Bill O’Reilly Talks About Federal Government And ‘Racism’ Charges Against Him

Bill O’Reilly was furious Monday evening as he kicked off The O’Reilly Factor and talked about the “lie” of the 2016 presidential campaign.

“Apparently, millions of American voters think the federal government should be required to provide many things for the folks,” O’Reilly said, adding that education, healthcare, good jobs, and financial security are some of those things.

Bill said that these beliefs of entitlement run counter to how America was established in the late 18th century when our first elected officials put their game plan into effect.

“Our founders’ vision was a limited one. Citizens would have basic freedoms to worship, vote, speak freely, and pursue happiness within the framework of the law,” Mr. O’Reilly added.

Bill pointed out that it was entirely up to the people how they would use those freedoms. He strongly indicated that nobody was forced to do things against their will. Then, O’Reilly said what a lot of others, especially on the right, have been stressing heavily the past 20 years or so.

“Today, the question of individual choice has almost been obliterated by politicians and judges who don’t respect the concept of competition and the struggle to prosper. In short, politicians are evolving away from how this country was established.”

Bill O’Reilly went into how politicians deceive because it is a simple way to win over and sucker people who are unhappy with the situations in their lives. He said that even though Bernie Sanders is correct in saying we have to stop fraud in the marketplace, his message of wall-to-wall capitalist destruction is deceiving and dangerous. Then, Mr. O’Reilly said something that’s bound to cause more controversy than his usual statements.

“When people like Al Sharpton say a racist system is oppressing black Americans, he is giving an excuse for a litany of bad behaviors. A kid struggling in a bad school with uncaring parents needs encouragement and leadership, not a list of historical atrocities.”

After listing things the Federal Government truly owes us, O’Reilly emotionally told his audience that it is the duty of those in power to promote a system that allows everybody a fair chance at material and emotional success. However, he believes that social engineering and freebies should not be promoted by those in power. Mr. O’Reilly became more angry and then went into a speech about what got him accused of racism last week.

“When I asked Trump about all of this [lack of education and responsibility in some African-American communities], he replied that job growth would take care of it…The race hustlers immediately accused me of racism,” O’Reilly angrily pointed out.

One of the sites that accused O’Reilly of racism was Gawker, who referred to him as a “racist motherf***er.”

“Bill O’Reilly is not the worst person on Fox News—except for when he definitely is, as in last night’s wild and racist discussion with Donald Trump about black people.”

Then, there were many on Twitter who condemned the Fox News host.

Bill O’Reilly has been called a racist before, and it’s likely he will be called a racist again. O’Reilly isn’t afraid to push buttons, but some wonder if he has been pushing the wrong buttons lately. Then again, The O’Reilly Factor is still the highest-rated news show on cable television.
