Conservapedia:What is going on at CP?/September 2009

See? We're not racist, this prominent academic scholar random guy on Youtube criticized Obama and HE'S BLACK! ps, 🇰🇪 Stop wasting your life on Youtube, it's not healthy. Did Conservapedia's article on Harry Potter show witchcraft in a good light? Gotta fix that. Otherwise, the slippery slope can lead from Harry Potter to homosexuality, and then (shudder!) evolution! More: Burn the witch! The rape of teh Bible continues - Jesus wore "comfortable and nice" clothes. No kaftan and sandals for this hippie. Conservapedia. Ever-vigilant in exposing dangerous trends, like diverting students from coursework for political indoctrination, or Presidential worship. User: "No Andy, this is how it goes." Andy: "Last wordism!" User: "Fine; I shall say no more." Andy: "Ha! See how evolutionists run from public debates!" A user accuses the Potato article of being written by a third grader - RJJensen proudly steps forward to accept his award. User: You're full of shit! RJ: Shut up!. Jpatt is again showcasing that he is better at being a parodist than any real parodist ever was fighting an enemy that can't be seen and mustn't be discussed. [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Barack_Hussein_Obama&diff=702858&oldid=702837 Barack Obama? Pfft! Did you mean OSAMA BIN LADEN?!?!?']

User:The breast cancer article needs to be more truthful. RJJensen's response: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AHawkian&year=&month=-1 BANHAMMER! For lib-bur-al name calling] Moments later from another user: I have proof Schlafly doesn't abide to the truth.. DouglasA: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Breast_cancer&diff=703210&oldid=703203 Pffft!!! Insulting nonsense!] The other user: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Breast_cancer&diff=703225&oldid=703210  But my comments aren't insulting, I was just direct quoting in relating to the debate. This is blasphemy! This is censorship!] Joaquín Martínez: Censorship? THIS IS BANHAMMER!! After Jpatt yells "INDOCTRINATION!", Karajou decides to play Godwin's AND North Korea's law. It's 'Wiki Guessin' Time!': "XXX-pedia is bad because many of the articles are locked, contain biased information and users are blocked for inserting factual information". Andy displays his mathematical virtuosity once more: Claiming that "complex analysis assumes a unique, algebraically manipulable square root of negative 1" isn't wrong, it's "silly". Like, duh !  Justice prevails! Conservapedia takes its rightful place in Wikimedia's list of largest wikis. Yes, there it is, behind Wikipedia in Georgian, but slightly ahead of Memory Alpha. Jpatt can't quite decide which conservative sacred cow to to. Jpatt blocks 'Gayrights' and asks for a real name, then blocks WFriedkin for "inappropriate or vulgar name". Cpnfusded mchu, Japtt? Huh? (Wigo author actually rendered speechless) UPDATE The "reason" appears to be JPratt seems to think that "Homosexual Obsession" and "Obsessed Homosexual" are the same thing. UPDATE User accuses Jpatt of vandalism on Andy's talk page. Jpatt blocks "troublemaker". Andy reverts Jpatt. Jpatt deletes comment from Andy's talk page. Huh? <votecp poll=wigo2528 closed="yes">One for the "Wait, What?!" Department. In CP's ongoing attempt to libel the President, they refer to him as "aka Barry Soetoro." What do they use as a reference? PRAVDA! Rob must be having a fit! <votecp poll=wigo2527 closed="yes">More proof of a young Earth. this edit somehow claims that the changes in the Earth's magnetic field must be exponential, and so the Earth can't possibly be old. It cites a web page from NASA. That web page has a graph showing that the field changes are anything but exponential. And it mentions that "There have been about 170 of these [magnetic field] reversals during the last 76 million years ..." Hardly an endorsement of a 6000 year old Earth. UPDATE Someone points out the "76 million years" bit. Andy reverts, calling it "biased and unprovable speculation" and leaves this classic Andyism. <votecp poll=wigo2526 closed="yes">Andy, the rewriter of the conservative bible, objects to someone being PC with the Bible <votecp poll=wigo2525 closed="yes">Really, Ken? A fat joke? UPDATE: Stop it! You're killing me!!! <votecp poll=wigo2524 closed="yes">Schlafly notes with pride that someone thanked CP for teaching her that the first Thanksgiving was to give thanks for the Constitution. Even CP's page says that that Thanksgiving was in 1619 or 1621! Uhhhh, when was the Constitution written? <votecp poll=wigo2523 closed="yes">The main page cites a report that the weather in Michigan this summer has been among the coldest on record, along with statistics expert Schlafly's usual claims that this disproves global warming. A user pipes up with (as of this minute, they seem to keep coming) citations that the weather is extremely hot in Texas, Viet Nam, the Pacific Northwest, Northern Canada, British Columbia, and Texas again. How long until the banhammer? UPDATE A Chip off the Old Earth? <votecp poll=wigo2522 closed="yes">A user makes a brilliant post about how changes in society moves civilization forward. Ed Poor's response: [http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:Alexanrdos BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! Too long; didn't read]. And Ed brings in the banhammer and pressed the vaporize button. <votecp poll= wigo2521 closed="yes">Lib-bur-ull censorship! Andy's Merriam-Webster dictionary omits the term "invisible hand" (but not really). <votecp poll=wigo2520 closed="yes">Two young fellows have existential crises. Instead of getting psychological help, each comes to his own tragic end: one steps in front of a truck and the other retreats into his own little dream world. <votecp poll=wigo2519 closed="yes">Computer Programmer Ed rants at no one in particular about one of his pet peeves with Windows. Ever heard of rmdir, Ed? UPDATE: Ed rejects a sourced quote in favor of his own rant, complete with an out-of-the-blue assertion that meat is the natural food of dogs.

