Big Hollywood : Gamechanger?: How Would You Like to Cancel Your Obnoxiously Expensive Cable Service?

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:08:37 +0000

I pretty much cancelled cable back in 2005. I tried promotional cable services a few times, but there was so much noise pollution and so little good programming, that I cancelled each time after the promotional period. I do have an extensive video library, and I have a netbook that I can connect to my television to watch Hulu, Glenn Beck, etc. Also, even Fox News didn't interest me because I already had all of the news from the internet, including Breitbart.com and just a few other websites. I just couldn't see spending so much time listening to the talking heads chew for 15-20 minutes on issues that I was already better informed on from a brief, well-written article on the internet. When they start producing quality, conservative material, perhaps I'll go back to TV. What really shocked me was that the reason for paying for cable was to do away with commercials...most of the cable stations have far more commercials than network television did before cable. Best wishes to all, Gail S

Breitbart.tv : Malkin Skewers Media for Questioning Perry's Smarts

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 06:06:35 +0000

Whether or not Rick Perry is the "real deal" is not important. He's the only person on the campaign trail who isn't afraid to fight. Hell, he relishes the fight!. We don't need a statesman or a genius, we need a warrior. This is a man who will take it to the liberals and Democrats fearlessly. Here and now, that is what we need. In all honesty, he's not my favorite candidate. There are others I "like" more, but Perry is a political gladiator and losing is not an option. When the dust settles, anyone can clean up the mess, but first we need to win and that is what Perry does. Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Big Hollywood : A Modest Economic Proposal: Eat Hollywood

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 05:39:06 +0000

That would be a good start, then how about canceling tax credits, and imposing a viable tax on the 47% to 51% of Americans who pay no tax at all? With just a little searching, even this staunch opposer of taxes can find a few areas where taxes could indeed be increased. Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Big Hollywood : Child Molestation Allegations Against Hollywood Must Be Investigated

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 05:29:18 +0000

I blame women. If they were properly submissive and you know, like good muslim women, men would not need to rape children to feel powerful, they could still be raping women, who after all are created for that purpose...just ask Jonathan Swift...

Big Hollywood : 'Gates of Hell': A Political Movie About Angry Black Men the Left Won't Celebrate

Sun, 7 Aug 2011 16:08:53 +0000

When is it going to be released, and when can I buy the video. I've been boycotting the liberal media, and I eagerly await every conservative movie that gets produced! Best always, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Big Hollywood : DVD Sales Slumping, New Formats Not Closing the Gap

Tue, 31 May 2011 02:26:18 +0000

I started boycotting movies and television several years ago. I used to spend over $50.00 per month buying videos. Now, I limit most of my purchases to videos recommended on this site as conservative. I confess I temporarily have cable, but the movies that I've been seeing are mostly a waste of my time. I wonder how many other people stopped buying videos and watching movies for the same reason...liberal brainwashing. I had a pretty large collection before starting m boycott, and looking at many of those movies that I previously enjoyed, I see all of the liberal, socialist and communist subtext and I just can't watch them anymore. Now, I read Breitbart and go to tea parties. If the entertainment industry ever gets back to its real job, perhaps I will start supporting them again.

Big Government : Let Common Sense Solve Obesity Problem, Not Government

Sun, 1 May 2011 05:40:58 +0000

Am I the only person who has noticed that the increase in obesity is parallel to the amount of no fat, low fat and low calorie foods we consume? Someone think the thought through. The more lowfat food we eat, the fatter we get. There is a biological reason for it. People need about 30% of their calories from naturally occurring fats. When they don't get it, they crave empty calorie foods like white flour and white sugar which the body cannot store as sugar, and immediately converts to fat. Go back to old fashioned groceries and your wieght will be just fine. Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Big Government : Union-Controlled NLRB Suddenly Pulls Google Ads on 'How to Start a Union'

Sun, 6 Mar 2011 19:57:46 +0000

This is why I use Yahoo...don't know if they are any more conservative, but you don't hear this kind of stuf about them. And if they ever do, there is another new search engine: startpage.com It looks like de facto boycotts of movies and television are starting to have an impact. Sales, viewership and revenues are going down, and they are starting to slant content to what they think is conservative...of course since they don't understand, leftwing interpretations of conservatism are just as offensive as leftwing material. Now, let's stop using Google. There are alternatives. Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Big Hollywood : Reader Question: Have Movies Gotten Worse Over the Last Ten Years?

