Seuss estate placing a ban on Live Action adaptations of various ''Dr. Seuss'' stories.

|''Jack and Jill''
|2011
|PG
|Adam Sandler stars as both Jack and his "identical twin sister" Jill in this family comedy that features pro-capitalism and pro-family values. That aside, ''Jack and Jill'' is an aggressively poorly acted (apart from a strangely committed performance from Al Pacino), poorly written, poorly directed film with an appalling premise (the idea of a man having an "identical twin sister" is nightmarish at best) that received overwhelmingly negative reception from critics and audiences alike, who often called it the worst film of 2011. At the 32nd Golden Raspberry Award ceremony in 2012, ''Jack and Jill'' "won" in all twelve categories, even beating the liberal propaganda piece ''Battlefield Earth''.

|''The Land Before Time'' sequels
|1994-2016

|The films deal with various conservative themes such as reconciliation, anti-racism, family values, friendships being important, and the like. That being said, however, the films' actual quality and their being direct to video sequels tend to leave much to be desired regarding the plotlines.

|Lady and Tramp’s son, runs away to join the Junkyard dogs (a clear allegory for criminals), where he Angel, who encourages him to return home after realizing he has a family. Also the film takes place within the Independence Day holiday, making it what might be the only Disney film to acknowledge and celebrate this patriotic holiday. However this film like most Disney sequels went straight to video.

|''Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of ''Ga'Hoole''
|2010
|PG
|In a world where owls live in different kingdoms, young barn owl Soren grows up inspired by the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, knightly owls who perform noble deeds. One night, he and his brother Kludd are snatched away from home while practicing flying, taken to a facility that forces owlets to build a contraption for world domination for the Pure Ones. Escaping with an intelligent elf owl named Gylfie, Soren goes to find the Great Ga'Hoole tree (meeting friends like eccentric burrowing owl Digger and boisterous great gray owl Twilight) and warn its guardians of the danger awaiting their kingdom. Like the ''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' books the movie is based on, the movie shows friendship and a story of [[good and evil]] in a positive light, where the Guardians fight for the security and freedom of their home and the other owl kingdoms against the tyranny of the Pure Ones (which are barn owl supremacists). It also condemns abandoning family, for Kludd is easily won over to the Pure Ones side due to falling for the High Tyto Metal Beak's queen, Nyra, abandoning Soren to be forced to work alongside the other brainwashed owlets while he becomes a soldier in their army. Another case is Kludd going so far as to kidnap his baby sister and brainwash her for Metal Beak's cause, both shown in a horrible light. While the old veteran owl Ezylryb believes that war is harsh and ugly (the books reveal that it's because his wife was killed in the line of duty during the War of the Ice Claws), he is later shown to valiantly fight alongside his fellow Guardians in battle. However, the movie does suffer from rather weak storytelling.

|''Leonard Part 6''
|1987
|PG
|The villain is a militant vegan who plans to destroy the human race, but there are a number of confusing or outright silly plot points such as Bill Cosby's character Leonard Parker being tortured by lobsters, a henchman having his head blow up after eating a hot dog, and Cosby riding an ostrich like a horse, just to name a few. Even though he produced and wrote it, Bill Cosby has disowned the film and even begged people not to see it.

|''The Lion King''
|2019
|PG
|This photorealistic CGI remake of the 1994 film ''The Lion King'' contains the same messages as the original film, from faith and heroism to honoring one's father. Totalitarian rule is shown as negative in the form of Scar, who makes an alliance with the hyenas to take over the Pride Lands and overhunts alongside them (which is also a condemnation of poaching); this sets him up as an opposite to Mufasa when the latter earlier says, "While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give." Similarly, the movie expands upon the overhunting element from the original movie by revealing it had been done deliberately on Scar's orders, both to cull the numbers to ensure he remained on top as well as out of spite for Sarabi refusing him, showcasing even more blatantly the negatives of megalomania and such being etched into totalitarian ideologies such as Communism. Hakuna Matata is also a lot more nihilistic in this remake, Timon and Pumbaa explaining how life is a "meaningless line of indifference", until Simba finally manages to shake it off and take responsibility. That being said, the movie suffers from flaws like faces not being expressive enough to several important parts of the original being removed. A sequel is currently in the works.

|''The Lion King II: Simba's Pride''
|1998
|G
|In the sequel to the great conservative animation ''The Lion King'', protagonist Simba and his wife Nala are now raising a daughter of their own, Kiara, but Simba has exiled those lions in his pride who were loyal to his late evil uncle Scar, dubbing them "Outlanders". Tensions rise when Kiara falls in love with an Outlander. Although made during the infamous Michael Eisner era and was part of that era's direct to video sequel line, it also features the same pro-family and Christian messaging as in the original movie. Also features a condemnation against parental neglect/abuse and infanticide, as the main antagonist Zira frequently neglects one of the other antagonists, her eldest son Nuka (who is implied to be the actual male offspring for Scar unlike Kovu), and ultimately gets killed trying to win over her favor; and late in the film, when Vitani takes Kiara's words to heart and joins with the pride landers, Zira proceeds to threaten to kill her daughter in turn, which results in the remainder of the Outlanders proceeding to defect to the Pride Lands out of disgust towards the threat to her own daughter.

