Let's hear it for quote mining. Should we mention that the WP article on Conservapedia actaully begins:

Conservapedia is a wiki-based web encyclopedia project with the stated purpose of creating an encyclopedia written from a socially- and economically-conservative viewpoint supportive of Conservative Christianity.[1][2][3] Many of its articles are also supportive of Young Earth creationism.[4]
