&lt;div&gt;'''Murder''' is the deliberate, malicious and unlawful killing of one human being by another.  [[Edward Coke|Sir Edward Coke]] defined it as: &amp;quot;when a man of sound memory, and of the age of discretion, unlawfully killeth within any county of the realm any reasonable creature in ''rerum natura''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;rerum natura:  In the nature of things; in existence.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; under the king's peace, with malice aforethought, either expressed by the party or implied by law, so as the party wounded, or hurt, etc. die of the wound or hurt etc. within a year and a day after the same.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Coke 3 Inst 47&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Liberals, who hold to moral relativism, refuse to admit that murder is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;A man of sound memory, and of the age of discretion&amp;quot; means, in essence, a sane man.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;reasonable creature ''in rerum natura''&amp;quot; means any human being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;malice aforethought&amp;quot; is a legal concept and only requires a momentary intention immediately prior to the act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[Common law|common law]] rule that in order for an act to constitute murder, the victim  must die within a year and a day of the wounding, has now been modified by statute in a number of jurisdictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to various secular prohibitions, the sixth&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Exodus]] 20:3-17 and [[Deuteronomy]] 5:6-21&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; of the [[Ten Commandments]] forbids murder. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legality==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Killing humans is often legalized and committed without repercussions from governments. Such cases include wars, police actions, executions of prisoners, and [[abortion]]. The moral implications of these actions is often the subject of debate. It should be noted that although they end life, and may or may not be subject to homicide laws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Degrees ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with deliberate intent to kill: (1) murder in the first degree is characterized by premeditation; (2) murder in the second degree is characterized by a sudden and instantaneous intent to kill or to cause injury without caring whether the injury kills or not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*A group of crows is called &amp;quot;a murder of crows&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Biblical Cain is history's first murderer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A '''pedophile''' or '''paedophile''' (non-US spelling) is a person (usually a liberal) who is sexually attracted to young [[children]]. A pedophile who acts out his or her wishes in the form of viewing child [[pornography]] or molesting youngsters is committing a [[crime]] and breaking virtually all moral codes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pedophilia used to be considered a [[mental illness]], but the APA changed its stance in 1994.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://home.messiah.edu/~chase/h/articles/regenera/apa.htm Pedophilia No Longer a Disorder, Psychiatric Association Decides]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;the American Psychiatric Association has stated is that an adult may engage in sex with a nine-year-old child, and if the adult is not bothered by what he is doing, then he has no reason to seek professional help.

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Stephencolbert2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Stephen Colbert''' is an extremist liberal writer, comedian and actor. Colbert is a [[Catholic]], a Sunday school teacher&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/07/13/ask-tv-squad-stephen-colbert-teaches-sundayschool/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, and a self-proclaimed [[Democrat]], however one of his political heroes is [[Richard Nixon]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/jon_stewart_stephen_colbert_americas_anchors/page/4 Rolling Stone Interview, Oct 31, 2006&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, as he claims he was the last 'liberal president'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colbert began his career at Comedy Central in the year 2000 with the show [[Strangers with Candy]], he later left to become a correspondent on [[The Daily Show|The Daily Show with Jon Stewart]], where he began to build what would later be the character he would play on [[Colbert Report|The Colbert Report]]. He was well-regarded on the show, occasionally guest-hosting when Stewart had to be elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For his work on The Daily Show, he won three [[Emmy Awards]] and two [[Peabody Awards]] along with the other writers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0170306/awards IMDB List of Stephen Colbert Awards &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://128.192.29.189/news/pressrelease.asp?ID=151 List of 2007 Peabody Award Winners&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Colbert Report==&lt;br /&gt;
