The worship service has started.
Yesterday, I was all set to write a smug, self-congratulatory post regarding my tremendous wisdom in finally dumping Comcast a few weeks ago for the complete Verizon Fios package, including cable. With Comcrap now establishing an all-Obama channel, isn’t it finally time to make the switch?
Sadly, however, Verizon did something yesterday that I think is far worse: it left a rambling, pre-recorded message on my home answering machine imploring me to watch his “historic” inaugural, using a tone that assumed we are all liberal Democrats and Obamists.
That’s the worst aspect of the Obama cult/fad/American Idol victory (or whatever you believe this is really about): we are all compelled to participate. Like it or not, Obama is being shoved down our throats through a daily pressure campaign that permeates every aspect of our lives. Resistance is truly futile.
Between Pepsi cans, newspapers, magazines, television, clothing, bumper stickers and just about anything and everything else, there is no escaping their Messiah’s divine image.
That’s EXACTLY how it’s done in North Korea, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Cuba and other assorted basketcase banana republics across the globe. Is this still America?
You know, I think tomorrow that I will wander down to my local Verizon store, pay off the early cancellation fee and get a new provider. I don't need stuff like the above and I certainly don't need to spend money with them.

I would also do the same if I did any business with Comcast. But I don't. For those of you that do there is Direct TV. And soon, at least in Tennessee, ATT will be offering cable TV over your phone lines.
Details on Comcast:
Do you need Obama coverage 24 hours a day? In several markets, Comcast cable is launching an all-Obama, On Demand channel. (In D.C., it's channel 963).

Hat tip to Newsbusters.
You're stupid, OK? Could you provide a link to Verizon or Comcast's information about inauguration coverage? I have doubts about the voicemail you say was sent to you. Are you aware that changing of the president peacefully is really the biggest news this week? It's not just about Mr. Obama, but also about a democratic, peaceful transfer of power. This post of yours is not putting America First (tm).
ReplyDeleteMatt, you are the typical Leftie.
ReplyDeleteFirst, you do a personal attack by calling me stupid.
Now. I gave you two links to the sources which you evidently can't figure out how to use.
So who is stupid?
And electing and installing a new president is not news. We have done it 43 times before and this is the 44th.
(Yes, there was a world before you were born!)
What is news is Verizon, a telecommunications company urging its customers to watch.
What is news is Comcast, a cable TV company with no cable competition in most of, if not all, of its government regulated markets providing an "all Obama" channel.
As the author said, that's how it is done in dictatorships, not in Constitutional Republics. (In case you don't know, the latter is us.)
You're still stupid, dearheart. The inauguration of a president is news. It has happened several times more than 43, by the way.
ReplyDeleteIt was news every inauguration before Tuesday, and Tuesday is just as big as every one of the others.
Regarding your supposed voicemail from Verizon, I just don't buy it. Did you record the message? Is there any way someone else can verify this message? Has anyone else recieved a similar message? No, no, and no. I have doubts that it happened. What purpose would it serve to tell people they can watch the news? It doesn't.
Yes, Comcast and Verizon are covering the inauguration. So is literally every news organization in the world that can afford it. Why? Again, it's big news.
You hate the guy. It's apparent in how suddenly an inauguration of the most powerful person in the world is not news to you and yours. You have the right to hate him, and I wouldn't attempt to stop you from hating. Just be honest about it, OK?
