If the telephone company had been run like Facebook they would have shut down the Goldwater campaign's phone lines.
That's why conservatives should avoid Facebook and get their families off there if they can.
LOL. That’s Peter Porker, Spider Ham. I used to actually own a couple of those issues long ago.

They must block the citizens from electing ayone who would enforce the laws and borders.

Oh...okay. I’ll keep that in mind next time I sit down for a cold one at HOOTERS. There’s no bar/restaurant that I’d rather get myself thrown out of.
Redicules .
there still is freedom of speech....and some people used their freedom of speech to point out FB agenda...and FB freaked because everyone conservative that might leave is worth money to him...
