PC strikes again

Rosanne's show was just cancelled after she tweeted that Valerie Jarrett is a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. Truth to liberal power, especially in the entertainment world, gets you fired.

    LB, I just read this and wanted to make a point about your reception issue. One of the reasons for going to digital is the ~reduction~ of station coverage area. The government wants you to get your news from local sources, not from distant ones. To counteract this, do your homework and be sure you have a good name-brand converter box ($50 or so), and get a good, old-fashioned, American made antenna and spring for a rotator, and get it as high up as possible. I would look at a higher-end Winegard Platinum ($180) or Channel-Master antenna that handles lo-VHF, hi-VHF and UHF. Stay away from stuff that looks like little satellite dishes, and plastic . You don't need a "digital" or "HDTV" antenna. These are advertising gimmicks, similar to the "color" antennas they sold to "black&white antenna" owners when I was a kid. The color, b&w, and digital signals all ride on the same carrier wave - the antenna doesn't know the difference. If you still have issues, you can add a quality powered amplifier ($100 or so)at the antenna to boost the signal. Gone are the days of TV "DXing" and picking up Texas stations in SC, but you can improve your signals enough to pick up stations in the 50-100 mile range. A good rotating beam antenna is the best way.

    In a free world, it is up the the broadcaster if they wish to continue to employ her or not. If they view her as a liability, it would make sense to let her show go just as if I misrepresent or become a liability my employer, it is their discretion to keep me employed or not.

    Imagine that collectivist bent saying being constantly pounded into children. Then growing up they robotically follow that mystical voice in their head that says, “There are no individuals on a team.”
    Did they really grow up?

    Years ago, when this was beginning to be the mantra in schools, I handed my 10 year old "Anthem", which she read in a single day, and said she understood what was being done to them. I then bought a quantity of the book, and offered them to any classmatew who wanted to read it. I had a lot of takers on that offer, and hopefully, some grew up to be Objectivists, not "team sheep". The school "sounselor" hated me, too bad.

    Absolutely. Her crime was supporting trump, not the tweet. I have less respect for her when she grovels to the liberals to “forgive” her. They never will unless she comes out against trump. She should just say that she said it. And that’s that Some people do look more like apes than others, and so what. And some apes are more rational than a lot of humans.

    At least Roseanne didn’t use the label, “super predator,” else she might also win the popular vote for president.

    Remember what the media did to Howard Cosell ostensibly for one remark during an exciting punt return in a football game, (after decades of him treating everyone equally offensively)?

    And that's the point, she has the inalienable right to be happy in her stupidity.
    Let the cookie crumble however it may and what's ok or good for the geese is good or ok for the gander.

    I think that that is so. I have not seen the new "Roseanne', although I really liked the old one, because I lost my TV reception when they went digital; my sister sent me a converter box, but I have been unable to find an antenna that is not a piece of Communist crap.

    "... what race Muslim and Ape are."
    The races are Gorilla, Orangutan, and Chimpanzee.
    And for "Ape", the races are ...
    Oops, now I'll lose my TV show, unless I turned out to be a declared leftist talking about Jews or Christians, which the fake media would say is okay.
    And which race likes to be on their knees like a 19th-century slave when the National Anthem is played? That's the race called "NFL".

    I see s persons culture way before I see their skin color.

    There is a huge diversity in the looks of humans. Some are quite close to ape ancestors, and so what really.

    From:
    http://products.sanofi.us/ambien/ambi...
    AMBIEN may cause serious side effects, including:
    • getting out of bed while not being fully awake and do an activity
    that you do not know you are doing.
    See ″What is the most
    important information I should know about AMBIEN?″
    • abnormal thoughts and behavior.
    Symptoms include more out-
    going or aggressive behavior than normal, confusion, agitation,
    hallucinations, worsening of depression, and suicidal thoughts or
    actions.
    • memory loss
    • anxiety
    • severe allergic reactions.
    Symptoms include swelling of the
    tongue or throat, and trouble breathing. Get emergency medical
    help if you get these symptoms after taking AMBIEN.
    • falls, which may lead to severe injuries

    Racism clearly falls under the abnormal thoughts and behavior details.
    Perhaps I didn't follow the racism story in enough detail. To which race was Valerie Jarrett ascribed—Gorilla, Orangutan, or Chimpanzee?
    Remembering when I saw The Planet of the Apes in the theater in 1968, I would assume that Barr was describing Jarrett as a small fossilized plastic head that made a squeaky noise when squeezed.
    But that would not have been a hallucination at all.

    "Some of us stil look like our ancestors more than others."

    The more critical part to me is that some of us (being the human race) ACT like it more than others! =D

    Rosanne is very well off, thank you very much. She made a fortune off of her previous sitcom and was set to make another on this one. I feel sorry for the hundreds it takes to put a show like that on. They were looking forward to many years of good paying jobs for the foreseeable future.There's no going back. The racist tag is as dire a word as the F-bomb was in the past. You can call anyone anything and it won't stick, but not a sentence deemed racist. That sticks to you forever. Which is why the left keeps calling Trump a racist, even though they can't produce a racist remark except for some that's beyond even their twisted minds to conjure up.

    Sadly, the younger ones are taught herd-think in gov. schools, as well as "There is no I in team." Objectivism scares them to death. If the libs can't figure out what we are thinking, they "spy" on us, via things like Echelon or wire taps, so they can figure out a way to demonize our thoughts, or brainwash us.

    I can see a world wide war by self-professed morally superior leftists on cleverly offensive comedians that dare to ridicule the PC culture.

    Hopefully, she got paid a lot and can live nicely on the money. It was doomed as you say, though. She shouldnt apologize. It makes her look bad.
