Today I canceled my newspaper subscription. I’ve had enough of the Syracuse Post Standard. It rarely tells me anything I didn’t already know, and regularly keeps readers in the dark on things they do need to know. That’s $23.00 per month I can save, or put toward my higher health insurance premiums that the editors shilled for.
The paper is going under anyway. They’ve announced a bunch of layoffs and will cut home delivery to only 3 days per week (including Sunday) come February. Is it any wonder?
Update: Anyone here in the Syracuse may also want to stop watching 9WSYR, the ABC News affiliate. The night before the election they aired a very biased segment against Ann Marie Buerkle. I searched for it on their website and the video wasn’t available. It was all about how Buerkle is against “women’s reproductive rights” and there was nobody there to rebut what the people they interviewed were saying. For all we know that made the difference in the very close election. I turned it off then and there and won’t be watching again. I had been a loyal viewer for almost twenty years. I used to watch every evening to get the weather forecast and local news, and the noon broadcast on days I wasn’t at the office, but that’s over. I’ve had it.
I too will not patronize the Liberal media going forward. No more newspapers, radio, TV—only websites where I can slam them with a my resistant commentary!

We all need to stop paying people who have declared us their enemies. There are a whole bunch of movies I’ll never buy a ticket to see because of the nsty things that people in them have said about regular people like me, for example. Screw them. I stopped listening to the one radio station here that plays the classic rock that I like yesterday when the morning jock said that anyone who didn’t vote for Obama is a racist. F them. They no longer get my ears and their advertisers no longer have access to me. I stopped buying the dead tree paper long ago, after they turned themselves into propaganda mills for Bathhouse Barry. They can all go to hell.

I had canceled the paper a couple of years ago and my son begged me to renew for the sports section. I figured, why not, I could keep an eye on what they are doing. Not any more. I also stopped buying or going to see any movies starring or made by people who loathe me and my values.
I did hear that JC Penney posted big losses today. Good. They bailed on Rush Limbaugh because of Sandra Fluke. I haven’t stepped foot in the store near my house since.

Yeah, t’hell with them. I haven’t read a newspaper in almost a year and I do not watch televised news, not even Fox. It’s a lot of trouble sometimes but I get all my news from various websites and blogs. Except for the $35/month internet fee, I am not going to pay the bastards to tell me what to think.

Tomorrow, I’ll be calling my cleaning lady to tell her I’m terminating at the end of the year in order to put that money towards paying additional taxes. Hopefully she has enough other customers who will be able to help her keep her struggling business afloat.

Elections DO have consequences! Where do we find a list of all the companies that supported Obama and commence a national boycott of all these leftist patronizers. Yes, it may penalize the workers as well as the stockholders. But what their support to Obama has done to us and the country—IS UNFORGIVABLE!

I have an even better of getting the news. I just wait for The Lonely Conservative email each day! It tells me all I need to know.

maybe that’s WHY JC Penney’s is tan king now, they offended all the people who WORK and had money to spend there! Same thing with Carbonite and others. No more money to people who hate us, surely they all have competitors who could serve us just as well if not better. See how they like it when half (or more since the left doesn’t like to pay for their own stuff) of their customer base evaporates. Maybe they’ll ask for Obamaphones to call and apologize with.

I had the same thoughts today–I will spend the weekend researching what companies supported which candidate and then boycott them and as my conservative friends to do the same (I sure hope my internet provider is on the right side!). Yeah, it’s small. On the other hand, if enough conservatives have the balls to give up their favorite stuff, it might make a difference. They can only force us just so far–past that point, they need our permission. If the only thing you can use as a weapon is that permission–WITHDRAW IT!!
