Liberal Myths - Conservapedia
http://www.conservapedia.com/Liberal_myths

I know I posted this in humor, but dont let it fool you. The people who posted this material are VERY serious about their claims

The claim that Animals make a conscience choice to be gay.

The claim that the Bush tax cuts have not helped the economy.
Anthropogenic Global Warming. [5]

The claim that enabling oil drilling will not provide energy security.[9]
The claim that same-sex couple adoptions can replace the love from a mother and a father. [10]
The claim that an individuals sexual preference needs to be a protected civil right. [11]
That there is a vast right-wing conspiracy [12]
The claim that opposing the homosexual agenda is bigotry. [13]

The claim that big government will benefit its' citizens. [18]
The claim that military recruits are poor and uneducated. [19] [20] [21]
The claim that government run healthcare is better than a capitalist healthcare system. [22]
They claim that going on the offense against terrorists creates more terrorists. [23]
They claim that terrorism should be handled by law enforcement. [24] [25]
They claim that the USA should negotiate with rogue nations and terror groups.
They claim that socialism is superior to capitalism.
They claim that there is a gene which causes people to be gay, despite the fact that the scientific community rejects this view
They claim that humans and apes have a common ancestor
They claim that the death penalty does not deter crime, despite the overwhelming evidence showing that the death penalty does deter crime
They claim that atheists are just as moral as Christians who regularly go to a church, or, in some cases, claim atheists are morally superior.
They claim that all religions teach the same thing.
They claim that intelligent design is not a science and has no evidence.
They claim that no climatologist or physicist rejects global warming, despite the fact that the founder of The Weather Channel rejects global warming, as do thousands of other scientists.
They claim Hitler was a Catholic.
They claim opposition to Obama is racism.
They claim the general welfare clause in the Constitution gives government the right to force you to buy government-run healthcare.
They claim Jesus was the first socialist.
They claim affirmative action works.
They claim the Old Testament is immoral.
They claim that the Jews aren't the Jews of the Bible.
They claim that feminism has no bias.
They claim homosexuals do not try to convert heterosexuals.

They claim that proper tire inflation can replace the need for additional oil drilling.
That we should eat less red meat in order to combat climate change.[26]
They claim Jesus was a liberal, or that Jesus was left-wing[27].
The claim that the Nation of Islam is unrelated to Islam the religion.
The claim that portable school vouchers would destroy public schools, yet send their own children to private schools.
The claim that if you are pro-life, you don't care about people after they're born. [28]
The claim that more black people died in wars of America than in abortion. 1,786 blacks are killed daily by abortion, one of two pregnant women will be suckered into pro-choice genocide. [1]
The claim that renaming War on Terror to Overseas Contingency Operation will reduce the threats facing America.
The claim to cutback our country's missile defenses will some how make us more secure than we were.
The claim that the nation will go bankrupt if we don't spend more tax dollars.
We as a nation must switch to unproven technologies for the environments sake, such as wind or solar power. Yet, proven clean energy generated by nuclear power is not an option.
The claim that you are not pro-life if you are pro-gun.
The claim that guns are responsible for deaths. (by that same logic, pencils are responsible for misspelled words.)
The claim that 47 million Americans don't have health insurance. (Actual number is between 10 and 15 million) [29]
The claim that homosexuality cannot be overcome by therapy and prayer.
The claim that homosexuality is inherent to a person's biology and not a choice of lifestyle.
The claim that higher income earners in America aren't paying their "fair share".

Other highlights include:

Quote:Those liberals that use the myth and regularly bash the USA are often called the "Blame America First" crowd. Though they never seem to mention that America gives more in donations, in total dollars, than any other country on Earth. [35] A sure way to change America's image in the world is to show the world we respect life. The repeal of Roe Vs. Wade would be a start.

Reasons why America was hated prior to 2003 include wealth, women's rights, support for our democratic ally Israel, democratic government, capitalist economy and exporting immorality.

..and...

The usual claims that you can only be patriotic if you are right wing conservative capitalist. That Bush didnt cause the recession (it was a mixture of liberals and rino's that did it). That you cant support the troops but oppose which war they are in. Yadda yadda yadda

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.

I will keep you all up to date on Conservapedia as time goes by.

It quite honestly fills me with fear that there are people who would read that, and nod their head thinking it was 100% fact.

Quite a few of the statements have a tiny amount of truth to cover for the outrageous lie.

I don't care if you have right wing views, you're welcome to them if thats what you believe, but at least have some thought behind them. People who let others do their thinking for them are living a half-life imo.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.

Oh sure, there is about 10% truth in this list, which makes the lies go down easier.

Some of these statements also confuse "liberal" with "leftist". Liberals dont mind capitalism. Leftists dispise it.

No, they really aren't. I think I get to decide who "my" people are.

Conservapedia worships Ronald Reagan. Reagan said the heart of the conservative movement was Libertarianism.

What passes for "conservatives" in this country (more accurately, fascists by the standards of even recent American history and by the standards of the rest of the world) have been confusing "socialism" with everything to the left of arch-conservative for about 10 years now.

Correction, Conservapedia worships the icon of Ronald Reagan, who was as real as the miracle-working godman Jesus.

The real Ronald Reagan raised taxes, cut and ran in Lebanon, met unconditionally with adversaries and was in some respects to the left of our current "liberal" president.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

Exactly correct about Reagan. He had good media and good history re-writers. Reagan did say that about conservatism, but Im too lazy to look it up and source it for you :-)

I was alive and well during Reagan, I was going to highschool at the time. Quite frankly I have caught myself wishing a return of Reagan, as Reagan was much more left wing than Obama is.
