Good to hear, friend.
The owner of Free Republic, Mr. Jim Robinson has been quite clear on this point:
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 can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s 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.
As you are an acquaintance of Mr. Vander Hart, perhaps he would give you his permission to post his entire blog posts on Free Republic. Getting such (inter)national exposure seems it could be something he'd like.
Nice graphic. Must save. Thanks.
Thumbs up on “Obvious Blog Pimp!”
:0)
No... I’m here.
What like your alias? If you noticed when I posted as iowaguy1972 I wasn’t posting on shanevanderhart... I wanted to delete the shanevanderhart account, but wasn’t allowed to.
conservativehawkeye is not an alias, the guy does however have my permission to do the full post.
I also didn’t realize how excepts were considered anathema here, so I’m changing how I post.
Thanks for the information.
I have two posts, from two separate blogs and I’m a blog pimp? Fine, I won’t do anymore excerpts. Forgive me for practicing what is common etiquette everywhere else in the blogosphere.
Free Republic is not a blog.
I understand that, but without linking to articles and blog posts what would Free Republic be? How much original content is produced here?
Maybe there’s a lot, but most of what I’ve seen in the short time I’ve had an account is threads with articles and blog posts.
Of course, links to news articles are necessary, but links to the blogs of parasites, not so much.
There are some fine conservative bloggers out there, e.g. Jeff Head, but there are just as many soulless pimps who try to use this great site for their own financial gain and never offer anything in return. Therein lies the problem.
This was you?...

Seems you've already rode the lightnin’ once before, huh?
“parasite” “souless pimp”
You obviously don’t know Shane or Caffeinated Thoughts. He’s got a pretty popular conservative blog in Iowa and has done quite a bit to advance conservatism in Iowa both online and off.
But you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, and I’ll post his stuff on occasion (this time the full post).
So I’m a parasite?
Nice. God bless you too.
“who try to use this great site for their own financial gain”
How exactly? Still waiting for my check then.
Sorry, I'm not the guy who just fell out of the truck.
Dude, you need to get a life.
Mr. Vander Hart needs to switch to decaf.
