11

It's simple maths. Bush = America therefore Hating Bush = Hating America!img Yes, RickD...try telling that to 73% of the American population...

11

Smells like a trapimg. Think they'll keep any reasonable "Yes" opinions up?

6

It sure takes a lot of extreme lawyer thoughtimg for this Example of Bias!

15

More beefimg with Comedy Central and Jon Stewart including the dubious 60% statistic.

17

Self-proclaimed "fairly conservative Muslim-American" RonAbdulimg confronts Arrogant Andy over the "upside downimg" structure and uncited allegations in the public schoolsimg article. Andy returns, accusing Abdul of being closed-mindedimg. But it turns out that Andy is really the guilty oneimg. Who will win? Stay tuned for updates...

34

A great commentimg, brought to you straight from Andyland. Update: Some liberalimg is about to get smacked down HARD for daring to imply that 10 idiots and a few dozen teenagers aren't doing a better job than the entirety of Wikipedia.

-1

Aschlaf Y thinks Michelle Obama should take fashion adviceimg from Ann Coulter. Do I detect a hint of longing in your voice, Aschlaf?

30

Kenservative tells Andy that his views on US gun control are foolishimg!?!? Update: TK joins in:img "The Supreme Court of the United States has decided this issue!" End of discussion, one presumes. But hey, TK! The Supreme Court also said that banning abortion is unconstitutional. End of discussion?

26

Even with the typo in the title, this is still the most intelligent article on CP Update: the apostrophe is gone. Update2: DeanS deletesimg, restored by Assflyimg for its educational value. Update3: CPAdmin1 TimS returns just to tag the essay with {{speedy}}; Andy removes the tagimg only 11 minutes later. How's that for speedy?

21

The cost of branding PJR as a liberal: "I also know that a substantial percentage of YECs are liberal and did vote for Obama."img

27

Apparently, when a liberal runs for Governor without holding public office beforehand, he's a bozoimg but when a Republicanimg does it...img

18

Classic TK. He revertsimg Jessica's "revisionist" (the CIA is revisionist?) entry and replaces it with the "correct" reference... which states exactly what Jessica said in the first place. MOAR TeacaKe tries to censor the evidence of his getting pwnd on the talk page and Roger putsimg it back. Side Effect A very nice MYOBimg

17

Ken hopes that a domain squatter will "eat away at Wikipedia's market share"img. Did he not read the article he posted, or is this simply wishful thinking? UPDATE: Hang on, we can't have any criticisms of capitalismimg around here! Or maybe even "entrepreneurial capitalists" was too strong...img

45

Andy's advice for the mentally ill? "Turn off the TV, stop reading the newspaper, and pick up a Bible."img Sure, because immersing themselves further in a fantasy world is just what those crazies need.

27

Hurricane Ed strikes the correlation article.img There'simg noimg oneimg leftimg whoimg caresimg aboutimg thisimg

23

Hurricane Ed strikes the R.A. Salvatore article.img There were no survivors.img

7

The perceptive and erudite TK says Happy New Years, Professor Poor!img

28

Karajerk sets the toneimg for CP in 2009... MOAR HITLER! and bad spelingns. Update: You're welcome, Teacake.img Now fix the page title.

24

Ken adds some dialogue of him flirting with a young lady to his talkpage, removes it, then deletesimg and recreates. Feeling guilty Ken?

36

CPWebmaster:Tim, we may not be perfect, but we're the best out there - and everyone else will hate you and your moral beliefsimg. Tim: This place makes Jesus AND Reagan look bad by association.img

41

We were never at war with Eastasia.img

7

Being touched upimg by Uncle Ed: a fate worse than deletion?

16

It begins. Do not talk about buglersimg, even in proper context.Moar "Whatever happened to...img?" (WAIT FOR IT)

-10

{{subst:C|Andrew Schlafly|We all}} know that it would be bad for America if Obama were Muslim. Leave it to a parodist to explain how it would be equally bad if Obama weren't a Muslim.img

176

Bugler says farewell and comes out as a parodist.img More: Like CPAdmin1, he is alreadyimg animg unperson.img And the door slamsimg behind him. A little more: Someone tries to show Andy the lesson he should learn from thisimg, predictably, failsimg and gets punishedimg.

9

Literally making historyimg. And Andy? Still silence...

18

A great way to celebrate New Year's Eve: Bitchingimg about something that never quite really happened and in the end proving your incompetent reading comprehension.

22

New sysops are inimg.

22

Suddenly Andy's worldview becomes very clearimg. UPDATE: A new Schlafly meme?img

-6

I hate to break it to you, TK, but you and Andy got the first two parts of that quote backwardsimg.

118

CPAdmin1 resigns in epic fashionimg. Update TK, on the other hand, resolves to continue being a pettyimg thugimg. More: TK and Andy hideimg the evidence.img And: no more user rightsimg or old user name.img More: Commentimg at your own peril!img

28

"These statistics look made upimg and make conservatives look bad", says concerned editor. "Of course I made them upimg... please find cites to prove my claims", says Andy.

20

The CP way of editorial discussion: Somebody addsimg a claim you doubt. So what do you do? Take it to the talk page to discuss? Nope: Revertimg and call in reinforcementsimg to X-Ray and bully the guy.

21

Andy adds another great achievementimg, presumably to the world of comedy.

2

Guess who thought to "(trim to get artwork on first screen)"img. No possibility that you realised how SCHTUPID some of the "awards" were & decided to sweep them under the carpet? Suicide volunteers required to sock up & enquire after them please.

