4. A major difference between Liberalism and Conservatism is how much each group is willing to have its pronouncements checked, its actions reviewed and evaluated

The LA Times praised our entries on the tuba.

Did it really prefer Conservapedias 88 word entry to Wikipedias 2,500 word entry?

When the Clintons left the White House, they were accused of taking furniture that belonged not to them, but to the White House.[19] Stealing is a violation of the ten commandments, regardless of the circumstances.

I can't think of Phyllis Shlafly without thinking of that Bloom County joke about her "new" organization (LAW - Ladies Against Women)

As Amazon.com said in a review of a book of Harry Hay's writings, he "is the acknowledged father…of the modern gay liberation movement." As a Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) organizer, he turned out "essays, position papers, critical studies, and manifestos concerning what it means to be gay in the world." [1]

I can't excerpt just one part of this: http://www.conservapedia.com/Socialism

The only reference cited for the entry on "social democracy": ↑ Road to Serfdom, Friedrich A. Hayek, Reader's Digest Condensed Version, April 1945, pg. 36.

I love the "FEMINISM" one.

Wait, is there actually truth to this?: In Britain, Catholics are discriminated [3] against by being barred from holding certain offices associated with the post of Prime Minister.

xpost Ooh, let me check that out.

Liberal conspiracy theorist Michael Moore apparently became so paranoid that he hid a master of his new movie "Sicko" outside of the country. "True that you hid a master of the movie?" Moore: "Yes. We, we took a master copy of the movie out of the country ...."

Nice editing.

...the United States has tended to reject socialism as an ideological position. In other parts of the world, such as Europe, Africa, Asia, and South and Central America, there has generally been more explicit support for socialism as a doctrine, and socialist parties have been among the most successful political forces of the last 100 years.

In other parts of the world, such as THE ENTIRE PLANET EXCEPT CANADA, THE FROZEN WASTELANDS OF ANTARCTICA, AND SOME LITTLE ISLANDS...

"Creationist scientists assert that evolutionists have had over 140 years to find a transitional fossil and nothing approaching a conclusive transitional form has ever been found and that only a handful of highly doubtful examples of transitional fossils exist."

Creationist scientists!

haha that is the article i went to first

I have to say the one above looked like a case of vandalism, rather than freaksih America-centric lack of self-awareness. I'm convinced it is vandalism now that I've found this entry:

There are so many drugs on the streets of Britain, "not even the dealers know them all". Popular drugs on the streets of London include "Triple-sods", "Yellow Bentines" and "Clarky Cat".

David Amess MP, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Basildon, warned against the dangers of an Eastern European drug called Cake, and went as far as to ask a question about it in Parliament. The drug affects an area of the brain called "Shatner's Bassoon" and is frequently referred to as "a made-up drug" (a drug not made from plants but made up from chemicals).

hahahah Shatner's Bassoon!!! omg

"Shatner's Bassoon" !!!!

I love it.

I love this:
To this day politicians avoid growing beards due to how that alienates voters reminded of the hippies, whom many voters would never support.

i haven't bothered finishing it...i liked how they deftly ignored (at the point i stopped reading) molecular evidence for evolution. also: pretty sure the reason fossil evidence is scanty is because, you know the earth has done and been through quite a lot over the last few hundred million years, so actually finding ANY fossils seems like a treat

These people are terrifying:

Homosexuality constitutes a parasitic relationship with society. Homosexuals consume resources while performing none of the necessary obligations of an organism within a species (i.e. - reproduction). Homosexuality's existence is a threat to the continued existnce of the human race, and must be dealt with appropriately.

(obviously I'm not saying homosexuals are terrifying)

"dealt with appropriately?"

*shudder*

yeah, y'know, turned into something useful for society like soap or lampshades

Many of the entries are taken from a homeschooler encyclopedia cdrom.

I actually read a thing in a Chilean local paper's website about a Chupacabra being loose a few weeks ago. It's just used to mean a random beast or disease that is killing local goats though. But still quite quaint usage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia

just checking that you mericans knows that that stuff in http://www.conservapedia.com/Drugs that "Nasty, Brutish & Short" quotes (shatner's bassoon et al) is from Brass Eye http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_Eye on drugs

Yeah, that one sounded pretty familiar.

