Conservapedia -- Is this what the US right thinks of their President?

[Pangur Bán]

The article is question is this one, Barack Hussein Obama

It is from an online encyclopedia called "Conservapedia". Conservapedia describes itself as "The Trustworthy Encyclopedia". The site's aim is similar to Wikipedia's, but has more parochial goals, seeking to avoid Wikipedia's alleged left-wing bias in relation to US political matters.

Now if you are American and you are someone who thinks of themselves as "conservative", please indicate whether or not this article represents your view of your president. Do you think this article is "neutral"?

 

[Ajidica]

Conservapedia is a joke. Ignore it as you would any openly biased group if you are looking for objective information.
As for the left-wing bias in wikipedia, reality has a well known left-wing bias.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Conservapedia. Enough said. They don't even recognize that bias may be in their direction. Politics aside, the site has paltry encyclopedic value. Consider cellular respiration as opposed to cellular respiration.

 

[Cutlass]

Bunch of lying hacks. Anyone believing anything from there is an idiot sheeple.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

When I first saw that site I thought it was some parody. Enough said.

It seems to me they are homosexual atheists who prefer Obama over Hitler and Hitler slightly over Sarah Palin:

Why are religious people obsessed with homosexuality anyways, instead of say, wearing mixed fibers in clothing?

 

[holy king]

because you always want what you cant have.

Because not all theist are Jewish.

 

[Shadowbound]

The majority of Conservapedia contributors are trolls. There's maybe a dozen who are genuine.

 

[GenMarshall]

Somehow I feel it's a backlash against the smears against Bush.

Teh guy who runs the site is genuine, he was on Colbert.

He is the son of Phyllis Schlafly who was sorta the Ann Coulter of the 80s.

The material that appears on his site is not more bat-crap-crazy than what you can find in any other conservative corner of the Internet, for example Free Republic or the site Fundies Say The Darndest Things that aggregates crazy fundy talk from around the Internet.

Conservapedia is not representative of the mainstream of American conservatism but it is surely representative of more than just itself.

Are they still working on the Conservative Bible Project? I wonder how all the 'literalists' think about that.

bescause they, as aopposed to all others, must fight each and every little urge that may or may not have anything or nothing to do with same-sex sexuality.

Show me a loud-mouth gay-hater and I show you a closet gay who has a problem with his sexuality.

Um, what are you trying to say here?

I am saying that sexuality, which is strongly regulated by most religions, leads to much personal suffering if it does not conform with your religious rules, which leads to a countering action: condemning exactly the kind of behavior you want to really do yourself.

Case in point: homosexuality and the Catholic church. Those who rail the loudest against it - are all (closet) gays.

if you don't believe me, just ask a Catholic priest who is not gay.....he'll tell you, if you is your friend, plenty of stories.

People who hate homosexuality are gay?

I had to go look again just to see if this photo was a prominent part of their article:

It no longer is. This either means that their journalistic intergrity has increased by an albeit miniscule amount, or they found other photos they thought were worse.

I think it is amazing that there hasn't been at least one major attempt on Obama's life which has gotten to the final phase. Perhaps the Secret Service is just doing an exceptional job.
