Game Changer!

         The following was my very first post back in November of 2008! The topic was A La Carte Cable.

         If only it were just a "vast wasteland!" Unfortunately, television sculpts and molds the American mind. We have become a society that learns from visual sources rather than the written word and we are at the mercy of the cable package. There is a bill in the Senate on giving us the right to choose our stations but its purpose was to lessen our cable bill. Some say that it will not do that. I don't care. I want to support only stations that have prefigured the effect on a society into its programming. Boycotts cannot do the job. Give us a year of "a la carte" and some networks will respond. In my mind, this is not a minor thing. I can see a major improvement in how our society forms a consensus on many issues simply by weaning itself from what television throws at us. If you agree with this please talk the issue up and contact your Representatives and Senators.

         As I write, the Fox News web site is highlighting a bill in Congress that would give consumers the right to purchase only cable channels that they wish to have come into their home and also make it that they would no longer be financially supporting those that they want no part of. The recent MTV Awards show brought the issue to the fore once again and it will probably return to the back burner as the outrage subsides.
     Yes, there is a bill in Congress but the only way that it ever get to be voted on is if the people demand it. If the article on Fox is gone by the time that you read this you might Google "A La Carte Cable Bill, Act Would Give Parents Power to Pick TV Channels." As I implied in my first post, the consequences of a la carte cable would be nation changing.
         The only way that the Barack Obamas, Hillary Clintons, Joe Bidens, John Kerrys, Susan Rices, Samantha Powers, David Axelrods, Nancy Pelosis, Harry Reids etc. etc. of this nation could attain and retain power in the highest echelons of American government is because a sizable enough proportion of its people have lost all discernment, all ability to analyze, just about all common sense and logic and rendered themselves defenseless and gullible patsies. Television has been a tool of the Communist and the Progressive. Take that tool away and their game plan will be severely compromised. Take that drug away and many more Americans will awaken in a state of outrage at what has happened to their nation.
         No, this isn't a minor issue, nor an issue over consumer prices or moral outrage. Give us this key to unlocking and freeing the captive audience and it will become a fair fight and the forces that have pummeled our Constitution, ravaged our families and taken us to the very precipice of destruction will be routed.
         As the articles states, A La Carte Cable will be vehemently opposed. I concluded that first post with "If you agree with this please talk the issue up and contact your Representatives and Senators." I'd like to change that. Prayer is more powerful than those contacts and those contacts without prayer will be futile anyway.
