Well, they think they can shut us down that way, but they are wrong. And all this all of a sudden in a tough election year.

They can make us excerpt every article, or only post a link, but they can't keep us from discussing current events and posting our opinions.

They think that if we don't post the articles, people won't visit FR as much, but they are wrong about that too.

Life is tough, but we are tougher and we'll do everything we can, even double our efforts to get Bush reelected.

We'll dig up even more stuff about Kerry and Clinton and publicize Bush's successes.

That's what happens when you become successful. The reason they want to shut us down, is because FR is making a difference. You can really be proud of what you created, Jim.

If that's what they think, they are VERY wrong.

I can get the articles from the source if I want them.
What I come to FR for is the discussion and dissection of the article.

The only thing we will have to be very careful of in paraphrasing articles is to NOT let bias creep in as much as possible.
Otherwise we will become just one more website that parrots an article with their own bias inserted.
The bias should come from the discussion and dissection.
