Are you just sick and tired of having to prove what you're saying in the face of challenges from others? Then this is the place for you. The best part is that it pretends to be just as informative as Wikipedia, just without the Liberal Bias. Of course if you look at the articles that are about something that isn't religion, Republican, or smearing something that is against religion or Republicans, it's about as informative as a comic book.

The best part is the top ten searched items:

It's fun to compare the pages.

It's all about the gays with these guys. I guess the saying is true: republicans think about gay men more than gay men do.

No, they seem to BE homo's. Now they are trying to find info as to why, and how they can hide or suppress it.

And when they are not out being gay, doing gay things in secret, they like to have arguments about gays, church and guns.. :rofl: Should they find themselves in a bathroom stall rubbing feet with an undercover cop, they are going to need those arguments.

Then Conservapedia's references to popular media and newspapers like CNN and the chicago tribune, and fucking SPACE.COM?!? and reports from independant groups. In fact, I don't see a single peer reviewed source on this pathetic list!

"The following is a growing list of examples of liberal bias, deceit, silly gossip, and blatant errors on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has been called the National Enquirer of the Internet:[1] "

Of course the reference is a conservative blog....

Instead of complaining about the largest user editted encyclopedia, maybe they should and some logical passages to the numerous so called biased entries. They just make themselves look like a bunch of self-righteous complainers!

Who would want to read their opposing biased point of view?

No entry on Viagra.

It surprises me a bit that no rabid conservative has any views on Viagra.
