Conservapedia - An encyclopedia you can trust

:-0

Mark Sanchez — the New York Jets quarterback is being touted as the team's best QB over conservative Christian Tim Tebow despite falling apart at the end of the 2011–12 season. Now that Tebow's on-board, liberals are championing the former USC star as the superior player despite his recently poor play.

oh c'mon everyone in america wants tebow to start for the jets

tim tebow is also on the list tho

Ronaldinho - looked like a wonderful player in early years, but quickly became overweight due to his 'partying' lifestyle. Fired from minor Brazilian team, he declared he's finally "just going to party"

They seem to have confused Ronaldinho with Ronaldo...

Cristiano Ronaldo his spectacular talents have been ruined by his self-obsession, vanity and cravings of celebrity. He is now officially "sad"

So, Cristiano, where did it all go wrong?

Wayne Rooney - Burst onto the scene as a 16 year old and called "The English Pele".

I'm sad we've all been getting his name wrong.

He's English, completely English.

deep satire

The Republican Party or informally the GOP (short for Grand Old Party), is one of the two major political parties in the United States. The Republican Party is pro-life , while the Democratic Party is pro-abortion.

Pretty shocked that doesn't say "the Democrat Party" tbh.

In the News. what the MSM isn't fully covering.
The demographics haven't changed, it's the ignoramuses on the left showing off: [4]

Obama weeps -- for himself, and then has the private video specially released to the public afterward to puff his image. Talking about his own past as a "community organizer," Obama sheds a tear as he builds to his self-centered point: "I became a man during that process." [5]

A Tea Party activist asks several disturbing questions about the 2012 Presidential Election. He lists six possible reasons why Obama won. Some are truly chilling. [6]

ABC’s Catalyst program reports Kimberley dinosaur footprints. There were huge dinosaurs fleeing the rising waters of Noah’s Flood in Australia.[28] Dinosaurs and man coexisted.[29]

Creationist viewer of the program said: "I have to admit I just thought of dinos running from flood waters when I saw it."

Conservapedia proven right, again: the Los Angeles Lakers stink with their two Overrated Sports Stars, and they again eschew a meritocracy by passing over the best coach to hire someone else. [5]

funny sort of knowledge authority that feels the need to say 'WE GOT SOMETHING RIGHT' in the middle of articles

"conservapedia proven right" is itself an article

Obama article too big for editors to keep up on everything, lol

2011, Birth Certificate Released
Main Article: Barack_Obama_Controversies#Birth_Certificate
On April 27, 2011[181], a long-running controversy surrounding Obama's birth was largely put to rest[182] when Obama had his long-form birth certificate posted at WhiteHouse.gov.[183] Donald Trump, who had attacked Obama on the Birth Certificate issue and was then leading Republicans in polls for the upcoming GOP primary[184], was effectively knocked out of the race because of this.[185]
The following is a timeline of previous events leading up to the release:
In June 2008 the Obama campaign allowed FactCheck.org to look at his “Certificate of Live Birth” and take photos.[186]
In July 2008 a blogger discovered a birth announcement from the Honolulu Advertiser from August 13, 1961 for Barack Obama. It has since been discovered another newspaper, the Star Bulletin, also documented the birth.[187]
PolitiFact went to extreme lengths to verify Obama’s citizenship, attaining scanned copies of his 1992 marriage certificate from Cook County, IL, his driver’s license record, and his registration and disciplinary record. PolitiFact also addressed a number of concerns about the documentation.[188]
In October 2008 Hawaii’s Department of Health released a statement by Dr. Chiyome Fu.kino verifying that Obama’s birth certificate was on record.[189]
In August 2009 it was revealed that an alleged Kenyan birth certificate for Obama was a hoax.[190] Another website allows you to create your own imitation Kenyan birth certificates online.[191]
Regardless of the consistent proof of such a birth certificate existing, deluded paranoid right wing morons refuse to except this fact.

ok clicking through some links I arrived at this page:

http://conservapedia.com/Biblical_Scientific_Foreknowledge

probably the best page I've read on conservapedia so far

I mean stuff like:

Georg Cantor's development of set theory in the late 19th century was initially rejected by many great mathematicians, including Henri Poincare, before it became the basis for nearly all of mathematics today. But the Bible contains many hints in support of set theory, as in the "last shall be first, and the first shall be last."

for the times, they are a changing...

ironically.

Crime

Mark 4:22 says how nothing can be hid, neither can anything be kept secret. Empirical statistics show that the vast majority of crimes worldwide are solved.

