I bring it up because the mintue someone mentioned the "troops" (god I hate that word) without blind jingoism we get a standard responce. I just don't get it. Why not repond directly?
Honestly this is why, as much as people hate him I think Bill O'reillly is a decent pundit, he at least has open minded responces, even if he learns right.

May I ask which "conservative" talk radio shows you listened to that involved the hosts blindly towing the line of the republican party? Most of the conservative talk radio that I listen to (nationally syndicated, i.e. O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.) got to be such big names by treating all politics and politicians fairly, regardless of political affiliation. They have all publicly criticized the Presisdent in times of wrong, and also publicly praised members of political parties opposite their own as well. This is in complete contrast to AirHead America, a media group whose sole objective is to belittle any and all opposing views in as ignorant a way as possible. I personall don't care for Bill O'Reilly. I hear that he is not a nice man in person and we differ on some key issues. He was also exposed by Al Franken (of all people) to be a liar, not that he's the only liar in the world, but he was publicly exposed nonetheless.
