The Conservapedia Scorecard is an objective and honest evaluation of groups or websites that call themselves conservative or have many conservative members, supporters or visitors. As politics is always changing, the most recent statements or actions of the groups will receive the greatest weighting. Criteria will include whom they invite as speakers at their conventions, what they say about current events, what cases they file briefs in, and how effective they are.
| Group | Profile of Guest Speakers/Contributors | Recent Positions |
|---|---|---|
| NRA | Neoconservative speakers featured rather than strong conservatives like Marco Rubio, Michele Bachmann, Rand Paul and Jim DeMint[1] | Supported pro-same-sex marriage candidate Dede Scozzafava rather than Doug Hoffman for Congress in early 2010, and supported RINO Bob Bennett (both were defeated by huge margins) |
| CPAC | Strong representation by libertarians, but thin on pro-life and traditional marriage issues | Does not take positions but Ron Paul won the straw poll in 2010 and Jim DeMint had the highest approval rating as a speaker |
| FRC | ||
| Cato | Strongly against Big Government, but weak on traditional conservative values; voicing no objection to abortion.[2] | Somewhat taken in by the homosexual agenda with their opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment.[3] One of the few to file an amicus brief against the global warming hoax in Comer v. Murphy Oil, pending before the Fifth Circuit en banc. |
| Federalist Society | Increasingly avoids socially conservative speakers, and features neoconservatives instead | Constantly challenge the liberal bias in law and academia. Agree that ObamaCare is unconstitutional.[4] |
| National Right to Life | ||
| Drudge Report | ||
| Newsmax | ||
| WorldNetDaily | Sensible, logical, Christian conservative contributors prevail. | Continues to call for Obama to release his birth certificate. Publishes material contradicting the pseudosciences of global warming and evolution that other outlets censor. |
