Conservapedia -- the more truthy wiki

A lot of people don't put their hands over their hearts while singing the national anthem. Tradition is to stand, remove one's hat, and face the flag.
That's what I was taught by my military father, then I got to school and they expected us to put our hands over our heart and I was confused.
This was of course before I just refused to do it anymore and left the room for the pledge.
Agreed, that was a brilliant response.
On a semi-related side-note...has lime evolved into gold?
The pledge is different from the anthem. Regardless it's a pretty moronic thing to get worked up over period.
I don't really care about Obama not putting his hand over his heart during the anthem or about anyone wearing a pin one way or the other. This is coming from a guy who has yelled at people for leaving a flag up at night in rainy weather, and got really pissed when a company was flying the American flag at half-mast and the Chinese flag above it.
Oh Conservapedia.
edit: It's telling that whereas Wikipedia is multinational and multilingual, this travesty dresses up in the American Flag and focuses on our politics.
Nice try, liberal, but you won't trick me! Everybody knows that if you read an article on homosexuality, there's a good chance you'll become homosexual yourself.
Sometimes I run out of things to read on my printed page The Onion so I go to this site. I get my chuckles the same.
it got changed back in like thirty seconds.
Young Earth Creationist view of origins
Creationary biologists believe that the horse baramin is one of the kinds taken by Noah aboard the Ark. Therefore all horse-like animals (including zebras and donkeys) are descended from the fourteen horses taken on board by Noah.[2]
So . . . they don't believe in evolution. But believe that zebras and donkeys evolved from Noah's horses.
They very well may have been:
I saw a news piece about this site at one point that discussed its founding and Wikipedia confirmed.
Well, a zebra is just a horse with some funny colorin's, right? Like, I heard that God was spray-paintin' a picket fence and a horse was standing right behind it and he got all striped-like and God liked it that way, an' that's the honest truth.
I think I may have just described the interwebs in general - but maybe Conservapedia is just a locus.
I'm going to go with zebras and donkeys just being a result of those 14 horses' rampant inbreeding. Which is a concept I'm sure conservapedia readers are comfortable with.
One time I added a sentence to the end of their page on Venus (the planet) saying that its hot and inhospitable surface conditions made it a likely candidate for the location of hell. It got deleted. But then, a few weeks later, the community reconsidered and put it back in.
It eventually got deleted again, but I still consider that a small victory.

I see they chose these dingleberries as the poster children for their article, though.
Glad we could get that pentagram in there.
Edit: stupid image link... work! and err.. spoilered for sorta large
Even the guidelines are fun to read.
There used to be some explicit rule on that page that everyone must use American spellings in preference to British ones at all times.
I wonder why it was removed?
Zebras are horses who have gone retarded.
I would go ahead and clean that up, but I would probably be accused of liberal bias.
Any Conservapedia article that isn't on a politically charged subject will either:
a) not exist, regardless of importance
b) get crazy fundie politics injected into it somehow, often to hilarious effect
c) exist as an incredibly poorly-written stub that completely pales in comparison to whatever the Wikipedia article on the subject contains.
This, in my mind, is the true punchline to Conservapedia.
My cat always used to totally flip out and kill everyone.
Well that's because they're totally cool and sweet.
Man, it only gets better. Then he goes into a hypothetical chase scene:
And then a list of special moves like the deadly combo scratch.
Wow, I just noticed on their rules--erm, commandments--page that "the senseless changing of American to British spellings may result in blocking."
Damn you liberal Brits with your insiduous use of "honour" and "colour"! DAMN YOOOOOU!
Come on. The conservative movement does not need to resort to flat out lying and censoring information unless it has no valid and thought out platforms.
The obvious conclusion being....
man, make no mistake: this guy represents "the conservative movement" about as much as Zack de la Rocha represents "the liberal movement"
Trying to educate people with this mindset is a wasted effort, and our goal should primarily be to protect the youth of America from such blasphemy.
