I don't really love Brokeback Mountain. I have never seen it and don't have any plans to ever see it. It was a catchy headline though. I have been writing a conservative column for a local newspaper for five or six months. The readers of this paper are very liberal and love to give lots of negative feedback. Conservatives are strangely quiet. Recently, I have begun writing a column for Monsters and Critics. This column has a much wider range of readership. Here's my problem: It seems to me that conservatives are not nearly as vocal as they should be. They are no where near as vocal as liberals. Under each column that I have written for Monsters and Critics there is place called Talkback on M&C and a button that you can click that says "talk" which allows you to post comments right under the article expressing your opinion. The more talkback you get about an column the happier the editor is since this means you are bringing people to the site. I was hoping that I could convince some of you to visit the site (I have posted the link above) and if you feel like the columns are worth your time then you could add a talkback. You don't have to join the site or register or anything like that; Monsters and Critics allows you to post no strings attached. If you don't like the columns for whatever reason that's okay too. I am willing to take that risk. They are meant to be somewhat satirical but the liberal readers take everything so personally. They always attack me personally never the column. I am a big boy though and I can take it but I would like some positive comments every now and then. Thank you so much.

You're probably going to get more posts like the ones above, and you deserve them, even though you are a conservative (so you say) and probably feel you've done nothing wrong. I will give you a hint.

Conservative or not, people don't like clicking on a thread here and finding not the topic advertised but someone who just joined and only wants hits on his website.

Post a deceptive headline to pimp your work so you don't get fired.

I think you'll be getting all the feedback you desire.

You see, that's "N" before the ZOT. Kinda like one of them there word puzzles.

Welcome to Free Republic--you will find the posters here great--they're the most creative bunch I've ever seen. You will find the best humor and the best analysis--often by the same person.

I checked out the site & saw you had 4 articles. The first one on Gore had more supportive comments than negative. Your other 2 had no comments. The latest one had 1 comment in support. So, it doesn't seem that the liberals are attacking your articles.....maybe you need to be more inflammatory? ;^)
