Well, you can count me in as one of those people if the post is an excerpt. But I have a special respect for bloggers who post their entire column here. Never had a problem with those bloggers.
I consider myself a part-time blogger, and FR is my blog. I occasionally write a full column, sometimes complete with images, links, etc., and post it here. You can (or at least you used to be able to) check the number of "views" any particular thread attracted, and I remember being amazed a few years back that a column I had written and posted here had received literally tens of thousands of "views". I knew right then that going off to start my own personal blog - - not that it was ever seriously considered - - would be ludicrous.

So late to this thread, but have no ox at hand ready for goring... alas, he escaped!
But, need an explanation as to why I shouldn’t get get into high “late-night” gear, get the “granny load” on, and send out a zot-kitty contract on “humble gunner”.
He has added nothing to the conservative discussion, and needs a good dose of ghetto”whoop-asshhh”, in this old freeper’s opinion.
His (and your) milage, of course, might vary from mine. But, I have been driving a whole lot longer...
So, my opinion may not be reflective of the management, and is only that of a disheartened long term Freeper, now worrying about what has happened to the website I once trusted and loved.
“humblegunner”... how I wish we had a “down thumb” for you, or at least an “ignore” button.
I am ashamed of you, won’t refer people to FR because of you, and pray you will re-think your unfortunate postings. Perhaps you would be happier over at DU, or KOS?
Quit picking on me and mine, unless you can come up with some observations requiring critical thinking. Your juvenile, irritating ad-hominem attacks on fellow conservatives don’t pass muster with most of us seniors.
We hope to encourage the next generation to think clearly, and write honest conservative opinions on the internet, no matter where they are lucky enough to find a venue.
So, “humblegunner”, as your punishment, you are now sentenced to listening to 6 hours a day of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity for the next twelve weeks.
If you fail to meet your sentence, 18 weeks of “InfoWars” will be your penance, followed by a HSA official escorting you to Minneapolis, with intrusive full body cavity searches, so you can cut my elderly toenails, which I can no longer reach or see.
Give it up, humblegunner, before you make a total fool of yourself!
