Thanks so much. We link to our columns and blogs because page views on our newspaper website pay our salaries. Advertisers pay for the people who visit our site, alas, not other sites.

Please click through and keep another newspaper in business.

Thanks.

At your service in Christ . . .

At least you're BLATANT about intentionally siphoning Free Republic's VOLUNTEER DONORS off of our non-commercial site so that YOU CAN PROFIT from them. Thanks a lot, BLOG PIMP.

Ever heard of "Thou shalt not steal?"

Your use of the Holy Name of Our Savior to end each reply does nothing but bring further shame on the ethically questionable activity in which you are engaging.

To claim the moral high ground while (at the very least) intentionally misusing the private property of another only intensifies the scummy activity in which you are engaged.

FreeRepublic is designed to be a safe haven for members and lurkers where they can feel free from the perils of commercial sites such as yours. If you would post your material here, in full and in good faith, you might find that the ultimate rewards of being a constructive part of this community far outweigh the short term gains you might realize from pimping your site.

If you choose the other path, then you are nothing more than a scummy blog pimp, no matter who you invoke in you tagline.
