Talk:Patriot mythology

article title
Do sources actually refer to this concept as "Patriot mythology"? That's a pretty strong misuse of the term mythology. If that's what it's actually most commonly called, fine, but if it's some neologism coooked up by the article writer that really has to go. DreamGuy 03:12, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

NPOV/Original research
I added the npov and original research tags because the article does not establish that the term "patriot mythology" is anything other than one person's term for a vaguely-defined concept. This article should definitely be rewritten and possibly deleted. Paul 00:04, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Google has several examples of use. I thought it was a better title than "Idiot legal arguments." Gazpacho 07:01, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Certainly there must be a third option which is better than either one of those. DreamGuy 08:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Possibly, but "Patriot mythology" is how people who study it refer to it. It is a product of the Christian patriot movement. Perhaps a merge is in order? Gazpacho 18:04, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Tags
I put the tags back on. Tags should a) not be summarily deleted and b) removed only when some improvement has been made to the article. There are still no sources or references cited, only "examples" of what the author thinks constitute "patriot mythology." I'd be happy to help improve the article, please let me know if you would like to work together on it. Paul 18:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * This is problematic, because many sites that use the phrase "patriot mythology" are themselves pushing legal nonsense (that's the term professional lawyers use), and using the phrase to distance themselves from other sources. But I'll work on it. Gazpacho 21:34, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I decided that a merge to Christian Patriot made the most sense. That way I can write about the myths without labelling them. If you have any doubts that the patriot movement believes any of these claims, there is plenty of evidence at the militia watchdog site (the one with "Idiot Legal Arguments"), including letters and publications from the movement.
