| 23ba9fd | President Franklin Roosevelt issues a special exhortation. He encourages citizens not just to give thanks but to read their own version of Scripture every day between now and Christmas to ensure "a renewed and strengthening contact with those eternal truths and majestic principles which have inspired such measure" | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| b5d6702 | Estimates of the number of people killed by Stalin range from as low as twenty million to as high as sixty-two million "unnatural deaths" during Stalin's time as Soviet leader. The man who is credited with saying that "death solves all problems" and "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic" murdered his own citizens through executions, artificial famines, forced-labor camps, incarceration, and torture." | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| d2d97ea | It's almost comical that a man plotting a murder takes the bus to and from target practice, | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 6dc1369 | The 1930s taught us a clear lesson: Aggressive conduct, if allowed to grow unchecked and unchallenged, ultimately leads to war. This nation is opposed to war. We are also true to our word. Our unswerving objective, therefore, must be to prevent the use of these missiles against this or any other country and to secure their withdrawal or elimination from the Western Hemisphere. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 3dc0d30 | If every man would wait till his wife got willing for him to go to war, there would be no fighting done till we all got killed in our own house. | David Fisher | ||

| 1406ad5 | Davy Crockett did not go to Texas to die at the Alamo but rather to live in a country he described in a letter to his children as "the garden spot of the world. The best land and the best prospects for health I ever saw, and I do believe it is a fortune to any man to come here." | David Fisher | ||
| 7093fdb | From their lofty summits overlooking Boston Harbor and the city itself, the colonists can fire cannonballs--which is why the British have spent the last three weeks secretly plotting an invasion of the Charlestown Peninsula, to capture those heights. But just two days ago, on June 13, the rebels got word of the British plans. Working day and night, they have been preparing redoubts from which to fend off the redcoats. Six feet high, made of.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 301ec93 | Here's something that really surprises me: The more stuff I have, the more stuff I want. And so I looked around and saw that everyone else was the same way. It was not until I had a few things that I noticed how this works. The material stuff is addicting! Remembering my parents, I try to fight against the "stuff addiction." I refuse to buy jewelry or trinkets. I don't need expensive toys like Jet Skis or snowblowers. I keep the material th.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 757b709 | In short, this country has developed a ridiculous blind spot: the power and glorification of money. This is truly an affliction. It is holding us back as a nation, as a community. The true heroes of America are not the new Internet billionaires or the overpaid sports stars and movie actors or the wise guys who jack up their companies' stocks. The true heroes of America are the men, women, and teenagers who go to work for a modest wage, fulf.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| cf5daa8 | The general public had no love for either the banks or the railroads, which were controlled by fat cats in the North and the East who cared not at all for the troubles of the poor workingman. All Jesse James was doing was fighting back for all the people who had no fight left in them. He became the nation's most revered outlaw. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| e40d6a0 | But the question remains: How accurate--if at all--was Edwards's portrayal? Was there, in reality, any political motivation behind James's life of crime, or was he simply a bad guy who served a symbolic purpose? Was he a hero of the downtrodden South, or was he the same person once described by Robert Pinkerton as "the worst man, without any exception, in America. He is utterly devoid of fear and has no more compunction about cold blooded m.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| c631885 | I'm that same David Crockett, fresh from the backwoods, half horse, half alligator, a little touched with the snapping turtle; can wade the Mississippi, leap the Ohio, ride upon a streak of lightning and slip without a scratch down a honey locust; can whip my weight in wildcats and, if any gentleman pleases, for a ten dollar bill he may throw in a panther ... | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| a7ac85b | Hard work and discipline lead to economic success. Government handouts and unsupervised policies of pity only rob people of incentive. If tax money continues to be wasted, it becomes morally wrong for our government to confiscate huge percentages of income and property from Americans, even if they are wealthy. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| 4aae55e | You only have to travel to Europe to see the difference that an entitlement culture makes. While the United States is a vibrant, creative, and exciting place, Europe today is largely stagnant. Workers there have little incentive to move ahead, because the rate of taxation is punishing and the governments guarantee a certain standard of living. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| bc93d2f | KRAUTHAMMER: Well, remember they're not the same as us because it was the more independent ones, the ones who didn't like the strictures of government, the regulations, the religious oppression, who came here. This spirit of being independent and not wanting to be controlled by the government is something that is intrinsic in America, it's the essence of America, it's what distinguishes Americans who are essentially refugees of the old soci.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| 94f97fa | If you live your life subject to the rules of Judeo-Christian tradition (or Buddhist, Islamic, or another religious tradition), then you will do more good than harm on this earth. You will love your neighbor and help other people out. You will not do things that hurt others or yourself. So, if everyone was religious wouldn't the world be a much better place in which to live? Of course it would. And if there is no God at the end of it all, w.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| be9e0d5 | No one embodied the spirit of the frontier more than Daniel Boone, who faced and defeated countless natural and man-made dangers to literally hand cut the trail west through the wilderness. He marched with then colonel George Washington in the French and Indian War, established one of the most important trading posts in the West, served three terms in the Virginia Assembly, and fought in the Revolution. His exploits made him world famous; h.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| 3c3fa15 | Although cable news has, I believe, done much damage in undercutting civility in political discourse--a civility to which more journalists and newscasters aspired in the pre-cable era--it is insufficient to simply single out blowhards like Bill O'Reilly, or Fox News overlord Roger Ailes, or on the left, Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, formerly of MSNBC. The problem is partly that there's money in staging the televisual equivalent of coc.. | Heather Hendershot | ||

| 1e3b526 | Cole Younger led eight men into Russellville, Kentucky, on May 20, 1868, and rode out with exactly $9,035.92. As the gang made its escape, shooting into the air to discourage gawkers, one member shot at the metal fish weather vane atop the courthouse, sending it spinning. Almost a century later, that historic weather vane, with a bullet hole through it, could still be seen on the roof of the new courthouse, where it had been placed to honor.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 576c875 | Early American history has been told--and often exaggerated--by the pen and the paintbrush. Daniel Boone's fame as a bear hunter is depicted by Severino Baraldi (above), while this portrait of the lone woodsman was painted by Robert Lindneux. Boone blazing the trail west in George Caleb Bingham's 1851-52 oil painting, Daniel Boone Escorting Settlers through the Cumberland Gap Boone was not a man who relished a fight, but he never backed awa.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 3b543c2 | With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations, | Bill O'Reilly | ||
