I excerpt, rather than quote full blogs, because the original, long article is well formatted and MUCH easier to read there than it would be here.

Yet another great Don Surber article.

No need to excerpt. Simply view the source of the blog you want to post, grab the html, do some minor cleanup, and it should post rather nicely.

I have done it all the time here at FreeRepublic.

In general, the FBI is ok.

The problem is the KGB office hiding within it.

The FBI is one of the many extra constitutional government agencies that should be done away with.

There is no authorizing authority in the constitution for them.

Yes.

The FBI is too big, and has demonstrated that it will not be held accountable. Not to the duly elected President of the United States. Not to We the People nor our elected representatives who have lawful oversight. Not to the Rule of Law. Not to the Constitution and their oaths to it.

Time to tear it down. We can use the bricks to build the Wall!

I have no problem with excerpts.

But it seems an over-zealous humblegunner gets his panties in a wad and makes snarky comments about it when someone excerpts a blog.

Surprised he hasn’t shown up yet. Must be busy policing FR and the rest of the internet. ;)

Weird definitely. I’ve always thought full blogs to be bad form, but I like the suggestion about picking up the hmtl. Still don’t like full blogs without it.

I think this blog section is too weird since it combines people’s personal blogs with better articles than found in News.

If you’re going to mention another FReeper in your post, he or she should be pinged.

If the content is good, I will click as well. But I seldom click on an excerpt, especially if bias is apparent in the lead in.

He’s so rude I’ve grown to ignore him. Good objections with reasoning I ALWAYS listen to and often change my opinion because of. His, never.

Just guessing, but I think HG objects mostly to excerpting one's own blog for hits.

I guess I like bias, because I want to read full throated Trumpers. And Don Surber always makes me feel good.

I used to only post initial, but learned that it’s better to post the heart of the article from the middle. I’m liking that better as saying what the article is really about.

The FBI has proven itself complicit in criminal activity. The organization is a joke and a blight on America.

All the time the Dems. will blaming the Russians for interference in an election. Now we find some in the FBI were motivated to push the Hillary campaign. All the wasted time watching the media chase their tails around the Russian story, has taught us all a lesson. The media has a mission to stop Trump too.
