Conservapedia

I hadn’t heard about it until today, but apparently a group of conservatives grew tired with Wikipedia’s “liberal, anti-Christian, and anti-American bias” and so decided to create “Conservapedia.” It’s a pretty humorous read. All edits must be “true and verifiable,” by which they mean “modern kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah’s Ark prior to the Great Flood” is acceptable while evidence against an abortion/breast cancer link is not. Anyways, as Cup of Joe Powell notes, it is interesting to see what conservatives are most interested in reading about these days. The most read pages according to Conservapedia’s site statistics:

   Oh yeah, Conservapaedia has been around for a while. Look up what they have to say about gays you will be mightily amused.

   I never understood this knee-jerk instinct of conservatives and conservative Christians to “ghettoize” themselves at the first sign that their beliefs are threatened with a ray of reality. You have to know your worldview is on shaky ground if you have to create your own online atlas to back your views up. And the easiest way to marginizalize yourself is to ghettoize yourself.

   It doesn’t make sense, but then nothing this crowd does ever has.

   Just remember that a lot of the articles over there are spoofs. When they first got started, a lot of commenters from ScienceBlogs went over there to invent/insert dumb stuff into the Conservapedia ’science’ articles in order to make fun of them, and so, I believe, did commenters at some of the bigger gay blogs. And I don’t believe that the Conservapedia folks have ever been able to weed all of it out….
