Conservapedia is a deceitful, heavily biased and willfully ignorant wiki-based encyclopedia blog project written from a far right and fundamentalist Christian point of view. It is better viewed as an online guide to understanding how a particular segment of the American Religious Right "thinks" than as an actual encyclopedia, as the site's administrators see liberals, atheists, and homosexuals (along with whoever the "bĂȘte noire du jour" is, like Islam) as being the cause of all society's ills. Their attacks on these groups are fueled by traditionalism and jingoistic pro-Americanism, and often make liberal (zing!) use of ad hominem. This political clap-trap automatically considers somebody a liberal (whether they are or not) if they fail to toe the party line on any given issue; even the use of British spelling is considered evidence that one is of the liberal flavour flavor.
The site was founded on 21 November 2006 by Andrew Schlafly,[2] spawn of professional anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly,[3] in an attempt to offset what he perceived as an excessive liberal bias at Wikipedia.[2] Conservapedia's goal is to try to create a version of Wikipedia that has an, er...conservative bias, especially when it comes to issues where politics and fundamentalist Christianity overlap, such as creationism, evolution, sexuality, and morality. One of the most bizarre aspects of the site is its rejection of most of modern science, for example characterizing Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 as "liberal claptrap" which has no bearing on nuclear energy[4].
