Wikipedia According To Conservapedia or Why I Am An Ex-Pat
For those of you who don't know Conservapedia: they call themselves the "trustworthy encyclopedia". This is what they say about Wikipedia:
"Wikipedia is a online encyclopedia written and edited by an ad hoc assemblage of anonymous persons who are mostly, according to the Register, teenagers and unemployed persons.
The project was initiated by two atheists: entrepreneur Jimmy Wales and philosophy professor Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001. An irony of internet history is that Jimmy Wales, despite being an atheist, refers to himself as Wikipedia's "spiritual leader". Despite its official "neutrality policy," Wikipedia has a strong liberal bias. In his article entitled Wikipedia lies, slander continue journalist Joseph Farah stated Wikipedia "is not only a provider of inaccuracy and bias. It is wholesale purveyor of lies and slander unlike any other the world has ever known." Mr. Farah has repeatedly been the victim of defamation at the Wikipedia website. Wikipedia has millions of entries on topics ranging from an explanation for "duh" to singles by obscure rock bands to arcane British nobility."
On their HomePage:
"Canada's socialist healthcare system is in chaos. The only way the U.S. can stop going down the disastrous road Canada has is to elect Republicans as the majority in 2010 and a Republican president in 2012."
Homepage Anti-Abortion message:
"Conservapedia has learned that huge waves of pro-life internet activity may be forming. These enormous pro-life waves could roll across the internet and sweep away the folly of pro-abortion websites!"
And my favourite, the Kangaroo:
"Consistent with their view that the fossil record as a whole does not support the evolutionary position, creationists state that there is a lack of transitional fossils showing an evolutionary origin of kangaroos. (...) According to the origins theory model used by young earth creation scientists, 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. (...) After the Flood, these kangaroos, bred from the Ark passengers, migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land with lower sea levels during the post-flood ice age, or before the super-continent of Pangea broke apart."
For all the conservative talk about how insane and out-of-control the left is...
