I know many people have told you this but I really appreciate people who do this. I don't have time to scour through millions of websites trying to find news of a conservative bent. I go to basically 3 websites normally for news, FreeRepublic being one. I appreciate it when someone alerts me to something and in this case it happened not far from where I live... I saw "Lansing" and was interested in the story and the news.
I think that berating and badgering those who choose to post from blogs is doing a disservice to many people on FreeRepublic. So what if get more hits to their blog? Who cares as long as it's conservative information getting out?
You are welcome to your opinion.
It differs from mine.
Making a comment on some blog is not news.
Post that crap in bloggers or chat.