|''The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning''
|2008
|G
|The last of the Direct to Video sequels before an embargo was placed upon them largely due to the negative reception to the sequels. The overall plot, acting as a prequel to the original film, deals with letting go of the past and moving forward, and also honoring your parents, as Ariel's reason for bringing back music to Atlantica was because she realized her deceased mother, Queen Athena, would never have wanted music to be banned. Also has some condemnation towards totalitarianism as King Triton, due to his grief of his wife's untimely death, proceeded to enforce big government style control over the kingdom, which was not depicted in a positive light at all. That said, however, the film also conflicted with several plot details regarding the later film (namely, Ariel desiring to become human and frequently disobeying her father to pursue that dream being left out entirely, and Ariel's sisters' birth order being swapped around from what was implied in the Daughters of King Triton musical number), and overall downplays the anti-misanthropy messages the original film had.

|''The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea''
|2000
|G
|Although it to some extent retreads the plotline of the conservative film ''The Little Mermaid'' and was part of the infamous direct-to-video sequel line of the [[Michael Eisner]] era, it has a similar pro-family message and depicts the villain in a truly horrific light (such as trying to murder the main protagonist, a child, twice, once while she was a baby which acted as the primary reason why her parents, Ariel and Eric from the first film, went to great lengths to prevent her from learning about her heritage or even allowing her into the sea, and the other time when she was 12). It condemns parental neglect, too, because the main villain in question, Morgana, is largely motivated by being neglected by her mother over her elder sister, the previous main villain Ursula, which was most showcased in the special edition re-release via the added in song "Gonna Get My Wish."

|''Max Keeble's Big Move''
|2001
|PG
|Similar to ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'', the film showcases the public school system in a more negative light, due to one of the teachers letting one of the bullies, Dobbs, get away with stealing lunch money and later the same teacher punishing Max Keeble with a significantly and unreasonably large essay about rules for being tardied despite it being obvious that the only reason he was late was because one of the bullies, Troy McGinty, forced him into a swirly (due to his being dripping wet when he entered), as well as the principal of the school, Elliot Jindrake, who also acts as one of the main antagonists, explicitly hating children and only putting up with the school so he could get promoted to superintendent, as well as explicitly embezzling the school's budget, and also proceeding to punish Max for turning up late for an auditorium event even when, similar to the swirly incident mentioned above, it was very obvious that he only ended up late because McGinty proceeded to, in a similar manner to a cooking show, humiliate him by throwing him into a mud pool, putting saw dust on him, and then forcing him into a dumpster (due to his being littered with trash when he walked in). It also has a bit of an anti-socialist message due to the Evil Ice Cream Man being implied at one point to be a socialist (due to his insulting fellow antagonist Dobbs as a "capitalist tool.") and, as indicated by his nom de guerre, was not depicted in a positive light. Also has an allegory for the liberal elements of modern-day journalism as well, due to two of the characters who worked for the school yearbook proceeding to make events out to be even worse than they actually are (such as titling the first day as "Sheep Arrive for Slaughter"), not to mention usually uses the opportunity to actually photograph events of bullying rather than actually making any attempt to prevent it. Despite that, however, it largely was criticized for being bland and unoriginal, at least among adults, including some critics citing it as being too similar to ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off''.

Although it promotes America in a positive light and promotes patriotism, the film alongside several other films released around the same time (such as ''Hollow Man'', ''The Animal'', ''A Knight's Tale'', and ''Vertical Limit''), was also involved in a scandal by Sony Pictures where fake reviews by a fictitious reviewer named David Manning were made as a form of movie marketing, as well as being involved in a scandal about how various trailers had Sony using employees posing as moviegoers to go see the film and give excellent reviews.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010609225327/http://www.msnbc.com/news/581770.asp?cp1=1</ref><ref>https://www.thoughtco.com/sony-fake-film-critic-story-4062655</ref><ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1495591/Sony-ordered-to-pay-1.5m-for-film-goer-hoax.html</ref>

|Like with ''4Ever'', it has some implicit pro-Christian messages, as after the villains proceeded to hijack an ancient doomsday weapon, Latios proceeded to sacrifice himself to save Alto Mare from destruction. However, it got very low box office records due to a limited release in America which ultimately led to most other Pokémon films after it to be released as direct to video features (with only the dual-feature fourteenth movie, ''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'', the 20th movie, ''Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You'', and the 21st movie, ''The Power of Us'', ever seeing releases in theaters outside Japan since then, and even then only as limited theatrical releases), and its Japanese premiere was, until the Japanese release of the movie ''Hoopa and the Clash of Ages'', the worst performing Pokémon film ever.

