    Someone save me, I'm positively drowning in idiocy. Why? Why does this website have to exist? Why am I forcing myself to read this?

    Oh, that's right, I find it amusing and obnoxious at the same time, kind of like a youtube dubstep remix, except stupider.

    Some articles to note...

    Public schools in the United States - Conservapedia

    "Public schools in the United States have become predominantly liberal and atheistic government institutions that employ 3 million people and spend $411.5 billion annually at a cost of $10,770 per student. Liberals censor classroom prayer, the Ten Commandments, sharing of faith in classrooms during school hours, and teaching Bible-based morality. Mandatory homosexual indoctrination is common as early as elementary school in more liberal states. The failures of underperforming public schools are paradigm of socialism, along with landfills and the Canadian healthcare system."

    It seems as though America's public schools have something to do with the Candian healthcare system. To our neighbors to the North, have your healthcare officials and our public schools been conspiring against freedom?

    Essay:Best New Conservative Words - Conservapedia

    They just... they hijacked words with absolutely no political connotation and tacked them to Conservatism. I just... here are some of the "conservative words".

    Aerobics
    Alcoholism
    Apathetic
    Biological Clock
    Churchgoer

    Feminist Bible - Conservapedia

    This... I don't know. Apparently there's an evil, feminist Bible out there. Which, it's apparently it's feminist because it doesn't use the word "womb" enough times. I don't know, guys, I don't know.

    Liberal - Conservapedia

    "A liberal is someone who favors increased government spending, power, and control, as in ObamaCare, as well as censorship of Christianity. Increasingly, liberals side with the homosexual agenda, including supporting homosexual "marriage". Many liberals favor a welfare state where people receive endless entitlements without working. Liberals are often anti-Christian, or otherwise disagree with moral or social principles held by many American Christians. The liberal ideology has worsened over the years and degenerated into economically unsound views and intolerant ideology. Some liberals simply support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of conservative principles without having any meaningful values of their own."

    I don't even need to say anything about this. What is there to say?

    Homosexuality - Conservapedia

    Eh... they describe it as though it's a disease.This... this is just so stupid. Why does this website have to exist? OH, here's a nice quote:

    "There were publications in 1987 and 1989 by homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen which outlined a strategy to change America's perception of homosexuality and it included the following six strategies:

    Talk about homosexuals and homosexuality as loudly and often as possible. (Through sheer perseverance the opposition will be worn down).[295]
    Portray homosexuals as victims, not aggressive challengers..[296]
    Give homosexual protectors a “just” cause..[297]
    Make homosexuals look good..[298]
    Make the "victimizers" look bad..[299]
    Solicit funds. For example, get corporate America and major foundations to financially support the homosexual cause.[300]"

    ...

    What do you think? I at first thought they were trolling, but no, it's a real website. *shudders*

    Oh yes, i've been there before. I got lost in the dark spiral of human deterioration that is the super right-wing ideaology.

    But then I started laughing and it made it all better. LOL who actually believes this stuff? *sigh* I know the answer. Too many.

    Its a very sad website. It really boggles my mind how someone can read this and say "this makes sense" instead of "this is about the most absurd thing Ive read in my life. How do they even come up with this stuff?" A podcast I listen to does a regular reading from the site. Normally they might make some joke about it or put up some sort of critique with their stories, but with Conservapedia they don't need to, so they just quote it.

    "Talk about homosexuality as loud & often as you can."

    Sounds like a plan!

    I read the one on evolution. ROFL. Great comedy!

    But I'm not emotionally connected to evolution so it's not maddening. Oh god, I don't even want to know what they put for rape.

    Personally, I love reading stuff like this. I guess I'm just attracted to bullshit.

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by trolling

    Oh I know people believe such things. But when you create a web site and fill with everything from the far right wing, in an effort to rile up the right and the left, well that is just trolling.

    I believe Conservapedia to be on the same intellectual level as Encyclopaedia Dramatica....unfortunately some believe Conservapedia to be truth -_- At least Encyclopedia Dramatica has a possibility of being humorous.. C'est la vie I am afraid..

    I don't know what you guys are talking about, conservapedia is entertaining AND informative! Like here,

    Also, I learned from them that reparative therapy is part of the standards of care. You know, to cure us transgendered transsexuals of our advanced homosexuality.

    </sarcasm>

    Seriously WTF. Don't look up Reparative therapy - Conservapedia if you have high blood pressure.