0

TK flexesimg his checkuser muscles

32

As we slip from 2008 into 2009, OUT with the French Revolution (29247 views) and IN with Teenage Homosexuality (8923 views)img. Always a popular subject amongst homoschoolers.

10

Who would ever have guessed? TK's become more right-wing and authoritarianimg

-4

Suckup.img

13

Learn together tries to build peaceimg between Tim, Bugler and TK, and to "make sure that those watching from the outside can see us to be fair and honest". Sorry LT, but it's a couple of years too late for that.

-11

Most Cubans are blackimg, sez everybody's favorite world history teacherimg actually, sez the Wall Street Journal. Yebbut, the CIA (among other sources) disagrees.

28

Tim disagreesimg with another of Bugler's blocks, breaking the new ruleimg again. Expect further wheel warring. Update: It's On!img (TK throws down the gauntlet & Tim accepts.) Update: Currently sevenimg violations of TK's shiny new rule...

-7

Christians called to abandon public education.img In other breaking news, some idiot in Concord, Massachusetts fired a shot heard around the world...

14

7 year olds and 20 year olds now count as teenagers?img

-15

{{subst:C|Andrew Schlafly|Aschlafly}} says this sensible newspaper is squealing like a stuck pigimg. Why do you say such a nasty thing, Andy? The Schlaflys don’t slaughter pigs without stunning them we hope. Is that what Momma Schlafly used to say when you and the other the kids couldn’t take her reasonable chastisement?

43

Getting pregnant at 17img now counts as a "Great Achievement by a Teenager".

43

Bugler finally explains it all: Australians don't know shit about Australian problems because they are too closeimg to the problem. You need an American who has never been to Australia to really bring in the insights. Update Catherine points out the flawimg in this approach and gets Bugledimg for a week.

14

Just before Conservapedia might have succeeded in convincing all of one person that Barack Obama is a Muslim, they spoil everything with their latest exciting news flash: He's part of a Unitarian terrorist cell!img

32

PJR to TK: Fuck off, troll.img
Assfly to PJR: Fuck off, librul.img

3

Hey Ed, when thisimg gets reinstated, can we use this as a cite? UPDATE: Prophecy or lucky guess?img

19

Ed "I'm CP's foremost math expert and teacher" Poor is back in town. Deletes a whole page (that's his modus operandi) on integration because he "can't believe a parabola would be used like thisimg". Uh, it's called Simpson's rule, Ed. Read some books.

-8

Those familiar with The One Internet Viral to Rule Them All will appreciate the badgertastic inclusion of the humble Badgerimg in the list of words requiring retranslation in the Bibble. Andy won't be happy with the idea that it may need "an expert". Andy doesn't like experts.

22

That'simg not your real name. Try again, neither is your real nameimg your real name. Wait, what?.

21

Bugler can't acceptimg that abstinence-only education isn't the way to go and presents a simple solution on the talk page: What these poor people need is MOAR JESUS!img Expect blocks, rearguards and personal remarks soon.

15

Oh yeah, thisimg is going to be fun.

11

The reward for showing interestimg in Andy's Bible Revisionism Rewriting Retranslation Project: Upload, Block and Edit rightsimg in less than two months after joining.img Congratulations!

11

Sorry to burst your bubble there Ken, but PZ Myers did tackle the CP Evolution rant articleimg. He was totally dismissive of it, which is basically all it deserves.

23

Futility, 2nd version: Kotomi reasonsimg with TK. Update: TK responds.img It's about what you'd expect.

12

Cripes, Ken, we know you love to misrepresent the facts, but isn't replying to a conversation from almost two years agoimg (with people permabanned under false pretenses) as if it were current kinda pushing it a little? Extra feebleness Sure Ken, we believe youimg. Why wouldn't you expect AmesG to have a current account at CP, anyway?

34

There, that should stop PJR and CPAdmin1 from sticking up for the usersimg. The Fun Begins? Let's watchimg, shall we? One, Two, Three rounds so far, and Tim hasn't blinked.

16

Oh no! The creationists are "raady"img for the attack! What will we do against these misspelling wonders? Update Deleted to break the diff linkimg. Laugh this one off Ken, we have CaptureBot. MOAR You are making a real arse of yourself todayimg Ken.

15

Well sure, the majority of voters chose Obama. But it's not like they thought he was qualifiedimg or anything.

42

Andy: An hour spent reading Conservapedia is as educational as 100 hours spent reading a bookimg. Honestly, does Andy ever think about anything before he says it? Extra Sauce Cripes, why don't they get a roomimg.

26

Jessica takes RodWeathers out behind the woodshedimg for a little "chat". How long until his parodist-in-arms Bugler comes to rescue him? Update Nope, looks like it's Andy's bestest buddyimg instead, while Andy studiously ignores the whole thing, spending his time insulting a collegeimg instead. Jessica really tries to helpimg

2

So just one bad caseimg means that the whole British National Health Serviceimg is wrong? Why on Earth is “National Health Service” so popular then? If one case counts so much, Christian Conservatism must be devilish awful. Look at Ted Haggard, and the others.

26

Andy "final reply" Schlafly replies to Brichtigenimg (accusing him of last-wordism) two hours after BRichtigen was blockedimg. That should should fix those pesky last-wordists! Then, 7 minutes later, he shows his righteous indignation over last-wordism by creating an official block reason for itimg.

