The encylcopedia for (Conservative) idiots

Imagine my deep joy. I've found an encycolpedia full of information that is, shall we say, rather different to that which more mainstream encyclopedia's contain.


Want to know why Evolution is wrong?

Want to know why the Universe wasn't created in a Big Bang?


Want to know why Creationism is right?


Want to know why Global Warming doesn't exist or if it does it's a marvellous thing?

Yup, well if you do WWW.CONSERVAPEDIA.COM is the place for you. Don't Call Me Dave has been saying for a while that Barnet Council's Tories have lost touch with Conservative values. I thought that maybe they should check this "Bible of Conservatism" out. Anyway I thought I'd give you a little tour of the highlights.

There are some fascinating "Facts" which I learned on Conservapedia, as Conservapedia claims to be the Trustworthy encylopedia, I'm sure y'all be fascinated :-

Noah lived 350 more years before dying at the age of 950. All people alive today must be descendants of Noah and his family

In relation to homosexuality and smoking, the recent medical literature states the homosexual men and lesbians in the United States have significantly higher rates of cigarette smoking than heterosexual

The abstract for this study indicated that "lesbians are at greater risk for morbidity and mortality linked to overweight and obesity.

Sadly for such a useful resource, there are a few facts that this Encylopedia For Conservatives doesn't contain. For example :-

The entry for ICELAND doesn't tell you that Conservative Barnet Council lost the family silver investing in dodgy banks there

Having said that, the section on how to be a Conservative  is rather interesting. I'd recommend that the likes of Mike Freer and Brian Coleman read it, they may find this brand of Conservatism rather. I do wonder if David Cameron considers himself a Conservative if these are the criteria.

Interestingly (assuming it's true) there is a rather fascinating entry about David Cameron. There is a cracking quote from Norman Tebbit :-

Tebbit said: "Is he the party's Chairman Mao or Pol Pot, intent on purging even the memory and name of Thatcherism before building a new modern compassionate green globally aware party somewhere on the left side of the middle?"

There are many things about this site which are hilarious, but for a site which professes to promote Free Speech and truth, rule 7 is the best :-

 The senseless changing of American to British spellings may result in blocking.

So there you go. If you want to find out how to be a proper Conservative, you know where to look. 

Lord Tebbit = Dangerous idiot

Today Norman Tebbit called for electors to boycott the big parties. He claims that he doesn't want people to vote BNP and there are lots of other small parties with which they can register their votes with. Either Tebbit is more stupid than we thought or he's playing a very dangerous game.

First, lets consider who actually listens to Tebbit? On the left he is a dispised figure. A proclamation such as this will actually get Labour voters out, especially as they probably realise that this will encourage the BNP. Ditto for any Lib Dems who are feeling a bit lazy. Canvassers up and down the country will be saying "Look, even if you are unhappy, if the BNP get a big enough share of the vote, they will get MEP's and the funds to organise which goess with it"

What about Conservatives? They take a different view of Tebbit. They will listen. Who will they vote for? Some will vote UKIP, some will want to send a stronger message. They will vote BNP. The BNP are on around 4% of the popular vote in many areas. A small shift, inspired by Tebbit, can make a huge difference. MEP's have large expenses and funds available. This could be a signficant breakthrough for them. This would be at the expense of Camerons Tories. A poor showing from the Tories, at a time such as this would be a major blow. What would this do to party morale in the run up to an election? Old wounds would be opened, old arguments started. David Cameron would be damaged. Not a good start to an election year.

The thing is, if you think logically, Tebbit is being most unfair to the Tory MEP candidates. They are not operating under Westminster rules, they have a completely different set up and a completely different job. None of the MEP's coming up for reelection are involved in the issue. Tebbit is saying "punish people who have done nothing wrong, but vote for the villians next year". This makes no sense at all. Lets just summarise why Tebbit is dangerous, wrong and stupid.

1) It will boost the BNP's share of the vote
2) It will increase the chances of the BNP getting European funding to organise racist campaigns
3) It will damage Tebbit's own party at the expense of neo fascists
4) It will punish MEP candidates who have done nothing wrong
5) It won't punish the troughers who have been abusing the system

My advice to David Cameron, withdraw the whip from Tebbit. My advice to Tory voters - ignore his dangerous rantings.
