First Paragraph is a Joke 

Hilarious how Wikipedia purports to have a NPOV policy yet articles such as this continue to show just how liberal-biased its editors actually are. To wit, the first paragraph is an absolute joke. It might as well be a full-scale endorsement of modern liberalism. Focus on “individual liberties” so long as they don’t intrude upon the liberties and rights of others? That’s actually libertarianism (about as far right as you can get). How about modern liberals favor bigger government, higher taxes, and redistribution of wealth? No, that would be telling the truth, and wikipedians hate the truth if it places their ideology in a bad light. No matter what sources you bring to the table, and no matter how many you bring to the table, the masses of welfare-loving, big-government-favoring, anti-American, anti-religious, pro-terrorist, socialist democrat monkeys who run this mickey-mouse operation will (1) find a problem with the source (even when it is a peer-reviewed journal), (2) claim other sources favor the opposing viewpoint (even when their sources come from unreliable, and HIGHLTY biased sources), or – and this is the most common response – (3) try and interpret your source in a manner that would make it consistent with their own views (in vain, but since consensus carries the day, they end up winning). I’m giving up on this site. It’s a %@#$!&&$ joke.65.247.226.99