|1994 (VHS) 2006 (DVD)
|G
|It is the first of the infamous Direct to Video sequel era within Eisner's Disney, and has elements of very poor production values. On the other hand, the film has redemption and forgiveness as major themes of the story due to Iago, Jafar's henchman from the original film, ultimately embracing a change of heart and, after initially saving Aladdin simply so he could get into the palace, eventually proceeding to save Aladdin from Jafar twice with no expectation of a reward, and redeeming himself for betraying Aladdin out of cowardice. It also depicts people who steal from others for their own selfishness in a very negative light in the form of the co-villain Abis Mal.

|Four immortal guardians appear as Christ-like creatures, who jobs are to protect those children who believe in them. Two of the guardians are Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, based on Christian allegories. Also, contains a guardian leader known as "Man on Moon" a clear allegory for [[God]]. Despite this, however, the film was largely a box office failure despite making double of its $145 million budget due to its high production and marketing costs, being the first DreamWorks animated movie to lose money on a film since ''Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas''.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/feb/27/dreamworks-animation-job-cuts-guardians</ref> which ultimately served as one of the reasons why DreamWorks ended up laying off 350 employees.<ref>http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/dreamworks-animation-lay-350-employees-79381</ref>

|This independent drama takes place in one room and explores the love triangle among an amiable banker, his deceptive fiancée, and his conflicted best friend. It teaches against alcoholism and adultery, showing the destructive nature of liberal values. However, ''The Room'' has been critically panned for its acting, screenplay, dialogue, production values, score, direction, cinematography, and handful of unrelated and unresolved subplots. Regardless of its low domestic gross from its initial theatrical run, it has done much better in recent re-screenings, becoming a cult classic of sorts.

|''Shrek the Third''
|2007
|PG
|The movie has a condemnation against totalitarian dictatorships and Hollywood values in the form of Prince Charming, who after recruiting various villains into aiding him in taking over Far Far Away, he had the kingdom become dystopic and forced the kingdom to watch a "play" he made as a subtle method of executing Shrek. In addition, it's also pro-family, as Shrek sought out Arthur, Fiona's cousin, to take the throne after her father died of an ailment and gives some heart-felt advice regarding taking up the responsibility, and Shrek ultimately resolves to be a father to his to-be-born kids after learning that Fiona was pregnant despite having misgivings regarding being a father due to his own experiences with his father (who nearly attempted to eat him). It also has condemnation of notions of revenge and has a redemption theme, as many of the villains ultimately gave up on being villains after Arthur convinced them not to be consumed by desires for revenge and seek their original goals. Despite this, however, the film had some very questionable production methods, and the plotline was fairly weak.
|$799 million

|Basketball star Michael Jordan uses the help of the Looney Tunes to beat back alien invaders from outer space who wish to take away their freedoms.

|''Stealth''
|2005
|PG-13
|The film is pro-military and pro-American, with the North Koreans being portrayed in a negative manner. Also shows government corruption in a negative light in the form of a Washington lobbyist and the treacherous CO of the protagonists. Also has hints at a pro-War on Terror message as well. That being said, however, the movie was a critical and financial bomb, reputed to be among the worst box office losses at the time.
|$76 million
|-
|''Superman Returns''
|2006
|PG-13
|America icon Superman is seen as an angel-like figure, who helps those in need. Also condemns to some extent the liberal values within the news media, as Lois Lane's Pulitzer prize was earned due to her making a scathing article on Superman and implying the world doesn't need him, and it's revealed she made the article due to being upset at Superman leaving her behind before the events of the film. It is also pro-family, as the arc words throughout the film with Jor-El telling baby Kal-El via flashback that, even though he himself will die from the destruction of Krypton, he will not leave Superman's side, and that they'll grow stronger as one, with Superman giving a similar speech to his and Lois's son in the ending, and in addition, Lois Lane's husband, Richard White, was shown to be very protective of his family, even going as far as to take a chopper to save them while Superman was incapacitated. However, the movie also had some controversy over the director Bryan Singer's homosexuality, and while it did initially receive positive reviews, it ultimately became negative overtime, and resulted in there not being another Superman film until 2013 with ''Man of Steel'', which was treated as a reboot.

|''Super Mario Bros.''
|May 28, 1993
|PG
|Loosely based on the classic video game series from Nintendo, two fraternal plumbers from Brooklyn, New York must rescue the younger's girlfriend from a parallel dimension ruled by humans descended directly from dinosaurs. The film may support the Second Amendment when an old lady, before mugging the brothers, explicitly states they need to have a weapon to survive on the streets of Dinohattan (a parody of Manhattan depicted as a lawless hellhole). Furthermore, the movie seems to condemn Communistic/fascistic big government in the form of King Koopa (a human-looking dictator loosely based on Bowser, the turtle-dragon hybrid who serves as the main villain of most Super Mario games). The aforementioned lawlessness of Dinohattan is heavily implied to be caused by King Koopa's using liberal values and big government (à la Scar from ''The Lion King'') to grossly mismanage the location to such an extent that he and his minions ran out of resources after taking over Dinohattan via a coup and "reformed" it into a people's republic with false elections. To some extent, the movie condemns evolution and social Darwinism: although the backstory does involve dinosaurs evolving into humanoid creatures since they were sent to a separate dimension from that of humans, only the villains focus on this aspect and thus want to eliminate true humans.

