Yes, unfortunately. The fundies are behind it so it's exceedingly selective and about as bigoted as you can imagine.
Conservapedia is re-writing the Bible for US fundies - taking out all the "liberal bias" and replacing it with American wingnut doctrine. Conservapedia, though, is also re-writing the whole of human knowledge and experience to get rid of any "liberal bias". Not surprisingly there are a pile f choice quotes from Conservapedia on Fundies Say the Darndest Things.
There;s big money behind it all as well. Conservapedia is headed up by bAndy Schlafly (otherwise an obscure non-entity). Mummy (Phylis Schlafly - a millionairess wingnut who made her money through marriage) is the prime source of dosh.
Does anyone here get te feeling that the USA has lost the plot£
