Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third in the Transformers series, is in some ways the perfect summer movie. A movie where you can turn off your brain, ignore reality, and simply enjoy sugar sweet Hollywood mayhem.
The movie starts with a basic concept: that the space race in the Cold War was focused on reaching the moon first, not for its scientific achievement, but to obtain alien technology that both the Soviets and Americans secretly knew had crashed on the dark side of the moon millenia ago. Americans, led by Neil Armstrong, get there first...but keep the information hidden.

hmmm first amendment states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now me not being a member of Congress how can I violate his First Amendment Rights.
And Once again we have an example of a Member of the Blog Pimp Police's lack of reading comprehension...
Next time might I suggest you get an Adult to help you with your rambling drivel.
Further understand posting copyrighted material without the authors permission in full is against what the Constitution stands for. And in no way is covered by the first Amendment. So like I say try and get some adult help before you post again. Or, might I suggest a remedial civics course is in order.
Perhaps you need adult help or are just plain ignorant. Possibly both.
See my first post on this thread. It is the second post.
That would be found very close to the beginning of the thread.
I hope you can find it.
See how it requests the AUTHOR to post his entire content?
"Author" means the person who wrote it. "Requests" means asks.
Read carefully, sound out the words.
I see. So when you set up a website you can implement such rules.
However on Free Republic it seems it is kosher to excerpt ones own Blog and post such. A point which you Blog Pimp Police seem to overlook repeatedly.
Notice both the Mods AND the Robinsons have been pinged to this thread yet it remains open.
Are you "catching on" yet?

“Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FRs original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).
Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Cant go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.
So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didnt wish to read them could simply click on the news forum and they wouldnt see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.
This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.
I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.
If a blogger cant or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then Id just as soon he doesnt post here. Its not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. Thats his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.
Furthermore, Im not big on rules. You wont see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then youre welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. Were not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and thats fine by me.”

Why would you ask for such?
In your eyes he is a Blog Pimp and as I read many times your posting about how most is just secondhand drivel not worth reading why would you care if he posts it or not.
In fact you have stated many times most is reprinted stuff from other websites. So if such is reprinted from other websites then someone else's copyrights would be violated and opening up Free Republic to yet another copyright law suit.
What part of "it would be best if you do not excerpt your own work," and "we are not interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog" do you not get? Hmmm?
oh wait...
guess not...
Then why don't the Mods delete the thread if it violates the rules Hmmm?
Not necessarily. Blog pimping isn't specifically "illegal".
Kind of like burning the flag is legal. Wrong but legal.
The cops can't do much about it.
A few concerned citizens, however, might be able to make an impression on the flag burner.
Or the blogpimp.
You obviously didn’t read the last paragraph.
Good then you DO understand...
Of course now we need to get you to understand how its ILLEGAL to post copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder...
baby steps...
You must be new to the whole blogpimp phenomenon. The mods rarely pull pimp threads. They do sometimes zot pimps though. There have been quite a few pimp zots. I have lost count of exactly how many...
Actually I did but why don't you point out the reasons you think I didn't.
I still think you fail to understand Jim Rob’s position on this. Unlike you, he is NOT in favor of blogpimps. Why do feel this strange need to defend pimps? Sheesh...
Because you are ignoring the point.
I never asked for such nor promoted such and that isn't the issue with blogpimps.
Your constant tossing up of this strawman grows tiresome, as does your apparent lack of comprehension.
Carry on, oh wayward tard.
Promote blogpimping all you wish. I shall do the opposite.
If you come into my home and start smoking, which is perfectly legal, and I tell you that I prefer that you smoke outside, what would you do? You could go to either the deck, the patio, or the porch to smoke. Or you could ungraciously insist on smoking inside my home, since after all, it’s perfectly legal to smoke.
Now you, Neovatara, and newheart come into Jim Robinson’s living room, and he has stated politely that he prefers that Neoavatara and other bloggers not excerpt their own material nor lure FReepers away from Free Republic. But because it’s what you feel like doing, and of course, it’s perfectly legal, you spit in his face and do what you want.
You’re all three really crappy guests, just as if you were polluting someone’s living room with smoke, you pollute Free Republic with your blog pimping and the defense of same.
Shame on you.
