Conservative Firing Line now on Patreon

As we and many others have reported, conservative sites like this one have become targets in what can only be called a propaganda war — a jihad, if you will — waged by the organized left, all under the guise of allegedly combating “fake news.”

Leftists are bound and determined to ensure that only one side of any issue is seen or heard.

As a result, sites like ours have been hit with what is being called an “adpocalypse,” as advertisers are scurrying from conservative outlets.  Worse yet, social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are working to bury our content so that no one ever sees it.  Search engines like Google are doing the same.

And it’s not just us — I’ve heard from several site owners who have experienced the same thing.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

What this means is that the people who say they want to see our posts, can’t.

So we’ve decided to use Patreon, in an effort to ensure that those who want to see our material can, and to put us in a position where we aren’t so reliant on fickle advertisers and mega-liberal companies like Facebook.  Patreon, by the way, is used by YouTubers like Josh Bernstein and Mark Dice to help offset that site’s efforts to censor conservative videos.

At Patreon, you can pledge to support us with any amount you wish — even $1.00 per month.  If enough patriots do this, we won’t need to worry about advertisers and we can continue to bring you the content you’ve come to expect.

Don’t get me wrong — we don’t do this for the money.  Far from it.  But it does cost money to keep sites like this one running.

So what will you get if you become a patron?

For starters, you’ll continue to get hard-hitting conservative news and views from our contributors who, by the way, span the globe.  Our growing list of contributors include conservatives like Bill Finlay — known on YouTube as “Wild Bill for America” — Dr. James Garrow, Idaho GOP House candidate Michael Snyder and Adina Kutnicki, an investigative journalist based in Israel.

You’ll also get exclusive blurbs and posts that include a weekly run-down of the stories you may have missed.

Those who choose to support us with a pledge of $10.00 or more per month will also get a signed copy of Banned: How Facebook enables militant Islamic jihad, written by yours truly along with Adina Kutnicki.

And from time to time, we’ll throw in specials like gift cards as our way of saying thanks for those who support us with larger pledges.

So if you appreciate the kind of hard-hitting information you probably won’t see anywhere else, please visit our Patreon page here and become a patron, and be sure to spread the word.

We thank you for your readership and your support.