<votecp poll=wigo2517 closed="yes">JDWPianist explains that the Telegraph article does not actually contain any race-baiting. Andy replies: LA-LA-LA-LA-LA; I CAN'T HEAR YOU! <votecp poll=wigo2516 closed="yes">Andy: The most conservative of the British papers is still liberal, in the same way that a brilliant third-grade student is still a third-grade student.

<votecp poll=wigo2514 closed="yes">Andy shows his illiterate side again: The Brits are performing lib-burr-rul race baiting in an article on the Joe Wilson issue. He obviously did not read the part of the article that says, "Crying racism can be a cheap way of shutting down debate. By attempting to marginalise Mr Wilson as a racist, Democrats are playing a dangerous game." <votecp poll=wigo2513 closed="yes">Woops, looks like it dun broke. <votecp poll=wigo2512 closed="yes">Ed makes a guide to translation from outdated HTML markup, then promptly improves it with outdated HTML markup. <votecp poll=wigo2511 closed="yes">Andy: Lib-burr-ruls are deliberately ignorant about economics and the Bible, and stare blankly when questioned about them. On the other hand Andy's preferred response is to revert and stick his fingers in his ears. <votecp poll=wigo2510 closed="yes">Karajou: Obama plans to make illegal immigrants legal. Therefore, illegal immigrants can get health care. This vindicates Joe Wilson's outburst. <votecp poll=wigo2509 closed="yes">RobS: Obama is unqualified to preach morals to Wall Street until he "satisfactorily explains" why a certain conspiracy theory is false. Of course, the only "satisfactory" explanation for Rob is probably, "I'm the Kingpin of Corruption and Gov. Blagojevich was my fall guy." <votecp poll=wigo2508 closed="yes">Better. Better. Better! Better!!! BETTER!!! BETTER!!!111!!!one!!! <votecp poll=wigo2507 closed="yes">Andy: JPratt... I've learned a great deal from your insights. (No wonder he's still a moron then.) JPratt: I have yet to reach my potential. (Kind of an understatement don't you think?) <votecp poll=wigo2506 closed="yes">Andy challenges his students to tell him if a price ceiling produces a surplus or a shortage. Then he plies his artistic skills and lets slip the answer. <votecp poll=wigo2505 closed="yes">Andy cleans out evilutionist lies, such as the absurd proposition that valleys formed by erosion, instead of being formed by a flood. <votecp poll=wigo2503 closed="yes">Count on ACORN to laugh at the rest of us. Count on the rest of us to laugh at Conservapedia as they hack up the same shtick for the umpteenth time. <votecp poll=wigo2504 closed="yes"> This site Discontent with the federal government is growing rapidly! <votecp poll=wigo2502 closed="yes"> There were arguably more people at the 9/12 rallies than there were protesting the Iraq war. User: "It's beyond arguable; it's a fact." Ed: Don't get terse with me. You sound like a liberal. You're on probation. User: But I was agreeing with you! Ed: Blocked and reverted - "Insistence on last-wordism". <votecp poll=wigo2501 closed="yes">Rob seems to have gone off his meds. Who came up with this M*A*S*H unit idea, Rob? The Voices in your head? <votecp poll=wigo2500 closed="yes">Andy: Evolution apparently can't explain jellyfish swarms. Therefore, evolution is a pile of bunk. <votecp poll=wigo2499 closed="yes">Conservapedia: A homeless man beats a woman to death with a hammer. People in his town had previously let him off scot-free after he stole from them. This happened in Vermont. Therefore, lib-burr-ruls hate society. Reality: A spate of petty crimes hits a Vermont town. The townsfolk think a local homeless man is responsible, and try to find him. Meanwhile, he beats a woman to death with a hammer. <votecp poll=wigo2498 closed="yes">In a startling turn-around, Andy considers the removal of some global-warming boilerplate to be improving an article. <votecp poll=wigo2497 closed="yes">Andy: But the "them" is grammatically incorrect but avoids using a gender-specific pronoun. <votecp poll=wigo2496 closed="yes">Andy publicly abuses one of his history students, #13, LydiaM, over her homework. (We do not know whether Lydia is a parodist/faker; it's not important.) Andy is particularly shocked by the misspelling "reforamation", and says that this "seems a like a mistake an uninformed public school person would make." We won't waste your internet bandwidth with 20 screenfuls of misspellings by Andy and his homeschooled minions (except this one, a reply to Lydia.) Andy asks how long Lydia has been beating his wife attending public school. She says she's a homeschooler. Ouch! <votecp poll=wigo2495 closed="yes">Inverted notability criteria: Alan Turing's homosexuality stops being notable the moment the British government apologizes for mistreating him because of it. <votecp poll=wigo2494 closed="yes">2 million patriots march on Washington D.C. to protest health care reform and prove that they are the true majority! Well actually it was more like 60-70,000 people... but hey who's counting? For scale, this is less than 1/3 the number of people who marched in the 2009 Gay Pride parade in the same city. <votecp poll=wigo2493 closed="yes">RJJensen: "This is a serious encyclopaedia!" Your days are numbered, Sonny Jim! <votecp poll=wigo2492 closed="yes">To 🇰🇪: What does a business deal have ANYTHING to do with Richard Dawkins?

