Why not post it here?

Free Republic is not here for the purpose of driving traffic to your blog. If you wrote it, post all of it for discussion.

I visited your blog just to piss off the Thread Police.

I didn’t mind going to your blog. Your article is heartfelt. I do, however, feel that the Tea Party battle is far from over. As long as the MSM castigates, impugns, and insults it members and vision, the Tea Party is viable.

You Do Need Power

I dont care who we're talking about, this makes me bristle. Yeech.

Seems JP you are on trial by those who have appointed themselves a jury of your peers, so I have selected myself to be on your jury. I have heard the charges against you, visited your blog and considered the facts. Although there are cases of abusers using FR to drive traffic to their blog, you are not one of them.

I find the charges against you to be trumped up and false, with the appearance of being rooted in jealousy.

I vote NOT GUILTY and no amount of misguided reasoning from your accusers, will change my vote. You win they lose.

Carry on Soldier!

JP: Sorry you had to put up with all the crap on this thread. I read your full essay and it was a nice piece of writing. You made some excellent points and connections.

Thank you for posting it, and I had no problem clicking through, because the excerpt interested me.

And to the thread police: If FR doesn't want blog posts excerpted, why don't they put a notice on the posting page? Rules and regulations that appear out of nowhere are somewhat hard to follow.
