From Fox News: "NEW YORK — More than 2 million households are in danger of seeing their major broadcast TV channels disappear into a fuzz of static when analog service ends Friday, according to surveys."
In danger? Why does it not occur to these bozos that some of us have purposefully decided NOT to go digital?
With all the garbage on TV; ie sexual jokes on every sit com, sexual commercials mid-day, foul language on the most innocuous looking programing - some of would rather just use Net Flix and make our own choices as to what our children view than use any TV programming.
I look so forward to regular TV being off the air, and no longer a concern when my kids are home alone.

Obama Dictates To Israel while Apologizing to others for Arrogance.
.
Obama has been apologizing to the world for what he sees as the historical "arrogance" of America's interference with other governments.
He stated that "no system of government can or should be imposed upon one nation by any other."
He then went on to tell Israel this week how they should run their country.
You want a list of apologies he's made around the world?
Jan. 26: -- in an interview with Al Arabiya
April 1: -- at a press conference ahead of the G20 in London
April 2: -- at G20 summit in London
April 2: -- President Obama, at the G20 in London, as reported by Germany's Der Spiegel, where he said, "It is true…that the (economic) crisis began in the U.S. I take responsibility, even if I wasn't even president at the time."
April 3: -- in Strasbourg, France
April 6: -- in Ankara, Turkey
April 16: -- in an op-ed that appeared in U.S. and Latin American newspapers prior to the Summit of the Americas
April 18: -- at the Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain, Trinidad, where he said, "We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms.”
Again, he says this and then turns around and dictates to Israel how they should run their country.
Now, where's the list of areas where the U.S. has been arrogant, aggressive and selfish over the last few decades? How about when we aided and defended allies in two World Wars, or sent billions of dollars in international aide to needy countries - regardless of race or religion? Then there was the assistance to South Korea in their time of need, liberating Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm, economic assistance to Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union collapsed, tripling aide to Africa, providing over $350 million to help Tsunami victims in 2004, aide to earthquake victims in Pakistan, India, China and even Iran, and then drawing attention to Darfur. Yup, if the U.S. kept its nose out of everyone's business, the world would be different.

Thought Police: Parents better not say anything if their boys wear a dress.
.
During a May 28 broadcast, hosts Arnie States and Rob Williams of KRXQ, Sacramento, began talking about the California Supreme Court ruling concerning Proposition 8, (banning same-sex marriage). States then said, "If my son, God forbid, if my son put on a pair of high heels, I would probably hit him with one of my shoes. I would throw a shoe at him."
Williams said, "They are freaks. They are abnormal. Not because they're girls trapped in boys bodies, but because they have a mental disorder that needs to be somehow gotten out of them." He also said he would tell a boy he was "a little idiot" if he wanted to wear a dress.
Bank of America, Verizon, Chipotle, Nissan Motor Co. and Carl's Jr. restaurants then pulled their advertising from the radio station.
According to a report in The Sacramento Bee, States later said he never advocated abuse and his comments were meant only as a joke. He didn't do anything wrong.
I agree - he didn't do anything wrong. Parents have a right to teach their children according to what they feel is right or wrong, and whether the libs like it or not, most Americans understand that boys are boys and girls are girls. If, despite a life time of having been gently taught right and wrong, my son wanted to wear a dress or high heals, I'd call him a little idiot as well. (in a loving voice, of course.)
I'm tired of how ridiculous this country has gotten. Most Americans feel the same way. The passing of Proposition 8 is proof.
So much for Freedom of speech, thought, and even opinion. All that is fine and good for those that want to swear on TV during prime time, make rude sexual jokes, disparage the WASP's, and even sell male "enhancement" garbage on TV while our children are watching. (You want to know what offensive is? Those commercials are offensive. But who cares what a conservative thinks is offensive?)
Just try to tell the liberals in California that you don't want their world view taught to your children at a public school. You are immediately labeled a kook. When a conservative speaks up, they get ravaged and called every rotten thing in the book. And in some areas of the country, they even get harassed by picketers and crank callers.
Bank of America, Chipotle, Nissan Motor Co. and Carl's Jr. restaurants, the supporters of this kind of behavior, will be places to avoid from now on.

Joel Osteen - Pastor or Profiteer?
.
Joel Osteen preaches that "All people can reach their God given potential of health, wealth and happiness." He tells women to tell themselves;"Ten years from now I will be married" and "He's going to be rich and good looking!"
Is that what God is really looking for in our prayer? God's purpose for us is clearly stated in Genesis 12:1-3 and restated throughout the entire Bible. God's children have a Great Commission to be a light to the rest of the world, and preach the Word with the courage he provides through the Holy Spirit. And the Word, the Good News, the Gospel is this: that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came to die for us in order to save us, despite the fact that we are all sinners and don't deserve his gift of salvation. We have been given the gift of salvation, and all we need to do is realize our sinfulness, humble ourselves, repent, ask for forgiveness, and accept His gift.
Where and how do rich husbands fit into this picture?
Osteen chooses to focus on lusting for potential gifts from God rather than repenting from sin. He rarely uses Scripture and instead, claims he is a Christian "life coach." Yet he doesn't use Scripture as a text. At times, he has even seemed to deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
Osteen seems to be a saleman and "Christian" events are his marketplace. Note the amount of money spent at his events, and remember that neither Jesus nor any of his true disciples required funds from their listeners. In fact, Jesus fed the lot of them - for free - simply because they needed to be fed.
No wonder Osteen doesn't understand the deity and purpose of Jesus Christ, nor the purpose of Scripture, nor the purpose of Christians. Osteen has never studied theology or even religion at a college of seminary. He attended Oral Roberts University for a short time, but reportedly didn't take the theology courses while there.
Pay close attention to God's warnings in Matt 7:15, Acts 20:29, Romans 16:18, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, and 2 Peter 2-3.

Gas Prices Shoot Up
.
According to the national Lundberg Survey released Sunday, U.S. price of gasoline jumped 19 cents a gallon during the past two weeks.
We all knew it was too good to last. What is their excuse this time? Interesting to note, gas prices plunged after Bush opened up off-shore drilling in September. Gas prices began shooting up again after Obama closed off-shore drilling.
Despite claims from the left that off-shore drilling is dangerous to beaches and wildlife, industry specialists say improved technology has made drilling safe. According to a July 2008 USA Today article by Sean Gardner, the "Coast Guard reports that the amount of oil spilled in U.S. waters dropped from 3.6 million barrels in the 1970s to less than 500,000 in the 1990s" and "a report by the National Research Council found that offshore oil and gas drilling was responsible for just 2% of the petroleum in North America's oceans, compared with 63% from natural seepage and 22% from municipal and industrial waste."
USA Today reported that during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, 115 oil platforms were toppled, but only insignificant amounts of oil spilled.
"Offshore drilling is the safest way to go," a specialist was quoted.
So what are the real reasons Obama and the Dems are opposing it? Who are they helping this time?
