Choice On Earth

By Monty Rainey
December 04, 2002

For the past couple of days, you may have heard Bill O’Reilly on Fox News ranting about Planned Parenthood’s selection of Holiday Cards with their "Choice on Earth" card they are sending out this year. Though politically, I usually agree with Bill O’Reilly, I’m not really what you would call a fan. Personally, I find the man to be somewhat of a pompous ass, which is always distasteful, no matter what the political affiliation. But I have grown to expect more from Mr. O’Reilly than this.

Come on, Bill. What could you have possibly expected to come from such an apostate organization? Personally, I am amazed that they even acknowledge the celebration of the birth of Christ. As one of the leading professionals in your field, you really need to pick your battles a little better. Surely there must be much more pressing issues than what Christmas card is being sent out by the liberals.

Perhaps your time would be better focused on such things as the 1,000,000 illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. this year. Or the erosion of Second Amendment rights in local municipalities across the nation. If you need help finding worthy news material, just let me know. I’ll be glad to help.

Fox News has been a Godsend to the American people, so far. I’m hoping Rupert Murdoch has enough sense to keep it from pandering to the sensationalism that some people call news. However, a quick glance at their website this morning makes me less than optimistic. I really don’t care if Michael Jackson got bit by a spider. I just hope the spider is okay. And it is not important to me how many things Whitney Houston is addicted to. What I would like to know is why the Bush administration is distancing itself from Tom Tancredo (R-CO), who is the only real Washington champion of tougher immigration laws and tighter border security.

If I want sensationalism, I know where to find CNN and the network news. But back to Bill O’Reilly. Bill, the American public expects more from you. Of course the card in question is appalling to pro-lifers, but all you are accomplishing is giving them the press time they wanted in the first place! By informing the uninformed about this card, what have you accomplished? Have you changed the way anyone thinks? Will Americans now hold Planned Parenthood in a different light? Of course not!

Just look around, Bill. The left is doing all kinds of things to destroy America. Things of tremendous proportion. What you are talking about here is a minimal assault to the value systems most Americans hold dear. I guess what I am trying to say is, if we focus on the big stuff, the small stuff will take care of itself.

Let’s get back to the real news and quit worrying so much about what a group of misguided leftists are doing. The elections last month should have sent a clear signal that most of America is not paying much attention to them anyway
