I could also mention the link you provided only two days ago was to Rolling Stone while the link for my news story was at least to BBC.
I am just wondering Swordmaker, are you a Conservative?
I could also mention the link you provided only two days ago was to Rolling Stone while the link for my news story was at least to BBC.Keep in mind that’s when you first claimed "already posted", which had nothing to do with your "ping list duties". Were they identical in content too? Or are you simply confused?
What has the source of the article have to do with the fact the post had precedence over yours? Are you arguing that the Liberal BBC is more conservative than the Liberal Rolling Stone? If so, that's hilarious! Again, the content of your posting was a rehash of the mere facts, providing no new insights into the events.
Try using FreeRepublic's search using the main terms in the title. I do. You can also use Google and specify "site:FreeRepublic.com" and see what's been posted on the topic recently. I do that to, before I post an article.
And yes, I'm a true conservative. I was a personal friend of Ronald Reagan and had a standing invitation to use the swimming pool at the Governor's Mansion on 45th Street when he was Governor of California. I'm probably more conservative than you because I don't use Alinsky like tactics on FR threads and I don't immediately attack people I disagree with using ad hominem tactics of insults and slurs, the weapons of a liberal. I use facts and reason, the tools of a true conservative.
