I love Brokeback Mountain

Is there any crime that is rewarded more richly by the United States...

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.

I did join two days ago. Is that bad? I was simply looking for like-minded people. I apologize if that gives you a negative impression of me. I had never heard of Free Republic. Sorry if that offends anyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the thousands of posts since I have joined. And yes I am very sweet.

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.

Just curious.

Are YOU a BARE-backer?

[humblegunner]

Even though you don't really love Brokeback Mountin'...

[LivinRight]

Were you disappointed that you didn't find a Brokeback Mountain lover? Come on, give me a break. And Monsters and Critics is not my website. It's a news website that I have a column on. Did you already have a speech prepared? Ah shucks that would have been fun

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.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Then this one's for you!

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