All that aside, the film was largely panned and recouped less than half its budget at the box office, and it is considered one of the more infamous examples of the inherent difficulties of adapting a video game into a film. Effectively, ''Super Mario Bros.'' scared Nintendo into never allowing the West to make another film based on any one of its game franchises or letting Disney have any direct role in any of its franchises besides distributing games based on them, instead granting Universal Studios the rights to build a Nintendo theme park at Universal Studios Orlando; and it ruined the directorial careers of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. Making the film took its toll on the actors, too, particularly Bob Hoskins (Mario), who stated in an interview years later that it was "…the worst thing I ever did", noting that he was stabbed four times, electrocuted, injured in one finger, and almost drowned during production. Likewise, in an autobiography, John Leguizamo (who played Luigi, Mario's younger brother) dedicates an entire chapter to the horrors of working on ''Super Mario Bros.'' and comments that he and Hoskins drank heavily during breaks to deal with the traumatic experience. Among the handful of editing errors is a specific shot that shows one of Koopa's guards slipping on slime that wasn't even present originally when the Mario Bros. revolted. This was the result of a deleted scene where Koopa, both due to his germophobic nature and as a further demonstration of the de-evolution chamber's properties, executes a technician by de-evolving him into primordial ooze for sneezing in his presence, explaining where the slime came from.

|''Under Siege 2: Dark Territory''
|1995
|R
|Casey Ryback, while on a train with his niece, Sarah, gets caught in the middle of another hijacking as the train is taken over by ex-military American mercenaries led by Marcus Penn. Their employer, Travis Dane, is a former weapons designer who uses the train as a mobile base to hack into his creation, the WMD satellite Grazer One, and use it to destroy Washington DC. Dane and Penn are revealed to have an extensive network of contacts with America's worst enemies, who pay them lots of money for their terrorist activities and Dane is especially amoral and depraved. He is willing to destroy a chemical weapons plant in Guanzhou, China, killing thousands, just to demonstrate the power of his weapon. He then uses it to destroy an entire passenger airplane just to kill a customer's ex-wife for extra money.

The film overall depicts Ryback's heroism in a positive light and the villains' treachery and depravity in a negative light like the first movie. It also has a pro-family theme demonstrated by Casey's relationship with Sarah as well as Casey's regret for not making amends with his brother before his brother's death. However, it's very derivative of the first film, and also has an anti-WMD message with Grazer One and Tom Breaker's line "Sane people do not build weapons like this."
|$104,324,083
|-
|''The Wild''
|2006
|G
|The main moral is that character and strength comes from within, and that it does not matter where one comes from, to achieve this. This is also a pro-family film about a father of the lion who along with his animal friends goes to search for his son after he is accidentally taken away. The villains of the movie are wildebeests that are trying to change the food chain, by planning to eat the lions, and one could argue this could give the film anti-environmentalist message. However the movie did receive poor reviews, and the movie’s main plot about Central Park Zoo animals that go on adventures was unfavorably compared to the more successful and politically neutral animation film ''Madagascar'' which had been released the year before.

Mystery:Does God Have a Sense of Humor?

2021-07-17T14:55:32Z

Psircleback: Added a joke

[[Image:Campaign sign Mendham NJ 2018.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Campaign sign of the real candidate Robert Crook, posted throughout Mendham, NJ, in Oct. 2018.]]
[[Image:Michelangelo creation-of-sun-and-moon.jpg|alt=creationism|right|thumb|250px|"But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them." - [[Psalm]] 2:4 (ESV)]]
Much humor is poking fun at how seriously people take themselves, which may reflect [[God]]'s laughing at man. [[Proverbs 1-8 (Translated)#8:31|Proverbs 8:31]] states that [[God]] finds amusement with the human race. Also, a humble, self-deprecating willingness to "turn the other cheek" as urged by the [[Bible]] is an essential part of a sense of humor, and is something many [[liberal]]s lack (notwithstanding the old feminist joke: How do you make God laugh? Tell her your plans). Here are some examples of humor that could first be for God's amusement, then man's:

