Wait, I thought Conservapedia was a joke?


No, Conservapedia is deadly serious. The guy who operates it (Andrew Schlafly) is a real piece of work. And apparently it runs in the family too, since his mom (Phyllis Schlafly) is the main reasons the equal rights amendment got shot down:

A pretty big WTF there.


I wonder how much of their traffic and contributors are genuine conservatives or just people who want to troll/laugh at conservatives?

The real comedy gold is in the "talk" pages, I remember some years ago a person tying to make an argument that the Al-Qaeda page should begin "Al-Qaeda is a liberal organisation..".


By poes law, its not very surprising that someone would think conservapedia to be a parody rather than something serious. The only people who post there are either extreme, or trolls pretending to be.