Yeah the cake thing rang a bell.

I was just going to post the Brass Eye info, except I seemed to have left this page open on my browser for about 20 minutes without replying, and so 'tis not even truly an xpost.

there have been 2-year xposts on ILX before

I remember that!

Still boggling at the 5-second excelsior tho.

I haven't gone there, but this all looks like "Onion" style 'satire' or is that stating the bleedin obv?

I am creating a conservapedia account with a new gmail address simply so I can provide a citation to tha Hansard where David Ames asks the question. here btw

Just read the Wiki.. guess not.

Disco was a flamboyant style of gay dance music in the 70s. Disco parties were noted for their outrageous clothes, drug use, and flashing lights.

Disco music was generally made by studio engineers using session musicians, and was pressed onto 12-inch singles, an innovation which allowed for high-fidelity recorded music over a large sound system. The name derives from the French word "Discotheque", a place for playing records.

TOO GAY FOR AMERICA

https://www.conservapedia.com/Michel_Foucault

Regarded as a left-wing icon and a "gay" icon, Foucault can be best classified as a sociopath rather than a socialist, insofar as there is any consistency in his ideas. There is no other explanation for his eccentric insistence on the similarity between such disparate institutions as schools, hospitals, factories, prisons and barracks. It is notable that while he insisted on their resemblance, he himself chose to live in universities, not in a prison, factory or barracks.

such disparate institutions they are, yes

E=MC2 is liberal claptrap. Conservatives know that the sun burns because god tells it to. In fact, that's how everything happens everywhere always. God is a very busy deity, kind of like an eternal housekeeper, sweeping, dusting, washing windows, watching sparrows fall, and counting hairs on your head. Forever.

I can’t remember if it was here or somewhere else that the reason Andy doesn’t like the Theory of Relativity is because he literally thinks it has to do with relativism, which is evil.

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that describes fundamental subatomic behavior.[1]

The basic principle of quantum mechanics is that there is an uncertainty in the location of a subatomic particle until it is observed. This explains why the Second Law of Thermodynamics is always true, and why everyone declines with old age. Quantum mechanics explains the discrete nature of small-scale interactions, wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement. Quantum mechanics forms the basis for our understanding of many phenomena, including chemical reactions and radioactive decay, and is used by all computers and electronic devices today. No other theory explains all this.

The order created by God is on a foundation of uncertainty. The Book of Genesis explains that the world was an abyss of chaos at the moment of creation. Quantum mechanics is predicted in several additional respects by the Biblical scientific foreknowledge.

Several parables in the Bible foreshadow the insight of quantum entanglement about paired photons having opposite spin, by contrasting two men in their relationship with God. The Prodigal Son contrasts two brothers, two churchgoers are contrasted in Luke 18:9–14, and two brothers are further contrasted in Luke 21:28-31.

The term "quantum mechanics" comes from the idea that energy is transmitted in discrete quanta, and not continuous. Another historical name for "quantum mechanics" was "wave mechanics."

Conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy or Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE), consists of counseling or treatment to change someone's sexual attraction from homosexuality to heterosexuality. The Bible can be a powerful basis for the therapy. Perhaps because of its effectiveness, homosexual activists have sought laws prohibiting conversion therapy in many states, and liberal California, Oregon, New Jersey, Illinois and the District of Columbia have banned this therapy for minors. But on February 24, 2015, an Oklahoma House committee passed a bill to protect the right to conversion therapy, and the therapy remains fully lawful in the vast majority of the United States. Liberal Dem Governor Andrew Cuomo has tried to ban it for minors by issuing an unusual executive order in New York.[1]

The successful approaches can range from a change in someone's activities, such as sports, to an elimination of the animosity that someone might be harboring, such as anger towards his father. Conversion to Christianity and regular attendance at church can help; Paul referenced converts from homosexuality to Christianity in the New Testament. Aversion therapy, by which someone is averted from an unwanted activity or attraction by associating it with something mildly unpleasant, is an additional approach.

