No mostly those lousey credit cards. I know that some people pay them off monthly, but I think that is a rarity.
you may be correct, as the prevailing media is so far dominated by the left. of course, there could be another avenue... fight fire with fire.
there needs to be a media production area, like hollywood, that produces right-leaning material. then, there needs to be a few (ie:3-10) right-leaning channels available for people to watch. people need the variety, so bulk is good. keep in mind, i’m not talking about far right for all channels... middle right is enough. you have to start somewhere.
i would also make sure there are some financial shows available, helping people get themselves on track.
there should also be programs that can help guide people (not necessarily overt religious... but just a general guiding light kind of thing). if all the shows did was pre-suppose the existence of a benevolent G-d, that would be a far step from where it is now.
there should also be magazines and maybe a newspaper.
keep in mind, most people are tired of hearing nothing but bad things. you hear that complaint all the time. why is the bad stuff constantly being reported? to attack/diminish the US and our society with every report. leaving people with a ‘there must be something better’ feeling. (at which point they will react to ‘change’)
keep in mind, there would be a market for all this stuff. over 85% of the US is Christian and 95% celebrates Christmas... yet the media does not cater to this side of the populace. start producing feel-good shows that parents do not have to worry about their kids watching, and you’ll get a guaranteed market.
these are just some of the ideas i’ve had to help undermine the liberal media death-lock we have now.
It helps me a little to think in terms of differentials. 200 years ago I would not have lived to my 12th birthday, owing to acute appendicitis at age 11.
I am 60. What right have I to complain if I croak tomorrow? None whatsoever. In the vast history of the human race, to live to 60 is a prodigy.
So I ask God to strengthen my faith and to guide me into those decisions which will be best for my wife and child.
There are already about 38% of the citizens who are heavily invested in continuing the progression of socialism and will therefore always vote Dem. Then there’s about 16-20% of people who don’t truly pay attention and will flip and flop from dem to repub depending who has the “brand name” candidate. With the demographics headed the way they are the frequency of democrats winning elections will only increase.
That plus it’s easier for a Dem to follow a Rep because there isn’t anything to do but expand govt.as it’s been doing for the last hundred years. When a Rep follows a Dem they’ll find out, like Reagan, that it’s nearly impossible to actually cut spending and govt handouts.
Dems move us 5 steps closer to socialism and conservative Repubs can maybe move us 2 steps back at best.
The Fox Business Channel is already in trouble, due to low ratings, and your financial ideas could definitely help better the Fox Business Channel, if they would actually do these things.
There are already four websites that focus on happy news. http://www.happynews.com/ http://www.thehappynews.com/ http://www.squidoo.com/happyposts http://www.newsun.com/
an ounce of prevention, but it’s too late for that.
