You know, politics are very funny sometimes. Some of us humans have their beliefs and we pick out the party that matches them and then go on to become raving lunatics. Just like the religious fanatical, if someone is a liberal or a conservative they will deny the existence of anything else other than what the man or woman at the top is saying.
And out of this comes Little Democrats and Conservapedia. Little Dems is a series of kid’s books that explain to the future liberal why his parents are the way they are. Passages like, “Democrats make sure that we share our toys/go to school like mommy does” alongside old school, illustrated pictures. It’s like cigarettes: you gotta hook ‘em young.
Conserveapedia is a whole different beast. Set up to be the “truthful” version of wiki, the site’s manifesto is, “The truth shall set you free.” And what truths are on the site? We’ll take a look at Democratic candidate, Barack Obama:
– In 2007, Obama was the most liberal Senator. If elected, Obama would be the first Affirmative Action President.
I’d give you a line or two for the entry about homosexuality, but it’s way too insane for the internet. Let’s just put it this way: one of the topic headers is as follows: Sexual Abuse as a Contributing Factor For Homosexuality.
Check Conserveapedia out and be scared!
When conservopedia starts coming packaged for little kids then these are apt comparisons. One is a website (although sometimes tacky) designed to correct the record from a conservative slant. The other is liberal indoctrination thinly disguised as a childrens book, with its intent being to not help someone make up their mind but to make their mind up for them.
I like how nobody agrees.
