Our government, & by extension our Country, is lost to us. The harvest we’ve reaped for the seeds of pernicious infidelity we’ve allowed to be sown by undermining treasonists. The average American citizen has basically been relegated to the role of “taxed spectator” to this oppressive travesty we’re made to fund.

Because that’s how the dialectic works. Truth and right should always compromise and accommodate the insane.
Looks like you are just here to promote your blog.

Any thoughts on that?
Why are you so constantly and easily offended by people posting from a blog?
It is Rather annoying to me to see you jumping up and down like this on these threads.
What is the frequency Kenneth?
I pointed out a trend and asked a polite question.
Is that a problem for you?
Yes it is.
It is annoying me. I am looking for popular thought among conservative minded people, on these threads and each time a find a little tidbit to read, of original thought, you are there being a cry baby about it being a blog.
Are you going to say that people are just blogging from home in their pajamas too?
Are you speaking for the owner of the site? Because if you are, why not just delete the thread? Are you speaking as a reader of the site? If so- what is your major issue?
Why not clear it up once and for all, and let others read the general flow of the comments without drama.
Yer not even a year old, junior, ya noooob.
So.. it’s fine for you to object to my posts, but not fine for me to object to blogpimping?
Is that how it works?
Go get your shine box.
I have read 100 of your rants and said nothing at all. And I decided that today is a fine day for some friendly feedback.
Well then.
I don’t much care for bloggers who come here and post excerpts
of their writing for the sole purpose of getting hits on their blogs.
It’s insanely simple.
I usually like both of your takes.
Have a good day guys.
It seems to me that you are assigning a motive. I, personally, think it is highly interesting to see the comments they get.
I like to find conservative blogs easily, so finding them here on FR, makes sense to me.
I suppose if it is a matter of bandwidth, the owner could charge them a fee.
But assuming that they are being nefarious for posting blogs here, seems trivial to me.
WE are the media. I remember back in the day when all we had was Chris Matthews on Fox, (hello- yes- CHRIS MATTHEWS!!!) Freepers with boots on the ground, at major events, with interesting points of view, was where I got all of my news and I was thankful for what Freepers where posting.
If you write something that you want us to read, then post it at freerepublic.
This may sound bad.
Noses were made for breaking.
His issue isn't that the guy is posting from a blog site. His issue is that the guy excerpts his post instead of posting the whole content on FR, in other words the guy is seeking to drive people to his blog in order to garner hits, most likely he is getting paid by the hit by someone. That is the issue. Humblegunner is correct in calling these guys out, why should we have to click on his link when he could just as easily post it all here for us to read, if that is the bloggers intention, which most likely it is not.
By God.. somebody understands it!
Problem is, this makes it impossible to make genuine social progress through the formal vehicles of "representative democracy." The level of social consensus has been trending downward for centuries, largely because truth-seeking and truth-conformity have been shunned in favor of "my rights" -- not only in theory but in the everyday sense. So naturally there isn't much left to public life besides the machinations of advantage-seeking opportunists. How is it possible to achieve greater social consensus (the internal combustion engine of "representative democracy!") in such conditions?
There is the temptation to look at the age-old social capital still standing around us (and of course, the newer, physical capital -- fancy machines, skyscrapers, etc.) and to think we must be a magnificent people. But we are merely the inheritors of those things. Ours is the age of mass-man, propaganda, secularism, weak-kneed relativism, and the effective stalemating of genuine personal rights by very large loosely-coupled bureaucracies that span the public and private sectors.
As long as people cower before the aggressive, overblown "rights talk" of the more-liberal-than-thou, everything our forebears held to be true will be subjected to the "consensus building" of the ignorant pleasure-seeking multitudes who take their marching orders from the same liberal elite, and (surprise!) we will find that none of the old norms are left standing.
We have to write off the present age and its attenuated symbols of "greatness". We're better off if we both "think" and "act locally" in an old-fashioned way about building a better society for generations not yet born, while we accept that many things are just out of our control. The Medievals had it just about right. Anyway, the pompous Rationalist windbaggery about "rights", "progress", etc. cannot last much longer.
So are jaws.
What is the problem to us if he gets paid per hit? Only interested people are going to follow the link, so who gets hurt? It isn’t theft, for goodness sake. It’s capitalism. Fine.. who cares who is getting paid?
If it is bandwidth issue, or if the owner is worried about it, for his own reasons, and wants to charge a fee for bloggers, then fine.
But why should people disrupt threads enforcing a rule that was never written?