18

Define futilityimg

19

STFU, dissenter!img We said shut it!img You just don't learn, do you?img

16

What would you call thisimg edit? If your answer was "censorship"img, then you'd be in for a block.img If your answer was "reverting a vandalimg", then you might be TK.

15

TK's method of dealing with BRichtigen: Happyfun rangeblocks! It workedimg beforeimg and still does, just with a slightly more deceitfulimg reason. Of course, once BRichtigen uses a proxy to edit, he will be blocked for being a Sock of Multiple Blocked Users. Update Bugler says "screw subtlety" and just makes up a reason to block him for a weekimg.

34

Whatever next? Evidently all those liberal expertsimg who can't be relied upon to give us the truth about the Bible have confirmed that the Bible is the most historically and intellectually reliable ancient text in the whole worldimg.

60

CPAdmin1 to Aschlafly: Your source is a blog. I gave 4 separate sources that are Greek lexicons. Which do you think is more reliable?img. Do you really want to know? UPDATE: I'll take my blog and some shit I just made upimg over your fancy book larnin any day MOAR! Tim, it is well known that expertise is a liberal trait!img Think for yourself and think the same thoughts as I do. Your gut instinct plus whatever random blogs you can find that support it are far more reliable.

18

Q: Are we not men? A: We are Devo!img

4

Court upholds "gun rights"img (for a guy who surrendered his guns during divorce proceedings).

5

Kids are far too anxious. It has to be you guess, lack of faithimg. Fundy kids can’t possibly have nightmares about hell. They can’t possibly be anxious because some sadistic fundy adult will punish them over something they’ve done, might have done etc. It can be hard being a fucked up fundy kid.

11

It's just not Christmas without an Obama smearimg, is it?

57

The great work of creating the Schlafly Bible has begunimg!

28

Teacake celebrates the seasonimg of brotherly goodwill by lying about a fellow sysop "senior administrator",img making accusations,img and throwing cheap insults around.img He finally feels strong enough to remove the reminder that he was blocked and on probationimg.

30

Ed "I'm CP's foremost math expert and teacher" Poor creates a page for the movie "College Road Tripimg" saying nothing about the movie other than that it contains a math error. Hey Ed, how about looking at Foxtrot's (and your) massive math stupidity instead? And you do know that a diameter of 10 inches isn't the same as a radius of 4 or 5 cm, right, Ed? Ed?

17

RodWeathers quotes Darwin out of contextimg. Here’s what Darwin really wrote UPDATE: Corrected by . . . Conservativeimg?!

8

Onimg severalimg differentimg occasionsimg Teh Assfly gave students high marks for saying it’s just fine for the US government to spy on its citizens. Suddenly, he then brings up "non-beneficial" spyingimg. Who decides what’s beneficial? Teh Assfly and teh Republicans of course.

7

Reversion, or self-fulfillingimg prophecyimg?

15

'Tis not the season to be preachy.img Too bad Andy missed the memo.img

19

Ed hates Christmasimg.

11

(Moar Ed) "Bugler, how many times must I tell you to avoid personal remarks and cluttering up der Führer's talk page? Just block them!img"

5

Ed Poor: "Here, let me liveblogimg some Star Trek episode. Ah, no, wait, I lost interestimg again." Update: Ed-baiting fails.img

7

Yet more garbageimg trying to say Global warming isn’t real. Only Andy and DeanS can possibly be right. Respected scientists say Global warming is real. Andy, Deanie, stop imagining you’re cleverer than those scientists. Read, Essay:Status Worshipimg and learn. You won't look so stupid if you just stop worshiping your own status.

28

They estimate that 2 million people will come to see the inauguration of President Obama in person. Even more will watch on television. That's how keen Americans are to see improvements after Dubya. Where did we get that information? It’s from Conservapediaimg. Andy boasts that this number falls short of initial expecations due to status worship fatigue, but even the American Thinker admits it's more a problem of... you know... that not being logistically feasible. Also Andy didn't point out that "the crowd may well surpass the previous highest inaugural crowd".

-1

When you talk about thisimg, are you referring to the federal gay marriage ban, or overturning Roe v. Wade? Just clarifying.

29

I'll take "Rivers in Egypt" for 400, Alex: Tim: "Obama will use the Bibleimg when he is sworn into office. So there,img guys." He won't make a hole in Lincoln's Bible and put a Koran into it. Bugler: "Purest speculation!img And even if it was true, it wouldn't prove anything! Oh, and also, you totally abusedimg your sysop rights to promote the Liberal Media Agenda, scum."

15

Andy gets his knickers in a knot because President-elect Obama decides to use his full nameimg when being sworn in, although it's not clear if it was because a Muslim community leader asked him to or, you know, because it's a totally normal thing to do. Knowing Andy, it's the former.

56

While in Hawaii, Obama ate Spam Musubi. Muslims by law can't eat pork. Therefore, Obama cannot be a muslim! Andy: Not everyone knows Spam is made of pork, therefore it's not proof!img Obama drank beer, perhaps. At least there's a beer called Obama Beer. Aschlafly imagines beer isn't forbidden in Islam. Beer is forbidden. You can't easily make this much stupidity up, folks. {{subst:C|Andrew Schlafly#Reasons why Andy Schlafly is a Muslim|Is Andy a Muslim as well}}?

