Why the excerpt?
Is there something in your article that’s not fit for publication on FreeRepublic?
Compliance with copyright law.
Rest assured there is nothing in the article that is unfit for publication on Free Republic or, for that matter, anywhere else.
The issue is really this: although it is, of course, easier to read things on Free Republic without having to click on a link, it is a small inconvenience.
Political journals that publish the kinds of editorial material many here at Free Republic are interested in are perpetually operating in the red.
When you click onto their websites they can sell the value of that traffic to advertisers whose payments will help defray some of the costs of producing that material.
In the long run, if we don't provide some financial support for this material, less of it will be produced.
Very truly yours -
