News & Opinions

I have to give a big kudos to Fox News Channel. I have discontinued to watch CNN and NBC because of their lies, biased opinions and avoiding of facts.

But, Fox News is not afraid to bring the facts to us, making us aware of all things out there. If it were not for Fox News, there is so much that we would not know, we would be in the dark on many things!

Of course, it could be also just that CNN and NBC are cowards. They could be afraid of the ‘threats’ made by some, about not reporting facts OR ELSE.

Regardless, Fox News reporters are not cowards, and are reporting as they should.

Kudos, Fox!

Now that I have been with Hughes Net Satellite Internet for a week, I can give a further review of their service.

Like WildBlue Satellite Internet Service, they have a limit on the amount of MB that you can use. But with Hughes Net Satellite it is a daily limit of 200 MB.

Now I am going to back track. Although I knew that I was exceeding my limit with Wild Blue Internet Service, I did not know by how much or any details. They did not give me a link to go check my usage, etc.

When I let WildBlue go and went back to dial up, I still had no idea how many MB I was using a day, a month, etc.

Now, with Hughes Net Satellite Internet Service, they give you a link where you can go check all of your information, including keeping an hour by hour report of your MB’s used.

My son logged into myspace, checked his messages on myspace, and listened to about 4 songs.

I checked the MB’s used after he done these few things, it was 60+ MB’s used.

Needless to say, as much as I do online, I am exceeding my limit every day within 2-3 hours.

For those of you who do not know what happens when you exceed your limit - the internet basically is shut off. You may can get your default home page to load if your lucky, but you can do basically nothing else.

I am glad that they have a 30 day no cancellation fee, because first thing Monday I am going to cancel their service.

Well I have learned my lesson. Satellite Internet Services charge $50+ a month and limit your usage to a ridiculously low amount.

With DSL, you are not limited. But Satellite Internet Services know that you are not capable of getting DSL if you are calling them in the first place. So they are going to take advantage of you. DSL - unlimited you can get now a days for $20-$40 a month. I will be so glad when DSL becomes available in my area. Until then, I may have low dial up service, but atleast I am not shut off after just a couple of hours.

We need better Border Control to stop the Illegal Immigrants from coming and taking over our Country.

A few other things that could be done to keep the Illegal Immigrants out, and discourage the other ones from wanting to come to our Country;

Stop enforcing the Illegal Immigrants requests and demands. They came to Our Country, as it IS. We should not have to “change” things in Our Country to please Them.

Stop allowing these individuals to come to our hospitals with no Social Security card/number. The ones who do present a Social Security number, it needs to be verified and validated. (Including checking for possible Identity Theft) They must also have to pay for their hospital/Doctor visits, and not receive free services. If anyone should receive free services in the U.S.A., it should be the Americans, not foreigners.

Stop allowing these individuals to enter their children into our schools with no Social Security Numbers, Birth Certificates and all other pertinent information.

Run BackGround Checks on them when they apply for a job or a loan. DENY them the job or loan when it is discovered they do not have a Valid Social Security Number and are not CITIZENS of the U.S.A.

Stop giving them FREE money and Business Loans to come to our Country and open their own business. This money should be given to the AMERICANS to open businesses. Keep the money in the American’s pockets and in the U.S.A. (As opposed to the foreigners pockets who are sending half of it back to their hometown in their Country)
Stop giving them our Disability and Retirement Money. It does not matter how many years they worked in their Country. Let them draw Disability and Social Security from their own Country ONLY. Not from our Country, the money that the Americans have spent their entire lives contributing to, only to have it near extinct by the time they are retirement age.

Stop businesses from hiring foreigners simply because their customers are demanding it, requesting it, or are dissatisfied. If they (the customers) cannot speak English, that is their problem, not ours. Learn to speak English or go home.

At the rate it is going, Americans will be the minority before too long, and possibly be extinct once millions get tired of the ways here and move to other Countries (look out Canada, here we come!). Can you see explaining to your grandchildren in 30 years why you are one of the only American families left in the United States of America?