35

Highlights from the final homework of the semester. Question 2 - On Reagan and Clinton: "WOW!!" different parties.img "Clinton took away our guns".img "Clinton let everything go wrong".img "Ronald Regan {sic} failed at almost everything".img The difference is "sex with an intern".img Question 4 - On threats to America's future: Atheism!img Obama!img Evolution! And gay marriage!img SIN!!!img Grading: 26 students, only 2 got below 98%, nobody lost any credit for misspelling "Reagan".

29

Yet another extremely inspiring quoteimg by TK. Here tooimg! But next time, you might want to make sure that Patrick Henry really said it.

28

Andy: "More than 60% of public school kids in one survey watch more than 3 hours of television a day, good news to producers of liberal junk like Comedy Central."img The "survey" was a study of just teens in Memphis (national average, 35% watch that much), and the article mentioned nothing of what they watched. GOATS TK makes sure Comedy Central's articleimg doesn't have anything positive, and includes Fatwa envy.

19

Bugler has learnedimg which dictators politiciansimg are worth defending. (Regular readers may recall that Aschlafly ♥ Pinochet.)

16

Ken <3 parodistsimg

14

"Conservative" (what a ridiculous user name) is at it again, showing off his remarkable editing and composition skills. His articleimg took 34 edits, including 3 page moves, in just over 2 hours.UPDATE Ken fights back. "Gentlemen if you don't get it right first time, do it again... and again... and again... and...

20

Yet again, Andy reminds everyoneimg of the corruption inherent in professors - even in Nobel prize winners! It sure would be embarrassing if the linked article suggested there was corruption. It would almost be like putting a deposition before a court without even reading what it says. Successful lawyers just don't do things like that...

24

The Road To Sysop Rights (a.k.a. "It worked once, it'll work again, dammit!"): TK starts a long article about Domestic terrorismimg by openly copy-pasting the legal definition, copy-pasting from a news article, writing one line himself and adding a pictureimg he claims is non-copyrighted, but without saying where he got it from. Maybe it was from here ("Copyright © 2008 by NDAA, All Rights Reserved")? We'll never know...

-11

You forgot "hire a real teacher"img!

5

Now why on earth doesn’t Conservpedia tolerate people questioning Conservative Christian faithimg? Surely they’re confident their beliefs can stand up to testing? Surely dogma or collective bias shouldn't enter Conservapedia? Should it?

17

Aschlafly’s freedomimg should mean you’re free to do what teh Assflyimg wants and nothing else. Gay people shouldn’t have freedomimg to get their partnerships legally recognised. Fortunately the Constitution in California doesn't allow the majority to trample on important minority rights and Conservapedia’s Main Pageimg is a bit pissed. Really pissedimg. You never know... John Schlaflyimg might want to marry his boyfriend.

20

We've taken Andrew Schlafly and replaced him with someone who can say something not freaking insane once in a whileimg. Let's see if anyone notices. SWIFT UPDATE Too bad the original lunaticimg came back.

8

The Nazis were an anti-Christian organizationimg. Bugler continues with more revisionist lulz. UPDATE: "We don't block for ideological reasons."img

-4

Andy makes up more shitimg to tarnish Obama. Are hate and deceit really Christian values, or just Schlafly values? Joe the Plumber was just that bit dishonest. Is McCain at fault for that? Joe the Plumber dislikes you if you don't agree with him 100%. Isn't that just like teh Assfly?

63

FernoKlump pops offimg a first-class parthian shot. MOAR TARGET After the shot is cleared, AlanM reposts itimg. Subsequent beletionimg and killimg.

8

This from the manimg who bloviates endlessly about the size of his online class?

24

TomMoore was blocked for six monthsimg back in June. Now he's back (yes, he waited for his block to expire)... and quickly gets a five-year banimg for theseimg contribs, which apparently did nothing but "wasting the time of good editors".

19

If you’re unfairly blocked at CP you’re on your own. Nobody else is allowed to help you. Complaining about bad blocks is shamefulimg img according to TK.

19

Abdul is a Moslemimg. He talked back to teh Assflyimg then did it againimg. He inserted accurate informationimg about Christian bigotry. They must find an excuse to block him. You've got to figure out how to join the teamimg...or you're blockedimg.

11

Uh, Joaquín...you do realize that King Arthurimg was fictional, right? And why did you leave Charles Darwin out?

31

Aschlafly unexpectedly banhammers Human for "a silly pattern of editing"img and other transgressions (like being blocked before and having a fake name). Sideways queriesimg the block but falls afoul of a TK revert and a crafty range blockimg (of the UK-based ISP Tiscali). But Sideways won't take it lying down.img img Update That's funny, Geo.plrd pulls an almost identical range blockimg not long after Sideways' post. Whatever could it all mean? Predictable update: Andy really doesn't give a damn.img And finally: Sideways is permabannedimg for dodging the range block by using the same proxy IP as some unrelated vandals.

8

Andy shows exactly why we don't "teach the controversy" and let kids decide for themselves what they think is right: "Most Influential Person in American History"img. Ronald Reagan and Thomas Edison were more influential than Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers?

18

You say po-tay-to, troll says po-tah-toimg. Even if it was short-lived, the drive-by lulz is worth watching. UPDATE: Srosenberg reverts the 'troll'img, but Karajou seems to think calling Christianity a 'religion' is 'vandalism'img, and reverts it back to 'tax scam and pedophile ring'img.

-8

TK really may have more brains than a toadimg.

11

More Conservapiracyimg. Joaquin claims fair use; site claims "Unless otherwise noted, all text and graphics on this website (yeodoug.com) are ©1996-2006 by Douglas Yeo. All rights reserved."

