Egalitarianism is simply absurd

Wikipedia is highly edited and the Admins have the final say. There is no real fact checking or even a pretence. Idiots like to think it's free but it's not.

There is plenty of fact checking.  BY THE PEOPLE WHO CHECK THE TOPICS.

And there are plenty of people who are going about, checking the topics.  All the time.  That is why some articles have "The neutrality of this article is disputed", so that people will correct it.

Of course.  Because you're RIGHT.

Anything that is free information bothers you, because it contradicts your own personal biased sources.

Anybody who is RIGHT would do the same.  It's ok.

Yes, and as we all know, truth has a liberal bias.

Conservatives only believe in truthiness. As long as it *sounds* like the truth and fits their ideology, it must be true.

Obama 360 and rising --  McSame 178.

America will once again rise from the ashes of a Bush.