*'''Political Scandals''': liberals once mocked General David Petraeus by calling him "General Betray Us"; liberal President Obama subsequently appointed him as head of the CIA, whereupon he caused a massive scandal that betrayed liberals by embarrassing them.
*'''Football''': [[Tim Tebow]]'s completion of ten passes for 316 yards, at 31.6 yards per competition, in his stunning playoff victory against the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], echoed his promotion of [[John 1-7 (Translated)#Chapter 3|John 3:16]] and caused a million searches on the internet for that verse.
*'''Politics''': within weeks after [[Barack Obama]] was sworn in as president in 2009, Obama-supporter [[Bruce Springsteen]] was the half-time performer at the [[Super Bowl]]. His most famous song is "Born in the U.S.A.," but he did not even perform it, presumably because that is an unwanted controversy about Obama.
*'''Names''': remarkable skills or traits are associated with people who have unusual names to match. The current heavyweight boxing champ (2020 WBC title) is an undefeated fighter named Tyson Fury, his first name at birth inspired by the legendary boxer and his last name speaks for itself. The largest toll evader in [[Pennsylvania]] -- $127,967.40 including fines—is a man named Jarrett Stiff.<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/pas-worst-toll-evader-named-stiff-to-pay-up-dollar128k-in-all/ar-AAARiwP?OCID=ansmsnnews11</ref> A reporter for [[CNN]] who was so confrontational that the [[White House]] attempted to exclude him has the name "Jim Acosta." A star wide receiver for the NFL Dallas Cowboys is named "Michael Gallup." Jaime Sin was such an extraordinary priest that he was elevated to the esteemed position of "Cardinal", making him "Cardinal Sin."<ref>http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bsin.html</ref> Other examples include "Usain Bolt" (the fastest sprinter in world history), "Learned Hand" (one of the finest judges in history), "Michael Arms" (an [[2012 Summer Olympics|Olympic]] rower from [[New Zealand]]),<ref>https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/2012/athletes/047f7705-2b90-4267-94da-e2c02de08d98</ref> "Billy Sunday" (one of the most famous [[Christian]] preachers in [[America]]n history), "Richie Incognito" (an [[NFL]] all-Pro offensive lineman who made headlines for badgering a teammate),<ref>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5002565</ref> "Marcus Smart" (a star basketball player who did the not-so-smart shoving of a fan who heckled him during a game),<ref>http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2014-02-09/marcus-smart-suspension-length-punishment-shove-push-fan-oklahoma-state-texas-tech-video-return-out</ref> "Lester Wire" (inventor of the first electric traffic signal),<ref>http://www.examiner.com/article/salt-lake-original-the-electric-traffic-signal</ref> and "[[George McGovern]]" (a former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate). Also, there are many whites named "Black" and many African Americans named "White". Russell Brain was a famous neurologist whose textbook, ''Brain's Diseases of the Nervous System'', is still in wide use. The consonants of the name of longtime [[RNC]] Chairman [[Reince Priebus]] spell "RNC P.R. B.S."
*'''Nutty Theories''': the originator of the "Oxfordian theory" that the Earl of Oxford was the secret author of [[Shakespeare]]'s poems and plays was a [[British]] schoolteacher named "J. Thomas Looney."<ref>https://heyprof.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/oxfordian-theory-of-shakespeare-authorship.pdf</ref>
*'''[[John 1-7 (Translated)#2:1|The Wedding at Cana]]''': it was a huge ''faux pas'' for the host to run out of wine, leaving the guests stranded with nothing to drink (the water was probably not drinkable), but the last laugh was by the servants and [[Jesus]] when they gave a welcomed surprise to the host without explaining the source.
*'''Implausible Absurdities''': the election outcome for the 2000 presidential election was implausibly close in [[Florida]], and apparently [[Al Gore]] lost because some [[Democrat]] voters in a predominantly liberal area misread the "butterfly ballot" and ended up voting for the [[conservative]] [[Pat Buchanan]].
*'''Logic''': man has a sense of humor, and man was created in the image of [[God]]. Hence God has a sense of humor.
*'''History''': man's sense of humor improved with the discovery and expansion of Christianity, which indicates their strong correlation. [[Friedrich Nietzsche]], after attacking Jesus and God in the last books he would ever write, went insane.
*'''Sociology''': the massive carvings of caricatures of human beings found, without a plausible explanation, on [[Easter Island]].
*'''Political [[atheist]]s''': atheistic political figures are known for their lack of a sense of humor, such as [[Attila the Hun]] and [[Adolf Hitler]], which suggests that the opposite of God is a lack of sense of humor
*'''Religious''': the encounter on the road to Emmaus, described at [[Luke 17-24 (Translated)#Chapter 24|Luke 25:13-31]], strongly suggests that God has intervened in amusing ways; also, God sometimes uses [[sarcasm]], as in [[Amos (Translated)#Chapter 4|Amos 4:4]].
*'''Scientific''': snowstorms have disrupted [[global warming]] conferences; regions that promote the [[global warming]] hoax have been subjected to brutally cold weather and record-breaking snowstorms.
*'''Zoology''': there are various animals, such as the duck-billed platypus, the cheeky monkey or the long-necked giraffe, that seem designed in order to amuse.
*'''[[Atheism]]''': atheistic nations like [[North Korea]] are known for their lack of a sense of humor.

*'''[[Ontological argument|Ontological]]''': God is defined as the greatest being conceivable, and it's better to have a sense of humor than not; therefore God has a sense of humor.
*'''Intrinsic Humor''': some humor is funny to virtually everyone who has a sense of humor - which would be impossible in the absence of intrinsic humor. Yet intrinsic humor would be impossible unless God appreciated it also.
*'''Contradictions and Disbelief''': contradictions and surprise are the essence of humor, and God's allowance of their basis to continue to exist suggests that God may find amusement in it.
*'''Landmarks''': the historic building for the [[U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit]] is named after its longtime Judge John Minor Wisdom - not major wisdom, but minor wisdom.

