I like how the obama article is a long criticism of everything he's ever done or didn't do. The george bush article is much shorter and to the point. And clinton's is wow, that man did nothing but free terrorists and missles and impeachment. Nixon is cast in a much better light.
The democratic party page has a 'see also' linking to phonemarking for no apparent reason. I could do this all day.
Their article on Islam is actually not bad (for Conservapedia). I'm shocked, I was sure it would be more like, "Muslims are filthy, murderous pigs and we should nuke them all."
Schlafly's edits on the Lief Erikson page are hilarious. He tries to state that there is no evidence that the Vikings landed here in Newfoundland, citing that only two small artifacts were found. Apparently he is unaware of the facts that they actually excavated eight buildings here... the guy is an absolute loon.
Seriously, why would you dispute whether Erikson was the first to come to North America... does it somehow invalidate conservative doctrine?

it has little ot do with conservative doctrine but everything to do with reinforcing a belief system based on breathtaking myopia, paranoia and total ignorance to reality.

I still don't get how Columbus can be described as discovering a land which was populated. You can easily fix the obvious issues with logic, but no we have to be obstinate and pretend that what was taught in 4th grade is and always will be right in our 9 planet solar system.
First to edit the penny arcade entry on conservapedia to add "Penny Arcade forums is a well known place where liberal communists convene to plot the downfall of America." gets a cookie.

4th grade sounds about the level of education most of Conservapedia's contributors have.

The Columbus article says that they didn't know the circumference of the Earth at the time. They knew that Columbus was underestimating the circumference.
Columbus, believed the (incorrect) calculations of Marinus of Tyre, putting the landmass at 225 degrees, leaving only 135 degrees of water. Moreover, Columbus believed that one degree represented a shorter distance on the earth's surface than was actually the case. Finally, he read maps as if the distances were calculated in Italian miles (1,238 meters). Accepting the length of a degree to be 56⅔ miles, from the writings of Alfraganus, he therefore calculated the circumference of the Earth as 25,255 kilometers at most, and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan as 3,000 Italian miles (3,700 km, or 2,300 statute miles) Columbus did not realize Al-Farghani used the much longer Arabic mile (about 1,830 m).
The main problem was that experts did not accept his estimate. The true circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km (25,000 sm), a figure established by Eratosthenes in the second century BC,[7] and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan 19,600 km (12,200 sm). No ship that was readily available in the 15th century could carry enough food and fresh water for such a journey. Most European sailors and navigators concluded, likely correctly, that sailors undertaking a westward voyage from Europe to Asia non-stop would die of thirst or starvation long before reaching their destination. Spain, however, having completed an expensive war, was desperate for a competitive edge over other European countries in trade with the East Indies. Columbus promised such an advantage.

I was going to suggest that the article mention all the comics in which Jesus appears.
"In the comic appearing on *date*, Jesus Christ descended from Heaven amidst choirs of angels, expressing enthusiasm for deep-fried Twinkies."
It should make it sound like Penny Arcade isn't making fun of Jesus at all.

They actually discuss that there's not enough mention of God in the page on the Sun. What's worse is I can't tell if it's being serious or not.
Natrually, evil "evolutionists" are to blame for all recordings of the first version. How dare they.

Kind of disappointed.

Very funny...
I bet it would be really, really easy to play on Conservapedia.

The factual accuracy of this article is absolutely indisputable.
Did you check out the name of the guy who was complaining about the lack of God? "NeverForget" it's like a perfect storm of ignorant BS.
Yeah, looks like that guy was one of the earlier Conservatrolls. You need a bit more subtlety than that nowadays.
I also fixed the Lewis Black quote on the Daily Show page. No longer is it favorably! It is now sarcastically!
EDIT: How do you screenshot?

Finland Duck? Did I miss something? Also, I disapprove of your user name.
Read the uncyclopedia article.
edit: the Duck will only ever work if nobody is checking incoming edits, or if there are so many that it slips through.
@Conservacompletelycrackers - Every time I go to this site I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Sometimes I do both.
According to the official rules, you need it to stand for ten minutes to get any points. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
it has little ot do with conservative doctrine but everything to do with reinforcing a belief system based on breathtaking myopia, paranoia and total ignorance to reality.
And it's actually pretty cogent! Somebody fuck with it! Ith' act'f'athagn!
Will someone go edit the Zombie article? Clerics can not utterly annihilate them with pure faith alone. They have to cast Revive first.
I still don't get how Columbus can be described as discovering a land which was populated. You can easily fix the obvious issues with logic, but no we have to be obstinate and pretend that what was taught in 4th grade is and always will be right in our 9 planet solar system.

That's laughable.

It ain't that hard on Wikipedia.
On Conservapedia, you might only need 1 or 2, most of the time.
unless you end up starting on a linkless stub.

the article on homosexuals is really long
remember, if it doesn't stay up for at least ten minutes, it doesn't count.
clearly the editors there have put quite a bit of thought into this topic!
No one ever claimed that conservatives weren't obsessed with homosexuals.
Wait, were you editing the Columbus section, the Charles Darwin section, or both?
