The writer of this piece obviously prefers O'Reilly, probably because he's willing to capitulate to the liberal positions. The writer goes through and lists issues that O'Reilly has changed his position on by moving from the right to the center due to popular opinion. He lists issues such as the Iraq war, immigration, gun control, the Sandra Fluke birth control/abortion issue, and Sarah Palin.
He obviously prefers Bill O'Reilly, whereas I prefer Limbaugh as I don't want someone whose beliefs are based on the popular opinion at the time, but on their morals and firmly held beliefs. I don't want someone who will sway with the wind. They'll be on your side one day but not the next. The writer obviously likes this about O'Reilly because the left like people they can shift to their views based on a public poll. The writer concludes:
Like Reagan, OReilly has a gift for quietly making peace with progressive advances he formerly opposed while excoriating (and often caricaturing) those leftist innovations that can still be dismissed as fringe. If I were a GOP presidential aspirant, Id watch OReilly closely over the next few years, because the Republican candidate who best articulates his brand of conservatism will be the candidate best able to regain the White House in 2016.
One can only hope not.

Who gives a rat’s tail to what O’Reilly Says!
Even Limbaugh has capitulated by saying that gay marriage is “inevitable.”
I say to hell with ‘em both.

The Great Society destroyed the urban family. Today half of all marriages end in divorce and 40% of all children are born out of wedlock, 70% in urban areas. The results and unintended consequences are legion. Generations who can not read , write or ever heard of Pythagoras. Crime ridden cities where there have been more murders in Chicago alone than deaths on the battlefield in the last decade of war. This is LBJ's legacy along with 58,000 KIA and 300,000 + WIA in a war Johnson never had any intention of winning.
So now the state once again in it's infinite wisdom meddles where it should never be. In the family. There will be more unintended consequences and America will go the way of Rome and Cyprus. This is inevitable. Liberals can't help themselves and republicans won't help us.

I agree. When I finally got the new G-sat service here in the Philippines, I was excited because it had FOX News and no CNN.
After about a month, or so, I quit watching FOX at all.
I record Rush, Savage, and Kook to Kook by using Dar.fm, a really great service that will automatically record any radio program for you, and you can play them back at your leisure.
You can also fast forward through commercials and breaks.
Your computer does not have to be online for it to record your program.
Yes, I am pimping for the guy that started it, as it is so good, and I want him to stay in business.
Look it up...www.dar.fm

In point of actual fact, an O'Reilly Republican might pull off getting the nomination away from a Limbaugh conservative but will NOT win the White House!
Witness John McCain and Mitt Romney, both I dare say are O'Reilly Republicans.
The Democrats will always give moderates someone to vote for, while conservatives will stay home rather than vote against their conscience, morality and common sense!

He’s not in favor of it, he just knows that we lost. It’s called realism.

He in fact did say that, and sadly not liking the truth will not stop the Court from ruling just that. He recognizes the handwriting on the wall so to speak.
We are only willing to complain, when we take to the streets let me know.