''Main article: [[Colbert Report|The Colbert Report]]''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005, Colbert left &amp;quot;The Daily Show&amp;quot; to become the host of a spinoff, &amp;quot;The Colbert Report&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the show, Colbert plays a satirical right-wing political talk show host, largely based on [[Bill O'Reilly]], who has a friendly rivalry with the show. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The Colbert Report&amp;quot; has a very loyal following which the Colbert character often uses for his various pranks, for example, in every public vote for naming something, Colbert urges his fans to vote for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his recurring segment &amp;quot;The Word,&amp;quot; a parody of O'Reilly's &amp;quot;Talking Points,&amp;quot; Colbert coined the word &amp;quot;truthiness&amp;quot; to refer to the quality possessed by statements which, though factually false, are repeated by supporters who feel in their hearts that they ''ought'' to be true, and regard it as quibbling to object to their falsehood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colbert has poked fun at [[Wikipedia]] and its apparent democratization of truth. He has coined the word &amp;quot;Wikiality&amp;quot; (as opposed to &amp;quot;reality,&amp;quot;) and caused trouble for Wikipedia by suggesting that his listeners alter articles. In August of 2006, he encouraged users to state that the population of African [[elephants]] had tripled in the last decade. Colbert's point was that if enough people believe something, it becomes &amp;quot;the truth.&amp;quot; Wikipedia responded by reverting and locking down the pages to prevent further vandalism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, Colbert had viewers write-in his name into a public vote done by [[NASA]] to name a new room addition to the [[International Space Station]]. Colbert's cult like followers won the contest for him with an astonishing 230,539 total votes, 40,000 more than NASA's choice of Serenity.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The '''Woman's Christian Temperance Union''' is an American woman's group based in pietistic Protestant with the mission of purifying the nation, especially by reducing drunkenness and eliminating saloons. The members soon discovered they needed the vote to become politically effective, so they fought for woman suffrage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Women's Crusade of spring 1874 led to the organization of the national and state Woman's Christian Temperance Union - the first major women's organization to exclude men. It gave women a sense of solidarity, a public forum in which to train in politics, a broadened outlook, and interdenominational contacts. Members were married, well-educated, affluent, and of main-line Protestant, professional families.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;see [http://www.wctu.org/crusades.html WCTU statement&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the WTCU was a prominent support force for [[Prohibition]] in the late 19th century.  It had hundreds of local affiliates across the U.S., Canada and Australia. The WCTU was a watershed in the self-perception of women which represented a real, if only partially conscious, commitment to the idea that women could legitimately function in the public realm. Linked backwards to the national issues of abolition and revivalism in the 1830s and continued by the public debate over liquor licensing in 1873-74, the temperance crusade, by working within the traditional bounds of home and morality, widened the accepted spheres of women's activity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Bordin (1981)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership==&lt;br /&gt;
===Vermont===&lt;br /&gt;
In Vermont the WCTU grew to 2,375 members in 1888. It helped pass a law permitting tax-paying women to vote and hold office in school districts (few did), and a temperance education law. It split, as elsewhere, over the issues of woman suffrage and support of the Prohibition Party. It also declined because many of its dynamic leaders left the state, and because by the 1890s there were competing women's organizations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Deborah P. Clifford, &amp;quot;The Women's War Against Rum.&amp;quot; ''Vermont History'' 1984 52(3): 141-160. 0042-4161 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Georgia===&lt;br /&gt;
