Wikipedia is down, so lets all use Conservapedia.

This started in another thread but I found it so amusing that I thought it deserved it's own thread.

Liberal denial is the tendency of liberals to conceal, deny or censor the truth for ideological reasons. A list of the top common instances of liberal denial are the following:

[Martinus]

Is this some schizophrenic project?

[MadImmortalMan]

Nice one, Raz. You got him in one. 

[Josquius]

Conservapedia makes me seethe with rage.

Then it makes me giggle at their improper use of the word liberal.

[The Larch]

Jesus Christ, the strawmen factory must have run out of stock with that one.

[Martinus]

I love their single argument about homosexuality.

[citizen k]

Then it makes me giggle at their improper use of the word liberal.

They're half right in the sense that American liberals are social liberals. They're not liberals in the British sense because American liberals are not market liberals.

[Valmy]

I love their single argument about homosexuality.

Your lifespan is shorter man.  You gotta stop denying it.

[Razgovory]

I love their single argument about homosexuality.

Your lifespan is shorter man.  You gotta stop denying it.

That may very well be true.  Gays have a higher rate of suicide then non-gays, and that may effect mortality statistics.

[Valmy]

They're half right in the sense that American liberals are social liberals. They're not liberals in the British sense because American liberals are not market liberals.

I am not sure that list really describes anybody.  But if the Nobel Prize is by Liberals for Liberals then I guess at least Norwegians are included in the definition.

[Martinus]

I love their single argument about homosexuality.

Your lifespan is shorter man.  You gotta stop denying it.

That may very well be true.  Gays have a higher rate of suicide then non-gays, and that may effect mortality statistics.

This could be true for a number of reasons (suicide, stress, violence, disease). What I dont get is what they are trying to say. It's like saying "Don't be black. Black people are more likely to be jailed."

[Razgovory]

I'm not a conservative so I don't know what the hell they are getting at.  Some things are true in sense, some are partly true, some are only true using some bizarre definition of words, some unverifiable, some are simply false, and some don't make any damn sense.

For instance

Liberals deny that human intelligence inevitably and demonstrably declines from generation to generation, and that if there were another 100 generations into the future the people would not be able to understand simple concepts.

I suppose this is true.  Some Liberals probably do deny this.  I had never heard of such a thing and it doesn't seem likely.

That girls and women in sports have debilitating ACL knee injuries at 3-4 times the rate of men,[9] and are vulnerable to other injuries[10]

I never heard this, but don't deny it.  I don't know what the point is though.

That President Bush didn't cause Hurricane Katrina.

Huh?  Liberals deny that President Bush didn't cause Hurricane Katrina? I'm confused here.  So Liberals are claiming that President Bush didn't cause Hurricane Katrina.  I guess that's true.  Does this mean that he actually did?

That companies like Exxon should pay billions of dollars in damages to the general public, in addition to the money they spend to clean up industrial accidents and to recompense those directly affected

Wait, liberals deny this one?

iberals deny that Hitler and the Nazi party were in fact Liberals (anti-Semitism is a well-documented characteristic of Liberal Christianity as is the PETA-like Green wing of the Third Reich

Wait, what?

That state run health care has lead to Islamic terrorism in Britain, and would do so in the US

Okay, that's just silly.

[Josephus]

That girls and women in sports have debilitating ACL knee injuries at 3-4 times the rate of men,[9] and are vulnerable to other injuries[10]

I never heard this, but don't deny it.  I don't know what the point is though.

That girls should be home cooking and cleaning not playing sports because they are physically weaker.

[Ed Anger]

That girls should be home cooking and cleaning

TESTIFY!

[PDH]

Well, women do suffer more ACL injuries, this I know from physical anthropology. It has to do with the tilt of the pelvis and how that affects gait and the set of the femur.  However, missing here is that a certain trait (I think it is called "lateral notched femur") that seems to cause a high rate of ACL problems.  Liberals and Conservatives both suffer from this sometimes.
