So much for conservative voices of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Seems a Philadelphia radio station doesn’t want to be known having a “national” impact but just a “local” one. Too bad, Philly listeners. Guess your media source doesn’t want you to hear anything but their point of view.
Time to change the station on your radios.

Gasp! What? On a Jumbotron?
Was this a memorial proceeding or wasn’t it?
UPDATE: According to comments in the articles referred within the GatewayPundit blogsite, it may well be the picture has captured a video image that is also displaying closed captioning. If anyone can corroborate that, please feel free to speak up.
Even so, for anyone that had managed to watch/partake in the service, I would also like to hear from those who heard this firsthand.
TUCSON – Thousands of people flooded into Tucson’s McKale Memorial Center to hear President Barack Obama speak this evening. The center is now full, and people are being directed to go to the U of A football stadium to watch the event on a Jumbotron screen.
If you have a Flickr (Yahoo) account, try this as a commenter claims there may be better information here. I tried, but I get a message that I cannot view the picture(s).

Oh Good Lord. Contrivances.
At last, a commenter explains it:
I am a closed captioner and I was working that evening and captioned this event for one of our clients. (There are many stations that ran this live, so I doubt I was actually producing the captions seen in the shot.) But I try to use [APPLAUSE] when cameras aren’t showing an audience reaction, as the shot of Obama above demonstrates. It’s not always successful because captioners usually work off of an audio feed that isn’t time-delayed. Our video is not, so knowing whether the camera will cut away or not is guesswork. But you want the deaf or hard-of-hearing to know why the speaker is no longer speaking, if you can. That’s what this is. It’s descriptive, not proscriptive.
Christmas trees ‘make non-Christians feel excluded’
Christmas trees should be removed from public places to avoid making non-Christians feel “excluded”, scientists have suggested.
Un-freaking-incredible. What baloney, bull, shinola.

Otherwise referred to as “Net Neutrality.” Tell me, what is wrong with the internet now?
I mean, other than those areas that one could restrict (if you felt necesssary AND if you would purchase software to protect your kids from) ………
Well, tomorrow the FCC will attempt to regulate the internet. I suspect they didn’t care to read the letter from the U.S. Senate.
UPDATE: Here’s how the FCC decision to implement this “net neutrality” may cost us. Yeah, this definitely needs to be challenged in court. This administration’s goal is clearly intended to drain us of most, if not all, of our discretionary income.
UPDATEx2: Another look at additional problems with this forthcoming regulation and its side-effects by the Washington Post.
Here’s one paragraph that explains the intrusiveness:
Discouragingly, the FCC is intervening to regulate the Internet because it wants to, not because it needs to. Preserving the openness and freedom of the Internet is non-negotiable; it is a bedrock principle shared by all in the Internet economy. No government action is necessary to preserve it. Acting only on speculative concerns about network operators and contrary to a decade of industry practice, the FCC is moving forward aggressively without real evidence of systemic competitive harms to cure, markets to fix or consumers to help.
UPDATEx3: Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) explained on Hannity and her website how the FCC Internet Grab will be put right by the incoming GOP.
It can’t happen soon enough. What’s more, she did an excellent job in explaining the consequences of the FCC’s actions.
And an opinion at the Denver Post:

According to the Federal Reserve examiners that visited Perkins, Oklahoma and deemed a Bible verse of the day, crosses on the teller’s counter and buttons that say “Merry Christmas, God With Us.” were inappropriate.
Excuse me, but the Federal Reserve has not the authority to do this. At least, if they truly understood the First Amendment. It says:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
And last I heard, Federal Reserve, there is NO LAW telling you that you can do what you did to that bank.
UPDATE: Apparently, they got the message and let the bank put back their Christmas ornamentation. Never underestimate the social power of the internet. Explains why some want to regulate it. Oops. Did I say that out loud?

I refer to Al Not-so-Sharpton. A supposed preacher from what I have heard.
Apparently he has a major beef about Rush Limbaugh and wants him off the air so bad that he, and whoever follows him, wants to harangue the FCC until he gets his way.
Well. So much for turning the other cheek or forgiving someone for they know not what they do. (Psst, Al, are you Christian? At all?)
If thine ear offend thee, Al, turn off the radio. Over the top? It’s radio. Not a crowded movie theater and Mr. Limbaugh isn’t shouting FIRE.
UPDATE: HOTAIRPUNDIT has a video (somewhat old) but it underscores the hypocrisy of the reverend. Pity. He can’t escape this one. Nope.
UPDATEx2: Again? Or, still? Sheesh, Al. Learn something already.

Or, simply uneducated?
Apparently he keeps making mistakes, in public, about our history, our Declaration of Independence, how many states we have, our motto – what’s next?

Fortunately, for this union worker.
Even so, this episode reminds many of the intolerance some have no matter what the truth really is. Nor, do they care to think it through in the first place.
Glad I don’t work, or pay dues, to that union.
