O'REILLY: What happened to transparency, Mr. President?
It hasn't been a great week for the Obama folks, as the scandal du jour tour has firmly taken hold. Every day it seems another federal agency is exposed as having intimidated, snooped, covered up or gone to Vegas on the taxpayer dime. Zimbabwe is even making fun of us
O'REILLY: The war on terror: up close and personal
Living in the shadows of the ongoing war on terror are 1,715 American military people who lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan. A few of those brave folks lost all four limbs when bombs blew apart their bodies. In addition, there are now at least 20 new amputee victims because
O'REILLY: Drones are not terrorism
Shortly after the terror bombings in Boston last week, two different media people made statements that were alarming to say the least. Two days after the attack, McClatchy reporter Amina Ismail asked White House spokesman Jay Carney: "President Obama said that what happened in Boston was an act of terrorism
O'REILLY: Zombies vs. Jesus
On Easter Sunday evening, a TV show about good and evil aired on the History Channel -- the final installment of "The Bible" miniseries in which Jesus is executed. AMC ran the season-ending episode of "The Walking Dead" -- the series where zombies try to eat the brains of
O'REILLY: Isn't that the Spring Bunny?
Because this is the holiest week of the year on the Judeo-Christian calendar, it might be useful to look at how theology is faring in the age of secularism.. As you may know, there is a movement in America to remove the word "God" from the currency, to replace
O'REILLY: Progressive's tax-and-steal program
So my vacation plans to Cyprus have been canceled. Something about the government there seizing everybody's wallet because the country is bankrupt. Another nanny state bites the dust. When will they ever learn?. Never.
O'REILLY: How the feds are conning you
This week President Barack Obama told ABC News that the current national debt, which is approaching $17 trillion, is "sustainable," and he does not feel the need to try to balance the budget.. Where is Herbert Hoover when we need an economic genius?. Just about every honest economist knows
O'REILLY: Oh, My God
With the shorthand "OMG" (oh, my God) becoming a huge cliche, it might be worth taking a look at how Americans are seeing the Almighty these days -- that is if they are looking at all.. A recent Gallup poll indicates that just 31 percent of Americans worship publicly on
O'REILLY: Obama’s big school con
Please listen up. We are all being conned by the Obama administration.
O'REILLY: Born on the Bayou
KRAEMER, La. -- Roland Torres wants you to know a few things. He lives in a rural area where life is pretty straightforward. His family has been active on the bayou for five generations, witnessing a daily battle of survival of the fittest. The birds, animals and reptiles who inhabit
O'REILLY: What the babies would say
It is one of life's great mysteries that so many liberal people are so callous when it comes to aborting fetuses.
O'REILLY: 'Just say yes' to whatever
If you have kids, you most likely prayed hard that they would avoid drugs and alcohol. Once a child becomes intoxicated, childhood is over. The young person will never be the same again. Thus, a sane society discourages substance abuse if only to protect children.
O'REILLY: Semper Fi, unless it's not convenient
Jon Hammar saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, but his most brutal foreign experience was in Mexico. Last August, the 27-year-old former Marine corporal was incarcerated by Mexican authorities in Matamoros for trying to register an antique shotgun with customs agents. Foolishly, Cpl. Hammar followed instructions given to
O'REILLY: Could 'No Christmas' crowd just relax a bit?
Anyone offended by public displays of Christmas needs to see a psychiatrist. Are we clear on this? You are a loon if the sight of baby Jesus arouses anger or sadness in you. Get help.. This brings us to the governor of Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee. He recently told me
O'REILLY: Technology warps teen dynamic
Back in the 1950s, "Little Joe Cartwright" starred in a movie called "I Was a Teenage Werewolf."
O'REILLY: Are we Puritans?
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, it is time to talk about Puritans -- but not the crew who fled England for the New World and established the Massachusetts Bay Colony back in the 17th century.
O'REILLY: Missed opportunities
Romney has failed to pin down the president on his obvious policy shortcomings.
O'REILLY: The next debate won't say much new
The next debate won't say much new. President Obama is in trouble. Poll after poll shows Mitt Romney gaining ground almost everywhere, and Gallup even has the governor ahead by two points nationally. Also, reports say there is a low-level panic going on inside the Obama re-election headquarters
O'REILLY: Where were you in '62
Where were you in '62?. Fifty years ago, in the summer of 1962, America was a far different place from what it is today. President John Kennedy was presiding over Camelot, and despite fouling up the invasion of Cuba, his approval rating hovered at around 80 percent. Unemployment was 5.2
O'REILLY: Running on empty
Fresh off of my jaunt down memory lane with The Beach Boys, I decided to revisit another iconic group: Crosby, Stills and Nash.
O'REILLY: The Boredom Factor
President Obama's press conference at the G-20 summit in Mexico was the most boring political exposition I have ever seen. Not only did the president ramble on about nothing; he did it in a halting manner that was excruciating to witness.
O'REILLY: Iceland is model for Obama's US
President Obama would like Iceland. Geo-thermal energy, free health care and high taxes dominate the landscape.
