Can I sue these guys for defamation of character?  I generally refer to myself as "conservative," and I'd prefer not to be associated in any way with this lot.  Wow...

[blowfish]

And they call us conspiracy theorists

[karajorma]

Oh noes, I only stand a 54% chance of being allowed to marry a Conservapedia supporter.

That's a bit too high for comfort.

Worth pointing out that 27.2% of the same demographic said they wouldn't want their child marrying a black person.

[colecampbell666]

I'm kinda confused as to whether that site is a really huge and successful elaborate joke, or are they actually serious about it...

Either way it produces much lulz.

It was supposed to be an American Catholic's Wikipedia, I think.

Fixed.

And look at their alcohol article:
(I can't get it now, the site is down)

[MP-Ryan]

Their article on divorce, especially no-fault divorce, is hilarious.

Their article on the Gardisil vaccine not so much so.  Truly terrifying would be more apt.

The best part about these sorts of people is they point to Muslim fundamentalism as the force that is destroying Western society.  The irony is delicious.

[MP-Ryan]

I just found the ultimate article on this site:  http://www.conservapedia.com/Professor_values

It has everything:  "Professors' common value system typically includes atheism,[3] censorship, socialism, unjustified claims of expertise and knowledge (for example, the dogmatic promotion of the theory of evolution),[4] liberаl beliefs,[5] liberal grading, liberal bias,[6] anti-patriotism, lack of productivity, bullying or discouraging conservative students (for example, homeschoolers),[7][8] and promotion of sexual immorality."

Well ****, I guess that's it for university education folks.  Pack it in, back into Church with the lot of us.

EDIT:

And for those that haven't, read their commandments.  This one, in particular, is marvelous:

"When referencing dates based on the approximate birth of Jesus, give appropriate credit for the basis of the date (B.C. or A.D.). "BCE" and "CE" are unacceptable substitutes because they deny the historical basis. See CE."

*dies*

Alcohol is often an easy but false solution in case of sadness, desperation or depression. This easily leads to chronic alcoholism and self destruction. A much better solution in case of need is the Church, which doesn't judge but is always willing to help one to find joy and meaning in life.

[Jeff Vader]

Alcohol: the cause of and the solution to all of life's problems.

Their article on divorce, especially no-fault divorce, is hilarious.

It's something that's way too common in America's society these days. It causes an awful lot of pain for the children of the parents. Often the children rarely ever get to see/visit one of the parents. The parents usually say "Don't worry, we're still friends" though loads of talking goes on behind each other's backs. Leads to the parents dating other people because they "don't want to be alone", which may lead to a second marriage and a step-mom or step-dad who only seems to be there to give the children hell 24/7. Can cause depression.

Let me guess, the contributor has a step-parent.


The stuff on Hollywood Values is ****ing hilarious.

Hollywood personalities often propose legislation such as outlawing private gun ownership, or speak out against things such as anti-gun laws, but have at the same time acted in movies contrary to their public opinions:

    * Mark Wahlberg upon meeting Charlton Heston on the set of the remake of Planet of the Apes, Wahlberg rudely told Heston, "It was very disturbing meeting you." Later, Wahlberg would have this to say at the MTV Movie Awards: "I believe Charlton Heston is America's best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association." Wahlberg's character in Planet of the Apes uses a gun to defend himself and other humans from the apes who would rule over them.

Well call me a hypocrite but I too probably would change my position on gun ownership faced with an army of apes attempting to force mankind into slavery too.

*points and laughs at the section on evolution*

If you think that's a laugh, look at the section on Galileo Galilei! 

What's wrong with it? I skimmed trough it and it looks OK.

You mean besides the fact that they make it look like the church condemmed him because they misheard his views on heliocentrism and that the church "knew" that heliocentrism was the better of both theories despite then condemming him?

[NGTM-1R]

And I must say how amazing it is that this board is almost completely Liberal, or at least the conservatives hiding in fear.

Nah, see, we're actually conservative, those people are radical right wing. It's an important difference that far too few people actually understand.

Is anyone willing to compare something accurate from a good source with something inaccurate on Conservapedia?

[Nuclear1]

Read a Conservapedia article.

Read the Wikipedia article by the same name.

There you go.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

* Androgeos Exeunt has already compared the Wikipedia article on The Karate Kid with the Conservapedia's equivalent.

...Conservapedia is better off being one of Wikipedia's mirror sites, like what Answers.com is.

Is anyone willing to compare something accurate from a good source with something inaccurate on Conservapedia?

From Conservapedia:

Conservatism arose in the 19th century as a response to liberalism, particularly as manifested in the French Revolution.

From Conservapedia:

About every 20-60 years a conservative has been elected president of the United States. Examples include:

    * George Washington

From Conservapedia:

George Washington (February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799) was born to Augustin and Mary Washington[1] and was the unanimously elected 1st President of the United States of America and the Commander-in-Chief in the Revolutionary War.[2]

Funny how George Washington was affiliated with a political movement that wasn't formed until after his death.

That's one major factual inaccuracy...
