It's time to revisit Conservapedia, the online source for everything (except for cheesy potatoes that is) from a conservative point of view. Their entry on homosexuality seems to have settled down, the editors seem to agree that homosexuality is not genetic (based on some study vaguely mentioned and not linked to) and there is no homosexuality in nature because though animals do engage in it, it's still wrong so it doesn't count.
So I thought I'd try another subject. The United States of America.
The United States of America (commonly referred to as America) was founded in 1776 by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the other Founding Fathers and formally established as the United States by the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788.Everything you need to know about the USA. Seriously, that's it. They do include this at the top of the page though..
The Declaration of Independence acknowledges the existence of a God when it refers to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and says all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," though the latter statement was made by Unitarian Thomas Jefferson. Conservatives argue that most of the Founding Fathers were Christians and that, explicitly or not, the United States was founded upon the principles and ideals of Christianity. However, the freedom of Religion (stating that the government cannot interfere in the conduct of religious groups) is a fundamental aspect of the First Amendment to the Constitution.

I find it hard to believe that nobody there has anything more to say on this rather important subject. I can only guess that it's a hotly contested debate on what to put in and what to leave out, and the only thing they can all agree on is this portion here. It's been recently updated, with the word "Christianity" replacing "Rastafarianism" which was somebody's unappreciated opinion.
So if you want to add to this entry, you're welcome to sign up and go ahead. You've got to follow the Commandments though.

You gotta love the inanity/insanity of ultra-right wingers who "demand to be heard" They make the case for the left better than the left themselves. Like the horribly unfunny response to "The Daily Show" Fox are trying to get people to watch.
You've got to sayt it, despite the misery this sort of extremism is capable of creating, it's incomparably funny. I mean, gosh... they're so strict! You've got to laugh when their rigidity extends to saying, "As much as is possible, American spelling of words must be used". It's ridiculous. It has that silliness about it that kinda reminds me of an old BBC anarchic comedy program in which a medieval character was brutally punished for, "whistling on a Tuesday!". To further the comedic effect, when this heinous crime was revealed there was an audible gasp and a horrified voice uttered, "bastard!". Fucking madness, all of it.
Ah yes, if only they could introduce suitable punishments for those or use BCE instead of BC for instace, they could make you have to stand in the middle of a circle of people, and everyone gets their turn to come up to you and insult you anyway they like, "you're a fat tosser" or "you suck" or whatever and afterwards dump a bucket of something nasty on you.. for example.
