I consider O'Reilly an independent traditionalist.

He has no problem running people's lives "for their own good" so he has some liberal positions. He is anti progressive socialism and for traditional social mores so he cannot be a liberal.

The Winter Holiday season is the sacred season of CHRISTmas.

I guess this dufus has never heard of Hannukah? Out of curiosity, did Jesus celebrate Christmas? Or Hannukah?

Bill Maher - I think he's finally admitted he's a hard core lefty.

The "Libertarian" lie, came about because he's against drug laws. And because he didn't want his audience on ABC/Comedy Central to understand they were getting the some ol' standard issue liberalism.

Once he got to HBO, he's drop the pretense.

O'Reilly is a weather vane. He points which ever way the prevaling polular wind is blowing.

The Big O is nothing until he has wet his finger and raised it into the breeze.

I call O'Reilly an O"Reillian, meaning he is strictly for any cause that further promotes the O'Reilly fortunes!

SNL Gay Communist Gun Club skit

Bob: Hi, and welcome again to the "Gay Communist Gun Club", the organization dedicated to gayness.. John: ..Communism..

Bob: ..and guns. Let's get right to our first caller.

Caller #1: Uh.. I'm gay.. and I'm pretty liberal.. but I hate guns. Could I join the club?

Bob: No, I'm afraid not. You see, while we certainly support your gayness, without Communism..

John: ..and guns..

Bob: ..it's pretty meaningless. Next call, please.

Yep.

His complete lack of understanding on the how the price of oil/gas works was pathetic.

His calls for government regulation/intervention were certinaly NOT Libertarian (or libertarian).

The liberals obviously don't want O'Reilly in their gang. Any thinking conservative wants nothing to do with him. Now even the Libertarians (a group that has run both the lead singer of The Smithereens and an actual Smurf on their ticket) are distancing themselves!

Maybe he can join the hippies or the Buchananites, or both since they merged.

I categorize Bill O'Reilly as an Inconsitentarian, as he is all over the map with his views.

But, the Libertarians care a lot. They are very serious about who gets to wear their club label.

Libertarians were going to have a national convention for all their memberes .. but someone removed the phone booth and they didn't want to hold it out doors..

I believe O'Reilly is more of a populist.

Don't ever worry about libertarians. Just give them some pot and you wont see them for awhile.
