É tudo uma questão de citações

A resposta conservadora americana à parcialidade liberal da Wikipedia que denuncia já apareceu na net: é a Conservapedia (The Trustworthy Encyclopedia). Não sou grande fã da Wikipedia devido à insegurança e ocasional falta de rigor das suas fontes e autores, mas alguns exemplos do seu clone ilustram bem as diferenças. Senão, vejamos:

"Homosexuality is an immoral sexual lifestyle between members of the same sex. It is more than simply a sexual act, it is going beyond the boundaries that God has setup for marriage; one man and one woman. Sexual relations between the same sex is condemned in both Old and New Testaments. It is forbidden directly four times in the Bible."
"The theory of evolution is a naturalistic explanation of the history of life on earth (This refers to the theory of evolution which employs methodological naturalism and is commonly taught in public schools and universities). [..] A majority of the most prominent and vocal defenders of the naturalistic evolutionary position since World War II have been atheists."
"Abortion is the induced termination of a pregnancy. The father of medicine, Hippocrates, expressly prohibited abortion in his ethical Oath long before Christianity. Today abortion is a billion-dollar industry in the United States and Western Europe except for Ireland, Malta and Poland, where it is generally illegal."
"The global warming warming issue is a political battle over the science of climate change. In the general, the term global warming can be used for any upward trend in the global mean temperature, but it is mostly used to refer to the 1° F warming since 1850. [...] As we learn more about climate, the "settled" conclusions of global-warming alarmists appear more ridiculous."
