Let me point something out to "people" on here...

Conservative means to conserve the past. Liberal means to look for new ideas... Who do you think the watch dog should be watching?

It makes plenty of sense to people that don't cover their eyes and ears at information they don't wish to hear or see.

They are inflexible; and, likewise, they never compromise, and always insist on having everything their way. There is no dealing with them. Such persons are stumbling blocks in the road of life, and are best avoided. Indeed, their only importance is the attention that we give them.
Sounds like people who answer everything bad with Bush did it. And yet the left is hiring Al Franken as their representative of what they believe in.... That says more than I ever could.. Well it's okay for the folks wanting their children investigating bestiality...

It used to be you could be on the left or right and still have decent well thoughtful arguments. Times have changed. The far left feels anything you discriminate against be it a bridge, murderer or whatever (besides religion of course) means you are hate and you have no place or any say in the government. Let me clear this up though because this is only from the big L liberals that are now the face of the liberal party. That leaves no middle ground which is obvious. We have come to a cross roads.

Left:
Abortion: Full womens rights none for the "cluster of cells"
Religion: It's fine as long as they don't have to hear it, see it or think about it.
Civil Rights: Everyone should be equal from rapist and murderers to babies...except if they aren't born.

Right:
Abortion: Wrong in almost all cases.. some vary a bit.
Religion: Freedom of religion not freedom from religion.
Civil Rights: Varies from person to person some don't care about gay marriage and feel stuff like bestiality should never happen. Some feel only a man and woman should be married and should not have sex till then so huge variances.

Where can you come to the middle on that? The left willfully labels the entire right as religious nuts who fall and roll all over the ground while speaking in tongues. The right labels the LLLeft as loonies who who want to destroy society...

Sounds to me like we are at a cross roads and seem to be immitating a certain conflict in the middle east...

Let's get back on the topic of Bill O'Reilly.

Agree with MissNCR's statement. O'Reilly's show is indeed crap.

Left can't compromise because doing so would be agreeing to "hate" to them...
