He believes in "Traditional America", is anti-abortion, and anti-pot.

My analysis is that he is a Neo-Conservative



Same old shit from Bill O'Reilly

Sorry, can't be lighthearted. America is in decline and that's a fact. A fact, I assume you already know or feel which is why you have posted this?
I think this is one of the more valuable posts on This MT. You are asking us to question the direction we are headed no?
I don't agree with O'Rielly (well, about 1/2 the time) but when he says we need ONE person to move us forward - that's just makes my eyes roll up and flip inside out. How are we to move beyond thinking ONE person is gonna save us if our major news anchors keep pounding that in us dammit!!!!

I can't help myself. I come here thinking I will engage with everyone and learn new things (the newest tidbit being the latest on this country's mounting secession). NO - we are not the only ones concerned. YES, that is why I can't help myself. MOST EVERY THREAD I OPEN HERE KEEPS DRAWING ME BACK TO ALL THE SAME THREADS I KEEP WEAVING TOGETHER ON DP.
So, I'm tired. I just finished posting my Tuesday night contribution and had thought to unwind before turning in, (why I would think I'd find that on here is worth some thought) but it doesn't seem to matter which thread I open, innocent sounding ones, "your honest light-hearted.... or 'and the same week Lincoln opens' or 'some people'....
Anyway, I am as passionate about where we are headed as all of you here but I'm going to bed. If you want my analysis, you'll have to go to http://www.dancingpartners.info and look up tonight's post - Communal As.
nite.

There's nothing more pathetic than the sound of an old, crotchety white asshole whining about how being an old white man doesn't make him special. (OK, maybe the sound of a young child throwing a tantrum that "somebody wet my pants!!" But it's pretty close.)

No, Bill, being an old white asshole just makes you old, white and an asshole. And that's all.

Just a note for next time...

those "papers please" laws in Arizona... they turned Latinos off of voting for a party that said "I can tell by looking at them if they belong in Mexico."

those "rape isn't such a big deal and if she gets pregnant, that slut wanted it" guys... they didn't help you with women. Nor did the Senator who said that having a baby from rape was the same as being a single mother. That turned off a lot of single parents.

those four years insisting that a black man couldn't possibly be American and... you expected the black community to vote for you?

And finally... I am LOVING that the gay vote... 80% Democratic... accounted for 5% of the electorate. And that 4% alone is what put him over the top. Yes... if you didn't spend all that time attacking the gay community... maybe they wouldn't have handed you your sorry ass at the polls.



But the end of the story is that "Traditional America" is gone because what he MEANS is "back in the 50s when the blacks and the latinos and the gays didn't vote and the wives voted how their husbands told them to."

And yes... we voted that away.

I only got as far as "dangerous views". But I'm pretty familiar with this O's rants. Yawn.

Goodnight!

For some reason a bunch of Pearl Jam fans here on AMT feel an affinity with these crotchety white assholes. And If I keep scratching my head as to why, I reckon I'll soon be bald.

I can understand your anger! but the racist remarks really piss me off!

Why do you lib's preach against racism and hate yet spew it over and over!

Exactly where is the personal responsibility?

I really like O'Reilly so I am biased. I have no time to hear him (watch the video) at the moment
so I'll be back to listen. For me voices are the key to a person's heart.
One can not hide from this exposure.
He and I have connected before so I must listen to his spirit first, his spirit in his words.
It's like listening between the lines.

I wonder when I come back will it all be raging and ripping?

There is no personal responsibility anymore? Especially from the young. Parents were indoctrinated in school just like there children are....just like I was......accepting God into my life gave me the tools to see truth.....
what LIBERALISM and the Progressive agenda have done is take away "consequences" for just about anything....We do not make "progress" by pretending no one is behaving inappropriate. Progress comes when we see the error of our ways and do everything in our power to change for the better. Soon some will be begging for a free America but it will be to late because you are voting for free condoms and abortions and not the real issue.....
Parts are not my words but I feel it is important to pass it on...

This is de-railing the thread a bit, but I HATE the right's characterization that the left is responsible for things like "taking away consequences" and bad parenting. I guess it's easy to point at the other guy and say it's his fault, instead of admitting that people from both sides share blame (ya know, the whole personal responsibility thing that the right always harps on).

