Randall J. Strossen's book Super Squats – read it and gain.

That is very convincing.

FOX keeps O'Reilly on because he gets good ratings; same reason MSNBC keeps the even more vitriolic Keith Olbermann.  Limbaugh has very little in common with either of them – the sort of nightly invective that assclowns O'Reilly and Olbermann spew is vanishingly rare on Mr. Limbaugh's program.

Also, I chose not to use the term "liberal" because it has lost its original meaning in the U.S. and doesn't work well in trans-Atlantic discussions.  By the standards of the term as you mean it, the Republicans are the more "liberal" party.

For example, the Republican Party repealed slavery, supported women's suffrage for 40 years against Democrat obstruction, resisted FDR's attempts to make himself dictator, voted for the various civil rights acts of the 50s and 60s in greater percentages than Democrats and fought communism unreservedly.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a registered Republican.  Democrat Harry Truman called MLK a "damn troublemaker" and Democrats John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson ordered the FBI to spy on him.

Europeans and Britons tend to believe that the Republican Party is the equivalent of their Christian Democrats or Tories, because that's what their socialist-controlled media tells them.  That is not the case.

#1 – In the U.S., it's lefties who pass speech codes and try to silence righties.  Happens on college campuses every day.  For the last twenty years or so (since lefties decided that 'being offended' was a human rights violation) conservatives have been the only reliable defenders of all of the first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution, our "Bill of Rights".

#2 – Bill O'Reilly is neither a conservative nor even closely associated with the Republic Party.  He's just one guy who happens to be a loudmouth with a TV show.  If you think that's American conservatism, you're mistaken.  O'Reilly belongs on the right (not the same as being a 'conservative') only in the sense that he is a patriot, otherwise he's a preening egomaniac of no strong political principles.

Anyhow, as we seem to be entering the realm of ad hominem attacks against whole groups, let me observe that Lingster exhibited the typical right-wing tendency of supporting efforts to silence critics:

rather than addressing the core problem.  Why spend money helping the schmucks who enlisted when you can spend it discrediting your critics to prevent public discourse? ::)

I'm the forum administrator.  If I wanted to silence critics here, I could actually silence them here.

Reminds me of Reagan praising Springsteen as an American Hero because of Born in the USA when, in fact, the lyrics spoke of Springsteen's shame at how his country had treated Vietnam war veterans, something that I fully expect to be repeated once the Iraq war finally limps to its end.

Here's an example of the Left trying to have it both ways again.  Their Vietnam strategy was to undermine the war while labeling soldiers baby-killers, torturers, etc, and then they blamed Republicans and "the country" afterward because the vets were having a hard time.  Luckily this time we're on to it in advance, and it's not working.

They do it because, believe it or not, the Right seems to have no clue that he is a satirist.

The delegate from Guam is a Democrat.

Fascinating article. I notice that Roid Rage is never mentioned. Would be very interesting if a long time, and famous Roider, who just happens to be the governor of my home state of California, would do a detailed account of his experience with the juice.

Admit imperfection?  I don't think he's capable of that.

Heh.  I predict I will have to lock this topic within two days.
