It means to deny. It doesn't have any religious implications to it.

True, the word used to be used in reference to a fallen Christian or a lordless knight, similar to the Japanese word 'ronin.'
And by 'used to' I mean '800 years ago.'
I shouldn't be surprised, as conservapedia lives by going batshit crazy over things that wouldn't make 99% of anyone bat an eye.

And "maverick" used to mean an unbranded cow.

The name chosen for Mrs Obama is "Renaissance". btw, Secret Service chose the names.
That's another harbinger of doom for the Christers.

It's not a code name if numbnuts from Conservapedia can figure it out, now is it?

[And what precisely does renegade mean?...one who has renounced Christianity and converted to Islam.]
That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
M-W.com had the following:
1) a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/renegade
There's no specific mention of Christianity or Islam.
Of course, all this is irrelevant. There is no religious test for government office. Separation of church and state, remember?

Yeah, Obama is an evil muslim. Did you also know he was a card carrying member of the Soviet communist party and his first presidential act will be to bring Lenin back to life. Must crush capitalism

Good Grief!
If he'd chosen the name jesus as his code name, it would have been wrong too, right?!

Just another reason why no one takes conservapedia seriously, except for the few people that contribute to it. My favorite part of the site is how in the debate topics they use conservapedia as a source...

When was the last time the Muslims had a major hold on Spain? Five hundred years ago? Even if that was the word's origin, (which I doubt,) its usage in English means something very different... Try using a dictionary in your own language.

What exactly is the point of these SECRET Service codenames if they're being put out on press release?

I've often seen "renegade" used as a near synonym to "maverick".

Let's break this bullshit down.
President-elect Obama has chosen the Secret Service code name 'Renegade'
Charges of the Secret Service do not get to pick their codename, the Secret Service picks the codenames and changes them every so often. You a making a flat out lie
And what precisely does renegade mean?
In the current vernacular? Or the antiquated use of the word. Do you even know?
It comes from the Spanish word renegado
My knowledge of spanish is limited, so i'll give you that one.
meaning one who has renounced Christianity and converted to Islam.
The Reconquista is over, deal with it. Words change meanings over time and translation and using an archaic meaning is a clear attempt to mislead and decive.
Regardless of the original usage of the word it is not the meaning of it in the vulgar argot of today and you know it, I'm quite sure there are plenty of words you use today that no god fearing christian would have used 800 years ago.

Yeah, but Obama speaks English. What's your point? The word God comes from a word for a Germanic mound spirit.

Conservapedia is apparently run by a bunch of brain rot.

Wow, so my three years of Spanish classes in high school were a complete waste of time, then? Damn, I should have just went to fundy schools instead, they would have taught me the real meaning of words.
