ReaganBook

[Michchamp]

I hadn't heard of this until today:

ReaganBook, described by its founder as ?the Facebook for patriots? is the latest in a long line of poorly done conservative social networks. A day after launching, the site was overrun with trolls and taken down by admins.

It's always amusing when Conservatives try to re-brand internet phenomena to support their agenda, and it blows up in their face.

They keep forgetting that they need insulate their sites from all the smart-asses before launching, so that can safely run them as echo-chambers, safe from any actual thought or humor. Maybe make them invite-only from the lists of Mitt Romney donors or something like that.

They could more easily do this on Facebook. Just block all the smart alecks or anyone who tries to view things from more than a single perspective. Just "friend" only other people who think the way they do.

Why do those patriots conveniently forget what Reagan actually stood for? He was no true conservative. Reagan wouldn't have made it through primaries in today's Republican party.

Republicans have been saying about John F. Kennedy and the Democratic primaries of today.

I'll bet Democrats have been lickin' their chops a long time for a chance to throw that one right back at the Republicans.
