Even though every other page on this site blasts liberals for smoking too much weed, the actual marijuana page isn't very damning at all. http://conservapedia.com/Marijuana I have no idea what their definition of "liberal" or "conservative" is, it's so inconsistent.

Every once in a while I'll check the front page just to see their take on whatever big news story of the week. When Bin Laden as killed they were posting conspiracy theories about it.

Conservatives believe in magic and are scared of witches.

Have you guys seen their article on the Confederate States of America?

It's surprisingly balanced and doesn't try to avoid the slave issue.

Conservapedia posted:

The main reason for secession was to preserve slavery--but all the slaves were emancipated with no compensation to the owners.

Conservapedia posted:

Reparations are payments required of the nations who have lost a war to the nations who won, for damages caused by the nations who lost. Large reparations have sometimes caused extensive economic damage to the countries that have to pay them: for example, after the First World War the Treaty of Versailles obliged Germany to pay enormous reparations to France and the other allied nations. This compounded the already heavy costs associated with the war itself and thereby contributed significantly to the rampant inflation that afflicted the country during the 1920s and 1930s.

The term reparations is also used in suggesting that the United States government reimburse descendants of slaves.

It would make more sense to me to create a separate server that handles edits, that blocks IP ranges trying to edit pages, so they discourage vandalism while still allowing regular people to read the site.

This is like a conservative helldump.

I mentioned this before, but it continues to boggle me that they demonize hippies so much. When was the last time anyone ever cared about hippies?

How does that work? Can anyone do that? Sounds kind of fraud-y.

Premise: Given that public schools educate about 90% of Americans, it is astounding how few prominent Americans attended public school after the banning of school prayer in 1962.

Required Evidence: List of all prominent americans and whether they went to public school.

Given Evidence: Short list of prominent people they hate and disagree with that attended public school after 1962 and a short list of people who attended pre-1962 that has nothing to do with anything.


what a horribly thought out argument

Of note here is that Rand had every right to take part in these programs, but she was a loving hypocrite for doing so after railing against them and the other people who take part in them so viciously. Her philosophy is a cancer on this world and her writing is just loving awful.

Yes, I know it's true. The absurdity is arguing that he's a liberal on that basis, when his one and only current cause is one espoused principally by the right, not the left.

Mind you, I don't think I'd call him a conservative, either. Mental illness isn't really political.

I think being a religious wacko is something that you're born with or acquired at a very early age - I've known people who have shuffled through different religions, only becoming more fundamentalist at each turn. What is common is that their childhood homes were very religious as well. Whether it's in genes or upraising, I don't know.

However, claiming that someone is born to be a Christian is BS. They might as well turn into Islam or Buddhism or Scientology and be just as crazy.

I'm predicting a lot of accusations that the left is "happy" that it was a right-wing christian.

Genesis 1:6-8 posted:

And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

Nah, they're in favour of executing minors.


So you see, if you prevent States from executing minors then police are forced to find adults they can wrongly convict and execute instead. As you can see the moral decision is to allow children to be put to death.