*'''Inexplicable Humor''': [[liberals]] in [[Colorado]] wanted to expel the successful, but outspokenly [[Christian]], [[Tim Tebow]], but he ended up in a much bigger media market as a result, and received even more publicity.
*'''Dreams''': some dreams might be God playing a trick for amusement purposes on you.
*'''The Bible''': see [[humor in the Bible]]
*'''Idolatry''': some who idolize [[Obama]] think that he is an atheist, when in fact he is likely a [[Muslim]]
*'''Miracle Catch of Fish''' (John 21:1-25) - God chose to reveal himself in a humorous by telling the fishermen, who had unsuccessfully tried all night to catch a fish, to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, which nearly broke the net with such a large catch of fish.
*'''[[Adultery]]''': The seventh commandment Thou shalt not commit adultery shows God has a sense of humor because when a womanizer from Arkansas had an affair with Miss [[Monica Lewinsky]] he tarnished his presidential reputation and created a field day for conservatives.

== on: Obscenity ==
[from: [[Conservapedia_talk:Commandments/Archive_2#Obscenity]] ]

Since Conservapedia admins are deleting articles that they consider obscene the Conservapedia Commandments should probably mention this and their definition of obscenity. On a related note family friendliness should also be defined . [[User:Sulgran|Sulgran]] 00:18, 8 March 2007 (EST)
:Family friendly and obscenity are pretty much "Would you show this to your child?" [[User:Geo.plrd|Geo.]] 01:12, 8 March 2007 (EST)
:: What people are willing to show their children varies from family to family and on the age of the child. Iin my family the level of profanity allowed depended on context of its use- profanity directed at someone else was much more problematic than profanity used as interjections or adverbs. ( can think of at least one English word that has two forms and depending where you are one is more acceptable than the other. I would also ask if the word for a female dog is acceptable? Does it depend on what context one is using it in? What about the word for an illegimate offspring? Two examples which I can probably safely mention are "gosh" which is no longer considered a serious swear by almost anyone and the word "sex." All of these seem to depend on both age and individual family. A much clearer criterion is needed. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 03:14, 8 March 2007 (EST)
:: I agree that this is too subjective. An example that I think is appropriate for Conservapedia is the Bible. Nobody will deny that there are passages in the Bible that many parents may be uncomfortable with their children reading. (I remember when I was a child asking my mother to explain the scene in Genesis where Lot impregnates his daughters and not receiving an answer.) Likewise, on Conservapedia, there may need to exist some pertinent, encylopedic information which may fall within the "gray area" of "would you show your children this?" Common sense in these cases may need to prevail. I'm not saying that we need to have graphic articles about sexuality or anything of the like. I'm just saying that there may need to be exceptions to the rule that Geo.plrd mentioned. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 01:44, 9 March 2007 (EST)

== on 'rule 3' ==
[from: [[Conservapedia_talk:Commandments/Archive_3#rule_3]] ]

I would like to point out that "family-friendly" and "clean" are fairly vague (clean is figurative, and probably not the best terminology) and probably "obscenity" is a better term than "foul language." Perhaps a rewording would be appropriate. Although, perhaps the language is intentional. [[User:Sterile|Sterile]] 09:00, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

:We use the term "family-friendly" as just that. When we edit here, we have to imagine what we write and how we write it can be seen by families with children. I'm aware of the fact that some children grow up in broken households, but we don't need to contribute to the problem. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 10:32, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

You're missing my point; the term is very vague and figurative. How does an encyclopedia entry become a friend to a family. It's just poor wording. "Prohibits sexually explicity material" or whatever specifically is to be avoided would be more exacting. [[User:Sterile|Sterile]] 10:45, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

:Perhaps a list of what is to be avoided should be drawn up and posted. How would that do? [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 10:47, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

::I for one think that would be a fantastic idea. A lot of the rules here strike me as fairly vague—if while the list is being drawn up you could give attention to my question above about defining gossip, I’d greatly appreciate that. If it would help, I’ve been recording, for personal use, what sysops have said about the rules (as a sort of collection of Conservapedia dicta if you will) and I’d be more than happy to post that to an appropriate page (it takes up something like 5 pages in Word so I don’t want to post it here).--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 19:24, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

*That is exactly why the rules are not too detailed. A wise Judge of the U.S. Supreme Court once wrote, when they were deliberating a pornography case, that he couldn't define it with words, but knew it when he saw it. Much the same in administering a website, Reginod. Gossip, btw, is unsubstantiated, unverified, talk or conversation that the spreader of has no real first-hand facts or information about. This includes spreading information, let's say, about a marital break-up, where the gossip spreader might or might not have first-hand knowledge, but not from both sides. Without all facts and information, trying to draw a conclusion as to who's fault it was, is senseless. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] [[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]] 20:16, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

