When I’m in need of a chuckle, I point my browser to Conservapedia, the supposedly conservative alternative to Wikipedia. Conservapedia is basically where the far right fringe wackos turn to when they’re in need of ‘encyclopedic’ proof of the lies and bullshit they just heard on Fox News. In short, Conservapedia is to knowledge what the Creationist Museum is to science.
From the Conservapedia entry for 'Barack Hussein Obama'
Anyway, I was doing a Google search for something and accidentally stumbled upon the Conservapedia entry for Barrack Hussein Obama. Not only is it as stupid as stupid gets, it’s hilarious. Here’s the opening paragraph for the entry.
Barack Hussein Obama II also known by the alias Barry Soetoro during his time in Indonesia (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th President of the United States and the controversial recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Overcoming a short political career, Obama defeated Republican nominee John McCain for the presidency in 2008, campaigning on promises of “hope” and “change”. In effect, that change has been an embrace of socialism and liberal policies. Barack Obama has been widely criticized by the American business community and others for his anti-business policies that are killing American jobs during a period of high unemployment. Trend forecaster Gerald Celente indicates that Obama administration’s response to the the failed American economy is more war and the creation of misleading economic statistics.
Can’t you just feel the love? After that, it only gets better. Here’s what they have printed under the sub-heading Early Life.
It has been disputed by some groups whether Obama was actually born in the United States; some people allege that he was born in Kenya. On April 27, 2011 Obama officially released his long form birth certificate, which many experts have determined to be a fake and no legal body has determined its authenticity .

Ayers and Dohrn used their celebrity status among leftists to launch Obama’s career. Ayers, Dohrn and Jeff Jones are authors of Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-imperialism, the title taken from The Sayings of Mao Zedong. The book declares “we are communist men and women.” Ayers later jokingly, publicly admitted to ghostwriting Obama’s book, Dreams From My Father and Obama was to appoint several openly avowed Maoists to prominent White House and Executive Branch positions.
And in case you didn’t know…
By Obama’s third year as Commander-in-Chief, over 1200 American troops died in Iraq and Afghanistan – significantly more than the number who died during President George W. Bush’s term of office.
What about those 4100 soldiers who were killed in Iraq while George Bush was Commander-in-Chief, you ask? Shhh…never happened.
Conservapedia likes to brag that it is used as a learning tool for many children in conservative households who are homeschooled. So the next time someone asks you how a child can grow up to become a Rick Santorum an ignorant, misinformed, bigoted, self-righteous moron, now you know.

Conservatives don’t know they’re wrong. I can’t wait to see them when they find out they’re wrong.
Sorry, Brian – no matter how definitively you disprove conservatives’ beliefs, they never admit they even could be wrong.
Remember: Liberals are people who believe they are right and those who disagree with them are misguided; conservatives are people who believe they are right and those who disagree with them are wrong.
Right, wrong, it’s useless talking to “true believers”. It’s like Lord of the Flies. I’m surprised someone hasn’t had a boulder dropped on them. Since the Civil War, has it been this bad? Society seems to have devolved into two very different realities. Every discussion turns into a conspiracy within about 30 seconds… How did it come to this?
Something snapped. Something short circuited in their minds when the President was elected. Suddenly, like a time machine, half the country was transported back to the Civil War. Everyone else is looking on, thinking “What are all these fools doing running around in funny hats, and guns? screaming epitets and acting like children? What’s going on?”
So we all just stand around, looking at each other. Confused.
This article reminds me of why I appreciate the blog of Mario Piperni so much. His writings are some of the most astute, enlightening, entertaining and helpful that I have read in all the 74 years of my life. This particular article is priceless because from now on, “Conservapedia” is going to be a prime resource for me to find Radical Right Wing insanity to talk about on my own blog, The Liming Liberal Democrat.
