With Amazon Prime, you can also get rental books. One a month, I think. If you are into reading.

Defund the left...this from Ann Barnhardt:

If you do not now understand that the media is enemy number one of you, your family, this culture and of God; if you do not understand that the media is SATANIC, then you are either terminally stupid or you are hopelessly addicted to the satanic filth, agitporn and lies yourself. Pick up the phone, call the cable or satellite company and TURN THE SHIT OFF NOW. Oh, and by the way, I found out how much you are paying for each cable channel. It is roughly $0.12 per month per channel. I saw this figure in a recent story about Algore's Stalinist propaganda channel, Current TV, which they are now trying to sell. Current TV goes into 60 million homes and has annual revenues from their cable and satellite royalties of $86 million. That is $0.12 per subscriber per month. So, you are offering that "pinch of incense" of $0.12 per month (at minimum) for every channel that is included in your cable or satellite package, including the sodomite channel, including MTV, including MSNBC, whether you watch it or not, and even if you block it on your cable box. Your money is still going to these outfits every month, and in doing so you proclaim that "caesar is lord". St. Polycarp, pray for us.

Quit paying their salaries, folks. Television just isn't as important as the country.

#1 Cancel your cable. You’d only be supporting the MSM that lied and defended Obama to the tooth and help secure his re-election. I cancelled my cable and saved $1000 from going to Hollywood and the MSM.

#2 Get some business card printed up that say “Obama’s government has taken all of my money and I am unable to leave you a tip. You might try calling the White House at: (phone number) and ask Obama for your tip.” Leave this on the table whenever you go out to eat at restaurants or places where tips are customarily given.

#3 Before hiring anyone to do work on: your car, lawn, house,etc. Ask them who they voted for if they either won’t tell youor say Obama, tell them “Sorry I cannot trust your jugdment when it comes toimportant matters, how could i trust your judgement when it comes to my car...”

There’s your problem, right there.

This is just wrong. If you can afford to go out for dinner you can afford a tip. Your waitperson is working, just like you, they have a job and are doing it.

You want to punish the Liberal elite, stop going to movies, Buy Ford instead of GM or Chrysler, don't contribute to PBS and NPR. But don't take it out on someone that is working.

Having the power out for 5 days cured me of my TV addiction.

About an hour after the power came back on, I found the TV shows and commercials very annoying and weird, I turned the danged thing off.

This household is gettin' 'er done.

It is time to take control of our money and defund the bastards on the left. Our soldiers can sacrifice their lives; we can sacrifice the media...television, movies, music.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Most of them don't even make minimum wage an hour as it is, it has to be made up in tips.

choke the bastards at the wallet

That said - I want to see the day hastened when the govt goes after the free press

If anyone is using the "free press" product, you are part of the problem

Never had cable, we don’t have TV. Cancelled newspaper about 28 years ago, I think it was.

“Since you can’t just cancel MSNBC and NBC or CNN, you’ll need to cancel your cable TV service altogether.”

Uh, I have a nifty remote control that allows me to avoid the propaganda channels. I haven't tuned into the above 3 propaganda outlets in years.

Why would I listen to propaganda, AND in the process, miss out on the real news? I don't understand why ANYONE would waste one minute listening to Chris Matthews, Candy Crowley, & their ilk. You might as well be getting your news from an expensive astrologer.

I don't consciously expose myself to disease & pestilence. Why would I expose myself to mental & emotional disease & pestilence?

Journalism is supposed to be about exposing the TRUTH & all of it. Given that, these propagandists are NOT journalists, & should be ignored as one would ignore any pathological liar.

Can someone tell me how to get internet without going through AT&T or Comcast.

That's my question,too. I've checked into Hulu and Netfix, but they require a high-speed internet connection, and I only have DSL through AT&T. We don't have cable, never had, don't want it, so all AT&T's "special offers" are of no use to us. Is my only option internet through a cable company?

I already did that, perhaps as far back as ‘07.

One thing I have to stop my wife from doing is spending money at “Whole Foods”. I think she’s on board now with “boycott the left”. They want to do it their way? Let ‘em. We don’t have to willingly participate.

They’re going to find out why socialism always fails - because you can’t make people like it.

Where I live, I have no choice in highspeed cable / DSL.
I’m using 4G, and it’s working fine. Better, even, I think, than my lowest tier cable offering that I had before the move.

Oops...

4G = internet through the cellular network

I just wanted to chime in an say I fired Comcast and the local fish wrap 7 years ago and I feel no worse for it in any way. In fact I think my health is better not being a daily consumer of the skewed, doom and gloom product offered up for sale by ALL networks.

This decision is reinforced every time I am exposed to network television. 8-10 mind numbing, intelligence insulting sales pitches that degrade the main programming in every break, no thanks.

If you can’t imagine life without TV just know it’s possible, and by reading a book, getting up and doing something with family you’ll actually be better for it.

Can I get 4G with my TracFone? I think I know the answer.

Do I have to buy a smartphone and then sign a contract with a cell phone provider? And do I hook the phone up to the computer?

These may be stupid questions to you, but I honestly don’t know anything about these new-fangled phones. We have Trac-phones that cost $100/year, and they are off unless we want to make a call.

The device isn’t really a “phone” at all.
It’s called a “hotspot”.

It connects to the cellular network and acts as a WiFi.
Then your computer can connect to it wirelessly.

If your computer doesn’t have WiFi ability, you can get a plugin USB WiFi antenna pretty cheap.

The problem may be that it is pretty pricey.
You might look into “net zero”.
