Conservapedia


While looking up more information about Wikipedia, I found something really interesting called Conservapedia. This may not be new to some of you, but I personally had no idea this was out there. As defined by Wikipedia, Conserapedia is "a wiki-based web encyclopedia project written from a socially conservative, Conservative Christian, and American viewpoint." It was started in November 2006, by a lawyer and history teacher. They felt that "the open-source web encyclopedia Wikipedia had a liberal, anti-Christian, and anti-American bias," and thus they needed to provide a conservative perspective. On the site, they include daily news stories, and Bible verses. It is actually quite interesting to see how it differs form Wikipedia. I even found a Comedy Central Youtube video about Conservapedia, which is pretty funny.

Theres also a www.godtube.com, the christian conservative answer to youtube. I guess every mainstream site is liberal by default and needs a conservative counterpart.