Sports activities correlated with very low rates of homosexuality are baseball, football, basketball, boxing, martial arts and wrestling.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born October 13, 1989[1]), often referred to by her initials AOC, is a progressive Democrat, Soros mercenary and outspoken advocate of the murderous ideology of Socialism. She is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus noted for her use of Marxist clichés and statements about "token blacks."[2] She has been condemned by the United States Holocaust Museum for mocking the deaths of Nazi holocaust victims.[3][4]

At 29 years old and the youngest female ever elected to Congress, and has built a national Twitter following using Godwin's Law. Ocasio-Cortez personifies the failures of the American publicly funded education system and is a serious embarrassment to any sensible person under the age of 30.[5]

A Catholic, she has been praised by America, The Jesuit Review.[6] As of March 7, 2019, Ocasio-Cortez has 3.4 million Twitter followers. Ocasio-Cortez had four ethics complaints filed against her in the first six weeks after taking office. The Gallup Poll gives her a net 10 point negative favorability rating which may be impossible to ever overcome. With the 2020 Census, New York is likely to lose one seat due to the outflow of population from an inhospitable tax environment; Ocasio-Cortez is on the chopping block of the Democratically controlled legislature.[7]

That Conservapedia passage (and, well, Conservapedia) was actually a pretty convincing argument against evolution but not in the way they intended.

the aoc page is fuckin' doozy

Ocasio-Cortez is a cultural Marxist reared to believe the dialectical materialist view that capitalism is a transitory phase to socialism in which the planet will be ruled by an enlightened elite of anti-democratic technocrats, should it survive a climate crisis. She believes the Marxist notion that capitalism is an ideology, and not a simple paradigm of fundamental economic laws. A descendant of white Europeans during the Spanish Conquest (La Conquista) of the Western Hemisphere who imposed colonial rule and cultural hegemony over Native Americans and trafiicked in the African slave trade, Ocasio-Cortez now thinks she is an oppressed woman of color.

Who are you going to counter-quote, Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is an online wiki-based encyclopedia hosted and owned by the non-profit organization Wikimedia Foundation and financially supported by grants from left-leaning foundations plus an aggressive annual online fundraising drive.[1] Most of Wikipedia's articles can be edited publicly by both registered and anonymous editors,[2] mostly consisting of teenagers and the unemployed.[3] As such, it tends to project a liberal—and, in some cases, even socialist, Communist, and Nazi-sympathising—worldview, which is totally at odds with conservative reality and rationality.

Reality is variously defined as the totality of everything that exists, or as an aspect of a thing which exists independent of anyone's awareness or perception of that aspect. Reality is independent of the human mind, i.e. reality would continue to be the case whether or not anyone believed it, or indeed whether or not there were any human minds to believe it in the first place.

"That which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." -- Philip K. Dick
"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."[1] -- Ayn Rand

philip k dick and ayn rand, the only two authorities i trust on the subject of reality

The entries on each candidate... I have no words.

The "Antifa" (short for "Anti-fascist action"), also known as the ARA (short for "Anti-Racist Action") is the militant arm of the Cultural Marxist movement causing violence and mayhem in the streets of America and Europe. Despite its name, the Antifa movement is an intolerant hate group that uses fascist tactics and direct quotations from Adolf Hitler.[1][2] It has also been described as a domestic terrorist group.[3] They are also anti-American in outlook, as when descending on an otherwise peaceful protest on Berkeley Campus in 2017, one chant demanded "No U.S.A. at all!"[4]

Although Antifa has been promoted by CNN as the elite Trump resistance movement since 2017,[5][6][7] the concept of anti-fascism, especially as a far-left ideology, existed as early as World War II for propaganda purposes, where Stalin referred to the USSR as "anti-fascist", with the obvious implication that the USSR and Stalin were "morally better" than the Nazis and Hitler, using the misapplication of Nazism and fascism as being of the far right instead of being of the far left.[4]

In the United States, Antifa is an effort the counter the rollback of socialist "progress" during the Obama administration. Socialists consider all forms of capitalism as "fascist," and the repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate was a devastating blow to "socialist progress."

some grade-a word salad there

Harris has been too self-absorbed with ambition and career to settle down with children and form long term relationships. According to The New Yorker, between her break-up with Willie Brown in the mid-1990s and her first marriage at the age of 50, three years before she began fundraising, she had no heterosexual relationships with men.[74]

yeesh

Any word on whether she perhaps had homosexual relationships with men?

