Here's what the guy who owns this site has to say about your posting:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2636843/posts?page=557#552

Here's the important part:

"I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me."

Remember the thread that was pulled on Wednesday?

Did you bother to read why it was pulled?

You posted an excerpt here on FR that was actually not your writing, but was itself an excerpt of a Breitbart article which you in turn excerpted on your blog.

In other words you expected to get hits for "finding" an article on one of the most heavily sourced websites used on this forum. If you were looking to constructively participate in the discussion here, the way Jim refers to it above, you would have simply linked to he Breitbart article and left it at that. But you just had to get paid for your effort.

And now you're paying for that greed. It's made many of us suspect everything you do.

Fake accounts? Man what is your problem? Have I wronged you in another life? If there were going to be fake accounts, they’d already be there. I was asked to write, agreed and started. I write for a living (I’ve ghost written for best-selling authors and am a best-seller twice under my own name). The other writers (I don’t know the exact number but it’s not that many), aren’t expected to contribute yet because they had too many things going. I don’t know why it’s hard to believe that a group of people would get together and start a conservative news and commentary website. Breitbart is one of the models and, yes, they re-share content as well even if it’s not as much as it used to be. All news websites re-share or use the same stories. The website (Resistance Feed) is not a blog anymore than Breitbart is a blog. Both sites are a mix of commentary and news reports. I really don’t know why you have it out for me.
