The president of conservative pro-family group Faith2Action last weekend announced the pre-launch of ReaganBook, a social networking site described as "the Facebook for patriots," according to Right Wing Watch.
Faith2Action President Janet Porter told attendees at the Ohio Liberty Coalition's "Reload 4 Liberty" event that Facebook has been censoring people like anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera.
Porter lamented that "while tomorrow Facebook employees are gathering to go march at the gay pride parade in San Francisco," they are censoring people with "unpopular opinions."
She then described ReaganBook as a social network that tears down walls like President Reagan.
“We’re tearing down walls of tyranny and censorship," she said.
Seriously?
Funny I thought Facebook was open to all people regardless of age, sex, religion, or political affiliations.
But I guess if they don't allow homophobic hatemongers to say vile things, then they are a little too oppressive for these people.
So Sarah Palin has her own internet TV channel, the Right Wing has its own radio channels, the Republicans have a whole cable news channel spreading propaganda, the conservatives even have their own version of Wikipedia, and still that is not enough for them?
I think this might be the internet version of the American Civil War. But instead of fighting over land and owning slaves, they are battling over facts and keeping liberals the hell off of their internet lawns.
I thought what Sarah Palin now has is called a 'website'. TV channel? What station?
ReplyDeleteYes, what TV channel, Gryphen? It looks like an ordinary website to me. Very ordinary.
DeleteI built it, it's mine and I'm going to keep it. My uterus is where the tyranny stops. Right? I'll be the perfect user for ReaganBook.
ReplyDeleteThey'll surround themselves with hate. That will teach us liberals!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's fine if they hate me and I'm not there. They might as well be in a cave somewhere in Appalachia hating civilization, for all I care. Fuck em. I'll avoid it even more than I avoid Facebook right now, which is almost entirely. I came across Conservapedia and something similar once, and have managed to live well despite the neuroses those "contributors" were suffering. It seems that the more they are ignored, the louder and more obnoxious they get. Unless they stop me on the sidewalk, I pretend not to notice. Time is too precious to waste on rude people.
DeleteI can't believe no one's posted a link to this yet -- I SO want to join this. Anything will be grounds for extreme laughter on my part. As will anything I post there. Wonder how long it will take them to figure out I'm in sheep's clothing....
ReplyDeleteIt's in the poster, top right hand side: ReaganBook.com
Delete;)
Thanks, Anon! The site must be busy with all the new members -- I haven't been able to register yet. Soon, though. As soon as I can.
DeleteWait 'til they discover that Reagan is more of a liberal than any of today's neocon hell-spawn!
ReplyDeleteJust something else to turn to shit by Republicans. I can remember Beck hawking the Right version of AARP. That went down in a flaming disaster also.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you wouldnt be so smug about such matters if you had read Was Reagan The Son of God? by Italian bible historian and renowned circus plate spinner Oregano Rotini.
ReplyDeleteIt's a 9 page generously margined and beautifully illustrated book that tries to answer that age-old question, was Ronald Reagan the son of God?
The answer, based on rigorous academic research and well intentioned endless speculation is "perhaps yes, perhaps no".
At least now that you've been informed, I hope you can understand where compulsive conservative Reagan fetishism comes from.
It wouldn't hurt for you and your little libtard blog buddies to make a pilgrimage to Ronnie's World, the holiest site in all of christo-conservadom located in a beautifully restored Arco gasoline station at exit 148 on California's Interstate 10.
If you do visit, remember to leave a generous offering at the Shrine of The Holy Ron or else you will spend eternity suffering in a liberal Hell of excruciating fires, high tax rates on the wealthy, dark skinned demons and gay marriage.
Maybe one of our conservative, religious visitors can answer my question
DeleteWhich one of Reagan's marries was his sanctified godly one? Oh, don't bother, I know the answer...it must have been his first one cuz his second was controlled by the devil in horoscopes and fortune tellers, which would be the devils work? ammirite?
The Republicans are isolating themselves a little bit more...
ReplyDeleteand a little bit more...
and soon they'll be this little section of our society that doesn't believe anything - or even hear anything - outside of their own, tight little boxes.
The world will move on without them and they'll become like the Amish and Mennonites - living in their weird little tight-knit, secluded, cut-off colonies where everyone has to wear the same GOD-sanctioned hair and clothes and everyone believes only what The Church or Their Elders tell them. Or ELSE.
And no one will give a flying shit what they think or what they say in their back-woods little colonies anymore.
Like Sarah Palin, they'll only get noticed when they do or say something weird and goofy enough warrant ridicule.
So, yeah - Sarah, please do go ahead and start your little channel and herd your nut-case followers into their corrals.
And sure, Conservatives, go head-on and launch your own little version of FaceBook and guide the bozos out of the mainstream exchange of ideas and shuttle them into your tiny, close-minded, restricted-access version where you can control them and WE don't have to listen to their nonsense anymore.
Run into your members-only club and close the door tightly and celebrate that only those you desire can get in and you're safe and alone in there.
All alone in there.
Poor republicunts, thy can never win a political argument so they have to stay on red sites. Good, it'll clean up facebook from so many hateful, christian posts.
ReplyDeleteUh, the beauty of Facebook is not that it is open to everyone (it is), but that you share as much as you want to share, and you choose who you want to share it with. So it seems the Teabagger kooks can't stand their own d@mn company.
ReplyDeleteToo funny.