The Atlanta chapter of the WCTU was founded in 1880, followed in 1883 by the Georgia WCTU under the presidency of Jane Elizabeth Sibley. The organization at first enjoyed close relations with the [[Southern Methodist Church]] in Georgia but conflict later arose over the issue of women's rights, particularly since the WCTU had close connections with the Georgia Women's Suffrage Association, set up in 1889. Warren Akin Candler, president of Emory College, was a particularly vociferous Methodist opponent of WCTU support for female suffrage in the 1890s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Nancy A. Hardesty, &amp;quot;The Best Temperance Organization in the Land&amp;quot;: Southern Methodists And The W.C.T.U. Methodist History 1990 28(3): 187-194. 0026-1238 &amp;lt;/Ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 1900 leadership in the prohibition movement swung away from the WCUA to the [[Anti-Saloon League]], a pressure group run by men. The WCTU still exists today and is the oldest continuing non-sectarian woman's organization in the world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.wctu.org/history.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
===Wittenmyer===&lt;br /&gt;
Annie Turner was the first president (1874-79) of the National WCTU, the outgrowth of the Women's Temperance Crusade, a pre-Civil War spontaneous movement throughout the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
As a recently widowed, wealthy woman, Mrs. Wittenmyer became a leader in woman's war service. After the war she returned to church-oriented work and the promotion of the Crusade. &lt;br /&gt;
===Willard===&lt;br /&gt;
The most prominent leader was [[Frances E. Willard]], who took over in 1879.  Willard broadened the appeal of membership in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and justified the propriety of women's political involvement through a &amp;quot;feminism of fear,&amp;quot; by advocating a new vision for women in society, one that promoted security above rights. Willard emphasized the importance of marital stability and the protection of the middle-class woman's accepted roles of wife and mother over the extension of political rights to women. Concentrating on organizing women at the local level, Willard was highly successful in building the WCTU's membership.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Suzanne M. Marilley, &amp;quot;Frances Willard and the Feminism of Fear.&amp;quot; ''Feminist Studies'' 1993 19(1): 123-146. 0046-3663 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Locals===&lt;br /&gt;
Typical chapters in small cities consisted of white, middle-class, Protestant women, with very few if any Catholics, Hispanics or African Americans. Their social standing in the community influenced legislators to support prohibition. The chapter favored women suffrage so that women could vote for prohibition, educated the public as to the problems caused by alcohol abuse, and played a major role in the national adoption of the 18th Amendment in 1919-20. &lt;br /&gt;
===Carrie Nation===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1899 Carry Nation joined other WCTU members in closing illegal liquor joints, using nonviolent means. However, in 1900 in Wichita, Kansas, she began using violent methods, smashing saloons with hatchets. The membership of the Kansas State Temperance Union and WCTU were split over these actions. In Topeka she met with Governor William Eugene Stanley and organized women into an army of Home Defenders who violently attacked saloons. Male prohibitionists began to organize themselves apart from women. Her crusade attracted nationwide hostile publicity (most big city newspapers were &amp;quot;wet&amp;quot;) and had little immediate effect upon saloon business but in 1901 the legislature did enact more stringent enforcement provisions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Robert Smith Bader, &amp;quot;Mrs. Nation&amp;quot;. ''Kansas History'' 1984-85 7(4): 246-262. 0149-9114 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
==Programs==&lt;br /&gt;
===Publications===&lt;br /&gt;
During 1886-1901, the Woman's Temperance Publishing Association (WTPA) in Chicago was the official publishing house of the national WCTU. By 1890, the WTPA employed more than 100 people and produced more than 125 million pages of literature annually. Focuses on the scope and methods of operation of the WTPA, which engaged in a wide variety of publishing and book selling activities in order to reach the public with the WCTU message. In the 1890s, the proportion of commercial printing of the WTPA's total annual production steadily increased and accounted for two-thirds of the output by 1898. However, the WTPA's profits were adversely affected by the economy of the 1890's, by rapid technological advances in printing machinery, and by conflicts within the WCTU and the WTPA board of directors. These factors led to the company's decisions in the early 1900's to lease the business to the William Johnston Printing Company and to withdraw as an affiliate of the WCTU.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Jane L. McKeever, &amp;quot;The Woman's Temperance Publishing Association.&amp;quot; ''Library Quarterly'' 1985 55(4): 365-397. 0024-2519 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Textbooks===&lt;br /&gt;
