   It's time to get back to my main purpose...
That is to say, bashing Bill O'Reilly! Okay, so I'm only going to completely disagree with him. But still...

Bill's Current Article is about Reagan (isn't everything these days?). Nothing wrong with that. However, this kinda bugs me;

" Ronald Reagan was firmly against abortion on moral and historical grounds. I have a handwritten letter by him dated January 14, 1980, when he was trying to capture momentum in the presidential primaries. The letter says this: "I have a very strong belief that interrupting a pregnancy means the taking of a human life. In our Judeo-Christian tradition this can only be justified as a matter of self-defense."

A simple statement, but one that could have engendered worthwhile debate about a divisive issue and about America's Judeo-Christian tradition, which today some are seeking to deny and destroy."


Deny and destroy? What the snap!? Sure, America is predominantly Christian, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to follow the tenets of the faith! We do have freedom of religion (supposedly, anyways), so how is it "denying and destroying" our "Judeo-Christian tradition" to allow people to choose? Seriously. I can only interpret this as relating to abortion (and maybe gay marriage?). Sure, it may upset someone's religious beliefs to hear about someone having an abortion. But that is no excuse to force those beliefs upon another.

Now, where's a rant about Bill O'Reilly without showing an example of his overall stupidity? Nowhere, that's where! So, here is your example. The description reads: "Vent your frustration at France by joining the France boycott and displaying this Boycott France bumper sticker. It has a French Flag with a circle and a line through it with big letters that say "Boycott France"." Of course, the man from quite a few Factors ago who accused Bill of being "racist" against France has no foundation for his opinion whatsoever, eh? Sheesh...

Well, I'm off to a wedding later, so I'll have a full review of the catering upon my return.