19

Obama definitely won't use the Koranimg. Will they change the article? UPDATE-A-RIFFIC! Apparently Bugler thinks an Evangelical Christian Minister might think the Koran is a swell idea after allimg. The More You Know I spot a Poe!img TEH ASSFLY SPEAKETH Naive or malicious? I choose malicious.img

-11

He tried so hard to find a use for Ed's {{years ago}} template.img

11

No, Andy. The voices in your head don't count as studentsimg.

6

Rod's parody paranoia reaches new heights. "Maybe some of our hymns are *gasp* librullimg".

-2

"I can write"img says Special Ed. Just really badlyimg.

15

RodWeathers never took a biology classimg (or possibly slept through it). The mammal order is filled with examples of altruistic social behavior leading to the survival of the population (primates, for example, are extremely social and altruistic). UPDATE "Evolution is not about the population!"img Uh, Rod? That's exactly what evolution is about. DOLPHINS I meant cats nursing non-cats and dolphins helping humans!img Sure, Rod. Sure.

7

TeaK: You Brits should learn American spelling and stop being rational.img TK blocked Sakyamuni08img for telling the truth . That's typical injustice.

-18

C'mon, don't make your parodist account so noticeable!img Torched!img

12

Sadly enough, thisimg is about as much of a compromise as you'll ever get on CP: "Mayyyyybe there was a conservative in the last century who made a sorta-kinda bigoted statement. But you're still not allowed to say so in mainspace! And always remember: If he did something bad, he was of course No True Conservative. Nuh-uh."

13

TCochrane gets reasonable edits revertedimg and a banimg. His crime? Ignoring Andy's hatred of "liberal spin."img UPDATE Doesn't Ed ever get a 90/10 ban?img GOAT Ed gets last wordism.img DADDY LOVE Talk down to the contributor working for free, Ed.img

10

TeaK wants people to know one of his guiding principles is from a character portrayed by Shatnerimg.

7

Andy: CP does not have a YEC viewpointimg! Conservative: Yes it does!img

20

AlexanderParodistM: "Please unprotectimg Premarital sex." Ed: (makes the obligatory joke)img AlexanderM: "Thank you sir may I have another."img Aschlafly is married. It's too late for premarital sex so he (rolls over and goes back to sleep)img

20

And there we have it.img But remember, CP is not a right-wing site.

9

Andy's idea of a good learning environment: Shut itimg, peasant, and get back to work!

-15

Creation Science in action.img Sound reasoning is BAD! Bad, I tell you!

27

There have neverimg been any Christians who have bombed abortion clinics. OK, let's justimg pretendimg those incidents never really happened.

9

RJJensen goes to town through the pics in the Life archivesimg, ain't he? Well, parts of the picsimg, anyhow. Oh, and this one's cute, "No copyright source"img. Maybe...on the page you got it from?

22

Meritocracy in action: Jpatt: "We should make people earnimg news post tokens by contributingimg Wanted Pages." DeanS: "Great idea, but let's make sureimg to treat liberals as second-class citizens! No tokens for them!"

1

Gallery of American Heroes - see also: Andre Agassiimg

14

Bugler: Honi soit qui mal y pense!img Or, for those of you who prefer English, "Shame on him who suspects illicit motivation!" According to Wikipedia, this is usually used ironically, or, in this case, by a parodist admitting he is a parodist by ironically denying it.

5

In order to beef up the Science of Global Warming (denial), jpatt offers up expert commentaryimg by a man deep in the pockets of the coal industry and a retired geologist. Trusworthy, indeed.

-8

Breadan43 makes sure CP users know who the liberals are.img And in case you didn't know, theseimg areimg alsoimg liberalsimg. Now you can always tell the bad guys!

-15

JY23img, the nextimg Ed Poorimg.

11

Vandalismimg is now saying the USA was founded by secularistsimg. What will it be next? Denying that all professors are satanists or that all actors in Hollywood are drug-addled homosexuals? Later they unblocked him and said sorry. The chances are the user will stop contributing after he's seen the ban window.

43

Ed, I understand that they all sort of look alike to you, but it's Magic Johnson who is HIV-positive (but is not "AIDS-infected" yet), not Michael Jordanimg. Well, we could always put the heroes to a vote...Nah, maybe then John McCain's picture would get too big for the page...

19

How do you prepare students for standardized tests?img Ask them to "contrast President Ronald Reagan with President Bill Clinton," cite history to answer "what is the most important threat to the future of America," and critically reason "using American history as your guide, predict what will happen in the first two years of the Obama Administration." People pay money for this australopithecene to teach their kids?

21

"We need help"img. You don't say! "We need to get actual scientists to write this article. It's too complex for us laymen." Among the many other scientific articles on CP, written by non-scientists, criticizing sound, accepted science? But what if those scientists don't put in "the facts" you want? Then what?

-4

Maybe we need a moratorium on Ed lulz. Or maybe Ed needs to stop being funny?img Now Ed wants facts to support someone's edits; nevermind how often Ed shoots the foot he has in his mouth.

9

Ed, science is not your strong point. Should you really categorize "Darwinism" as pseudoscience?img

-12

Uh, Ed? You're not hip. Don't try.img

-4

Moar Ed stubbingimg. This time, "scripture and reason," which is almost a parody of CP itself. "For he opposes to the truth not the meaning of the Bible, which is beyond his comprehension, but rather his own interpretation; not what is in the Bible, but what he has found in himself and imagines to be there." How soon before St. Augustine is banned from CP for being a liberal?

