I think if you compare O'Reilly's positions, you'll find you agree with most of them. The FReepers who seem to dislike him the most are those who are primarily financial conservatives.
O'Reilly's stands include:
Supports the war effort, but questions strategy
Supports border security
Supports mandatory sentencing for child molesters
Generally supports traditional values, fights secularism
Considers the ACLU the greatest danger to America
Supports mandatory sentencing
Opposes capital punishment
Opposes radical Islam
Accuses oil companies of gouging, highly critical of Raymond's parachute
Opposes judges who sympathizes with criminals and give light or no sentences
Opposes teaching gay issues to elementary students, being Muslim for a week in California
Opposes MSM, particularly NYT, St. Petersburg Times
Opposes government overspending, pork barrel programs
Was highly critical of the Catholic Church sex scandals
Is highly critical of the Church's position on illegals
Opposes amnesty
Opposes abortion - lots of arguments with PP and NORAL
Critical of Jesse Jackson
Critical of George Soros
Critical of Air America
How many positions do you agree with? How many do you oppose?
Sure O'Reilly is egotistical and can be a real blow-hard, but the man is in our corner 80-90% of the time.
