Bill OâReilly, the host of Fox Newsâs âThe OâReilly Factor,â is threatening to flee the country if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) â the self-described democratic socialist who is running for the Democratic Party nomination â is elected president. As quoted in the Huffington Post, OâReilly said:
âIf Bernie Sanders gets elected president, Iâm fleeing ⦠Iâm going to Ireland. And they already know it. ⦠I shouldnât say it publicly because that will get Sanders more votes,â he said. âBut Iâm not going to pay 90 percent of my income to that guy. Iâm sorry. Iâm not doing it.â
OâReilly is proud of his Irish ancestry (as a recent emigrant from Ireland and current U.S. citizen, I heartily approve of these sentiments). But he probably doesnât know very much about what Ireland is like these days. From the perspective of its Western European neighbors, Ireland is a small, market-friendly, right-of-center country. But from the perspective of American conservatism, Ireland looks like a hellhole of socialism.

I really want to see a Trump-Sanders election. Bernie will have the Republican establishment falling all over themselves trying to get Trump elected.
Ireland is quickly circling the bottom of the toilet.Membership in the EU is the worst thing to ever happen to her.It’s destroying their economy *and* their culture.
“Always after me Lucky Charms!” —Bill O’Reilly
Interesting that an “Independent” may represent the Democrats in this year’s election. Why can’t the Democrats find a member of their own party to support?
"That's my line!"
Bernie “90% tax rate Sanders” Couldn’t get elected PM of Canada let alone President of the USA.
The dems have gone full retard... LOL.
There are young women and falafels in Ireland, too.
The Irish - those Palestinian-Lovers - deserve him. And he deserves the left-wing loons who make up that little island.
Well, that cinches it. I’m voting for Sanders.
I would move to Poland, myself.
Can we maybe start up a fund to help him with the ticket . . . 1-way.
And loofa
Even if I don’t like O’Reilly, I can hardly blame him for what he is threatening to do.
Because they have adopted the Republican strategy in selecting candidates of "it's MY turn"! Unfortunately for the Democrats, their "next-in-line" is a despicable, lying, incompetent crone.
Elect Sanders to get rid of O’Reilly?
Sometimes the cure really is worse than the disease.
>>The dems have gone full retard... LOL.
They’ve convinced their constituents over the last half-century that their only hope for survival (yes, survival) is through socialism. But, they haven’t implemented it because even the Dem Elites know that it will fail. But the Dumb Masses are chomping at the bit for their wagonload of free stuff, so they’ve found a Democrat who will say the S-word and claim that he will fully implement it.
They’ve become victims of their own lies.
There’s a joke in here somewhere
At least there is an upside to Barney!