The sooner that Congress takes care of this problem, this issue, the sooner the American people can take America back!

We recently discovered that a relative in her mid 50’s, did not know the difference between Democrat and Republican. She believed (Was told by her husband) that the Democrats were for poor people and the Republicans were for Rich people. This is so not true!

First of all, the Democrats are in favor of raising taxes the majority of the time. The Republicans are not. This can be proven by checking their vote history. (Sentaors like Barack Obama, John McCain for example, but of course all of the others also.)

Democrats are Pro-Choice and Republicans are Pro-Life. In other words, Democrats believe it is alright to murder an unborn or newborn child regardless of the circumstances. Republicans believe that life begins at conception. (And yes, they do believe it is ok if a woman has an abortion due to a rape or incest, so long as there is a logical reason.)

Democrats believe that guns kill people and want to take away every persons guns. Republicans know that guns do not kill people, people kill people. I promise you, if a gun walks into my house trying to kill me, I won’t call the cops because I will have a heart attack first. All of the hunters in the world need to really worry about this…. This could end your Hunting forever.

Democrats are also for animal rights. Republicans do not kill pets, they kill the foods that they are going to take home and eat. (Which is no worse than purchasing the meat at the grocery store.) So I can understand why vegetarians are Democrat, but all the meat eating Democrats are hypocrites for being against this.

Now, that is the facts about some differences between Democrats and Republicans.

From my personal experience, I’ve not known any God-Fearing Christians that are Democrats. Christians are mostly Republicans.

If it weren’t for Democrats, we would still have prayer in schools, amongst many other things.

So in short, if you want to raise taxes, kill babies, stop hunting, and continue to lose your Religious freedom, then vote Democrat. Because that is what you will get.

If you want to keep taxes as they are, save babies lives, continue to hunt, and continue your Religious freedom, then vote Republican.

I know that a lot of people do not like John McCain because he is in his 70’s and has somewhat of a temper.

This election should not be based on age OR race. It should be based on what you want for your Country, your future, and what you stand for or against.

Election is less than 3 weeks away. I hope that all of the voters keep these things in mind as you head off to vote.

It’s been so slow, being back on dial up internet access. It gets frustrating when you have to have to wait for 5 minutes for a page to load.

I’ve spent as much time (or more) online this past week, since being back on dial up, but I’ve accomplished 1/3 of what I was before.

I called yesterday morning and placed an order for Satellite Internet through Hughes Net. A nice gentleman came out first thing this morning and installed it. (Talk about fast, Wild Blue took over a week)

And, after installing it, it did not look like a rats nest. (Another improvement over Wild Blue)

I will be spending the next few days getting caught up on everything.

Telemarketers can be so annoying. It was to the point that when my caller id showed unknown or an 800 number, I would just let it ring until my answering machine picked up. Sometimes they would leave messages, sometimes they would not.

Last year, I added my number on the Do Not Call list. However, it seems to have had little effect.

A few months ago, I was in a happy and goofy mood, and answered the phone. I do not remember what they trying to sell, perhaps magazines. Anyway, I started making loud sounds like an Indian doing a rain dance. It totally freaked the people on the phone out, they thought I was crazy and did not stay on the phone long.

My children thought this was hilarious. They laughed so hard their faces were totally red. So now, every time ‘unknown’ or an 800 number calls, my boys fight over who is going to answer the phone.

John McCain definitely won last nights debate, he answered every question perfectly.

Barack Obama on the other hand, did not. One question especially, he really did not answer well. The question was something along the lines of, “What do you NOT know, and how will you learn it?”

His reply was that what he doesn’t know he will ask his wife.

His answer makes it obvious that should he make it to the White House, his wife will actually be the President. Because there is A LOT that he doesn’t know, as he has admitted in the past few weeks.

Even if I were to have ever considered voting for him, this by itself would have changed my mind. I still have a copy saved on my computer, of Michelle Obama’s thesis (that she wrote in college) that was published on snopes earlier this year. Yes, it is the real thing, and it shows just how racist she is and how she feels about white people.

