Here comes the left
Here Comes the Left
BillOReilly.com
My comments in red.
Emboldened by the Democratic victory earlier this month, the far-left is rising like Dracula at midnight. Just days after the vote, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to ban Junior ROTC in the city's high schools, tossing more than 1,600 students out of those clubs. The Massachusetts legislature refused to allow a vote on gay marriage, even though more than 170,000 Bay State voters signed a petition demanding to be heard on the subject, and a Vermont press group honored Judge Edward Cashman, the guy who sentenced a brutal child molester to 60 days in jail.
It's creepy, but the "Dracula rising" comment FITS.
The far-left in Massachusetts is almost as bad. Gay marriage was imposed in the Commonwealth by three judges who found a loophole in the state Constitution. Marriage was not expressly defined as between a man and a woman. Presto, traditional marriage has company. But my question is this: If marriage is a Constitutional right, which it is not, why can't polygamists get legal ? How about triads ? Why can't you marry your mom ?
Or your sister. Or ... God KNOWS what
If one alternative lifestyle, homosexuality, is granted license to marry, you have to include other alternative lifestyles as well. That's equal protection under the law, is it not?
Yes ? No ? Maybe ? We don't really care to ANSWER that do we ?
But the secular-progressive movement doesn't care about the Constitution. It wants a brand new America where the people don't call the shots — the "enlightened" minority sets the agenda.
They're "enlightened" all right

Thane, if it keeps up we might finally get to take up arms against the fed.
That is of coarse unless they can keep enough people distracted with reality TV and ignorant in public schools.

Gay marriage is a state issue. By most accounts gay marriage isn't real popular except in extreme liberal states so Bill is making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Bill is a NeoCon but won't admit it because he couldn't claim to be fair and balanced.

Whatever the hell a neocon is. I don't listen to bill. I listen to Savage (his worst competitor). But this writing struck me as interesting and true.

People are watching less and less T.V.
A lot still DO but a lot DON'T now days. It's such garbage anymore.
People are finding homeschooling and alternative schools (religious etc.) more
appropriate today TOO.
They won't succeed in keeping enough of us distracted with garbage for long with all of the different media sources (ie internet radio etc).

Bill still has a T.V. show? Wow. To be honest, I really don't watch broadcast news. I will watch the local news, but that's about it.
If something blows up though I'll switch over the CNN or FOX.

> Whatever the hell a neocon is.
After much conversation with various people, and research on the internet, I believe that the philosophy of neo-conservativism can be defined as a belief in 6 basic principles, although "4" and "5" are almost the same thing.
1. Big government and lots of spending, mainly to show how compassionate they are.
2. Military intervention, including first strikes and preliminary strikes, in countries deemed to be a threat to us, either now or possibly later in the future, because terrorism is primarily a military/war issue, not a civil/diplomatic issue, and modern warfare (Weapons of Mass Destruction) is so dangerous, particularly to civilians, that we cannot take the chance and waste time with diplomacy, at least after a certain point.
3. Replacing autocratic regimes with democracies is the best way to fight terrorism and ensure our national security.
4. There can be no criticism of the President of any kind during wartime, and no criticism of a fellow neocon President at all, wartime or not. Criticism of the President equals a criticism and hatred and active betrayal of America itself.
5. Criticism of the civilian authorities decisions of the use of the military is the same as criticizing the military troops themselves and the same as attacking America. If you want to support the troops, and consider yourself a loyal American, you must also agree with all administration decisions regarding military use and foreign policy.
6. The Kingdom of God, as per the Christian Bible, should be established on earth, and the U.S. Federal Government should be the primary agency to implement it.

I would modify this in ways. Not going to bother right now. Not EVEN enough time.

Against it. As long as they aren't killing US let 'em do what they will. We don't want another Hitler type though, mass murdering people in his own country.

The U.S. Govt. has so FAR removed itself from Christianity it has NO business telling us anything about the Christian beliefs. Thanks to the powerful perverts in the ACLU and the education establishment who want all religion dismantled and are succeeding in the first steps towards that goal by rewriting history in textbooks and removing any trace of it from our govt.

Tumbleweed you are correct there. Bill is a blowhard that has gone wild.
He is arrogant and has no fucking values. He would support dictatorship and he has a personaty of dry toast.
