What If the Fantasy-Based Reality of Conservatives Was a Real Place?

In response to alleged biases at the user-edited Wikipedia, conservatives built their own called Conservapedia. (The culture of conservative victimhood continues.)

The fantasy-based reality constructed by conservatives has a new home on the web, in addition to right-wing blogs.

The main page explains:

Conservapedia is a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American. On Wikipedia, many of the dates are provided in the anti-Christian “C.E.” instead of “A.D.”, which Conservapedia uses. Christianity receives no credit for the great advances and discoveries it inspired, such as those of the Renaissance. Read a list of many Examples of Bias in Wikipedia.

Conservapedia is an online resource and meeting place where we favor Christianity and America. Conservapedia has easy-to-use indexes to facilitate review of topics. You will much prefer using Conservapedia compared to Wikipedia if you want concise answers free of “political correctness”.

The tagline? “A conservative encyclopedia you can trust.”

Nevermind that reference texts, like the encyclopedia, are meant to stick to facts only and be free from biases. Creating an educational resource that “favors” anything by design seizes to be a reference tool altogether.

In a way, it is a lot like the Chappelle’s Show skit where host Dave Chappelle explores what the internet would be like if it was a real place.
