  solero will find that his intended RAPE of OUR RIGHTS will not be tolerated by the liberals he thhinks, he thinks, are NOT TRUE Americans, and will allow him to turn us all into Argentina!

  If Republicans want the next Pres. election: 1) end the Fed 2)balanced budget amendment to the constitutiion 3) no foreign aid (why does Israel and Egypt get BILLIONS and Ireland gets nothing?)

  McNamara31, Your comment on today's GOP was short on specifics. In addition, you did not address any of the points I made. BTW, my comments were more of critique of EphraimKibbey's previous, largely incomprehensible, tirade.

• Viking13 | Jan 24, 2013, 11:56 AM EST

  EphraimKibbey, sorry about the multiple posts. Not intentional. I was in a union for 13 years and enjoyed every minute and I am a conservative republican like the majority of union members. Face it, there is no logical reason to support this kind of spending at any level. Look at California, all job creators are considering new locations which will eventually create just what liberal policies achieve, the elimination of the middle class. Social issues are important but creating such a huge entitlement and uneducated class will only result in greater problems. By the way, I believe a woman should have the right to her health but should have to pay for her own choices. That is not my responsibility and that is the point of most conservatives.

  Bill O'Reillyis promoting Bill b ill O'Reilly. The key to this whole article is every prediction he has made about Obama has been a zero.

• falconflash | Jan 24, 2013, 11:06 AM EST

  O'Reilly is one of the few looking out for the Christian middle class, keeping the Bolsheviks at bay, for now.

• AnPiobaire | Jan 24, 2013, 10:29 AM EST

  A "growing chorus"? Are you serious?? How much bigger could it get? That's all Fox eveer does is criticize everything Obama does, and his very existence. That makes this news all of a sudden, and why does it clutter a page supposedly dealing with "Irish" news?

• McNamara31 | Jan 24, 2013, 09:46 AM EST

  Bill O’Reilly While you were "Bloviating" Ruppert's talking points, you didn't notice the world has moved past you and your old world perspectives.

• McNamara31 | Jan 24, 2013, 09:41 AM EST

  EphraimKibbey As always, great post and completely true. michaelidaho Today's Republicans are in no way your father's Republican party. They have become a party of obstructionists, and by their actions are damaging the economy further, and the welfare of the American people.

  Ephraim, What in the world are you talking about? Republicans believe that a woman should not have the right to choose their own healthcare?! Republicans want to get rid of Social Security? Uh, actually Obama cut funding for Social Security by 30% in his first administration (i.e. 4.2% contribution instead of 6.2%). Here are a few questions for you: Are the Democrats doing anything to stop teacher union rights like automatic pay raises without any relation to performance? Are the Democrats doing anything to promote a more uniform and less fraudulent voting process? How is attempting to reform the deeply flawed Electoral College an evil Republican plot? You saved the best for last though. The Republicans are trying to reshape American society like it was before the Civil War?! Please provide more details, I need a good laugh before I nod off for the night.

  Viking13 - I know the slow response of this site can be annoying but 19 times! I nominate Viking13 in the most persistent poster catagory. Are there any challengers? Viking13 writes "Abraham Lincoln was a conservative republican" and that is true. Like a REAL conservative he tried his best to preserve the union. Are modern Republicans trying to preserve the right of a woman to choose her own healthcare? Are they trying to preserve Social Security as it is? Are they trying to preserve Union rights? Are they trying to preserve easy access to the ballot box? Are they trying to preserve how a state's votes are counted? Are they trying to preserve the ecosystem? No! They are trying to CHANGE our society back to the way it was BEFORE Lincoln held office. What do they not get about being conservative that Lincoln got? Oh yea, they ARE trying to keep the rich rich I almost forgot.

  I do not always agree with Bill O'Reilly but he does try to be fair and balanced. Fox News does have people on their shows with 0pposing views every day. If you truly watched the Fox Network you would know that they have several Liberals on most of their programs. Obama has done a terrible job at getting people back to work. If people are not working they are not paying taxes. Those who are working are asked to pay more than their fair share. Obama can make all the pretty speeches he wants to but I have heard it all and I don't want to hear any more. There is something wrong with my computer so some of this message may be missing.

• Smyrnian | Jan 23, 2013, 05:28 PM EST

  Social justice in this case means paying layabouts at the expense of taxpayers. Socialism has never worked anywhere.

• mowalsh | Jan 23, 2013, 05:05 PM EST

  Bill O'Reilly echos the sentiments of conservatives past. Like slaveholders and segregationists of old, like misogynists and homophobes of today, he insists that "fiscal" matters are way more important than social justice.

• Smyrnian | Jan 23, 2013, 05:04 PM EST

• seanomelb | Jan 23, 2013, 04:52 PM EST

  The fear and smear masters at Fox hate Obama with a passion. One only has to listen to the rethoric of its middle of the fascists such as Ingraham,Malkin,the liar Hannity,bully O'reilly and the three stooges on the Fox morning show,varney bollings and dipstic Crowley. Their collective hearts do not have a modicum of respect for the president and don't tell it's not because he's black.

• bunkerisland | Jan 23, 2013, 04:19 PM EST

  O'Reilly needs to shut up now and listen to the State of the Union to hear specifics. The Inauguration is not the setting for details but rather a time for the broad brush. If he does not like this broad brush put up some candidate who can communicate with the public, not the pouting and greedy Romney who has more interest in the $ than the country's welfare. Ya, I said "welfare"!

