Revision as of 18:17, November 20, 2011
Conservapedia content has often been proven right on topics ranging from science to politics to the World Cup, even with respect to statements that dimwitted liberals have ridiculed. Examples include:
| Date of Conservapedia statement | Conservapedia statement | liberal claptrap in response | Result | Date of Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec. 22, 2008 | the theory of man-made global warming is not verified science, and there is no consensus[1] | "The science is settled" that rapid global warming is somehow occurring. | Frigid temperatures, October blizzards, and rejection of the theory by the American public; liberals try to change the terminology to "climate change." | 2011 |
| August 2009 | Conservapedia points out that Ben Bernanke's investment portfolio dropped in value in 2008.[2] In addition, Conservapedia declares, "Given the abysmal economic policy of Bernanke and the Obama administration, Bernanke probably should invest in gold."[3] | Liberals call Conservapedians "gold bugs" | As of November 2011, the price of gold has gone up dramatically. The price has gone from about $950 an ounce to about $1,700 an ounce.[4] | Price of gold continues to have an overall upward trend. In August of 2011, the Financial Times has an article entitled "Gold remains world's most powerful trend".[5] |
| September 2009 | Conservapedia mentions that some Americans are turning to self-employment during the economic downturn as jobs are difficult to come by. In addition, Conservapedia mentions developing multiple streams of income in case the economy goes into a depression and many people lose their jobs. Conservapedia also gives resources and suggestions for low cost businesses.[6] | The liberal "graduate student at a sociology department somewhere in the United States" at the Total Drek blog seems to shiver in horror at the hard work involved. In addition, he appears to want people to have a defeatist cry in their beer attitude instead of having a proactive and creative can do attitude.[7] In 2011, Conservapedia indicates that a sociology major is one of the worst college majors to have. | Barack Obama's "stimulus" package fails. Many Americans lose their jobs and have their unemployment benefits run out. In 2011, Fox News reports that most unemployed no longer receive unemployment benefits.[8] Homelessness increases and "Obamavilles" spring up.[9] Unemployment in the United States and many other countries remains high.[10][11] In 2011, Cafe Press is selling unemployed sociology major bumper stickers.[12] | World economy continues to skate on thin ice and the Eurozone is experiencing significant economic problems. |
| Nov. 28, 2009 | Counterexamples to Relativity: "the theory fails" | Clueless liberals insisted the theory must be true regardless of counterexamples | The basic assumption of the theory -- that nothing can go faster than the speed of light -- is disproved repeatedly by an experiment. | November 2011 |
| mid-June 2010 | Atheistic Britain would embarrass itself in the World Cup[13] | Liberal denial shouts down any observation of the correlation between atheism and underachievement | "England's performance at South Africa 2010 was officially their worst at a World Cup finals, according to Fifa."[14] | July 2010 |
| June 30, 2010 | In an open letter to a leader of a new revision to the NIV Bible, Conservapedia expressed "concern that your Committee might produce a liberal translation that distorts and conceals references to the unborn child in appeasement of the pro-abortion position." | No response to the letter, and a prior expression of ridicule of the Conservapedia Bible Project before that. | The new version distorts and conceals numerous references to the unborn child in the Bible, apparently to appease the pro-abortion position. | Nov. 1, 2010[15] |
| Sept. 19, 2010 | Newt Gingrich is the most likely to win the Republican nomination for President[16] | Liberals, who have long opposed Gingrich, wrote him off as a candidate in mid-2011 | Newt leads in national polls and several key primary states | November 2011 |
| Feb. 28, 2011 | Predicted that Sarah Palin will not be the Republican nominee for president, after observing how Facebook (which personified her political approach) lost the Academy Award to The King's Speech.[17] | The lamestream media continued to promote Palin as a leading contender for more than six months | Palin announced she will not be a candidate for the nomination | October 2011 |
| July 2, 2011 | Chris Christie will endorse Mitt Romney for president | The lamestream media insisted that Christie was a contender himself | Chris Christie made a special endorsement of Mitt Romney for president | Oct. 11, 2011 |
| Sept. 20, 2011 | Large earthquakes are increasing in frequency.[18] | Liberal denial because this illustrates a Counterexample to an Old Earth. | Earthquakes then repeatedly strike, causing unnecessary deaths and public outrage at the lack of precautionary measures to fortify or evacuate buildings. | October and November 2011 |
