HunterT:

Would it be acceptable (or legal) to link to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6413987104216231786# in this article? Sorry, I'm new and wanted to make sure I checked first. Thanks. [[User:HunterT|HunterT]] 01:09, 13 January 2010 (EST)

Incidentally, if you click on 20:45, there's a succinct explanation to the eye question. It then uses the stick insect as an example of how God's hand is visible in evolution. Overall, though, there are a lot of better documentaries that have been made since this one. (When it gets to the parts involving computers this becomes painfully obvious.)

Try not to be so insulting in your edit summaries. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 00:42, 13 January 2010 (EST)

:I don't see how it's any more insulting than the image I removed. I honestly thought it was vandalism. However, I do apologize for the misunderstanding. [[User:HunterT|HunterT]] 00:44, 13 January 2010 (EST)

:Also, I just clicked on the "Recent changes" link in the sidebar. A few lines down from me removing the joke image from [[liberalism]], it says (Block log); 23:51 . . Jpatt (Talk | contribs) changed block settings for Elmerellsysopworth (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 5 years (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked) (Liberal name calling: user has many issues, he should look in the mirror) - I would say that's slightly more insulting than saying something was "probably added by a vandal" (which it looked like it was).

Liberalism

HunterT: removed joke image probably inserted by a vandal

<blockquote>''The following article describes the term "liberalism" as it is used today. For the historical meaning of liberalism, see [[Classical liberalism]].''</blockquote>

'''Liberalism''' can refer to a number of political philosophies. In this article the [[United States of America|American]] political platform referred to as "liberal" within the United States is contrasted with other meanings of the word, particularly in [[Europe]] and in other [[Parliamentary democracy|parliamentary democratic]] systems.

== United States ==

In the U.S. the word ''liberal'' is usually used to describe the platform espoused by the [[Democratic Party]], that is, support of [[social welfare]] systems, redistribution of wealth, and government regulation of the economy - combined with a certain brand of individual [[libertarianism]], emphasizing social equality, and (to a certain extent) rejection of traditional [[Judaism|Judeo]]-[[Christianity|Christian]] standards of [[morality]] as a proper foundation for [[law]].

The [[economic]] aspects of this ideology are to a large extent a product of the [[New Deal]] policies of the [[Great Depression]] era, as well as [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]'s "[[Great Society]]." The Democratic Party's idea of social liberty and equality, though, came much later, partly as a result of the [[Civil rights movement|civil rights]] and [[counterculture]] movements of the late 20<sup>th</sup> century. It continues to be fueled by various youth movements and the interests of numerous special interest groups.

== Europe and elsewhere ==

In Europe, ''liberalism'' refers to a political position that leans toward greater individual liberties and less government intervention in general. In short, this is the philosophy closest to [[classical liberalism]], and is commonly referred to in the United States as [[libertarianism]]. In Europe and elsewhere, then, the opposite of liberalism is not [[conservatism]], but [[authoritarianism]].

Because of this, the terms "conservative liberalism" and "liberal conservatism", which are seen as contradictory in the U.S., are not so in Europe. "Conservative liberalism" simply refers to a less radical libertarian philosophy, and is often referred to as "law-and-order liberalism." Liberal conservatism is simply a variant of conservatism willing to allow for individual liberties, and, in a way, describes the ideology of the American [[Republican Party]]. Such examples of this obvious line of thought include the [[civil rights movement]], when the Republican Party (and a few southern Democrats) just wanted to maintain the African American's right to have the choice of forced segregation.

HunterT: oops

I heard about Conservapedia on ''The Colbert Report'' and think it's an interesting idea. I hope to contribute in the near future once I acquaint myself with the customs of your website.

I had previously created an account but was asked to make one using my real name.