• michaelidaho | Jan 23, 2013, 04:16 PM EST

  EphraimKibbey, Wow, you really have drunk the Kool Aid. Sequester? Obama does not want that; the Republicans want it (except for defense). Important issues? Equal pay for women. Do women at your workplace make 70% of men? Do unions write in contracts that woman should be paid at 70%? Education. Do you think the government should give Pell Grants for everybody that wants to go to the University of Phoenix? The REAL important issues: the economy, deficit and fiscal sustainability of Medicare and Social Security. Obama did not address these and the policies he has implemented has actually decreased their viability (e.g. payroll tax deduction and Obamacare).

• Meanolgrouch | Jan 23, 2013, 03:47 PM EST

  If O'Reilly favors anything, it's bound to be horrendous. If he hates it, it's bound to be good. Historian? He's no more historian than the tea bag where he keeps his brain. Desperate for respect, yes; decent and/or intelligent, no.

• odubslaine | Jan 23, 2013, 02:17 PM EST

  EphraimKibbey: Well stated !

• EphraimKibbey | Jan 23, 2013, 01:21 PM EST

  FastEddy - Check the NUMBERS - yearly deficits (as opposed to the agrigate deficit) have steadily declined from a high under W. since Obama took office. With the sequester, had we gotten rid of ALL the Bush tax cuts, there would be no deficit looming for 2013. The GOP is great at making messes and not so great at cleaning up after themselves. Sorta like most spoiled brats. Most (5 million more than those who were still in la la land) of the American people got this leading up to the last election. Everyday more and more of them catch on to the GOP lies. Soon it won't matter that the GOP gerrymandered all those districts in 2010 because there will be so few republicans left to vote for republican extremist candidates. The country LIKES the 21st century and do not wish to be taken back to the bad old times of the 19th century. I thought the President's speech addressed all of the important issues we face and suggested reasonable solutions based on the principles that have always made America a lamp lighting the darkness around the world. I thought millionaire O'Riley PROMISED to quit if his taxes went up. He should put up or shut up!

• michaelidaho | Jan 23, 2013, 12:47 PM EST

  O’Reilly is spot on criticizing Obama for not addressing the continued economic stagnation and mammoth deficits that have persisted under the Obama administration. The people who love this guy have almost developed a cult-like devotion to him that defies rationalism. I am proud to say that I did not watch one second of any inaugural activity on television. However, I did read his inaugural address. Once again, I was not impressed, inspired or surprised. Why? Because he persists in babbling on about clean energy and college degrees for everybody, while the economy sputters along stimulated only by deficit spending that future generations will have to pay. Furthermore, his arrogant and condescending attitude that somehow he and the Democrats have a monopoly on empathy for immigrants, the elderly, and the disabled is nauseating. Finally, his attempts to portray himself as a kind of new MLK for women and gays are pathetic.

  "... It’s the Labour Government that have brought us record peace-time taxation.

And that's what this president has, the usual socialist disease couched in demo-fascist terms. Oh, Bummer.

• CitizenWhy | Jan 23, 2013, 12:18 PM EST

  Meanwhile the Pope gives a papal knighthood to Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, while Fox News is screeching that Obama is a tyrant. Accusing Obama of being a tyrant is a way to legitimize and advocate his assassination. They know very well that Lincoln's assassin mouthed the slogan of Virginia as he shot the President: "Sic semper tyranis" ("This is what we always do to tyrants.").

  O'Reilly is such a buffoon and charlatan. He alludes to Washington's inaugural address in an attempt to appear erudite. He can't even pronounce the word "propitious" (propituous?)and speaks of "imposing" social justice, as if the notion were contrary to the principles upon which our nation is founded.

  unless there is a radical change within the republican party, it will go under faster than the Titanic Gerrymandering only gets you so far. The german lunatics have taken over the republican asylum. Fat boy Limbag insults OReilly and Bill lacked the cajones to insult that felon back.

  Bill O'Reilly had always had sour grapes for President Obama. It doesn't surprise me that he wouldn't be impressed. He's not a liberal and even though the speech was directed toward liberals, Obama is NOT a liberal either. He's actually a moderate republican! He's proven that his last four years in office and O'Reilly should know that by now. I would think that the fact Obama gave this type of speech would have caught Bill's attention. Obviously, it didn't. It was a very good speech covering many civil rights areas comparing them from Lincoln to the present. I would have thought as an "historian" Bill O'Reilly would have liked it. I guess not.

• SeamusMartin | Jan 23, 2013, 11:04 AM EST

  Faux Noise Network is not part of the GOP (Grand Old Party), but actually now-a-days GOP stands for (Guns Over People). Faux Noise makes a mockery of the formerly well respected Republican Party and turned it into a right wing extremist fascist Klan. I had friends in the states who thought they were Republicans, though right of center, well they have been going to Republican headquarters for election night results. Nary a minority to be found. Mostly white older people or younger white people who have an idea that the social makeup of America is still in the 1950s, yet nothing like the positions espoused by Eisenhower, Nixon, Goldwater, Ford or even Regan... very sad. "Ill" O'Reilly and the other blithering ijiots on that Network are mere wooden head puppets. Have you ever actually heard any complimentary thing said by Faux and its minions regarding the center and going left? No, never... maybe a back-handed compliment and a venomous backhand at that.