:I appreciate the clarification TK—in fact you’ve defined gossip roughly how I was defining it. The problem with the “I know it when I see it approach” (which I have to admit I often find myself advocating in real life) is that it leads to very murky rules. So, I may think I’m posting a scandal which belongs on a page, and a sysop reading my addition may think I’ve simply posted gossip. Don’t get me wrong, I‘d be hard pressed to come up with a precise definition for most (if not all) of the important words in the Commandments and I usually agree with the gut instincts of those enforcing the rules here. But I don’t always agree and from reading the comments of others here I gather there are some who agree far less often than I. I think things would run more smoothly if there were some attempt at a rough explication of the rules, some sort of rough guidelines to let those of us trying to help the site know what is in and what is out and to give people a better idea of how the rules will be enforced. That’s just my two cents and I’m not sure what they are worth, but, that’s what I think.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 21:05, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

::*Yes, well some of what you wrote I do agree with. However, hard and fast rules, like mandatory sentencing guidelines imposed on Federal Judges, to use a well-known example, also can lead, far more often, to justice being denied or perverted. With a divergent group of Administrators, I have found on other sites that their own good judgement (either before or after meting out punishment, is usually enough to protect users. Absent that, peer pressure and ultimately, perhaps, the site owner(s) (Bureaucrats here) are sufficient brakes on abuse. I do recognize the validity in the scenario you paint above, and have lived it on other sites, and even here. No amount of specificity will protect all of the people, all of the time. There will always be dissension as to punishment, and there will always be what some consider abuse, no matter the precautions, but I would rather have some leeway, than be forced to block someone for a minor offense or mistake. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] [[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]] 21:40, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

:::*Let's look at some definitions of family:[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/family] http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/family:
:::"8. the staff, or body of assistants, of an official: the office family.
:::9. a group of related things or people: the family of romantic poets; the halogen family of elements.
:::10. a group of people who are generally not blood relations but who share common attitudes, interests, or goals and, frequently, live together: Many hippie communes of the sixties regarded themselves as families."
:::I guess I can use whatever "family-friendly" terminology that a hippie commune would use. [[User:Sterile|Sterile]] 22:04, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

*That is certainly your right, Sterile. However, I would avise you that since this isn't a judical body, the defense wouldn't be recognized....;-) --~ [[User:TK|TK]] [[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]] 07:39, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

== on: Please list banned sites ==
[from: [[Conservapedia_talk:Commandments/Archive_4#Please_list_banned_sites]] ]

Apparently mention of at least one other reference site is banned, and leads to automatic reversion of any edits mentioning it. It would be helpful if there was a list of these sites (assuming there are more than one), and perhaps a little explanation of why they are banned. I assume those sites are guilty of something worse than simply disagreeing with Conservapedia's POV. Thanks. --[[User:Woozle|woozle]] 19:22, 9 July 2008 (EDT)
:I only know of one banned site, but is certainly isn't a reference site nor is there any reason why your edits should be mentioning it. [[User:HenryS|HenryS]] 19:34, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

::Just type in "Conservapedia" and "FBI" on a google search and it will be the first result. Happy reading!--[[User:Hurst|Hurst]] 20:11, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

:::Attempting to create a list of "banned sites" would be pointless. There are a great many sites on the Internet that contain content inappropriate to and incompatible with Conservapedia's "family friendly" mission statement. Attempting to list them all would be a Sisyphean task. It's much more sensible simply to indicate, for instance, that pornography and links to pornography are unacceptable, rather than attempting to catalog every porn site on the Web as a "banned site." --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 20:17, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

::::Not all banned sites are porn sites. Some simply disagree with Conservapedia's POV. I think we can take it as a given that porn sites are not OK.--[[User:Hurst|Hurst]] 20:23, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

:::::We can also take it as a given that sites which specifically attack conservative values in general, or Conservapedia in particular, are not OK. It's one thing to respectfully disagree; it's another thing entirely to attack and ridicule. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 20:36, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Respectful disagreement is good. I asked the liberals to help us point out where CP and they disagree, but they refused and left in a huff. They want to dictate what we write, apparently.

What a shame that liberals who say they believe in freedom and human dignity refuse to grant the same rights to others that they demand for themselves. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 21:53, 9 July 2008 (EDT)
: I agree Ed. Instead they resort to, by their own admission, acts of cyber-vandalism. What a shame. [[User:HenryS|HenryS]] 22:26, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Friedrich Hayek

2021-07-16T15:16:29Z

Psircleback: Substantial re-working of Contributions section

[[Image:Hayek.jpg|right|frame]]
'''Friedrich August Von Hayek''' (1899-1992) was a [[Nobel Prize]] winning [[economist]] and one of the most prominent members of the [[Austrian School of Economics]], a [[libertarian]] economic theory. Hayek emphasized our limited knowledge of the markets (and other subjects), and thus our need for the price mechanism to communicate essential information about supply and demand. His theories are that no centralized planner or government can manage the [[economy]] and that the [[free market]] is the most efficient known allocator of resources.

