How Emotion Can Damage America
Bill O'Reilly Talking Points ^ | May 7, 2015 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 05/07/2015 5:45:02 PM PDT by Chgogal

The debate continues to rage over whether an anti-Muslim group was justified in insulting every Muslim on the planet.

As you may know, two jihadis were killed by a brave police officer in Garland, Texas on Sunday after they tried to storm a conference held by the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

The dead men deserved what they got.

But the incident was ignited by a contest featuring cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Any depiction of that Islamic icon is a sin in the Muslim world.

Many Americans believe the provocation was legitimate under freedom of speech.

But that is not the issue. No one I know favors curtailing speech in this case.

The issue is whether the exposition was the right thing to do.

No, Mr. O'Reilly, the issue is whether a religion, cult, or out of control government should be given the power to dictate whether We the People are allowed to mock the said, religion, cult or out of control government without being sentenced to death.

That sir, is Freedom.

Being a Jew insults every Muslim on the planet.

Being a non Muslim Fox News commentator insults every Muslim on the planet.

O’Reilly should write a new Book, KILLING Free Speech.

Looks like he’s an expert in the field.

Being an Infidel is an insult to every Muslim and said Infidel has a choice of becoming Muslim, pay a tax and the be killed if said Infidel does not convert at a later date.

Liked tonight’s “Talking Points” - Republicans helped elect Obama twice because some of them didn’t like McCain and Romney and so gave into their emotions and stayed home instead of using their heads and going to vote for the person who would be better for the country - America has been battered because of it - how true......

O’Reilly has now brought Reverend Graham into his personal argument.

That is such a shame. I have respected Reverend Graham and all that he does. If Reverend Graham is now going to be tied to this Blowhard, I may need to reconsider.

I did hold my nose and voted McCain. The lesser of the two candidate evils. Yet, doing that, i had still voted for an evil.

I decided that would never happen again.

Romney did not gety vote, Virgil Goode did.

A Romney presidency would have been a bit different perhaps, but his agenda parralleled Obamas.

Apparently, the agenda would be better implemented, would be more palatable, if the controlling authority were Republican.

“But that is not the issue.”

Why, of course it isn’t, Bill... (sarc/)

Proud to be an ‘infidel’ to some dirt-inspired, half-wit dream, concocted, probably on hashish, by a child-molester in womens’ clothing.

Proud to be a military veteran of the greatest nation, and I have seen others, on the face of the Earth.

Pamela Geller does us the invaluable service of bringing this human-porcine detritus into the intense light of day for even the apologists and idiots to see.

Even the most "peaceful" Muslim would not speak or act against their Sharia Law. We all know if any Muslim had the fortitude he also would be killed. So much for the lie that moderate Muslims exist.

I say we should draw out in anger all of the deranged little piglets and as has been previously stated, show them both the First Amendment and the Second Amendment in one simple lesson. We should name this exercise "Oinker's Ordnance" or in other words make the Imam squeal like a pig!

This "analysis" kind of overlooks the fact that the Republicans who controlled the House and then also the Senate have done NOTHING to thwart Obama's dangerous and insane assault on our economy, our Constitution, our position in the World, our core values of individual liberty.

In fact, they have bent over backwards to give Obama and the Democrats everything they have wanted.

So please, spare me the phony RINO complaint that conservatives who stayed home were responsible for the mess that our country is in.

Like John McCain would have been better.
