Conservapedia 'Poisonous'

I just read the AP story about Conservapedia.com, the Bible rewriting project proposing to erase the effects of "liberal academics" who have "watered down" Jesus by studying the ancient languages of the Bible. The linguists, one supposes, are all secret Satanists and cannot be trusted.

The group's founder, Andy Schlafly, is the son of Phyllis Schlafly. The apple has not fallen far from the tree. These are the same John Birchers and reactionary right-wingers of yore. Conservapedia is just a new offshoot of that poisonous tree, and Schlafly is the fruit of fringe insanity. The poor kid was raised to believe this gorp.

Over the decades, a nebulous root-system of direct-mail lists fed the paranoia of the stupid and informed the world of AM talk radio. Toxic to democracy, this monster has flourished in the age of the Internet and media consolidation. Its tentacles pull the mixing-board levers of Fox News Channel, where Glenn Beck spews that same pollution into the mainstream of public opinion.

Birthers, death panels, black helicopters, lizard people, secret U.N. armies in Nebraska ... where do you think these idiots come from? A majority of Republicans today actually believe the president was born in Kenya. How do you think that happened?...

“Have you tried gorp?”

No, but I’ve had trail mix before. It isn’t bad.

Nonsense! Conservapedia is one of the most well-reasoned, logical and reliable new sites on the internet. It's only a matter of time before the (much better-researched) information there supplants the liberal anti-God Wikipedia as the first place good Christian Americans look for sound information!

Conservapedia doesn't suffer from the censorship of alternative (and generally more reliable) ideas the way Wikipedia does. God Bless the brilliant Andy Schlafly for starting this site, and smacking it to lib historians and godless scientists (who incidentally know about a tenth of what he and his staff knows about anything.)

(The only sites that are probably better and wide-scoping are FreeRepublic and WorldNetDaily.)

“Birthers, death panels, black helicopter”, oh my!
