o'reilly is an aggravating, rude son of a bitch, with one of the bigger cable tv audiences because, at least in part, he speaks bluntly and doesn't sound like the average tv twit, or at least average before fox talk-news-bullshit hit the market... but...

if he claimed this was a christian nation, that hardly makes him the anti-christ or a satanic anti-semite, but simply a person who understands at least a little bit about where he lives...

what the hell are we, majority agnostics? atheists? secular liberals? polls are constantly cited - here! - showing that american majorities believe in god ( one said that 47% of kerry voters not only believed, but doubted evolution - booga booga!), go to church, pray, talk to angels, and also, to some here, are slimeball morons and pigs because they do so...and yet, this comment is an indication that o'reilly is an ass?

face it, kids, with or without ridiculous polls, most americans are, or would call themselves, christians...the god squad, whether its jewish, muslim, or whatever else, needs to wake up and smell the superstitious majority...many believe in scriptural legend and mythology, and many who call themselves agnostic and secular and even atheist secretly, if not openly, carry out religious policy nonsense( how did the "holy land" become so? secular, study group discussion? agnostic democratic referendum?) while smugly looking down on other, more open believers...but the facts are the facts...

doesn't make me happy, but neither does much else about where i live...still, no reason to create fabrications about reality, to make some people feel better, or superior...for once, that schmuck was right...
