First, you don’t seem to understand Free Republic. FR provides a forum for Bloggers called “Bloggers and Personal”. No one is asking YOU to click on the link provided.
Second, I will gladly compare my donations to FR to yours.
Third, you seem to be interested in AARP. If you took the time to look at my previous posts, you would see that I have several related posts on this subject matter. Read them, you might learn something.
Fourth, there are many Freepers who appreciate Bloggers posting on FR. If you looked, I noted “posted in Bloggers section” and listed the sourced material in the specific post.