0

After insisting scientific controversies can't be resolved, Ed sets outimg to prove Galileo had no issues with the church. Now the Bible says that the sun and moon stood still. (Joshua 10:13) Perhaps little Ed hadn't studied the Bible and didn't know that. More. Ed claims Galileo's article needed to be scrubbed of anti-religious, liberal bias unless someone could find proof. So Edimg findsimg someimg.

-4

Helping to defend the future, Sara Connor signs up for an account, then posts a 3,000 character advertisement article for Vocalcomimg. Wikispam, the wave of the future! Also: John Titorimg, visitor from the future, made an appearance.

9

Seeing as you blew offimg her concerns about folks overstepping their authority, Ed, you really should be a bit less cavalier about dropping writing assignmentsimg on her. Just sayin'. UPDATE Arigatouimg, but no thanks.

17

Ed's stubbing continuesimg: "Scientific controversy when multiple scientists assert different viewpoints on a scientific matter. There is no particular method for resolving a scientific debate." Apparently Ed's never heard of experiments? Update Ed's example of a modern day scientific controversyimg is Galileo and the telescope. MOAR COWBELL Ed immediately deletesimg his idiotic example (that also refutes his original claim). RELATED LULZ I dunno Ed, maybe you could ask Richard Lenskiimg?

BRichtigen makes a good point: "If you want to have good contributions to this site, you have to care for a pleasant working environment."img This should earn him a lengthy ban. Will it be for 90/10 violation? Not minding his own business? Improper discussion? Liberal vandalism? Proxy usage? Pool's open, just ten for a square! UPDATE Ed offers to take it offsite.img UPDATE Jessica adds goatsimg to the thread.

On the Conservapedia front page it says that a few scientists are sceptical about Global warming. Now an awful lot of respected scientists are convinced Global Warming is real. See The British Royal Society for an example. The Scientific American also believes global warming is real. Aschlafly must think he's such a genius that he understands science better than meteorologists and others whose job is working out what's happening with climate change. People get killed in hurricanes, floods droughts and other problems that Global Warming causes. Deliberately ignoring the evidence comes close to homicide. What does Aschlafly think should happenimg to those guilty of homicide.

16

Aww, isn't that cute? He's pretending to be a lawyer!img MOAR Okay, doctors don't inform their patients of risks to avoid malpractice suits, and a historian intimately familiar with the Illinois constitution has anti-republican views. Did Andy blackmail his way through law schoolimg, or what?

PhilipV thought the nasty stuff in Mystery:Why Do Non-Conservatives Exist?img deserves an apology. PhilipV got teh blockieimg (twice!) instead of an apology. Conservatives may insult others. It's naughty if Liberals complain about it.

Teen pregnancy is up in America. So says our favourite trustworthy encyclopaedia. The link [1] points out that teen mothers are more likely to become or remain poor and their kids have more problems.

Wait, is Andy "everyone should recognize the greatness of American English" Schlafly using British phrasing?img

12

Ooh, that'simg gonna leave a mark!

Ed Poor weighs in on God's Willimg: "Knowing God's will is the key to prayer, spiritual growth and fruitfulness in our individual lives." Then links to an external site's article. Ed's stubbing is getting thinner and thinner, and far less important. Now Ed, Do you study the word of the Bible or the words of Moonies?

22

Admins at their best. According to Ed, CP can use various images, just because we say soimg. Na-na-nana-na. Just because the site says no reproduction or republication without written permission doesn't actually mean we need permission.

American History Homework Twelve Answers - Student 25img says "Russia" when he means the entire USSR, says that the Vietnam and Korean wars were "the two wars that caused immense casualties between 145 and 1980", is impressed by Jackie Robinson "because baseball is shown everywhere so he received a lot bad criticism and hate", says Lyndon Johnson was known "for his ability to shove everyone out of his way", and claims that the "Warren court was anti-God they made a lot of bad and unmoral decisions". What grade does this startling oversimplification of American politics and butchering of English grammar earn Student 25? "Perfect answers! Superb. May use this as a model! 70/70. Congratulations!" Yeah, I'm sure this is preparing kids really well for the AP tests. Especially since, among fourteen papersimg, everybody got either 70/70 or 100/100 except for one 69/70 and one 99/100.

Can you suck up the teacher too much?img No, you can't!img

32

So a new user comes inimg and makes a flurry of Cognitive Science changes to articles. The result? Permabanimg for "inserting gibberish or nonsense" and a deletionimg of otherwise good edits, and an assertion he is a vandal/parodist?!img. Vey to go Ed! UPDATE Ken undoesimg Ed's "whimsical" block.

My Jesus is about hellfireimg, not that liberal "forgiveness" crap!

No conflict of interestimg there, nosir! Maybe Ken's upset since nobody seems to really care about his rants over there lately. Extra Lulz "Now that everyone's stated what name they'd like on the award, I'll go have it made under the name I want insteadimg." Embarrassingly Stupid Ken favours historical figures over contemporaryimg while discussing an award where he pushed for the exact opposite.

19

Asking a court to boot a corrupt governor from office is demanding judicial activismimg. But it is, of course, perfectly all right to ask a court to boot the President-elect because Conservapedia doesn't like his birth certificate!img

Sarah Palin's church was torched. The culprits have not been identified yet (there is not even proof that the fire was started deliberately, and for all anyone knows she could have done it herself to snag some sympathy [2]), the KKK has a record of burning churches [3] but God has apparently told Conservapedia that the atheists did it!img

7

Accusing someone of drug useimg, perfectly okay. In fact, "keep up the good work"img! Asking for an apologyimg = a block for insulting behaviourimg. I guess calling someone an idiot was a compliment then?

