Quote# 87269

[Found in the "Reference" sections of Conservapedia pages.]

This page is proudly free from citations

To insist on finding a reference elsewhere for every statement made, as Wikipedia does, is to be a slave to hearsay. The authors of this page have enough confidence in their own insight not to lean on the opinions and assertions of others.

This is why Andy will always fail.

Do you think he'll ever get off his high horse and admit that he's just making stuff up?

Why don't you just put that on the top of every page as a heads up to everyone that you are just making shit up to further your own dumb ass agenda?

That's not how hearsay works.

This is basically an admission that everything on Conservapedia is just stuff Schafly's made up.

Wow... just, wow. Someone needs to learn the definition of hearsay.

"We're so right, we don't even need to prove how right we are!"

In short, all the contributors have to do is pump intellectual goose eggs out of their cloacas. Uh huh, just as we thought...

Does Conservapedia have little [citation not needed] tags on its pages too?

If you do not cite your sources, then by definition whatever you are writing is unreliable at best.

But by doing so, they are promoting hearsay, because no one can verify what you say. Fragrantly stating the opposite of the truth like that is characteristic of both fundies and commies, which is why it is fallacious to compare secularists to communists.

Truthiness at its finest. "I don't need to prove that pi is exactly 3. I'm just perfectly confident that it is, and that's enough for me. Now, if these sources were to somehow hint at potentially confirming what's written in the (KJV) bible, on the other hand, we shall waste no time in trumpeting them to the high heavens."

Andy is a pretty cool guy, he makes up shit without sources and doesn't afraid of anything.

Amazing when "hearsay" and "heresy" come to be synonymous (to some people).

Conservapedia: [no citation needed]

Is refusing to ask for citations the same way that Andy keeps believing in the bible as ultimate truthful authority on everything?

I'm not sure whether Schlafly is descending into madness, or whether being an all-powerful administrator is just bringing out his inner tyrant.

Either way, I think it's safe to say that Conservapedia has become Andrew Schlafly's own personal cult, even by Conservapedia's own standards.

This is another one of those instances in which I'm absolutely certain the entry is from a troll, despite all of the evidence to the contrary. There is no possible way that someone could be this willfully ignorant of reality and still be able to dress themselves in the morning. But no, if this website demonstrates anything it's that humans truly can be this stupid.

Welcome to the conservative solipsist rabbit hole. Once you are free from the confines of verified facts you are sucked into a mystical land of nonsense where anything can be true if you just believe it hard enough. Want gay marriage to automatically outlaw straight marriage, communists and Nazis to be the same thing, the Theory of Relativity to be completely false, or the founders to have all been Southern Baptists or evangelicals? Anything is possible here!

"This page is proudly free from citations"

And facts, logic, reason, intelligence, educated opinion, educational content of any kind, and the general interest of anyone but Andy Schafly.

"To insist on finding a reference elsewhere for every statement made, as Wikipedia does, is to be a slave to hearsay."

It's called supporting your argument, you doofus. For all that fancy education you supposedly have, it's astonishing how little you actually know about, well, anything.

"The authors of this page have enough confidence in their own insight not to lean on the opinions and assertions of others."

Having "enough confidence" not to consult experts is often equal to "too much stupidity" to do so.

I really want to go to Conservapedia and make a post claiming that Andy Schafly is totally insane, and instead of a reference I'll just claim that I have enough confidence in my own insight to not need a citation. I mean really, all you have to do is read anything on that site to make that conclusion.
