The man can be a blowhard, but he walks the walk...
Bet he makes a stop at the bazaar in Kabul for an Afghani loofah.

You’re right. He walks the walk... cares about the folks... that’s real.

I agree.
But he needs to stop giving the “secular progressives” so many points by their rewriting the dictionary.
He needs to call them
“secular regressives”
which is much more accurate—regressive all the way back to Soddom & Gomorrah.
And, I think he needs to clean up his act about FR and about the puppet masters unless that would cause his death or to be off the air.
We need someone like him perceived to be more or less fair to both sides by the masses.

Youre right. He walks the walk... cares about the folks... thats real. Cannot deny that. He deserves praise for this, regardless of his blowhard tendencies.

CAMP EGGERS, Afghanistan - Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines from the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan at Camp Eggers came out to meet with Fox News anchor Bill OReilly, Nov. 16.
The bestselling author, two time Emmy winning journalist and host on Fox News, The OReilly Factor spent more than two hours signing pictures, T-shirts, mugs, books, guitars and other personal articles.
It was good to see (Bill OReilly), said Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Wade. I watch his show all the time. My whole family watches, so it was pretty neat.
He does a lot of stuff to support the troops, Wade added. Im on his website all the time. He provides a place for military to talk back and forth on different policies.
OReilly is here in Afghanistan on a three-location, five-day tour to show his gratitude and support for the thousands of U.S. troops serving in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
I think its great how he supports the troops, said Marine Cpl. Gregory Edander. It takes your mind of stuff for a little bit, seeing a familiar face.
OReilly was impressed with both the coalition forces and Afghans, and expressed how well American service members are doing in Afghanistan.
We were in Iraq last year at this time and so the comparison, its much calmer here, he said. The Afghans are a little bit more friendly. The morale here is excellent as far as I can see.
You guys are doing a great job and thats why we came; just to say thank you to everybody in this theater. Because most Americans - Id say 90 percent - appreciate it very much, he said.

He's gotta run - his liberty boat is 450 miles away.

I occasionally have my "issues" with Mr. O'Reilly; however, they are not important when he visits and gives support to our troops.
O'Reilly, Good on ya'!

He walks the walk... cares about the folks... thats real. It's the guys in uniform that walk the walk. O'Reilly never served and spent a few hours in a place where the real heroes will spend months if not over a year.
