Thank you Billy
October 16, 2006Bill O’reilly on Fox News:
My biggest fear is that we become Holland.
Yeah, I know Billy. I would also prefer to live in a country with extreme high drug abuse and drug related crime figures, instead of a country which liberal laws have massively reduced these figures. I’d also prefer to live in a gun touting country where the murder rate is about 30 times as high as in The Netherlands. I’d also prefer to live a country where, if you cannot work or do not have as much opportunities as the rich white people, you are simply fcuked, instead of a country where we actually take care of the weak. I’d also prefer to live in a country with an apartheid regime, where homosexuals are treated as lesser persons with fewer rights, instead of a country where they are treated as equals. I’d also prefer to live in a country which lets terminally ill patients in complete pain suffer without any reason, instead of in a civilised country which carefully assess the situation of terminal patients, and then provides them with an opportunity to humanly and peacefully end their lives. I also prefer to live a in country which does not enable rape victims, for instance, to abort the rapists’ babies.
Your species, Billy, the neoconservatives, have destroyed America. America used to a country for which you had respect; a country that was liked. You, neocons, have turned America into a steaming pile of religious shit, the most hated country on the planet. And you dragged us all with it, you made the world a damn dangerous place to be.

I love how he refers to liberal people as ’secular progressives’. He basically admits that under the current administration, the United States is not secular–wait a minute. What was the big problem with all those Muslim countries again?
Exactly. They don’t have a separation between state and religion. And now, from the mouth of a neocon, we hear what America really is: a non-secular, Christian-extremist country. Of course sane people already knew that, but still, it’s good to hear it confirmed.
Thank you Billy.

Pretty much dead-on save for the “rich white people” & abortion part.
I assume you’re talking about Blacks?
The only thing holding blacks back from being anything other than a sports-star is their present-cultures aversion towards education. Those that didn’t grow up in such an environment are as capable as success as anyone. It’s a trait that they should consider riding themselves of.
You should check out Boondocks created by Aaron McGruder
Previously hated minorities that have embraced education –while poor and under- prevalaged– and are now prominent in society include: Jews, East-Asians(Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc.). Indians are also on the rise.
It’s worth noting that most of them accomplished this without resorting to brutally unfair methods like “affirmative action” or in English “reverse discrimination”. It has a certain … Communist .. undertone that I exist for anyone but myself and should willingly step aside.

Abortion is legal in the U.S. So you can abort a rapist’s baby.
As far as I know, Texas and Oregon have an assisted suicide law.
State’s rights aren’t completely dead.
Bill O’Reilly is a pompous windbag and is intellectually dishonest.
I think a good 30 per cent or so of the U.S. is just stupid.
They’ll just believe everything neocons say, and a big chunk of the rest of us think the whole system is unfixable.

Thom, some of your information is incorrect.
As stated above: abortion is legal in the United States, but there has been talk of making it illegal, but I doubt that abortion will be illegal outright for a very long time. The right to an abortion will simply be decided by the states. The more sane states will continue offering abortions whereas the neocon states will not.
Also, we do have programs for challenged individuals, such as welfare, granted it has been greatly reduced; there are still private charities which are as good - or in some cases better then publicly funded programs. We also have financial aid for colleges, both from public (both Federal and State levels) and private grants/scholarships. But also mentioned above in some parts of America there is a large stigma against getting a college education. My social problems professor has told stories in lectures about how former students hid their college careers form their parents because they knew it would make their parents angry. And that is the reason why so many people don’t have access to a good education, not because they don’t have the opportunity; there are plenty of inexpensive colleges/universities here, but because they don’t want to or can’t because of their family.
Now actually, there actually is a separation of church and state. Granted the government has well, made this a very gray line in recent years, but there is no government entity forcing one religious belief on the entire people nor is there a religious figure as the head of the state which is unlike most Islamic countries.
Finally, I agree with you 100% on the neocons, I cannot wait until 2008 when maybe, just maybe, we will have a president who a.) Has an iq of over 50 b.) Doesn’t have Cheney as a Vice-President and c.) Actually things of the people who he represents.

You post is long on assertions and short on evidence. The US is such a religious extremist country that 47% don’t even think religion is important in their lives and 60% don’t attend churches (http://www.religioustolerance.org/rel_rate.htm).