Mrs. Mary Hanchett Hunt, as chairman of the WCTU's scientific temperance committee, led a campaign for the textbook study of temperance in the public schools. In 1882 she succeeded in having the Vermont legislature pass a bill to make such instruction mandatory. Other states followed and by 1901 all states had such laws. In 1886 a Congressional bill for temperance instruction in the public schools was signed by President [[Grover Cleveland]] (a wet who opposed prohibition).  Mrs. Hunt's campaign extended to textbook coverage of temperance, which aroused the opposition of the Committee of Fifty, of the ''Popular Science Monthly'', and other periodicals. After Mrs. Hunt's death in 1906 the WCTU stopped endorsing textbooks, yet temperance instruction remained in vogue until after the repeal of Prohibition.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Norton Mezvinsky,  &amp;quot;Scientific Temperance Instruction in the Schools.&amp;quot; ''History of Education Quarterly'' 1961 1(1): 48-56. 0018-2680  &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Sex===&lt;br /&gt;
In response to prostitution and venereal disease issues at the turn of the 20th century, the Ontario, Canada, branch of the WCTU took the lead in sex instruction for children. The group strongly encouraged mothers to provide sexual knowledge to their children at home, but the regimen advocated was virtually impossible for most households. The WCTU hired Arthur Beall to provide public lectures on sex to children, usually boys. His lectures mixed hygiene, conservative Christianity, and Canadian patriotism. In 1912 the Ontario Department of Education hired Beall to continue this work. The high percentage of Canada's troops stricken with venereal disease during World War I made venereal disease a military topic and encouraged the physician-led social hygiene movement, whose mother-blaming tactics the WCTU consistently opposed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Christabelle Sethna, &amp;quot;Men, Sex, and Education: The Ontario Women's Temperance Union And Children's Sex Education, 1900-20.&amp;quot; ''Ontario History'' 1996 88(3): 185-206. 0030-2953 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Purity and motherhood===&lt;br /&gt;
The WCTU based its broad reform campaigns on women's &amp;quot;natural&amp;quot; moral superiority and on the public virtue of motherhood. Such a conservative foundation, combined with the organization's commitment to a very wide range of social issues, permitted the active involvement of both conservatives and radicals. The World WCTU Convention of 1920 addressed world peace, suffrage, domestic violence, and prostitution, as well as alcoholism. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Purity crusades, including efforts to stamp out pornography and prostitution, were major activities. The Department for the Promotion of Purity in Literature and Art was established in 1883. Its strategy was to use &amp;quot;pure culture&amp;quot; to effect the moral transformation of youth. The WCTU worked for legal censorship, published magazines for children and young adults, distributed inexpensive reproductions of famous paintings, and promoted and produced pro-temperance films. In this way, middle-class Americans sought to create and support middlebrow culture.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Alison M. Parker, &amp;quot;'Hearts Uplifted And Minds Refreshed': The Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Production of Pure Culture in the United States, 1880-1930.&amp;quot; ''Journal of Women's History'' 1999 11(2): 135-158. 1042-7961 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The WCTU archives are in the Frances E. Willard Memorial Library, Evanston, Illinois, &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''''The Daily Show''''' purports to be a [[satire|satirical]] program that airs on cable network [[Comedy Central]]. It is known for catering to an audience of college students, many of whom have been indoctrinated by liberal professors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Liberal]]s have recognized the [[leftist]] slant of the show by giving it a [[Peabody Awards|Peabody Award]] and nine [[Emmy]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;IMDb - Awards for The Daily Show [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115147/awards]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early Years ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The show was originally hosted by Craig Kilborn, but in 1998 [[Jon Stewart]] replaced Kilborn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Jon Stewart on ''The Daily Show'' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jon Stewart is a noted [[liberal]] and is currently the host of ''The Daily Show''. He often satirizes [[George W. Bush]], the war in [[Iraq War|Iraq]], [[United States Congress|Congress]], and [[United States]] foreign policy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20060711_jon_stewart_bush_diplomacy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Like other network news channels, Stewart often shows video clips, sound bites, and news stories in which Republican and other Conservative [[politicians]] are made to look silly, often edited or taken out of context so that they appear to be contradicting themselves, or showing [[United States Senate|Senate]] speeches that seem ridiculous. However, he gives a notably easy ride to President [[Obama]] and most other [[liberal]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Correspondents ==&lt;br /&gt;

The comedians can be seen as showing a [[liberal bias]] while performing their &amp;quot;news&amp;quot; stories.  The segments are usually aimed at poking fun at and satirizing the political parties in power.