Secondly, he never did get around to answering the portion of the question about what he does not know.

John McCain did answer this part of the question, and answered it extremely well. His answer was that he doesn’t know what everyone else doesn’t know, what will happen in the future (basically).

I do not think anyone could have answered the question better than John McCain did.

And Drill, Baby, Drill. I’m ready for lower gas prices. Not to mention, I completely agree with McCain on his statements of sending millions of dollars to Countries who hate America.

For a year I had been searching for DSL or a Wireless Internet that would be available in my area. I live out in the boonies, and unfortunately, Verizon, A T & T and Comcast are not available in my area. (Along with a hundred other places that I have searched for.)

I debated a while on getting Satellite Internet. One of the things that helped me to choose the WildBlue Satellite Internet Service, was because I am a DishNetwork Subscriber, and it was available through DishNetwork.

To start off you have to wait a week before someone will come out to your home to install the Satellite Dish.

Two men who were supposed to install my satellite dish came out for the first time about a week after I had ordered the service, unprepared. They did not bring the items needed and therefore I did not the dish set up. They had to ‘re-schedule.’

Days later, on their second visit, it took them half a day to install it, and the equipment in the corner of my room looked like a rats nest. They were very unprofessional to say the least.

Now here’s the kicker, things they will not tell you. Being I had been on dial up for long, I was accustomed to downloading and uploading what I wanted, when I wanted, with no idea of how many kb, mb, etc. that I was using.

After being on WildBlue Satellite Internet Service for an estimated two months, my connection was funky. It would not load pages, it would time out and give me error messages.

I called the Support Number trying to get it straightened out. The lady rudely let me know that I had reached my ‘limit’ for the month. When I told her that I was unaware of a ‘limit’ she informed me the information was available on their website as how much I could download and upload per month.

For $50+ (with taxes) a month, I have a limit? Although dial up may be half the speed, it’s only $10 a month and you have NO LIMIT.

I was angry, and told her to cancel my account being I could not get online anyway due to their ‘rules.’ (I cannot afford $79+ a month for internet service, which would be their ‘upgrade’ to lift the low limit)

She informed me that I was under a contract and should I cancel, that I would still have to pay $25 a month for 18 months cancellation fee. Now is this not the most ridiculous cancellation fee you have ever heard of? I could understand a one time fee of $25, but for 18 months?

But I can understand why they do that. They are out for the money. They know their service sucks, and that people will not keep it long, so they want to bleed money out of people any way that they can.

I just want everyone to know all about WildBlue Satellite Internet Service before making a decision to use them.

For anyone who missed last nights episode of Hannity In America (Sean Hannity on FoxNews), you will want to watch it online if possible.

Facts and truths were exposed of Barack Obama’s shady past that he had been attempting to hide.

Of course many people already knew of his connection with Ayers, and knew what type of ‘minister’ he has (Jeremiah Wright), but now the evidence of his involvement with Acorn has come out.
And the donations supposedly made to his campaign is under investigation.

Many people can not believe this man had the balls to run for President with the Radical past and connections that he has had.

Obviously, he did not think his past would be investigated. He assumed everyone would take his word for everything without proof or a background check. Even with his word alone, it’s hard to believe a man who can not talk to you with out the use of teleprompter.

I am eager to see what comes out next about Barack Obama.

I do believe it is now a law in every single state of the U.S.A. to wear seatbelts. Should this law be broken, you will have a large fine to pay. Not only is the money an issue, but more importantly, seatbelts save lives.

So why isn’t it mandatory for all school buses to have seatbelts? I have had a few people tell me that in some cities, the buses do have seatbelts. Well, my question is, why not all school buses everywhere? Shouldn’t they also be concerned with the lives of our children?

School buses are not exempt from wrecks. Many buses have wrecked and many children have been killed or seriously injured. Could their lives have been spared if they would have had seatbelts on?

Regardless of the cost to install seatbelts in the buses, this should be mandatory, or the school should receive a large fine.
