US Conservatives Launch Facebook Alternative
*snicker*
Link
Quote:
A group of conservatives is launching their own social networking site called Tea Party Community after enduring what they call years of censorship and liberal bullying on Facebook.
The Tea Party Community is expected to officially launch on Saturday – but co-founder’s of the social networking site say it has already drawn nearly 50,000 members.
“It’s a new home for conservatives and the Tea Party movement in America,” said co-founder Ken Crow. “It’s a social community just for them.” Crow partnered with Tim Selaty Sr. and Jr. to launch the new site last November – a “safe haven for the conservative movement where we can share ideas and thoughts and express ourselves without fear of retribution. Most of us are subjected to censorship on Facebook,” Crow told Fox News. “I’ve been suspended there as have many of my friends. You also absorb a lot of abuse from liberals.”
Crow and many other conservatives believe Facebook is intentionally targeting conservatives. “There’s absolutely no question in my mind,” he said.
Crow said it’s no coincidence that The Tea Party Community has a very similar look and feel to Facebook. “That was intentional,” Crow said. “We didn’t want there to be a learning curve for the new members.”

In the article, 'The Tea Party Community' is hyperlinked so that you can go to the new site. When I clicked on it, this is what came up - go figure. How appropriate.

Looks ok now, they probably just didn't have their certificate setup properly.
Hrm, I wonder if their aversion to censorship will run the other way...

American ultra conservatives scare me in ways Al Qaeda never did.

I hope it works perfectly and gets rid of the following on facebook: abortion pics, scripture that apparently proves Jesus would be pro gun, reganomics analogies on tax structures and 6 guys paying for beer at a bar, and completely ludicrous hoax stories like "soldier in Iraq leads terrorist to Christ"...

I think I've found the formula to get rich.
Step 1. Take existing idea.
Step 2. Make it "for Conservatives".
Step 3. ...
Step 4. PROFIT!

There's no wiki page on Conservapedia for teapartycommunity.com, so not sure if I can trust this new site.

Can someone take a screenshot? I don't want to encourage them by actually visiting their site...

It is actually somewhat amusing to see this parallel internet slowly develop. People can now visit their Tea Bagger Community social media site in between their editing of Conservapedia, all while waiting for messages from single girls looking for puritan sex after marriage at christianmingle.com.

Interesting fact, when you put your birthdate in you can go all the way back to 1776, but you will get an sql error until you put in something more reasonable.

Year of the Declaration of Independence. Seems fitting.
I wonder if TheFacebookGod will get banned from there.
