Why We Love Conservapedia: Converting Liberals Through Death

Our favourite on-line encyclopedia continues to give us joy with its detailed examination of "Why Do Non-Conservatives Exist?"

The Conservapedia team has now added the scientific study "What Triggers Reconsideration of Liberal Beliefs?" Not quite sure of the methodology, apart from "making up a lot of numbers", but apparently 15% find the conservative light with the "loss of a loved one that resulted from accepting or promoting liberal values, as in losing a loved one to crime caused by pornography, drug addiction, gambling, etc."



Those dramatic findings in full:

• 25%: raising or teaching children, and realizing how destructive liberal values are to many of them


• 20%: a religious conversion followed by taking the Bible to heart


• 15%: a loss of a loved one that resulted from accepting or promoting liberal values, as in losing a loved one to crime caused by pornography, drug addiction, gambling, etc.


• 10%: a new friendship with someone who is conservative, and realizing how much good flows from the conservative values^[1]


• 10%: simply by maturing and seeing liberalism's impact around them, and realizing what they were taught as youth was wrong


• 10%: a desire to learn the truth, and a dislike for those who mislead


• 5%: using conservative values to overcome an addiction, and then realizing the benefits of conservative values in many other ways


• 5%: taking a truthful course in economics, or learning it in the workforce^[2]

An Even More Scientific Update: Why Are There Non-Conservatives?

I know. In the face of Conservapedia's brilliance and truthiness, we should just pack up and go home. However, the latest addition to the discussion of "Why do Non-Conservatives Exist?", offered by one of Conservapedia's inner circle, deserves to be treasured for eternity:

It struck me that denial of Conservative principles could be a result of incipient or presenting mental illness. Just as it has been widely demonstrated that Liberal beliefs can lead to psychiatric conditions, so there might also be a reciprocal effect.

Scientific Update: How Can There Be Non-Conservatives?

Conservapedia continues to amaze us with the rapid development of its special section, "Why do Non-Conservatives Exist?". We're especially impressed with the "scientific" calculations now defining the reasons for liberal deviance.

It's heartening, for example, to see that colleagues and I are responsible for "20% [who] refuse to let go of their...desire for a sense of acceptance by liberal friends or teachers", but I'm personally encouraged by "20% who] refuse to rise above their personal temptations, often self-destructive, to act in a way that conflicts with conservative values, such as irresponsible sexual promiscuity".

Of course, I have asked Mike Dunn to set up our own Enduring America poll to support Conservapedia's findings.



Those Scientific Findings in Full

40%: did not hear about conservative principles and the logic behind them until after they made up their mind, perhaps due to pervasive societal bias, and refuse to reconsider

20%: refuse to rise above their personal temptations, often self-destructive, to act in a way that conflicts with conservative values, such as irresponsible sexual promiscuity

20%: refuse to let go of their past, or let go of their desire for a sense of acceptance by liberal friends or teachers

10%: work in a job having a salary dependent on keeping conservatives out of power, such as public school teachers, and refuse to rise above self-interest

5%: were told off or disciplined once by a conservative, often a parent, and refuse to rise above the animosity.

5%: like an anarchist, genuinely want to believe in and propagate destructive ideas.
