I'm thinking of making a Wiki to expose the RW

One of the tactics the New Right has is secrecy. Here is a quote from Jerry Falwell stressing just that during the 2000 Election.

"Our crowd needs to get into the battle, keep their mouths shut and help this man (Bush) win."
New York Times, August 3, 2000.

This is a first in electoral politics. Never before has a force that tried to participate in the Democratic Process been so secretive. It is this secrecy which has brought RW'ers who are so far out of the mainstream that they don't even know what it is and it has brought them into positions of power or being able to be first in line to tell politicians what to do.

Take the Traditional Values Coalition for example, this group is a hate group according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Yet, it's founder, Lou Sheldon has the numbers of Tom DeLay and George W. Bush on speed dial.

This has got to stop, we DON'T need a revolution, we need the Right Wing to be EXPOSED. And that's why I'm going to make a Wiki which will do just that. And, it will not be hindered by a NPOV policy, so no wikiality required.

I wanted to tell my fellow DU'ers first, it will be viewable by the general public, but not editable by them, so if you want help participate in the project, then please tell me.

3. Christians need to be shown how they have had their ears tickled

By words of false prophets. How all this political coercion has left them with egg on their faces. They need a reminder of how Jesus was the Prince of Peace and not a warmonger and not a hatemonger. They've been used and are walking lock-step (or goose-step) with evil incarnate.

4. Full time job keeping the Freepers out of the works?

Your Wiki will become target numero uno for the Freepers. They'll be at you night and day.

How do you propose to stop them?

5. That's why it won't be editable by the general public

I'm planning on having a Yahoo Group, the people of this group will be able to edit the Wiki as well as being able to use it to collaborate.