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 06:34:29 +0000

If you want to know what's wrong with Hollywood, watch the very excellent movie Chumscrubber. You have to see the extra features, where the movie makers explain that it is a movie about "any city" America. It's not. It's about a suburb of Los Angeles, Valencia. I would never have realized it except that I was actually living there when I saw it. I was a complete square peg surrounded by round holes, and I have never had a problem fitting in. It's not that I was not accepted, it's that I felt like an alien...I didn't want to fit in. This movie explained it. Every character is brilliantly portrayed as a completely 1-dimensional, totally self-involved, shallow individual. People imitating cartoon caricatures. The thing is that is how LA really and truly is, and they are projecting their own image upon a world that is far richer, deeper, generous and wiser than they can even pretend to be.

Big Hollywood : Jon Stewart Trashes Average Americans to Portray All of Us as Islamophobic

Sat, 19 Feb 2011 14:47:14 +0000

The concept of "islamophobia" is the fantasy of the liberal left. It is not fear that muslims inspire with their honor killings, mutiliagions, forced marriages and suicide bombers (all endorsed by the Koran), it is utter disgust and revulsion. These are very different things...Stewart just wishes we were afraid. That would be much eaiser to control Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Big Hollywood : Madison Theatre Company: Angry At Arizona and Tea Party? Come Watch Us Kill Some Conservatives!

Fri, 4 Feb 2011 18:00:25 +0000

But you don't understand...right wingers deserve to die. It's not like saying something mean about muslim terrorists who are merely oppressed and misunderstood. Why oh why can't you understand? [tears and hand-wringing] Ok, I'm finished...but on re-reading the Federalist papers, I came across a rather simple statement: Self government is only possible with a moral population. So, do you see why liberals crave authoritarian government? They are inherently immoral and require authoritarian government, and they assume that everyone is like them, only those right-wingers pretend to be good, something that is really not possible. They just know that if they tweak our noses enough, our evil will spill out to vindicate them. We now know they are not like us deep down inside, they are immoral and we are not. We are capable of self government and they are not. So, it is time for the moral grown-ups to take back control of the whole kit and kaboodle, from government, to education to the arts.

Big Hollywood : Hey Moms, Abortion's Not So Bad!

Thu, 3 Feb 2011 14:01:49 +0000

There is one aspect of abortion that no one seems to ever address. If a woman has one or more abortions then has a baby later, it is only after she had the baby that she can fully grasp what an abortion is. I would expect that some of the emotional trauma of abortion would only surface after a woman fully comprehended her act.

LOL, I am an uber-conservative middle-aged woman who came to your site because my daughter reads your magazine. And, what is the first thing I read, but an article about what a sexist John Mayer is. I heard a few of his popular songs a few years ago and thought they were the most sexist lyrics I had ever heard, and change the channel every time I recognize his voice.

Breitbart.tv : Second Graders Perform Sex Acts in Class With Teacher Present

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 14:23:50 +0000

Who is going to investigate to find out how those children were so predisposed? Children who are sexually abused are likely to act out like that. Who is investigating the abuse angle and why is no one concerned for those children. Then, of course we have the media injecting pornography into almost all forms of entertainment. And please don't forget the 2009 expose of kiddie porn from glsen: http://biggovernment.com/jhoft/2009/12/30/fistgat... Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Impeach Obama Campaign : Video of the Day: RINO Giuliani Says Conservatives Rushed to Judgment -- by Defending Themselves

Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:12:33 +0000

Actually, there were a some conservative pundits who said the right was just as bad as the left for unearthing the grisly details that this nutjob was actually a liberal, reared by hippy parents who started taking drugs in his early teens and considered the Communist Manifesto one of his favorite books. I had to turn off the Mike Gallagher show the following Monday because he was saying that the folks on the right doing that research were just as bad as the liberals who initiated the slanderous accusations. He came out in defense of us a few days later. But the instinct is always to shut down the "radidal right". Remember, most of these guys get their news from the liberal media and then comment on what the liberals say. Very few of them do independent research. Best source for news in general is the FreeRepublic.com website. There are a lot of big government Republicans who are just as happy to subjugate the American people as the Democrats. And they believe whatever the liberals say about conservatives.

Oh thank you for setting me straight Mr. Guilani. Allowing socialists to malign us without speaking up for ourselves has worked so well in the past. We don't need anymore stealth socialists in the Republican party. Best regards, Gail S http:/www.backyardfence.wordpress.com

Breitbart.tv : Maher: Lack of Universal Health Care to Blame for Tucson Shooting

Sat, 15 Jan 2011 16:57:12 +0000

OMG, I am so glad that Mr. Maher explained the truth. And, here I was thinking that all of those complaints from people that Loghner was making death threats and the police refused to take any action was pretty influential in his eligibility to purchase a gun. Silly me! Best regards, Gail S http://www.backyardfence.wordpress.com
