A controversial man

Let me start off by saying that I know Bill O'Reilly is a controversial man and he has a lot of enemies. I am not one of them. I am a Conservative and I agree with many of his points. He is my main source of political news along with the rest of the Fox News Channel.

Let me also say that I am very open minded and unlike Mr. O'Reilly, I keep my opinions mostly to myself when it comes to politics. I try to listen to opinions of other parties and make a judgement call on what I feel is best for me. I know that Bill O'Reilly has a brashness about him and many people feel that he is over-bearing at times. I do not. I think he has strong morals and convictions that he is proud of. He has a loud voice in an otherwise meek society that goes off the beaten path and leads toward a stronger America.

I admire Mr. O'Reilly for his honesty and his unwillingness to cave to strong opposition. Regardless of our political status, we should all be so lucky to have a person to turn to that will be more fair, more honest, and be more willing to fight for out rights as Americans than Bill O'Reilly.

Bill O'Reilly on Wikipedia 

'William James "Bill" OReilly, Jr.' (born September 10, 1949) is an American television host, author, syndicated columnist and political commentator. He is the host of the political commentary program The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, which is the most watched cable news program on American television.

OReilly is generally considered a conservative commentator, though some of his positions diverge from conservative orthodoxy. O'Reilly characterizes himself as a "traditionalist." [http://www.amazon.com/Culture-Warrior-Bill-O'Reilly/dp/0767920929 Amazon.com: Culture Warrior (9780767920926): Bill O'Reilly: Books] Prior to hosting The OReilly Factor, he served as anchor of the entertainment program Inside Edition. OReilly is the author of eight books, and hosted The Radio Factor until early 2009. Over the years, O'Reilly's print and broadcast work has drawn both praise and criticism.

Here is a teaser from the book 

I know you will love it.

"The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years old. Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon understand, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid's School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one.

Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigid's because I was, well, a little nitwit. Not satisfied with memorizing the Baltimore Catechism's fine prose, which featured passages like "God made me to show his goodness and to make me happy with him in heaven," I was constantly annoying my classmates and, of course, the no-nonsense Sister Lurana. With sixty overactive students in her class, she was understandably short on patience. For survival, she had also become quick on the draw.

Then it happened. One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: "William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity."

Yes- He needs to keep his opinions to himself.

No- He really is a bold, fresh piece of humanity.
