No. Its just a bunch of knuckle draggers.

They were able to classify Ron Paul as a RINO but not Romney.

They also call Alexander Hamilton the greatest conservative, whilst not telling the same about Thomas Jefferson.

What kind of "conservatism" do they advocate?

As a self-identified conservative, albeit of a rather unorthodox brand, I've several issues with Conservapedia.

- They go to any length to prove that Darwinism, Atheism and Homosexuality are horrible, terrible things, associated to the worst things mankind ever saw.
- They created quite a schizophrenic definition of conservatism. One that puts Lincoln, Romney and Eisenhower as heroes, but Ron Paul as a mere RINO. They hate Christie or Schwarzenegger, but they love Huckabee, the tax-raiser, felon-pardoner governor. Whilst they do include Dubya as a RINO, they nonetheless praise him for his policies regarding Iraq, which I'm pretty sure men would make men like Larry McDonald or Robert A. Taft, REAL conservatives, simply vomit.
- They classified Ingraham, Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh and countless other famous conservative radio hosts ass "RINO backers". The reason? They stood against Todd Akin after his comments on rape. You can guess how they treat George F. Will, whom happens to be conservative and atheist.
- They still endorse birther points of view. Whilst I DO think that everything regarding Obama's past needs to be better explained, particularly concerning his SSN and the signature on his birth certificate, the fact is that they had the opportunity to reject his presidential bid back in 2008. They didn't do it. Its too late now. They should focus on other things.

They're all wingnuts (though not a hate group in my opinion). Even if they were, its a right to hate.

Conservatives have no right to call anyone hateful or intolerant.

They have. Its the right to Freedom of Speech.
