Why We Love Conservapedia: Outing Dangerous Professors
Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 6:00
When I'm lacking a bit of confidence, I always turn to the entry of Conservapedia on "Professor Values", as I feel its captures my mission in life perfectly:
Professors' common value system typically includes atheism, censorship, socialism, unjustified claims of expertise and knowledge (for example, the dogmatic promotion of the theory of evolution), liberŠ°l beliefs, liberal grading, liberal bias, anti-patriotism, lack of productivity, bullying or discouraging conservative students (for example, homeschoolers), and promotion of sexual immorality.
On 14 November, one well-intentioned reader went further in portraying "Crimes and Alleged Crimes by Professors":
So far, so good, I think. Unfortunately, the reader then added the flourish of a tribute to Andrew Schlafly, founder of Conservapedia and son of veteran hunter of feminists and all dangerous liberals, Phyllis Schlafly:
And I'm not sure that the reader is sufficiently on-message with Conservapedia's absolutely factual entry on Barack Obama:
Andrew Schlafly prepares for flight in regards to proving Obama is a Muslim
With regret, I'm sure, Schlafly --- always modest, always kind to flying pigs --- had to reject the revisions. Still, keep up the good work, Mr Schlafly and Conservapedia!
Now I'm off now for a bit of socialism, evolution, and sexual immorality....

Geez Scott, Conservapedia really got you in one there...
As for "the dogmatic promotion of the theory of evolution". Wow.
Well they should just Thank the Lord that the teaching of Creationsm could never ever be called dogmatic.
Easy there, Karina, Creationism is founded on well-established principles. For example, to explain how bacteria have been found on Mars, creationists have non-dogmatically set out the following. When the continental plates on the Earth broke apart, a powerful mud geyser shot up. So powerful that some of the mud hit the Red Planet.
So there....
"bullying or discouraging conservative students (for example, homeschoolers),
This is true in the secular colleges and universities, but liberals and moderates are victims of bullying in the Christian schools. I spent one semester at a Christian college, where I first heard the stupid and ridiculous "Adam and Eve..not Adam and Steve" line. And boy did these 'God and Country' people light a fire under my ass for being pro-choice. I also realized that quoting David Hume, the 18th century philosopher, was also a no-no. I finished the semester and left. At State U. the gay rainbow banner was shoved in my face. Many women had shaved heads, and men were the disposable sex there. Nightmares of being raped by Charles Darwin, Antonio Gramsci and Karl Polanyi didn't make State U such a worthwhile experience either.
Oh well...choose your medicine, I guess....
