Bigotry Round-Up

(I'm feeling cranky)

Hey, did you know there's a so-called "equivalent" to wikipedia that's tailored just toward conservativism?

Yeah...it's called Conservapedia! It touts itself as a meeting place for all conservatives, and a "center for conservative thought".

Now, I'm a Progressive, but I like to look at multiple perspectives when it comes to the issues and I don't mind grappling with the grey in between the black and white, so when I happened upon this site, I figured this would be a good "go-to" source when seeking out a critical and well-rounded view of important issues.

Right off I noticed, in the sidebar, "The Conservapedia Commandments", of which there were seven- six dealing with journalistic standards. Number four, however, ordered that there be proper notation for Jesus' approximate birth.

At that point, I wondered about the site's Christian slant, but I didn't mind since I see that perspective as important in a country where Christianity is a major faith. Whether or not I believe it belongs in the political landscape is irrelevant considering the force and influence Christian thought actually has over the course of political events. I'd still bookmark it as a source for Conservative Christian perspectives.

Buth then I clicked on "Site Statistics".

Most viewed pages

Main Page? [2,546,238]
Homosexuality? [2,384,624]
Teen Homosexuality? [416,565]
Wikipedia? [373,462]
Arguments Against Homosexuality? [332,079]
Homosexual Agenda? [330,568]
Ex-homosexuals? [316,910]
Homosexuality and Choice? [311,647]
Adolf Hitler? [305,399]
Homosexuality and Health? [292,595]

It's hard to make sense of any of this, but one has to wonder.... is this the full breadth of Conservative thought in America?

Sad. If nothing else, one can't deny the fixation.

Just for fun, I clicked on "Lesbianism":
"A 53-year-old university professor and campaigner for legalized same-sex marriage in the UK said she was once a married "happy heterosexual" who had no doubts about her sexual orientation, but political activity and involvement in feminist causes 'changed' her into a lesbian."

For more laughs, click on the Christian Conservative idea of what a "feminist" is!!!! The deeper you go, the funnier it gets!!!

Or the scarier.

In all seriousness, unfamiliarity breeds fear.
Fear is exploited by those who know better.

If anyone believes that bull, they've got some freakin' homework to do.

I went and got my eyebrows waxed and suddenly became a blonde with blue eyes.
*blink* *brain freeze*
Seriously, I'm not surprised.
They have to grasp at their so called moral straws to somehow justify their cause in supporting a mass murderer. And if the best they can conquer is some kind of sicophant regurgitated nonsence on who a person is suppose to either fuck or love - then they are clearly about outta options.

Yeah, I don't really believe that either...

p.s. I don't believe this represents the "full breadth of Conservative thought in America" or even Christian conservative thought. This is one specific site expressing a narrow group of opinions and beliefs.

I agree with NimbleThimble and get a good chuckle out of the obsession with homosexuality. Must be a lot of tension there!

I suspect that there are a lot of people who would view themselves as conservatives (small c) and would be terrified by the web site you've found.
If they are so fixated on homosexuality, I suspect it's a smokescreen for their own insecure sense of sexuality.

re: Feminism

You don't mind if I hold the door for you, do you? And what does it say about me when I do the same for a male friend?

I am a Democrat, but I am not a liberal. The conservative Democrat seems to be an endangered species these days, but still, I resent this joke of a web page being represented as mainstream conservatism. I don't care what a person's sexual orientation is, my conservatism is largely fiscal, and a preference for a strict reading of the Constitution. I mean, where a "prenumbraed" right is superior to a "literal" (that is specifically denoted) right, I have trouble following the logic and do not feel secure in my rights as a citizen. Those are "conservative" issues, not the web page you have exposed here.
I hope the readers of this blog will recognize the difference and give weight where it is due.

Wow I can totally relate to the woman who became a lesbian. I was a hetro then I went hunting with Dick Cheney and now I am a lesbo too. What's up with all this???

*GASP* You mean my belief that I am destined to be the one true ruler of this planet and that I am in fact better looking than Brad Pitt.....MAY NOT BE TRUE?

I don't know if I can handle this right now....

Heh...seriously, you basically said what I said but more coherently and with less sarcasm. :-)

ALL of our beliefs are "colored"by the human narrative, Omega- in one form or another, whether it be Biblical, Harlequin, Disney, or Paramount...we have all bought into one truth or another stemming from old tales passed down from one generation to another.

The point to this is that it's our obligation to make known what is unknown and to always question authority, else you're nothing but a sheep to be herded and used by those who will benefit from your ignorance.