Not to mention this. <votecp poll=wigo2488 closed="yes">Once again Ed Poor kisses Andy's ring and fails to understand what "equal rights" means. <votecp poll=wigo2487 closed="yes">An article about Pong? You're blocked for POV editing, removal of valid content, material without references, falsehood and LIES!!! <votecp poll=wigo2486 closed="yes">You cannot be serious Jpatt.... Update: Jpatt finds censoring easier than answering. <votecp poll=wigo2485 closed="yes">A prominent journalist leaves ABC for Fox News. His aim? Making a break from "partisan" news networks. <votecp poll=wigo2484 closed="yes">RJJensen: "Conservatism represents a broad coalition of many different Christians and non-Christians." Whatever happened to Conservapedia's "support teacher-led Christian prayer in public schools or you're a lib-burr-rul" shtick? <votecp poll=wigo2483 closed="yes">User FOIA, well-known for producing CP's epic "Alger Hiss" article, now seems to be gunning for the 🇰🇪 award on that article: 18 edits in 32 minutes, then 40 more in 84 minutes, then 26 more in 52 minutes. And he continues.

And Snopes are bunch of liars]. Jpatt (moments later): Snopes proves the money won't be used to relocate Palestinians to America!!! <votecp poll=wigo2480 closed="yes">Andy is wetting his pants with excitement at the thought that corporations will be able to fund campaigns directly, laughably assuming that this means automatic wins for wingnuts like himself. <votecp poll=wigo2479 closed="yes">RobS points out that under ObamaCare compulsory insurance will be mandatory! In other news, under ObamaCare, oranges will be orange!

<votecp poll=wigo2478 closed="yes">Andy: it's well-known outside liberal college campuses that feminists have no sense of humor. Look, 30,000 hits on Yahoo proves it! User: But "conservatives" "no sense of humor" gets 87,000 hits!

<votecp poll=wigo2477 closed="yes">Despite Jpatt's best "eefort," he still can only come up with semi-logorrheic drivel.

<votecp poll=wigo2476 closed="yes">Andy opposes a plan to make everyone buy health insurance, thinking it a lib-burr-rul scheme. Odd, but we recall that a very similar plan was made by a certain arch-conservative...

<votecp poll=wigo2475 closed="yes">Breaking news: A forum post on my.barackobama.com official BarackObama.com press release calls for phoning your senators in support of public health care making a communist revolution against opponents of Obama, Van Jones, and the teachers' union.

<votecp poll=wigo2474 closed="yes">It is part of feminist style to, in fiction movies, "portray nearly all the women are portrayed as flawless and strong, and nearly all the mean as flawed and weak."

Andy FTW: "Yeah.... well.... atheists censor classroom prayer! <votecp poll=wigo2468 closed="yes">Someone puts a lot of negative characteristics (Bigotry, Hate, Corruption, Treachery, Gossip) and our favorite: sexual immorality into the liberal traits category.

Because, you know, Andy hasn't a clue about who the translators are. Andy doesn't have any translators.