Ken to Jessica:img "It's hard to resist the sweet reasonableness of a tender hearted Conservapedian of the female persuasion. :)" Awww, shucks! Ken's pretending to be straight! Update: Ken broke the link. Updated.

Bugler: "You are an idiot"img (and 61 other insults towards 4 sysops and a (formerly) respected editor) -- verbal warning for personal remarksimg

HelpJazz: "Do you see any incongruity here??"img -- 1 WEEK block for personal remarksimg, Later unblockedimg, probably because we drew attention to it.
Conclusion: To avoid being blocked for personal remarks, make sure the remarks are really nasty. The nicer you are, the less Ed wants you to contribute to the project.

Bugler brings the "awfullness (sic)"img "Stimulated by an earlier discussion, I thought it would be an idea to try and work out a 'ranking of awfullness' here." Strangely, Bugler means Communist regimes of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It's those darn 8th century communists that were the worst...

Yale sez: "Another problem with user-generated content (and social networking in general) is the tendency toward groupthink.

Conservapedia Deceit: Dismiss that which doesn't fit. Conservative adds a paragraph about Teen Challengeimg to the "Atheism and Mental and Physical Health" article, claiming a high cure rate of religious detoxification. Problem?

Bugler Gone Wild: In a report discussing a British advisor proposing new guidelines for what to teach children in primary school so they will have better skills when they reach secondary school, Bugler believes the intention of eliminating history from primary schooling is "that a knowledge of history will show them what socialism leads to"img. And Andy wonders why it's difficult to tell parody from reality with CP editors.

23

This post goes a long way to explaining Andy's behavior. First, he thinks an album image of a nude child is "sexual," and second, he thinks that teenagers looking for porn go straight to... Wikipedia?img

Ed Poor's stubbing: "Racial equality"img: "Racial equality means equal treatment of people of different 'race's (i.e., white, Asian, red, brown, black). An attempt was made by Japan to add a 'racial equality clause' into the charter (or covenant?) of the League of Nations, but Australia and America opposed it." Besides the lack of history Ed Poor shows in why Japan tried to add such a clause (and why it was important in context of history, racial equality and the dissolution of the League of Nations), who the hell still calls people "red" or "brown" anymore?

Oh the stupid part deux!img Another awful, grammatically challenged stub added to CP. The author of the page, RickD, pleads, "I really do love this book. I wrote it on wikipedia. I was desparate to make sure it had a chance to stay there. CP Editors, please feel free to remove the offending bits."img Instead, the article implies the book does nothing more than try to find God, Christianity or faith in nearly everything and everyone, even when it introduces scientific concepts (such as minerals). UPDATE Ed reads WIGO. Movedimg to user space.

Another sample of Law 101 at Conservapedia: "fair use photo for commentary"img means uploading an image found online to put into an article (note: No commentary on the photo itself, nor any fair use apparent on the only article linking it; no copyright or author information, either). As easily found with TinEye, the image was stolen from the cover of "Super-Duty Earthmovers" and cropped so as to remove the title, the author's name, and the words "Copyrighted Material".

The adulteress should have been stoned to death. Is that what Aschlafly thinks? Yesimg. C Palmer added a category, nothing more. Here's a better Christian explanation.

Why not in the original gospel texts? The only speculation I have seen suggested is that this text was not included in a final gospel product because it seemed to have been too easy on those who committed sexual sin. However, I think a far more practical reason can be offered. In the process of composing his Gospel, Luke, following standard literary practice for the time, would have compiled notes which he later collected and collated into a full text. The pericope would be well designated as one of Luke's original "loose leaf" notes that didn't make the cut to the final gospel. Why? The pericope fits quite well in the context where it is sometimes placed in Luke (after 21:38). But it is also immediately before the Passion narrative. Luke's Gospel is just about the right size for a typical ancient scroll, so the omission of this pericope from his Gospel may have been for a no less practical reason than that Luke saw that he was running out of writing room! [5]

Ed's advice to teh gays: Grow up and get marriedimg.

Showing off his liberal styleimg (namely, numbers 7, 12, 22, 37, 38 for conservatives, and 43), Andy mocks those complaining about the Romanian ministry's removal of the Theory of Evolution from high schools, and its replacement with theology class: "Sour grapes by the atheists. There is nothing wrong with requiring students to take religion classes, which would not require anyone to accept a particular religion as their own. But there is something wrong with requiring students to believe in evolution, as public schools do in the U.S."img

Never one to miss a trick, Andy reminds us all today is Pearl Harbour Day... and that darn mooslum Obama got it wrongimg.

Ed Poor's new category: Movies with a gay cupidimg. "These movies feature a homosexual character - usually male - who unselfishly facilitates a heterosexual relationship." More Wikipedia bias shown, as the only movie Ed Poor includes in the category, My Best Friend's Wedding, does not list any homosexual or cupid categories on the liberal wiki. (end sarcasm)

Abortion Hurts Womenimg while twisted logic (aka "This is a web resolution image used purely for an educational article about the image subject by a non-commercial site; it is believed its use here does not impede the rights of the licence [sic] holder.") hurts the brain. DeanS should probably have read the licensing terms of LifeNews.com where he stole the image: "Use of LifeNews.com Content by Nonprofit Organizations/Pro-life organizations, churches, or other nonprofit groups that support the pro-life perspective may obtain a news licensing agreement to republish news from LifeNews.com in your newsletter at a lower cost." Educational use is not the same as posting the image freely on a website used by schools, but accessible by all. Isn't Andy a lawyer, and shouldn't he make this very clear to his sysops?

