Folks,
Here is something I just learned that some of you may already know. But, I think it is a good internet hint.
We all know that the world of the internet and blogs are driven by links. When links are made for a page it helps drive up its page rank and will, therefore, help that page be salable for advertising.
We DO NOT want to help leftist sites do this. But we need to link them when we are talking about a story, right? How do we avoid the fact that our "link love" helps drive up their page rankings?
Well, there is a way to nullify a link for page rankings. It's called a "nofollow" tag.
A more technical explanation can be seen here:
Using (and Abusing?) rel=”nofollow” to Preserve Page Rank.
But what happens is that when you insert a "nofollow" tag into your link html your linking to an outside site will not help the outside site gain better page ranking. So, we can link all we want to lefty sites and NOT help them grow and improve their page status.
Here is what it should look like:
a href="http:www.linkgoeshere.com" rel="nofollow"
Of course start the link with the < symbol and end it with the >.
I hope this helps some of you who weren't aware of this cool little way to deny liberal sites any success!
Yours,
Warner Todd Huston

Then I started using it on them, and they had the gall to complain!
I use the tag not only for progressives, but for any website (especially conservative) that I feel has gone off the reservation, and attacked their fellow conservatives (LGF and PM are who I deny the credit of a link because of their ugly activities...
