The government had damned well better get out of people’s hair in the country distilling their own alcohol for fuel should this ever (not bloody likely)happen.

I also have grown weary of the gloBULL warming message that ends EVERY SINGLE SHOW on the Animal Planet.

I just want to see some cute animals doing cute things!

The Psedo-History Channel, where Liberals can make things ‘true’.

At least one area radio station runs a PSA about using too much electricity, wastefully.

Little Billy wants to go to the State Fair, but narrator says poor Little Billy can’t go to the fair and ride the roller coaster because Billy and his parents wasted too much electricity.

The narrator promises Little Billy that he can go to the State Fair and ride the roller coaster — next year — but his parents have to go out and buy energy efficient appliances and gadgets for the home, first.

[The indoctrination is all around.]

Boy, you can say that again. The History Channel use to be great television. Then it went to hell in a handcart. It use to be you could tune in and get The rise and fall of the Roman Empire or other great shows. Now you tune in and get Ice Road Truckers. What does that have to do with history? The History Channel is a joke now. However my cable provider has History Channel 2 on another channel and they do broadcast a lot of the older History Channel Material. I watch HC2 all the time now.

Right, we only need to empty the cities, slaughter the intellectuals and put everyone to work on farms with backbreaking labor.

Khmer Rouge comes to America. I meant...er... Democratic Kampuchea of course.

There is some good stuff on the History channel every once in a while. I just avoid the ancient aliens crap and the green fantasies.

One of the best you’ll ever see.

The History Channel is not about History any more.

Certainly there is nothing historical about Swamp People or Pawn shops. Some old thing are found in the Pickers, but that is more like antique shopping than History.

The shows that are not pure entertainment are attacking the Bible by saying we are descended from Aliens, or warning us about the Oceans devouring New York. Others try to equate Biblical writings to earthquakes or natural phenomenom.Anything but that the “Almighty” might have had anything to do with it.

Admittedly some of their shows are interesting, but History is no longer the basic premise for the History Channel.

One of the reasons we cancelled TV was that every program on Discovery inserted the AGW propaganda at exactly 4 minutes before the end of the show, History was no longer about history, FNC was flashing “News Alert” 3x/hr. We are content with Netflix, GBTV and Internet and we read.

In fact, right now we are out of town, have full cable, DH is reading, I am here and we haven’t even turned the TV on, so far.

The History channel has always been run by libs, but for the most part I think it is still ok. I'm more pissy about the their treatment and similar channel's treatment of Medieval/Renaissance weapons and war fair. The most egregious was one of R Lee Ermy’s comparison of a European longsword and a katana. Katana was better at everything including stabbing. Total BS. They had a craptastic E. Longsword and no explanation of how it was PROPERLY used

In a way they are right, biomass burners is the new green fuel, but was invented in 1900, it was called water gas then. They took a glowing bed of charcoal and sprayed it with super heated steam. The produce was C+H2O=CO+H2. This fuel can be run in an internal combustion engine directly. H2+O=H20 and CO+O=CO2

The new solar collectors that power these systems are so very high tech and efficient, they work on rainy days and make batteries automatically. They are also very easy to produce, they are nano designs that you place a small particle on the ground and they erect the whole structure from elements it gathers using energy from the sun to weld it all together. Ater creating battery banks called cords, they create thousands of replacement nano particles called seeds. It is currently called a Tree!

It is amazing technology! A self perpetuating solar array that can generate electricity with the right generator system.

Just imagine what somebody with an idea like this could do with 500 Million bucks from Obama. Green energy that is shovel ready, not kickback ready: Here

The other day I ran across the History Channel online and they were doing a thing on Mt. Rushmore. Having just gone there I was interested so started watching. They were trying to prove the man who carved it was a white supremist. Sickening.

“The premise is that, one day, all the undrilled oil in the world vansihes. Not used up, just vanished.”

Clearly this is the fault of ancient aliens.

Isn’t it about time for the History Channel’s annual war on Christmas?

No wonder kids are neurotic. After seeing all the apocalyptic shows like this and “Earth after People” and such who would have any hope?

Without a vision the people perish.
