Alternative? ALTERNATIVE? Do they even realize that by using the original’s engine they’re probably FINANCING the original??? :smack: Morons.

That’d be great – the Steve Colbert of online encyclopedias!
Uh, no. THIS is the Stephen Colbert of online encyclopedias!
Hmm no entries on Rush or Anne Coulter. Yet. Wonder how fawning and sycophantic they’ll get?

Maybe it’s a joke site.

George W. Bush
George W. Bush is the greatest leader ever elected to the office of the Presidency.
Some of his successes are: Defeating Saddam Hussein. Prevented any further terrorist attacks on US soil (since September 2001). Cut taxes.
(Giles, they must have added some stuff)
“Charles Darwin was born in England to a Christian family on February 12, 1809. He is the founder of Evolution. After spending some time on the Galapagos Islands and studying the animals that lived there, he came up with his theory of “natural selection” and published The Origin of Species in 1859.”
On Ronnie Rayguns… “Considered by many to be the greatest Conservative American President”
That’s like saying Kennedy was the greatest Marilyn Monroe boffing president.
FDR was the greatest president of the Great Depression era.
Truman was the greatest A-bomb-dropping president.
Washington was the greatest first American president. EVAR.
Man, the hits keep coming…
Bill Clinton:
"Bill Clinton served as president of the United States from 1993-2001. He was only the second president in history to be impeached by the House of Representatives, after Andrew Johnson. Clinton never won a majority of the popular vote.
Clinton won in 1992 with 43% of the popular vote, capitalizing on public discontent with a weak economy. In his first two years in office, 1993 through 1994, Clinton failed at his gargantuan, vast, massive attempt to gain government control of the health care system. His approach consisted of appointing a planning committee with secret members to reshape this important sector of the economy. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons successfully sued to force disclosure of the committee members and ultimately to defeat the program.
Clinton also signed into law the Violence Against Women Act, which legalised violence between men and women, :eek: which had always been handled under state rather than federal law. A key provision of this law was later ruled unconstitutional in United States v. Morrison.[1]
In 1994, voters expressed their high disapproval of Clinton by giving a landslide victory to Republicans in Congress. That ended much of Clinton’s power. Though reelected against a weak Republican candidate in 1996 (Bob Dole), Clinton spent the remainder of his presidency combatting scandals, one of which (the Monica Lewinsky scandal, where Clinton was caught having an affair with a male prostitute named Monica Lewinsky) resulted in his impeachment.
Bill Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, has long sought to become president herself. She used her position of influence to obtain the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate without opposition in 2000, and was elected in this safely Democratic state. Reelected in 2006, she is now running for president in 2008.
[edit]
Legacy
As much as it pisses off wingnuts, Bill Clinton remained a very popular president after leaving office. His popularity has only been enhanced by the historical juxtaposition of George Bush II: The Decider, who is widely held to be among the few worst presidents in history"
This may have started off as a joke/lark/thinly-veiled propaganda tool… this could catch on. Get added on to by Rush and Coulter disciples. This is like free swift-boat advertising. Shame I’m not a hacker…

“Charles Darwin was born in England to a Christian family on February 12, 1809. He is the founder of Evolution. After spending some time on the Galapagos Islands and studying the animals that lived there, he came up with his theory of “natural selection” and published The Origin of Species in 1859.”
My biology professor at Texas A&M told us during a lecture that Charles Darwin was about as much of a conservative Christian as you were ever likely to encounter at Texas A&M (a university located out in southern rural Texas, if you want to take a guess at the religious tendencies of the students there). It just so happened that, in addition to being an conservative Christian, he also came up with Evolution.
Shurely this is a satire?
Even so I imagine it’s rather insulting to conservatives. One helpful way in which the SDMB has fought the ignorance of this self-assessed ‘liberal’, is to get me to understand that the way of thinking suggested in the Conservapedia is in no way necessary to conservative thinking, and that many of those who would self-identify as ‘conservative’ would reject this Conservapedia as roundly as I do.
It seems it’s not a hoax.

Ed Brayton reports on Conservapedia, set up by Creationist Andrew Schlafly because he didn’t like the “anti-Christian” bias of Wikipedia. Andrew Schlafly is the son of Phyllis Schlafly and legal counsel for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, which publishes bad science promoting a thimerosal autism link, as well as Rachel Carson was worse than Hitler stuff.Commenter doctorgoo found this entry on the origins of the kangaroo:
Like all modern animals, modern kangaroos originated in the Middle East and 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. It has not yet been determined whether kangaroos form a holobarmin with the wallaby, tree-kangaroo, wallaroo, pademelon and quokka, or if all these species are in fact apobaraminic or polybaraminic. After the Flood, kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land -- as Australia was still for a time connected to the Middle East before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart -- or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters.

Somebody believes that Pangea existed but within the last few thousand years? There’s just no response to ignorance that complete.

I prefer to just whack them upside the head with a big book. There’s a small chance that they’ll learn something by osmosis that way.

The current version reads:
Is the president of the United States of America. Was elected controversially in 2000, and re-elected in 2004.
Some of his successes are:
Invading Iraq after lying to the world about Iraqi WMD.
Has killed tens of thousands of innocent people since 2001 and has caused more American deaths than 9/11.
Totally erased the budget surplus handed to him by the Clinton administration.
Was elected president by the Supreme Court in 2000 and stole the 2004 election through widespread voter fraud and intimidation.
Dear me, I do believe that somebody has been engaging in vandalism…

Or else the continents are drifting apart a lot faster than we thought. If Australia has moved from Pangea/Asia to where it is now in 4000 years, you’d think that someone would notice as it flew by.
Man, that continent hauls ass!
To be fair, the continent we’re on now is also clearly hauling a whole lot of asses.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan is supposedly the man who said “you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.” Conservapedia is more proof that you don’t need your own facts when you can have your own reality.

It seems it’s not a hoax.
Verified. I searched WhoIs. I must say that if I were a conservative, I would organize some sort of boycott, protest, or wholesale revolution.
The current version reads:
Dear me, I do believe that somebody has been engaging in vandalism…
He’s personally killed thousands of people? Damn, that’s a man who finds time to get things DONE in a day!

“You killed a hundred thousand people? You must get up very early in the morning! I can’t even get down the gym. Your diary must look odd: ‘Get up in the morning, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Lunch, Death, Death, Death, Afternoon Tea, Death, Death, Death, Quick shower …’” - Eddie Izzard, Dress to Kill 1999

There’s a scene in Hot Shots Part Duex where Saddam was flipping through his daily planner, and it said “Public Execution, Public Execution, Public Execution, Coffee With Doris, Public Execution” or something like that. Also him using a table-lighter that looked like an oil rig. That movie had lots of little jokes like that.
