From their front page-conservapedia front page news posted:U.S. Supreme Court to Obama: you did raise taxes, and it's called ObamaCare. I love how that headline manages to make it sound like SCOTUS was saying "bad on you, Barack Hussein Obama! We love the Tea Party! Taxes bad!!!!"

Yehudis Basya posted:From their front page- Yeah, I'm still puzzled about how they construe SCOTUS saying, "The individual mandate is constitutional because it falls under the rubric of the federal government's power to levy taxes" as "Obama is a loving liar who raised our taxes!!!!" They're either incredibly stupid or lying (are both simultaneously possible?) about what's going here, especially the part where you are exempt from the "tax" if you have some kind of acceptable healthcare coverage.

The whole "it's a tax!" thing is one of the most hilarious self-deceptions I've ever seen. Literally nothing about it changed and they're acting like it's some big revelation because it now fits into one of the line items on their BAD THINGS list.

Reading through the article shows it to be neutrally written without the conservative cheerleading. It's also incomplete, it's like a lazy Trekie wondered in and said screw it half way through and left.

Apparently Super Mario Galaxy hates religion? from http://liberapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Ridiculous_quotes_from_Conservapedia "Minor controversy erupted due to the game's portrayal of religious people as mindless enemies (goombas). Though it has been criticized, there is no evidence this has slowed down sales of the game. Retrieved from conservapedia.com/Super_Mario_Galaxy" The conservapedia page no longer exists though. So S.M.G is not worthy of a page, but trek aliens are cool?

It is very strange that Pat Tillman is on their list of heroes. I didn't think Conservapedia would be one to acknowledge an atheist as an American hero. I thought all the atheists were fat rapist cowards. Oh, whaddya know, apparently Conservapedia refuses to believe he was an atheist at all.

I thought all the atheists were fat rapist cowards. Here is a man loyal to his country, to his fellow soldiers, out of personal hate of the war, Smith argued Pat thought seriously about abandoning them. Include in this fact that Pat signed up for military service with his brother. He would leave his brother behind? Pat had married right before he volunteered. His wife spoke of a man that did not have an ego. Pat had accumulated award after award, trophy after trophy playing college ball. His wife would say the only thing on Pat's mantle was a hand drawn U.S. flag. This is somebody who would turn against his country? How many atheist do you know would sacrifice their life for their country? For others? Selfless is not an atheist quality. This is conservapedias arguement. Atheists are incapable of selfless service!

I've been amused by the essay category: http://www.conservapedia.com/Category:Essays It's mostly Conservative and his endless, endless rehashes of the same material, but there are a few gems in here: Essay:_Homosexual_bait_and_switch GeorgeE posted:Homosexual bait and switch is a technique used by covert homosexuals in order to convert heterosexuals to homosexuality, or at least, question their heterosexuality. Covert homosexuals will heavily alter their personal appearance in order to disguise their gender. These covert homosexuals will enter "meaningful" relationships with heterosexuals of the same sex without ever disclosing their own true gender. These homosexuals do a convincing job by utilizing deceit and powerful mind-control techniques. Only when the victim thinks they are in love does the covert homosexual reveal their true identity. At this point, the victim is too emotionally attached to the homosexual to leave them, giving the homosexual the upper-hand. Coercion into a counterfeit same-sex marriage is not uncommon. Even victims that somehow escape a homosexual's grasp usually go through withdrawal which causes some to suffer a homosexual relapse. ... oh my. I can't help but try to imagine the individual date(s) that lead the author to write this essay.

