A group of conservatives is launching their own social networking site 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 the social networking site for conservatives 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.MORGAN
Jan Morgan Harrison, another prominent Tea Party conservative, said she strongly believes there is a bias against conservatives.
Harrison, who has more than 300,000 followers, said she’s been censored and sanctioned a number of times for her pro-Second Amendment postings. She’s become a vocal supporter of The Tea Party Community.
“I think Facebook needs some competition,” she told Fox News. “I know that when I go there and make a post it won’t be censored. It’s not going to be deleted. It has a long way to go as far as building up followers, but it does give us an alternative.”

That’s because you are a speck of dust, and not a landslide.
Am I supposed to use my Facebook fake name or a new fake name?
Monitor for what? What I think about Obama? You are on here doing the same thing I do on facebook.
The thing is it is not really an alternative to Facebook, it’s instead a Conservative forum/meeting/gathering place. There’s already dozens of those (like here for instance).
A true Conservative alternative to Facebook would be like Facebook but with enough differences, bells & whistles to be unique.
99% of the activity on Facebook is not political, so it would be nice to have a place to do all the good stuff on Facebook and share with your apolitical friends/family and the only difference being that Conservatives benefit instead of that Liberal Twerp Zuckermann.
Gee, I wonder how long it will last before it becomes a “Hate Site” and blocked?
Ah, thank you. And yes, I agree. Zuckermann is an evil little twerp.
I tried out that website. It’s not as easy to operate as FB, and it has many glitches that made responding to other posts hard to navigate.