&lt;div&gt;'''''The Daily Show''''' purports to be a [[satire|satirical]] program that airs on cable network [[Comedy Central]]. It is known for catering to an audience of college students,teenagers, many of whom have been indoctrinated by liberal professors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Liberal]]s have recognized the [[leftist]] slant of the show by giving it a [[Peabody Awards|Peabody Award]] and nine [[Emmy]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;IMDb - Awards for The Daily Show [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115147/awards]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early Years ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The show was originally hosted by Craig Kilborn, but in 1998 [[Jon Stewart]] replaced Kilborn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Jon Stewart on ''The Daily Show'' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jon Stewart is a noted [[liberal]] and is currently the host of ''The Daily Show''. He often satirizes [[George W. Bush]], the war in [[Iraq War|Iraq]], [[United States Congress|Congress]], and [[United States]] foreign policy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20060711_jon_stewart_bush_diplomacy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Like other network news channels, Stewart often shows video clips, sound bites, and news stories in which Republican and other Conservative [[politicians]] are made to look silly, often edited or taken out of context so that they appear to be contradicting themselves, or showing [[United States Senate|Senate]] speeches that seem ridiculous. However, he gives a notably easy ride to President [[Obama]] and most other [[liberal]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The Daily Show caters more to college students than to Public school high school students, so does anyone mind if I change the article accordingly?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current title of this show is ''The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'', as the narcissistic Mr. Stewart (nee Liebowitz) has insisted it be called.  Please retitle the page accordingly. [[User:J2xl|J2xl]] 14:02, 2 December 2007 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its just a more descriptive title.  Also it differentiates from the original Daily Show with Craig Whatshisface. --[[User:Snotbowst|Snotbowst]] 21:14, 3 March 2008 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
I have trouble with the fact that almost all of the sources are from comedycentral.com[[User:PastafarianFSM|PastafarianFSM]] 12:28, 5 May 2008 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like how the introduction now reads as though it's arguing with itself.[[User:Sam99foster|Sam99foster]] 17:16, 1 February 2009 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Good point.  I removed the irrelevant liberal bias.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:20, 1 February 2009 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Revert? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why were my changes to this article [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=The_Daily_Show&amp;amp;diff=640713&amp;amp;oldid=638850 reverted]? My first reference was of O'Reilly's description of the show's audience, and the second was to a Pew Research Center report that showed that description to be inaccurate. Together these fully support the entirety of my edit. I'd rather resolve this here than start an edit war. Can someone explain this to me? --[[User:SStaples|SStaples]] 23:48, 16 March 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: You act like O'Reilly is a conservative authority.  He isn't.  The Pew Research Center is a liberal canard.  You seemed to delete the reliable study of public school television watching.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:57, 17 March 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Well, let's see. O'Reilly may not be a conservative authority, but it is fair to say that he was reinforcing a commonly held misconception about the show's audience by way of his prominence in pop culture. I've never heard the Pew Research Center referred to as &amp;quot;a liberal canard&amp;quot; (you are welcome to back up this assertion with proof), but in any case, their study ''did'' show O'Reilly's statement to be incorrect. Moreover, I fail to see how the average time spent watching television for public schooled teenagers is relevant, since 1) you have not shown that the statement &amp;quot;it is known for catering to an audience of public school teenagers&amp;quot; is true because there was no source for this claim and 2) the 60% who watch more than three hours a day were from Memphis schools, whereas the national average is 35%. From the existing source:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::''&amp;quot;On an average school day, more than 60 percent of the [Memphis] public school teens reported watching TV three or more hours a day compared with the U.S. average of 35 percent.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::For the time being, I'm willing to compromise and include both the original language and citation and my new material. Sound fair? --[[User:SStaples|SStaples]] 08:12, 17 March 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SStaples, read my blocking policy on my user page, and the Commandments and CP [[Guidelines]]. This is a conservative encyclopedia, a Christian friendly one.  It isn't your right to come here and insert liberal bias, backed by sources that are universally recognized as liberal or leftist. We don't compromise on our conservative and Christian principles.  Period. If someone told you we did, or you think we should, that would be wrong.  --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;/Admin&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 08:38, 17 March 2009 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;To '''examine''' means to look at [[something]] closely and analytically.  Most liberals are incapable of viewing anything from a logical standpoint, but instead simply repeat fallacious information they heard from another source, usually with no knowledge of what they are talking about.&lt;br /&gt;
