You're right so far, it's taking its time loading, so I can't tell how extensive of a site it is. While I wait I have to wonder, is this site for real or is it a joke? I can see some enterprising lefties putting it together in order to make fun of the wingnuts' hardheadedness.

Guess I'll have a chance when the page finally loads.

It think it was intended to be real but was so quickly overrun by hostile non-conservatives taking the piss that it now resembles a lunatic asylum. Face it, most "Christianist" conservatives aren't bright enough to hold off an onslaught of parody.

Does God hear the splat? Only if they weren't taken up in the Rapture.

Neocons don't deserve to use the Internets to sell wood or post Truthiness - it just clogs up the tubes.

The site was started by the non-gay son of Phyllis Schlafly (or however the hell you spell her name.) He's dead serious about it, and completely crazy.

The tree octopus thing actually originates on this site.

[..T]he site is a massive target for anyone with a contradictory point of view. Bill Clinton's page (http://www.conservapedia.com/Bill_Clinton), for example, contains a very obvious dig at President George W Bush: "Bill Clinton managed to serve two terms without botching the prosecution of two wars, manipulating intelligence, engaging in a systematic program of torture, or mishandling the federal response to flooding of a major American city. Obviously, he is the devil incarnate."

Yeah, the site is a joke, at least if you believe Wikipedia.
Hmmm....
