Conservatives should set up their own multimedia platform. Call it Samizdat, which would be appropriate for today’s political and cultural climate.

I can’t believe that any thinking conservative would touch FascistBook with a 10 foot pole....
No he did not.

One good thing is that it exposes them for the biased fraud that they are.
