You know, you really need to give this a rest. Your obssession over blogs wrecks the flow of countless threads.
As hard as it might be for you to get this, you need to understand it simply doesn't matter.
And you also need to understand that Free Republic itself was sued for exactly the same thing you screech about bloggers - the various news sources called FR a blog that was stealing their information.
AND - what did FR do about it? Made click-throughs with partial articles.
SO what do you screech about? Bloggers with click-throughs from partial articles.
It's a fricking click, from one free website through another free website to another free website (and donations aren't the point here, because they aren't mandatory).
Besides, who are you to say that someone writing as a blogger doesn't have just as valid information or opinions as the MSM news sources you're so fervent about discriminating on behalf of? Most of FR's comments are precisely baut the shoddy or dishonest reporting of the MSM!
So DROP IT already, and find another hobby.
The day I need you to tell me what I need to understand
will be the day I start a blog and wear a banana hat.
Now you go on and promote homeless retards on library computers.
I know they appreciate it.. and you.
Bet you have awesome stories about that.
Thank you, Talisker.
