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

We have satellite — Exede. That is one of the many sub-services of viasat who also own Direct-TV and some other stuff. No cable on our low-housing-density, deep-in-the-woods back road, so it is satellite dish or DSL. Not fast as cable and with daytime data limits, but better than nothing.

I havent a clue if they’re “0” contributers or not.

HTH, Peet

They would still have that 51% of gov. welfare takers that voted for his reelection. I cancelled our newspaper and TV programing years ago. It doesn’t work. There is one consolation, they are not using my money for their subversive activities.

Canceled our newspaper first hint yesterday morning. They asked why and I told the very polite young woman that I was tired of having my blood pressure skyrocket eery morning. She asked if she could transfer me to their editorial department as they would be very interested in hearing what I had to say. I laughed and said “yeah, right, like they’re about to change their positions”.

I just finished canceling our newspaper. Pretty much the same experience as yours. Tried to offer a couple of free weeks (gee, how nice of them!), and then wanted to know why we were canceling. Said I was tired of reading one side of the story on most news items. Silence.

The reality is we primarily took the newspaper that last few years just for the ads. Since my wife has indicated household spending will be much more austere now, that won't be a huge issue.

Actually, I thought that our paper had the most comprehensive obituary page but I’ll get that online.

“Your waitperson is working, just like you, they have a job and are doing it.”

...and voting for Obama. They got their tip when they stole from me through taxation by voting Democrat. Am I supposed to give them even more of my money? And, yes, restaurant workers are overwhelmingly Obama supporters. I, too, will be cutting my tips down, not to nothing, but I certainly won’t be generous…that’s if I go out again. I am tired of subsidizing the Obama crowd with my patronage. F’em.

I was a waitperson for several years and so have been several other people up thread and on other threads. Some of them havge cildren that are conservative. You can't possibly know what a person political affiliation is 100% based on their job. I am a public school teacher and conservative.

“I am a public school teacher and conservative. “

So? School teachers by a large margin are liberal and will be treated on whole as such. I am treated as a white, rich guy in the nastiest of ways by liberals such as school teachers, yet, I don’t hear those liberal teachers say they should treat me as an individual based on my merits.

SO I don’t think there is anything else I can do to kill the nefarious beast that is the MSM. Other than give up TV, but see #1 above.

Then you have no one to blame but yourself. Pathetic.

A true conservative does not stereotype we leave that to the libs.

“A true conservative does not stereotype we leave that to the libs.”

It isn’t a stereotype if it is a true statement. Teachers are universally liberal and vote Democrat. True statement.

Also, how’s your “kinder, gentler” conservatism working out for you? It’s not. You are losing your country all the while thinking too much of yourself. Your piety is killing us.

It's IMPORTANT to accompany your cancellations and withdrawals of patronage (liberal entities) WITH A WRITTEN OR ORAL REASON for your action.

Otherwise, your action is worthless.

Also, please patronize your local entrepeneurs, shopkeepers, restaurants and tradesmen whenever possible. The big chains and website giants can withstand organized and unorganized boycotts, the locals cannot. In my area all the private restaurants are SHUTTERED, scores of them! Only the chains remain.

Some of your best friends and unknown freepers may be operating local businesses!

since I and many of my colleagues are conservatives, it is not a "universal" truth and you are wrong.

Also, how’s your “kinder, gentler” conservatism working out for you? It’s not. You are losing your country all the while thinking too much of yourself. Your piety is killing us. And your in your face actions against a person because of their profession will do nothing but alienate them.

Keep up the good work /sarc

Ask the wait staff if they voted for Obama? If they did say you didn’t serve that and Obama has already stolen the money from me for your tip!!
