But the last couple times I said freepers were funding the demise of America through their refusal to cut dish/cable, several put Football and Nascar above it...because they just had to be entertained.

I already don't do business with any of those five companies, I also refuse to buy another GM product ever again, period.

I also don't have Cable or Satellite TV (dropped DirecTV last August) and instead have over-the-air TV. Occasionally rent a movie via my Roku device (gee, I hope I don't have to give THAT up...) from Vudu (I hope they're ok....)

In principle, I agree that we should be very careful where and how we spend our money. I'm a cheap bastard (seriously cheap....) so I hardly spend money anyway. My own vehicle is 11 years old, going on 12. I'll drive it until the wheels fall off.

Even then, there are times when alternatives to products and services that are not from some whack-job left-wing environmental whackjob are hard to find.

We should all do the best we can and recognize that sometimes, there are no suitable alternatives.

I completely agree. But I am unaware of anyone’s life ending via a lack of cable/dish/nascar/football.

I’m not og the seriously cheap variety. I just think the hypocrisy of people bitching about cultural collapse/the msm propaganda et all on the Right holds little water when they send 4 figures a year directly to the people who in large part, cause it.

My cable/dish experience ended around the time Dale Earndhart did. And not because I like NASCAR. I just realized I was helping liberals and stopped.

If someone can explain to me how it is that continuing to send a grand or two a year directly to people pushing gay everything and race wars is a conservative Idea that empowers America (to use a liberal buzzword mockingly), I am all ears.

Have you noticed that many conservative talk radio stations feature adds from local businesses and businesses that are not sold at stores? It would be a good thing to patronize some of these businesses rather than going to the nationally advertised stuff.

Some liberals like to promote supporting local business, we can agree with them at least on this issue.
