On March 21, 2010, in opposition to more than 60% of Americans, Obamacare, precursor to Socialized Medicine and Tombstone of our free-market economy, passed in the U.S. House by seven votes. The bill reconciling the two versions passed the House at 11:58 PM that same awful day of anguish by only nine votes. It was not the titles of those seven and nine that pushed an unwilling America towards ruin, it was their power.
In 2009 Rick Santelli, gave voice to working-America’s rage. Since he first roused us to the New Boston Tea Party, great conservatives from New York to California rallied as never before and, reveling in their dearth of titles, set the country on fire, redirected the debate, and reasserted the first principles upon which our Nation was founded.
In spite of this unprecedented tsunami of opposition, on that day in March, Nancy Pelosi leeringly sashayed past thousands of protestors, clutching the gavel of power.
Our indignation mattered not. Our clever signs counted for naught. Our honored troops, flags, anthems, and rediscovered Constitution were powerless to stop that gavel from crushing We the People.
Instinctively, conservatives turned all their energy to November 2010. Republicans who leached a royal life off kick-backs, who had all but fossilized in their seats in House and Senate, crumbled in primaries that put all Washington on notice, “The Time of Pillaging is done.”

Use broad brushes much?
Blogs are allowed on FR. But they are NOT allowed to use FR for hits. All they have to do is comply and not excerpt. Why is that so hard?
So FR is the ONLY front in the idea war with liberalism? That's seems kind parochial and even arrogant.
Yes. It's a great time saver.
And Jeanette is one of the good bloggers
If she was pushing Perry or Cain instead of Palin, would she still be good?
Or do you define "good" as sharing your preference?
Happy 15th Anniversary FreeRepublic.com! Established September 23, 1996
Lots of info in that thread.
I will ask you again, why is it so hard to comply with the "no excerpting" request?
You're still dodging the question...why must FR be the ONLY front. It might have been the first news forum of its kind, BUT that was 15 years ago and the internet and mass communications technology have changed dramatically, enabling others to follow in FR's foot steps.
I thought we were all in the war together. But I guess not.
It depends. Cain, yes. Perry, no.
So a good blogger shares your opinions and a bad one does not?
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO COMPLY WITH THE "NO EXCERPTING" REQUEST?
because it’s a free country.
I dont care who we're talking about, this makes me bristle. Yeech.
No...a good blogger is truly Conservative and out fighting for the greater cause. A bad blogger is not Conservative, but only trying to exploit the medium.
And Perry is not Conservative. Cain is.
FR is privately owned.
Not ridiculous. I'm challenging your assertion or implication that FR is the only online front in the war for Conservatism and that Conservative bloggers don't matter.
Unfortunately, it's the harsh truth. Nothing gets changed or stopped unless someone actually has the power to do it. Talk just doesn't cut it.
The answer to YOUR question is obvious. Why do bloggers come here to get hits and pimp their blog? Because there IS no other place like FR.
Now you answer why it's so hard to comply with an easy request of no excerpting......
Very arrogant statement to make, when there are actually.
Then why are you on FR and not posting elsewhere? Hm? Because FR IS the premiere conservative site on the net.
Why are you getting so upset because I disagree with you.
You haven’t answered the question: WHY IS IT SO HARD TO COMPLY WITH THE “NO EXCERPTING” REQUEST?
