Conservapedia Smokes the Hog

This report about the top ten hits on Conservapedia had been floating around the internets for the past few days. It appears as if it might lack a bit in veracity. Nevertheless it points out some essential weirdness that is constantly present in the conservative world. As Wes Clark Jr. says, "They want to smoke the hog." I have stayed away from the armchair psychology of saying that everyone who is against something is, in fact, that mysterious something in secret. But clearly, there is a huge repressed subculture in conservative circles that really wants to have sex with men. Even if these top ten entries on Conservapedia prove to be false, look at some of their real entries. The first line, after stating that Bill Clinton was the president between the Bushes reads, "Clinton aggressively advocated homosexuality." Really? Really? I don't remember that. I certainly don't remember it being the centerpiece of his presidency. There has to be something to this obsession.
