Re: What topics concerns/interests conservatives?
Isnt it fairly common knowledge that Conservapedia is a bit of a joke, even among conservatives?
From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law.

Yes but it doesn't take much to entertain the lower intelligence liberal types looking for a self esteem boost.

Cheap shot.
Especially since the ratio of knuckle draggers to bright types is far more skewed to the cro-magnon on the conservative side.

To be fair I bet the high ranking of those topics is driven by sites linking to particularly stupid, homophobic or insulting articles.
"and it's not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

It takes a special sort of wierdo to think up deploying a clickbot for this purpose.

Re: What topics concerns/interests conservatives?
Ive never even heard of Conservapedia before today. The fact that such an idiotic site exists is bizarre.

Why did you quote me? I dont get it.
Are you implying that some left leaning type has generated a "clickbot" to inflate certain articles in order to vilify Conservapedia?
Or is this just a charming steyr non sequitor?

Seems like a reasonable assumption, especially when you consider the types over at rationalwiki.

Re: What topics concerns/interests conservatives?
Ah. So its impossible that conservatives in America are obsessively hung up about issues surrounding homosexuality. they'd never push constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, right?

Possible but not probable. Especially when some of the articles were just created last month.

I remember that one. It was about the controversial topic of the existence of unicorns, Noah's ark, and the Irish Rovers.

Re: What topics concerns/interests conservatives?
Parasites ?!
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

Re: What topics concerns/interests conservatives?
Sort of looks like the work of a clickbot. Conservapedia has become something of a liberal whipping boy, if it ever was anything else. I would expect abortion and Ronald Reagan to be somewhere up there too.
