Oh, FFS, these are CONSERVATIVES. They probably meant George Lincoln Rockwell.

Scroll down to the bottom...

His name is situated between Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, and Ronald Reagun.

Apparently, George Orwell being a Democratic Socialist does not bother Conservapedia idiots as long as they can take his success and tie it to their ideology.

Also notice the "ideology" of conservatism, including: Logic, Homeschooling, and "constitution". It also lists "Free market" and "Charity" as the ideals of conservatism. Talk about hypocrisy.

That site has to be a parody! I'm convinced of it.

Face it, American conservatives are either really stupid or completely disingenuous. Most of them are both. They love to rewrite history to fit their views. They even have this image of Ronald Reagan, their hero, that doesn't actually fit with reality.

This page convinced me the site was a troll:

They are discredited and lampooned by correctly biased internet sources, including Conservapedia.

So Orwell is a let the billionaires keep fucking us conservative.

Shouldn't be so surprising though, they do claim Jesus as one of them after all.

The only conflict with the Jesus thing is, most Conservative politicians on the Hill are rich. As are the Televangelists that represent his alleged teachings, while living a lifestyle that has nothing to do with what Jesus taught at all. (Besides the fact the Bible Jesus version never existed)

Jesus on How the Rich Get to Heaven (Mark 10:17-25)

It's the same with any leadership. They profit enormously by seducing people into believing if the people follow them, they'll be saved. Saved from policies that that politician promises to change if elected. Saved from sin that god manifest for them to fall under and ever fear they shall succumb to, while the rich preacher promises to lead them to the keys that allow them entry into the kingdom. Members only, of course.

Politics and Religion. Give power to leadership who live higher than their followers, by policy.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."

Well, that depends on your definition of "The site."

As you might have known, the site is run by Andrew Schlafly, who is the son of conservative speaker Phyllis Schlafly. By all accounts, he is, in fact, this crazy and stupid.

As I think I've mentioned before, though, it seems that Schlafly has been trying to keep trolls off the forum, and he seems to define trolls as "somebody who is not willing to act as batshit insane as I am." As a result of his King Lear-like judgement (so much so that I actually wrote a paper comparing the status quo on Conservapedia with the opening scene of King Lear) , many legitimate conservatives have been banned from the site for acting sane enough that they don't recognise sites like the CDC as mere liberal claptrap, and it's actually quite likely that many of the people who are active users are actual parodists.

Here's just one example of how messed up it is. For explaining how problematic Schlafly's banning is, he is promptly banned.
