roachboy, good comments on the traditional conservative. I'm on the same page as you regarding that. I tend to think of them when I see things like this project. I wonder if contemporary conservative thought is in any way internally balanced. I tend to see more of the line of thought in this wiki than I do the traditional mindset. Or, at least, it has a much higher public profile. I guess traditional conservatives, by nature, are good at not being seen.
It's been said, but I'll say it again: This wiki is a joke. It's like an attempt to return to the worst ideas and "knowledge" of the 19th century and prior. It mirrors the eurocentric pre-Enlightenment mindset, but somehow modernizes it.
I must stop looking through it.