Philip J. Rayment, comedian. "Presumptions are not evidence."img Uh, Phil? Pal? You're on Conservapedia, where Creation, resurrection and magical arks are considered truths, without any evidence.

DeanS quotes "Saxby's Win: 08's Most Intellectually Pure Contest" from an American Thinker article by C. Edmund Wright, filled with grammatical errors. Really, guys, "Democrat" is not an adjective.

Aschlafly thinks that was a nice blockimg. Note! He hasn’t tried to counter the arguments in the links that CharlesG madeimg. Perhaps he knows he can’t. "

Run foul of Hitler? you might get demotedimg

Andy: "Ask a reasonableimg question huh? Well I guess the only way to answer that is with sarcasmimg. Someone dares to ask me to do something as stupid as be politeimg? Well take thatimg and thatimg"

"Left Hand, Right Hand" again: Ed "Destroyer of Articles" Poor walks intoimg the Sci-Fi article, meetsimg Ieuan and promptly blocksimg him for an hour. Ieuan is not amusedimg and instantly getsimg a one-week block. And then cometh Karajou, who replies to the "not amused" post with "Now, why do I like this answer?"img

Before engaging in a panegyric to his mother, Andy Schlafly discusses the space race.img Highlights reel: referring to the moon landing as a "simulated broadcast of American Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the Moon", and calling Sputnik the first manned spaceflight. Epic fail. UPDATE: Andy corrects his own error (does he read the "place that shall not be named?"): "Sputnik unmanned"img

Andy's new image source: Google Public Domain Image Libraryimg - ...wait, what?

From now on, December 2 will be known as "Everybodyimg hatesimg Henry"img Day.

Frey:img "Why was that user blocked?" - TK:img "MYOB." - Alan:img "Here is the reason." - Henry:img "Wait, what?" - Bugler:img "SILENCE!" *blocksimg Alan* - Will:img "Dude..." - Bugler: "I KEELimg YOU!" Update: Wheel war in the block logs! Oh snap: TK:img "The correct question is: Do any of you want to provoke me into some action I will not regret?" (actual quote) - while Henry requestsimg backup from He Who Won't Listen. Slow learner's edition update: While Bugler suggestsimg that Henry should be retired take a break, Liam steps into the minefieldimg and promptly dies.img Update More wheel wars. Tim unblocks. And: Andy speaks! His message? "73.1 million page views!!"img Did anyone really think he'd actually focus on his guard dogs going nuts? Surprise, surprise: TK dragsimg Henry into mail-space and retcon-justifies the initial block using informationimg Rod didn't even have. Henry admits he was wrong.img

Is Ed making fun of Phil,img or does he actually wear a yarmulke just for shits & giggles?

No more than a few hours after receiving MOAR POWERimg (Check user), TK immediately starts to bullyimg other administrators. Some great statements in the section already: TK starts off the section with "CP has an owner, it is his absolute right to have whatever viewpoint he wants"img and later hints that, as an administrator, means total agreement with Andyimg or else demotion should follow. Bugler helps by adding that "[Andy] is rightly the arbiter of what constitutes truth."img Ed Poor joins inimg, which again are obvious attempts to protect TK and Bugler without naming/blocking them.

25

Blocking oneselfimg to follow policy of recreating using first name and last initial to avoid hypocrisy, ideology, or abuse, is actually just like asking for equality in testsimg.

Joaquin Martinez blocks Phil Rayment.img Phil's reaction is the same as mine: "Huh!?"

It's spot the difference time!!! According to Ed Poor, closing gaps in elementary subjects in mathsimg isn't good enough. Instead, you have to write articles on elementary subjects in mathsimg.

So much wrongness in just twoimg postsimg by Bugler: Foxtrot is now considered to be a sysop, Bugler is in charge of the Abuse Helpdesk, and abuse tickets are handled by means of "Stop complaining and get back to work, scum!"

26

Consider this: the very definition of "insanity" is doing something twice, and expecting it to be different the second time. But, like the mouse taking a second bite at the electrified pellet, Andy welcomed TK back into the brotherhood of the banhammer.img How many cheeks does this man have left to turn? Perhaps Aschlafly thinks TK understands now that little boys like TK can't go too far. TK may or may not have learned from those blocks. In any case TK is cleverer than teh Assfly and will win out.

The Ed Poor method: start an article,img then ask yourself to expand it.img

Ken fell asleep on the period key.img

Ed's obsession with censoring information he doesn't like meets CP's great consensus system (a.k.a. "I have the banhammer, so I decide what consensus is."): Ed: "I don't like this movie. Let's mergeimg it into obscurity." - Others: "Mh... maybe? Maybe not?"img - Ed: "Nobody merges it, so I shall reduce it to a stubimg without merging the information anywhere." Which prompts others do some damage controlimg with the result that Ed's merge "suggestion" went through anyway. Tangential update: "Needs moar scarlet letter!"img

Greed is bad.img A pity that they didn't tell us that sooner.img

Oh joy: Little by little, TK is working his way towards full powerimg again. (And before anybody asks: Siteadmin = Can lock database) UPDATE: The stupid, it burns! Andy decides to drag in the wooden horseimg.
