There is no question that Bill O’Reilly is the best news guy in the business today. However, for my tastes he is way too close to the progressive point of view. He is too cozy with the kind of people who are wrecking our country so I usually watch him the way I would a disconnected parent from another generation who is out of touch with the reality of our times. The reason I do is because he is simply the best that there is—which says everything that needs to be determined. Bill O’Reilly tells the truth without spectacle and fanfare. So it should be quite shocking to many to watch his Talking Points Memo shown below from a few days ago titled, “America in Decline.” I understand the reason he does what he does with the progressive left, he wants to be a good reporter just after the facts, and he feels he will reach more people if he’s fair and balanced. Largely he is right, he is a bestselling author, he has excellent ratings on his top rated news program on Fox and his stage shows around the country routinely sell out. By most people’s definitions Bill O’Reilly is the epitome of American success, so they should listen to what he has to say. If you have not seen this, please do watch it and send it along to a friend. If you have, watch it again, and again and again. It’s all true and then some and every point made must be corrected in American culture within the decade, otherwise, we will not survive. It is that simple.
To those who say that Bill and those who think like he does is just a bunch of angry white guys spewing hate, it’s time to can it. Those are exactly the kind of people who have delivered us to this precipice. The angry white guys are “angry” because they have been kind, and fair, and open—and progressives have done all of the above to our country—and we don’t like it. It is kind of like telling a teenage kid not to have a party while we go on vacation, but while gone, the kid does just that, and when we returned, the house is destroyed. We will be angry! It only adds insult to the injury when the stupid kid tells us not to be angry!
All the things Bill mentioned have been done either intentionally, or through severe corruption and outright stupidity. This is where Bill and I are very different; he is willing to give progressives the benefit of the doubt where I think they have been quite purposeful. Bill being a strict Catholic guy believes in turning the other cheek to those who vilify him—where I do not. I think it is more appropriate to cut off the cheek of the villain and feed it to them for what they’ve done. But we both agree that things cannot continue as they have.
America has been attacked in the same manner that it was during the Pearl Harbor invasion, or the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist plot. It has been threatened in a similar way as the Cuban Missile Crises was designed to invoke and has been quite literal. The trouble is that most Americans did not define what was happening as an attack because guns and hostilities were not openly declared in the traditional sense—so much of what took America to the place it currently is, went unchallenged.
Now we are part of a country that has had its wealth redistributed to unproductive corners of the world, where fairness has been used as a club to crush enterprise, and stylish feelings have overtaken logic. Probably the biggest sign of the foul play which is amiss is the concluding statements in Bill’s Talking Points, where Lois Lerner testified before Congress yet again and took the Fifth multiple times so not to implicate herself. Lerner being a high-ranking member of the IRS has refused to answer questions as to Washington’s involvement in the IRS scandal that is at this point much, much, larger than Watergate ever was—and nobody in the media, or the Beltway culture have the courage to face down the obvious evil which is taking place. If the IRS will do what they have done to conservative groups, they’ll do it to anyone who stands in their way in the future no matter what the political affiliation. The Lerner corruption at the IRS is testimony in its own way and confirmation that everything so-called radicals like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and many others have been saying is 100% true. It is true until people like Lerner proves otherwise. They can’t have it both ways, use American laws of innocent before proven guilty, and then use the cover of bureaucracy to commit crimes against America. That is nothing short of terrorism and the evidence has proven that Lerner is guilty of it.
But what’s worse than what Lerner has done with the IRS, or the major newspapers who refused to cover the story out of ideological commitment to the kind of change they are trying to impose on the rest of us—is that we’ve let them do it. We’ve been kind, accommodating, and docile allowing them to take the “Fifth” when we know they are hiding something, or lying to us over Benghazi, or the reasoning that energy prices are so high, or taxes are going up, or our health care system has been tampered with, or our jobs are shoved overseas so to “redistribute” them to the gutters of Italy to balance things out with the European Union which has mismanaged itself to the brink of oblivion. We’ve been nice, and we have been taken advantage of.
O’Reilly isn’t inflating the situation in his broadcast on Fox. He’s point for point being excessively factual. The situation is every bit as bad has he stated and if corrections are not made, we are done as a nation—and it will have been on purpose by the enemies of the nation working within our system of government. We have been compromised, and we have a right to be angry about it. Very angry!