O'REILLY: The fear vote
If the election were held tomorrow, Mitt Romney would be the next president of the United States. Why? Because many voters are afraid, that's why. And fearful people usually try to change their circumstances.
O'REILLY: Justice for Justin
In this corner, weighing 110 pounds and standing 5-feet 7-inches tall, 18-year-old pop star Justin Bieber. In the other corner, some guy who was aggressively taking his picture in a California shopping mall.
O'REILLY: Are teenagers really Americans?
As a former high school teacher, I know one of the great challenges in education is to get teenagers interested in their country.
O'REILLY: Still making waves after all these years
Quick question: What is the most enduring American pop group of all time? Has to be The Beach Boys, right? They are currently on their 50th anniversary tour across the country, if you can believe it.. I saw the boys the other night
O'REILLY: The Book of Santorum
Mitt Romney would be wise to take a good hard look at what Rick Santorum did right and what he did wrong during his campaign. In his quest to unseat President Obama, Romney will face some of the same challenges Santorum faced.. Back in the summer of 2011, nobody thought
Bill O'Reilly: Please pass the shrimp
The Obama administration is the biggest spending outfit in the history of the country.
O'REILLY: Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out to the ballgame. The urchins were startled. "Hey, let's go outside and play some baseball," I said.. Outside? Are you kidding me? Inside, the two 8-year-old boys have an Xbox, iPads and personal computers at the ready. Outside?. So I dragged them down to
O'REILLY: The media endorse Barack Obama
A Pew survey taken in January found that 67 percent of Americans believe there is bias in news coverage. They are right, and it is toward the left.
O'REILLY: Decent citizen behavior
Sandra Fluke's announced sense of entitlement is every taxpayer's concern.
Bill O'Reilly: Reagan vs. Obama
The presidential election 32 years ago is strikingly similar to the one we have today: a Democratic incumbent in big trouble with the economy and Iran. Sound familiar?
Bill O'Reilly: The devil and Rick Santorum
All Santorum is really doing is what Billy Joel once sang about: keeping the faith.
O'REILLY: How the media should cover Whitney's death
The media have no bleepin' clue how to cover the death of Whitney Houston. That's because she was slowly dying for years and many in the press simply averted their eyes.It was ultra-disturbing that a beautiful woman blessed with an extraordinary singing voice chose a self-destructive path in
O'REILLY: Newt, the media and momentum
Newt, the media and momentum. Let's go back to the recent presidential debate in South Carolina. There stood Gingrich, gripping his podium, staring at King, the CNN debate moderator. The former Speaker of the House had to be delighted. King was doing just what Gingrich and his advisers thought he
BILL O'REILLY: What TV shows do Democrats and Republicans watch?
Talk about an excruciating experience. The media research company Experian Simmons spent an entire year surveying diehard Republicans and Democrats regarding what they watch on TV, and the results are now in.
O'REILLY: The tax man cometh, and he wasteth my payout
The tax man cometh, and he wasteth my payout. Thirty-five years ago, I was broke, having just graduated from Boston University with a master's degree in broadcast journalism. I was lucky enough to get hired as a reporter in Scranton, Pa., at $150 a week. One problem: I couldn't
Bill O'Reilly: 2011 memo to the Occupiers
The Occupiers have no clue what they are really protesting.
OREILLY: Selling John Lennon's body parts a new low
New low for cult of celebrity: Selling body parts.
O'REILLY: This is America in decline
Take a good look around: This is America in decline. Very sobering. So what's going on?. If you study history, you know that America was built on self-reliance and personal achievement. In the early years of the Republic, the federal and state governments pretty much stayed out of the
BILL O'REILLY: Are we the Wall Street protesters?
Simply put, the Occupy Wall Street protesters want our stuff.
O'REILLY: Not impressed with technology-addicted youngsters
Recently, I had occasion to travel to New Hampshire with seven children ranging in age from 3 to 16. Don't even ask how this happened. It was kind of like an earthquake: Things began to rumble, and soon there was destruction everywhere.. The primary purpose of the trip was to
O'REILLY: Who's your sugar daddy, America?
For millions of folks, the federal government is now their sugar daddy.
O'REILLY: Feeling poor? Your tax burden's as much to blame as the economy
Some pundits place the blame on unemployment, which is currently just over 9 percent. But that's not what is driving debt. Taxation is.. The mean salary in America is just about $50,000. But if you live in Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco or New York, earning 50K means you're poor
O'REILLY: Law will protect the kids
The moment Casey Anthony walks out of jail in Florida, America will be a poorer place. This woman's negligence and apathy toward her precious 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, eliminate her as a responsible citizen. She's simply another barbarian who couldn't even be bothered to protect her baby.
O'REILLY: Fariness for Shirley
This time last week, few Americans had ever heard of Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod.
O'REILLY: President Obama and the 'S' Word
Rush Limbaugh recently mocked me because I do not call President Obama a socialist. Although I asked Obama to explain his ''socialistic tenets'' in my last interview with him, I have not branded him with the ''S'' word, because the label does not exactly apply to his governance thus far.