Although Hayek was a self-proclaimed [[agnostic]]—which helps explain why was allowed to win a [[Nobel Prize]]—analysis has shown that "his treatment of individual liberty was more consistent
with a [[Judeo-Christian]] worldview than with that of his naturalist peers and
postmodernist successors."<ref>https://www.gordon.edu/ace/pdf/F&ESpr09ElzingaandGivens.pdf</ref>

==Life==

Hayek was born in [[Vienna]], which was then the capital of [[Austria-Hungary]]. As a teenager he studied biology, philosophy and ethics, before joining the Austrian Army aged 18 and becoming one of the pioneers of airborne artillery observation during [[World War 1]]. After the war he earned doctorates in law and political science. He moved to [[London]] in 1931 to be a professor at the [[London School of Economics]]. When Austria became part of [[Nazi Germany]] following the 1938 ''Anschluss'' Hayek refused to return there, and became a British subject.

Hayek was one of the most vocal and respected contemporary critics of the [[liberal]] and now widely discredited economist [[John Maynard Keynes]].

Hayek has been compared to the philosopher [[David Hume]] with respect to his insistence that we should be "sensible of our ignorance."

==Contributions==
===Early work===
Hayek's most influential work among economists are his 1935 academic papers "The Nature and History of the Problem" and "The Present State of the Debate," on the total inability of socialism to coordinate and allocate resources due to their lack of price signals, an effect that lead to the eventual collapse of the [[Soviet Union]]. Many of these ideas were developed in conjunction with his friend and mentor [[Ludwig von Mises]].<ref>[http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2011/01/caldwell_on_hay.html Econ Talk, Russ Roberts and Bruce Caldwell 10 January, 2011]</ref>

===The Road to Serfdom===
By far, Hayek's most famous book is ''[[The Road To Serfdom]]'' (1944). In it, he discusses the collapse of essential freedoms in the face of economic manipulation at the hands of well-meaning government actors. Written in Cambridge, UK from 1940 onwards, the book was intended mainly to warn a British audience of the dangers of socialism - a warning they sadly ignored by electing Labour's Clement Attlee to the premiership in the first post-war election in 1945 with, in time, catastrophic consequences for the British economy. The book faired much better in the US, becoming a runaway success after a condensed edition appeared in the Reader's Digest. John R. Searle chose ''Road to Serfdom'' as his book of the century, citing its very great influence on popular American post-war thought.

===The Constitution of Liberty===
In the 1950's and now domiciled in the United States, Hayek perceived the need for a more systematic popular treatment of the case for liberal democracy than the arguments he had advanced in ''Serfdom''; the result was 1960's magisterial three-part ''The Constitution of Liberty''. Although this new work, weighing-in at 350 pages plus extensive endnotes, could not hope to equal the success of his earlier book, nevertheless Hayek's ''Constitution'' had huge influence (especially in the UK, somewhat ironically) becoming, along with Popper's ''The Open Society and its Enemies'', a founding text of Thatcherism. "This is what we believe," affirmed a stern-faced Margaret Thatcher at a 1975 opposition meeting, according to John Ranelagh - holding up her copy just long enough for the attendees to read the title before banging it down emphatically onto the table.

===Criticism of Social Justice, Mill===
Hayek was critical of [[John Stuart Mill]] for popularizing the term "[[social justice]]."<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ebenstein|first1=Alan|title=Friedrich Hayek: A Biography|date=2014|publisher=Macmillan|location=New York|isbn=978-0312233440|pages=188}}</ref>

Hayek wrote:
{{cquote|Yet Mill appears to have been wholly unaware of the circumstance that in this meaning it refers to situations entirely different from those to which the four other meanings apply, or that this conception of 'social justice' leads straight to full-fledged socialism.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hayek|first1=Friedrich|title=Law, Legislation and Liberty, Volume 2: The Mirage of Social Justice|date=1978|publisher=[[University of Chicago]] Press|location=Chicago|isbn=978-0226320830|pages=63–64}}</ref>}}

==Quotes==
* "Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom."

* "'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded."

* "The more the state "plans" the more difficult planning becomes for the individual."

* "Justice is an attribute of individual action. I can be just or unjust towards my fellow man. But the conception of a social justice, to expect from an impersonal process which nobody can control, to bring about a just result, is not only a meaningless conception, it's completely impossible. See everybody talks about social justice but if you press people to explain to you what they mean by social justice, nobody knows. I am telling you because I've been trying for the past 20 years, asking people, what really are your principles of social justice?"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnMd40dqBlQ Social Justice], a discussion on [[Firing Line]] with [[William F.

[[Image:Road to serfdom.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]
'''The Road to Serfdom''' is a book written by [[Nobel Prize]] winning [[economist]] [[Friedrich Hayek]]. Published in 1944, it argues that all forms of [[collectivism]] and [[central planning]] lead logically and inevitably to [[tyranny]]. ''The Road to Serfdom'' has since become one of the cornerstones of [[conservative]] and [[libertarian]] thinking.