Most modern feminists:

• want to remove significant distinctions between how men and women dress, such as preferring that women wear pantsuits rather than dresses,[9][10] even though many feminists also want women to dress immodestly. In some cases, most infamously during the Miss America protests in 1968, feminists have even gone as far as to indicate that female products such as makeup, bras, and heels were "instruments of oppression."
• do not want gender equality; they want power for the female Left.[11]
• in movies and television, portray the men, in particular, the white heterosexual men, as inherently evil, dumb or incompetent, and the women, in particular those that adhere to the feminist agenda, as inherently good, smart or competent (note that this conflicts with gender equality).
• on that note, some movies and television programs, in addition to depicting men as inherently evil, dumb, or incompetent, can sometimes depict women who adhere to more traditional femininity, including promoting traditional family values and traditional marriage (see below), as well as expressing more traditional gender roles and natures, in an extremely demeaning manner, usually implying that they are at best brainless bimbos and at worst gold-diggers (women who only marry someone for their wealth), often with the implication that traditional femininity is considered inherently bad (which goes against the concept of women having free choices regarding how to pursue their life).
• conveniently pretend that there are no meaningful differences between men and women when that advances liberal causes (e.g., women and men equally in military combat, to weaken the U.S. military), but reject equality when that results in more money to women (e.g., VAWA funding of women's groups).
• oppose chivalry and even feign insult at harmless displays of it (see battle between the sexes).
• view traditional marriage as unacceptably "patriarchal".
• belittle and mock other women who desire to have children or raise a family[12][13]
• shirk traditional gender activities, like baking.[14]
• support affirmative action for women.
• advocate for women in combat in the military just like men, and coed submarines.
• refuse to take her husband's last name when marrying.[15]
• believe marriage implies "female servitude" when it is in fact a mutual bond.
• distort historical focus onto female figures, often overshadowing important events (E.g.: Henry VIII's wives take precedence in common knowledge to his actual reign.)
• often condemn the God-given order of gender roles, as laid out in the Holy Bible.
• object to being addressed as "ma'am," or feminine nicknames such as "sweetheart" or "honey";[16] object to -* -* other female-only names, such as "temptress".
• take offense at grammatical rules of the English language, like using the pronoun "he" when referring to a hypothetical/anonymous person, or phrases like 'fireman' and 'stewardess.'
• support the homosexual agenda.
• push propaganda that implies that women weren't allowed to be granted an education until the 1960s, and all education beforehand was granted solely to "rich white males."[17]
• demands that women choose a career over raising children without any remorse.
• criticize music such as heavy metal, rock and roll, and country for being "sexist".
• object to anyone describing Northern and Western European women being demure or Southern and Eastern European women as seductive.
• Denounce and demean any women who have more feminine traits and embrace their femininity.

criticize music such as heavy metal, rock and roll, and country for being "sexist".

Love this part.

traditional gender activities, like faking

Just curious, is there a way to tweak the Conservapedia code such that anyone who contributes is rendered immediately infertile? I'm not sure if they implemented that functionality in HTML5 or not but it seems like there should still be a way.

Sounds like the opinion of someone who's in favour of coed submarines.

I didn't want to even quote the one for Booker. xps

object to anyone describing Northern and Western European women being demure or Southern and Eastern European women as seductive.

What is there to object to?

The War on Sovereignty is a term used to describe the push by liberals, globalists, and Marxists[1] to undermine and eventually do away with national sovereignty, autonomy, self-governance, and national identity, replacing it with a "global community" or "consensus" and a one-world government. They have several methods to advance this agenda, including mass migration, so-called "free" trade agreements, and international organizations.

Due to rebellion against God,[2] naive belief in the Idea of Progress, and support for big government policies, the globalist establishment of liberal elites seeks to gradually but steadily do away with sovereignty and merge the world into a single unified political organization. In the process, they and the organizations they affiliate with either attack the notion of sovereignty or redefine it for their own purposes.

Contrary to the claims of some naive or ill-intentioned critics, the War on Sovereignty is not some "conspiracy theory" that its promoters are malevolently plotting in secret as a short-term project. In reality, liberals and globalists see it as a benign and long-term goal openly grounded upon one of the basic philosophical views accepted in contemporary mainstream society.
