The [[Toronto Star]] mistakenly claims that [[Ayn Rand]] was [[conservative]] and that [[Tom Flanagan]] is a social [[conservative]].

Astute political readers will immediately recognize those errors:

:*[[Ayn Rand]] was an [[atheism|atheist]] whose philosophy most closely resembled [[libertarianism]].

:*[[Tom Flanagan]] is affiliated with a libertarian group in [[Canada]] that supports legalizing [[marijuana]], which suggests that he is ''not'' a social conservative. He has said little or nothing about [[abortion]], [[same-sex marriage]], or prayer in school in recent years.

The newspaper article is wrong in basing its criticism of Conservapedia on its premise that Ayn Rand was conservative and that Tom Flanagan is a social conservative. The article misleads readers into thinking that social conservatives are somehow critical of Conservapedia.

guys i cant edit the talk page so i have to put a comment here. really there's a VERY strong liberal bias in almost ALL canadian newspapers especialy the french ones and I should know ebcause I'm canadian! the only conservative news paper is the National post and even then it sometimes is sort of leftyish but only sometimes. i dont want to mess up the article or get in a fight thats why Im writing this comment but the talk page is locked i think.

:Interesting observation, but we need a reliable source stating this if we want to put that into the article. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 14:05, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