We see "conservatives" every day who dodge consequences of their actions (shady corporations, tax cheats, wall street, etc.). I, as a parent, see examples of poor parenting from people everyday from people who are right and left, and I by no means am perfect in that category. But there are plenty of flag waiving, bible thumping parents who either ignore their kids, beat them, outright spoil them, or just pass them off to nannies. There are plenty of liberal parents who do the same things.

So, let's not take the tried and true political approach of "making you afraid of something, and telling you who to blame for it", instead of admitting both sides contribute to the problem.

Personal responsibility my ass.

What facts say America is in decline?

I don't agree Bill and never do.. he is an out of touch old man as well is his republican party.. out of touch.. if he thinks of traditional america is a nuclear family, women as housewifes, miniorities shunned then yes traditional America is gone for good.. thankgod. I could go on but am sick of talking about glen beck and bill's rants.. they are mindless and always en of concluding with the fact that they want to keep diversity and modern thinking out of America when they world is moving on.

I'm coming from a non partisan place when I speak of personal responsibility.
We can not put a red or blue on that in my opinion.
Its an everybody thing.

Irresponsibility is something we don't see in the mirror
but certainly see in others clearly and quickly.

As far as Bill he is much more middle of the road than some think here.
He is respectful to opposing opinions and makes great points that many I agree with
when I'm lucky enough to catch the show, not often.

This piece I just listened to about traditional America is pretty spot on.
I agree with discouraging abortion and the statistics are saddening and revealing.
A breakdown in family.
As far as marijuana, he is correct it will be counterproductive and sends the wrong message,
more will use. Is this a really bad thing? no I don't think so.

I love his manner, his voice, and some of his views. We don't always agree
but I really enjoy him! Someday I would like to 'stalk' him as I did Nelson DeMille
and ask him to sign his book.

Its good to love others even if you don't always agree.

Change can be a good thing but only if it brings us to a place of being better to each other
not worse.

I think asking people to provide a light-hearted analysis of Bill O'Reilly is asking a lot. Maybe too much.

No. You do not get to "there there, dear" me and say you understand why I'm "angry."

You should be angry, too. I'm not hispanic but I WAS horrified by the "papers please" laws that would make harassing Latino American citizens in Arizona legal. We all know that the point of that law was to make people with brown skin afraid to go out in public so the old white people in Phoenix didn't have to see them.

AND....

No. You don't get to cry racism.

Racism is hatred of a race. And when I single out "old, white, crotchety men," that pretty much points out that it isn't the entire white "race" that I'm pointing to. I'm white myself and I'm just fine with sharing the country with people who aren't. In fact.. I like it. If everybody looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other.

I'm pointing out an unavoidable fact.

Back in the 1950s, white men ruled the country. They were in virtually every leadership position from politics, commerce, culture and entertainment. There were no black senators, no Asian news anchors, no Latino men hosting TV variety shows and don't even get me started on how all gay characters in movies were either murders murder victims or limp-wristed caricatures meant only for comedy relief.

There were no "white community leaders" murdered in the 60s but there WERE countless men like Malcolm X, Dr. Matin Luther King, Nedgar Evars and even "get out the vote" volunteers who were killed.

And back then, men worked, women stayed home and cooked and cleaned and voted how their husbands told them. That is the "Traditional America" that people like Bill O'Reilly, Mike Huckabee and James Dobson want to return to and that's the "Traditional America" that Mitt Romney clearly revealed he thinks still rules. His comments about how working women sometimes need to leave early to go home and "cook dinner" showed that he still finds the career woman quaint.

You can try to ignore my very valid argument and pat me on the head saying "I understand why you would be angry" and then call me a racist. But I'm not going to let you get away with it.

Pointing out that America is now a diverse population with many different races and kinds of families isn't "racist." It's just pointing out the truth. Pointing to how the former holders of power are calling our very existence an "attack on traditional America"isn't "racist."

As I've said MANY times here and in other places... Sorry if my bringing up my sexual orientation annoys you. Give me full rights under the law and I promise I'll never mention it again. If that to you is "racist," you're just going to have to adapt to a new world where minorities vote against parties that single them out and attack them with laws and rhetoric like that of Bill O'Reilly.
