Bill O’Reilly will flee to Ireland if Sanders is elected. He’s in for a shock
Wash Post ^ | 1/16/16 | Henry Ferrall

Bill O’Reilly, the host of Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” is threatening to flee the country if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — the self-described democratic socialist who is running for the Democratic Party nomination — is elected president. As quoted in the Huffington Post, O’Reilly said:

“If Bernie Sanders gets elected president, I’m fleeing … I’m going to Ireland. And they already know it. … I shouldn’t say it publicly because that will get Sanders more votes,” he said. “But I’m not going to pay 90 percent of my income to that guy. I’m sorry. I’m not doing it.”

O’Reilly 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 doesn’t 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.

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?

The Irish - those Palestinian-Lovers - deserve him. And he deserves the left-wing loons who make up that little island.

Isn't Islam the fastest growing religion in Ireland, churches closing every day, and being converted into mosques?

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.

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.
