This may offend people that like Bill O'Reilly so be warned,
don't read this if you love the guy. I loath and despise him and this recent exchange with George Will magnifies the reasons why. If you watched the video
above there's not much more that needs to be said but let’s expand on this topic.
O'Reilly is not a Republican, he's not a Democrat he's an O'Reillian.
In other words O'Reilly is all about O'Reilly.
He's all about the mass marketing of his show, his books and
generating fame and wealth for himself. He pretends to be the only fair and
balanced arbitrator "that's looking out for you." The truth is the
only person he's looking for out is himself.
He always projects himself as the smartest guy in the room
claiming only he knows the real stories happening in the political beltway and
can dissect them for us common folk.
He's smug, rude, impatient, always talks over his
guests, and dismisses the women he interviews on his show as less knowledgeable
and worst of all he never misses a moment to rip down the Conservative wing of
the Republican Party.
I look forward to the day when his show loses its influence
on the older generation of establishment Republicans. He's not really looking
out for them or the Conservatives. This latest book on Reagan is another
example of it.
I understand that if not for Fox News the Republicans would
not have a voice in the nationally televised media. The problem is Fox and Fox's lead
broadcasters all tend to be left of center Republicans and honestly more
Democratic in their views than Republican or Conservative.
Hannity is the one exception but O'Reilly, Shepard Smith,
Greta Van Susteren, Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, Brit Hume and Brett Baier all
tend to lean to the left of the Republican political spectrum.
I wish people who follow O'Reilly's show and the others
understood that we don't need or want to go left. We need to go right because
we've seen what an epic failure placating with the left side of the Republican
Party has done for us.
The current group in DC has bent over backwards to placate because
they believe the best strategy is to not make waves and wait until after the
next election to make change.
Its baloney, what should of happened is after the
Republicans got control of the House in 2012 they should have been way more forceful
in the budget battle. They caved then, and then they caved again when they got
the majority in the Senate. They've caved on Obamacare, the immigration issue,
the energy issue, climate change, education and foreign policy (Iran deal) you
name it they've taking the path of least resistance.
The bottom line is we as Republicans need to demand and vote
for the most Conservative candidates possibly. We need to elect the most Conservative
leaders in the House and Senate leadership positions.
We need to stop freaking apologizing for doing what's right for
the country. You don't see Obama and the Liberal Democrats apologizing for
running roughshod over us last 7 years do you? And guess what? They won't stop;
Hillary and Sanders want to take big centralized government to a whole new
level.
So turning this back to O'Reilly and the news media, we can
not let a few mouth pieces that don't hold a real Conservative view dictate the
terms of our final surrender.
Stop watching O'Reilly, turn your radio on or listen to Mark
Levin on your computer. He's the best Conservative in all the media period. Get
your news from websites like freerepublic.com or other Conservative websites that spell it out
with a Conservative spin.
Stop believing that Fox News and their prime time Anchors
can save the Republican Party. They won't, if you want to be a truly informed Conservative
look elsewhere for news and opinion. We don't have the luxury of losing another
Presidential election or losing the House or Senate again.
Starting a 3rd party will fail so we have to do it within
the Republican Party. That means finding and electing the most Conservative
people we can find and stop electing the establishment Republicans.
It may take several elections to get there but it's the only
answer to get us back to the right. And when I say right I mean right.