From that talkpage:quote:http://www.articlestree.com/dating/men-disguised-as-women-tx529797.html "This is a real issue, people, we've got to- why are you all laughing?" or "I DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD A DICK! I SWEAR I'M NOT GAY! SHE WAS JUST HELPING ME WITH MY LUGGAGE!" We need a political version, with Andy's world view: quote:Liberal bait and switch is a technique used by covert liberals in order to convert conservatives to liberalism, or at least, question their conservativism. Covert liberals will heavily alter their personal appearance in order to disguise their political affiliation. These covert liberals will enter "meaningful" relationships with conservatives of the opposing political views without ever disclosing their own true affiliation. These liberals do a convincing job by utilizing deceit and powerful mind-control techniques. Only when the victim thinks they are in love does the covert liberal reveal their true identity. At this point, the victim is too emotionally attached to the liberal to leave them, giving the liberal the upper-hand. Coercion into a counterfeit same political party is not uncommon. Even victims that somehow escape a liberal's grasp usually go through withdrawal which causes some to suffer a liberal relapse.

It's also a fairly common (conservative) belief that trans women are just gay guys who are even more confused than regular gays. Or less confused, to the "gays are just men who wanna be ladies" mindset. Trans lesbians don't exist, naturally. Don't be silly.

The talk page for the Conservative Bible Project has some good stuff in it. It's basically full of people telling Shlafly that it's a dumb idea and he's in no way qualified to translate the Bible. Even the batshit crazy Conservative makes some reasonable points, though in his usual retarded way he repeats every one of his arguments a million times. Still, compared to some of the inane poo poo Shlafly says on that page, Conservative manages to almost looks like a normal, well-adjusted person. I mean just look at this: quote:"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." What is wrong with this? As a believer in Biblical inerrancy I do not see why you would change the Bible to meet with "conservative thought patterns". What is the reason for removing this? --LK 16:43, 17 November 2010 (EST)

Crazy Uncle Andy posted:What are the liberal overtones? First, note how often the media, movies, books and liberals love to quote that passage rather than other passages given far greater emphasis. So liberals can give any bible passage a "liberal overtone" by just quoting it enough times? Sweet. Let's all quote Leviticus 18:22 until conservatives decide to abandon that verse as well.

Someone quotes the Conservative Bible Project's translation of John 3:16Schlafly's bible posted:For God so loved the [people in the] world that He gave His Unique Son, so that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. They complain that the "[people in the]" bit is clunky. Andy's reply? Andy Schlafly posted:I'd like a response to the issue of how the phrase "so loved the world" now has an environmentalist spin in English. That does make me wonder why they didn't go a little further with the translation: "For God so loved the [Conservatives in the] world..."

Every time I see one of Conservative's crazy rants about "machismo" or manliness, I just think of the line "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" from "Hamlet."

I wish my father was still alive, I could show him the kind of crazies that would get lumped in with his personal philosophy of Conservatism. I wonder if he was really the kind of narrow minded jerk who would eat up the rhetoric or see it for what it was, a jerk-off playpen. I'd like to give him credit he'd know better, but then again he did really love to bang the 'I Don't Like Gays' drum, and for some reason your average male just loves to jump into that circle.

I wonder if its a reaction of the competitiveness inherent in being a male. Like how there's a sizing up and compare/contrast session upon first contact, but you can't really compete with a gay guy in "cocks lovingly sucked" so your brain has a default exception and turns to revulsion or hatred.

The worst thing you can be in a patriarchal society is a woman, and as strongly (and savagely!) as the gender binary is beaten into people as kids, anything that blurs that line is going to meet horrible reaction.

This, plus the idea of men gazing at men is horrifying to most straight dudes. The way our patriarchal society constructs masculinity necessitates that the male gaze, and in particular the male sexual gaze, objectify what it sees. Sadly the default reaction for most straight dudes is "poo poo, I can't let those queers objectify me!" rather than "hmm, maybe objectifying people is bad."

I was talking to a guy at work and he was saying how he doesn't care about gay marriage, "let them be as miserable as the rest of us". Cool reaction, I thought, until he continued: it's unnatural. If "they" had their way, everybody on earth would be gay. That's what they are trying to do, convert everyone. And then humanity would stop, because who would have the babies?
