I suppose a bit of Phillys Schlafly history is in order for the younguns. Phyllis Schlafly became famous in the early 1970’s as the leader in the fight against Feminism and the Constitutional Amendment to give women equal rights under the law. Schlafly would have none of it and her cry of STOP THE ERA! was heard round the world! Much like the MLK speech though her dream was a nation of barefoot women doing what they are told to do by their betters. Schlafly is indeed the person most responsible for the ERA never being ratified.
Schlafly began the Eagle Forum in 1972 which pushed a far right-wing agenda of religious intolerance, creationism, and her life long fight against people of color, which goes under the code name "multiculturalism". Schlafly and her organizations have been most active in matters of education, seeking not only to dismantle the Department of Education, advocating forced Christian prayer in school, putting creationism in public school science classes, taking Christian children out of public schools and into home schooling, tax funded vouchers for students to go to fundamentalist religious schools also to destroy the very concept of public education. All in all, the Schlafly’s are not much different that the Taliban.
I remember doing an article about her in the early 1990’s when she came out against Geography of all things! She wanted it banned from public schools because it taught our American children about lesser places, which had lesser religions and lesser people. She is THAT KIND of a person.
Her son Andrew Schlafly founded Conservapedia in 2006. Though he has a large screw going through this head, it did not evolve there, much to the pain of Mother Phyllis, he was born with it.
When one first comes across Conservapedia one may think they have fallen into the ONION. Or perhaps a Monty Python sketch, but no, it is the real thing. It seems to be mostly about denying evolution, but it does follow in the crapprints of Fox News in that it is entirely beyond the pale of biased, unbalanced, silly, incredible, dishonest right-wing propaganda sold as the only credible source of THE TRUTH in America today! Conservapedia, the Silliest Damn thing on the Net.
Conservapedia:About
Conservapedia is a clean and concise resource for those seeking the truth. We do not allow liberal bias to deceive and distort here. Founded initially in November 2006 as a way to educate advanced, college-bound homeschoolers, this resource has grown into a marvelous source of information for students, adults and teachers alike.
As you can tell, not only is it mostly about forcing religion on children (evolution and climate change are liberal lies) but doing so in an unbiased and balanced manner!
You can get a better idea of the nature of this Beast by these two definitions:
A conservative adheres to principles of limited government, personal responsibility and moral values, agreeing with George Washington’s Farewell Address that "religion and morality are indispensable supports" to political prosperity.[
A liberal (also leftist) is someone who rejects logical and biblical standards, often for self-centered reasons. There are no coherent liberal standards; often a liberal is merely someone who craves attention, and who uses many words to say nothing. Liberalism began as a movement for individual liberties, but today is increasingly statist, and in Europe even socialistic.
So there you go! The silliest damn website in the world, Conservapedia.
