Though it pains me to do so, I have to defend Bill O’Reilly’s position during his tete-a-tete with Ellis Henican on Tuesday’s O’Reilly Report. While discussing illegal immigration, O’Reilly made reference to a poll that indicated 75 percent of Americans favor sending the National Guard to defend America’s southern border. This prompted Henican to ask the question, “Does that make it right?” How about this, Henican, you pompous, self-important bleeding heart: HELL YES, THAT MAKES IT RIGHT!! When are you and your ilk, along with all the “fine” politicians running the show going to understand that this country’s policies are supposed to be dictated by THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE?
I grow so tired of the loud-mouthed pundits and sanctimonious politicians ignoring the constituency so that they can promote their personal agendas that allow them to feel good about themselves even as they sell out the very people they’re supposed to represent. It’s about time our government stops doing “what is right” since “what is right” is a grey area as wide as Dennis Hastert’s ass.
The last time Congress tried to do “what is right,” the 535 pious ones were barging into the Terri Schiavo case, trying to override numerous court rulings so they could force a feeding tube down Schiavo’s throat and champion themselves as moral crusaders. Never mind that 70 percent of Americans wanted them to butt out. It’s high time that our elected officials start doing their jobs, and it’s high time that the people wise up and start voting these jerks out of office.