being a lab rat for the data miners is another perk.
DeleteOT:
ReplyDeleteIt appears Sarah Palin has been shown the door at Fox again. Yesterday Palin did a telephone interview with Michael Medved talking up her pet project impeaching Obama. While under contract at Fox appearing on another show was a no no. Now we have the Sarah Palin Channel. Folks, she's gone at Fox!
Umm - did they get permission?
ReplyDeletePoor RWNJs still haven't learned that the facts have a liberal bias. Have to run away from those facts. Hide quick, or they'll get you.

Good, the FBI will know where to find all the domestic terrorists.
ReplyDeleteTheir whole premise is to piss off dems. Dems won't be joining, buying, subscribing or using their sites because like the rest of their racist, bashing, lying, crazy sites only the dumbasses will be reading that bullshit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. palin with her phony crazy blogging (remember when she thought bloggers weren't worthy of an opinion? G?) and now the ridiculous reagan thingy.
Stupid is just another word for gop.
Can we join and celebrate the fact that Reagan deepened the deficit like no other??
ReplyDeleteAnd how he raised taxes???
and how he had Alzheimer's
DeleteI hope the Reagan family sues them for using his name.
ReplyDeleteI would take it as a badge of honor to be barred from St Ronnies site.I'm still very proud of being banned from c4p.I'm assuming that there will be moderators. Entertainment for next week. Have t-shirts made that say Banned by Reagan.The possibilities are endless
ReplyDeleteThe White House Has Just Been Informed That Sarah Palin Is Launching An Online News Channel
ReplyDeletehttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtodncCCEAAUDj-.jpg
I wonder if the Reagan estate granted these clowns the permission to use his name and likeness?
ReplyDeleteNot to be outdone, President Obama announces the launching of a new social media enterprise called "GWBush Book". Instead of using the hashtag symbol, republicans are encouraged to use the "Any" key, to keep it orderly.
ReplyDeleteI think the nuts, GOP and Teabaggers hear the clock ticking down and are farting desperation from every orifice. while the stars align for the first female Democrat POTUS.
Reaganbook sounds great. I've always wanted a social media site that triples my debt and then can't remember who I am.
ReplyDeleteLol!!! Perfect.
DeleteHey, not only does the Right Wing have their own radio and cable news channels (and now Scarah's new channel), and their own form of Wikipedia (Conservapedia), they have their very own version of the Bible!

Good job, everyone--this is on the front page of Reaganbook.com today--along with a 'This site is in offline mode" message:
ReplyDeleteThank you to all those who participated in the pre-release of ReaganBook.com Your participation is helping us build a more secure site. Thank you! Please be patient while we make the necessary changes to keep the site free from obscenity, pornography, and those intent on the destruction of life, liberty, and the family. We will be opening the doors again soon with additional protections in place. As Reagan taught us, trust, but verify.

Gee. With the botched Obamacare site faux pas, one would THINK the drooling idiots behind this site would have it up and running on the first day. But then, they are truly emulating Ronald Regan, who probably had ALS for years before he announced it. Or is it just a matter of polishing the psychic's crystal balls?
