Conservatipedia

Conservatipedia is a blog owned by Chris Francis. It is believed to be a parody, though nothing of that nature has ever been proven (see Poe's law). In a post answering the satire question, Francis said: "It must be hard for seculars to handle the fact that there are real people out there that follow God's words and live by it."[1] There hasn't been any indication of parody found in the HTML code of the site. Rumours have circulated[citation needed] that these are members from Conservapedia that wanted to help support the site and write with a more offensive tone. The site uses the slogan: "battling the liberal bias of the internet".

This article is about the crazy fundie blog. For the slightly less crazy fundie blog, see Conservapedia.

2008 U.S. election

Conservatipedia endorsed Mike Huckabee as the candidate of choice for the Republican Party. It declared that John McCain is a "filthy liberal"[2] and Mitt Romney is a "filthy mormon"[3]. Links to Mike Huckabee's website are found under the conservative links menu. Huckabee is also suspected of being a parodist.

Claims

The blogger declares such things as:

  • "Madonna has AIDS", which he claims is divine punishment for having anal sex.
  • "A strong belief in our Lord Jesus Christ is really the only cure for aids."
  • "All Moslems should be put into concentration camps."
  • "Atheists are out to get your children".

Reaction

A few people comment on the blog posts, and seem to be roughly split between those who think it's a parody and those who are just horrified.

The Party's Over

The final post on the blog, dated to October 31st, 2013, explicitly stated the blog was an example of Poe's law in action.[4], though the author states[5] he did mix in his own beliefs. So, that's it, folks.

gollark: Then you'd miss things.
gollark: Are detectable via high entropy, although that would be a bit performance-intensive to check and might be false-positive-laden.
gollark: (1285712894 = 2048)
gollark: Nope, most can't, trilateration would need 1285712894 modems.
gollark: I mean, your spammer probably produces predictable packets so you could just discard them.