Well. That settles it, then.

Giant sea creatures and Jonah

The Book of Jonah describes his survival in the belly of a giant sea creature for 2.5 to 3 days. Scientists declared this to be impossible due to powerful stomach acids that quickly break down any material and the lack of breathable air inside marine animals.
In 2010, scientists found the following materials intact in the belly of a gray whale that had died after being stranded on a Northwest beach:[35]
a pair of sweat pants
a golf ball
over 20 plastic bags
small towels
duct tape
surgical gloves
Of course, many sea creatures have gone extinct in the thousands of years since Jonah lived.

A perfect proof!

Only in moderns times have scientists become aware of enormous underwater springs feeding into the oceans, and the very deep valleys at the bottom of the oceans.

But the Bible repeatedly describes this thousands of years earlier: "on that very day the deep subcrustal springs were broken open, and the windows of the sky were thrown open." (Genesis 7:11 (CBP)

The CBP referred to there presumably is the Conservative Bible Project, which aims to 'render God's word into modern English without liberal translation distortions.' So they're relying on a distorted version of the bible, written with the benefit of hundreds of years of science, in order to prove that the bible contains 'comprehension of scientific knowledge far ahead of its time'?

My brain hurts :(

A favorite evolutionist canard is that Leviticus 11:13-19 labels the bat, a mammal, as a bird. But this is an obvious failure of translation, as the Hebrew term 'owph did not entail the "clade" of birds, but was a non-biological category referring to any winged creature, mammalian, avian, or insect. The KJV translation as "fowl" is simply incorrect.

They're acknowledging the King James bible contains inaccuracies in translation? But don't they also believe it's 100% the word of God?

That jumped out at me too, but I wasn't sure enough about the particular quirks of conservapedia dude to point it out...

Who among us can keep track of the quirks of Convservapedia dude?

Hmmm I wonder if there are any differences between those things and the things they didn't find, e.g., food?

So disappointed that link didn't work :(

This is a pretty revealing entry in itself: http://conservapedia.com/Conservatism

They really seem to believe that the entire concept of conservatism was invented in the US and is defined entirely by Republican priorities of the last 30 years. Contrast this with even Wikipedia.

So much lol in that entry I don't even know where to begin. This is a pretty good place to start, though:

Kinda feel we should poll these.

This isn't theology driving the site, its pathology.

Does the existence of a particle or molecule of a certain type mean the quality in question is present, or absent? So many questions. I'm assuming ThePeoplesCube.com is Timecube for the Tea Party generation.

I guess it's both present and absent at the same time? Like some kind of mental Schrodinger's cat.

I had a quick look at thepeoplescube.com. It's yet more evidence that right-wingers apparently don't understand how humour works.

This is how conservatives understand math:

from thepeoplescube.com

This is basically how conservatives understand logic as well. Nothing funnier than watching conservatives shout out the names of logical fallacies (frequently misapplying the terms) like they were exorcising demons or casting spells.

the conservative bible project is so offensive and horrible it's almost impossible to have a sense of humor about it

True. It's literally blasphemous. It's so comprehensively wrong-headed that it's hard to believe it's real. I guess I'd like to believe it's an epic troll and that they can't possibly be serious.

If someone is really devout, I can sort of understand how they could believe that e.g. the Bible predicts all kinds of scientific discoveries (even if the rationalizations given are pretty weak) but just... I looked up words like "conservative" and "socialism" in a dictionary when I was 10-11 and came across them in a newspaper. Do these people not have access to dictionaries? Or do they think that non-Conservapedia reference sources have a liberal bias?

Pretty much. We're past the realm of ideology way into pathology here.

humans - the apes taht can do math

In the late 20th century conservatives found new ways to use language and the media to support their goals and to shape the vocabulary of political discourse.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States#Semantics.2C_language.2C_and_media

the KJV - a well known liberal plot to get Christians into appreciating lyrical and poetic turns of phrase.

The whole concept of the Conservabible makes me want to do my own translation that uses only crisp, technocratic babble whenever possible just to demonstrate how ridic translations put into "modern laguange" are in general. But I'm way too lazy for that kind of thing... I mean, the Bible is a big book!

Jesus reciprocated: ”Have the greatest possible affection for the Lord your God with all your main circulatory-system organ and with all your incorporeal non-observable attributes and with all your psychological framework, worldview and cognitive processes.’ This is the primary and most pronounced commandment. And the penultimate is similar in a like-wise manner: ‘Love the cohabitants of your locality as your own individuality.’
