No one has ever been fired for being a Socialist, Progressive, Democrat, Gay, or even an employee of a former President... (that was a joke). Please educate yourself before you talk about things you clearly know nothing about. I apologize if I was incorrect, as it was I admit an unfair assumption, and an assumption. However I still believe that it's a fairpoint that FOX News is heavily biased against Liberal policies and viewpoints, given that it was created under the premise of being a Republican News station, and also that it is owned by Rupert Murdoch would help fuel that point. Either way, it's still heavily biased to Conservative viewpoints in its news, as A&E is biased toward Liberal viewpoints and mindsets in its shows, and is an example of a bias for the opposing 'side'. I am sorry if my statement was false, and I'll attempt not to fall into a pit like that again, but my point stands that it is biased toward Republican ideals. More assumptions on your part. Fox News was created on the fact... yes fact... that all news outlets are run by, and staffed by, Liberals. Rupert Murdoch owns News Corp., which is the parent company of Fox News. He does not run Fox News. Roger Ailes was the creator of Fox News, and is to this very day the brains behind the entire operation, including Fox Business Network. Fox News is the only network where Conservatives have a voice. The only place where they get a fair shake. That's why they are bigger, better, and watched by more people than all the rest combined. The only show that is all Republican, all the time, is Sean Hannity. He has dozens of Liberals that frequent his show every night to debate the issues. It's always a robust debate. Bill O'Reilly is always accused of being a Republican but is actually an Independent. People mistake him as a Republican because he is a devout Catholic, therefore has many Conservative views. There is The Five which is a show designed like The View but with brains. There are always 4 Conservatives and 1 Liberal. These are all opinion shows and cater to the overwhelming Conservative audience that watch Fox. There are Megyn Kelly and Greta Van Sustern. Both are hard news journalists and are both lawyers. Greta came from CNN years ago and works out of Washington DC. She was a Criminal Attorney before TV. Megyn is a true superstar and comes from a Corporate Law background. Out of New York she owns 9pm eastern. These women base their shows first and foremost on the law and it's effects on the political landscape, never from an ideology. Megyn Kelly is one of my favorite Fox people, along with Greg Gutfeld. If you want to bash Fox News for being biased, I will ask you, as opposed to what? Everyone else? There is no where else for a Conservative to go, and I am a proud card carrying member of the Republican Party. I said earlier on these pages that I know History and Politics, I didn't think I would be tested on both here. But if you ever wish to throw a Progressive bomb or use Saul Alinski tactics here, be prepared. I will call you out and spank you in front of the class. I don't make widgets for a living... Politics is what I do.

That's a Lie. You obviously don't watch Fox News. I do... and I have done so pretty much 24/7 since 2003. There has been 2 cases of Fox News firing show hosts for their public statements. Edie Hill, former host of "Fox and Friends" was fired during the 2008 Presidential campaign for remarks made about Barack and Michelle Obama fist bumping before a campaign speech. She called it "a terrorist fist bump" and was simarily fired. John Gibson host of "The Big Story" was fired in 2008 when Heath Ledger died. He called him a "weirdo with a serious drug problem" and people went nuts... Ledger was a loved and respected actor and the cause of death had not even been determined. No one has ever been fired for being a Socialist, Progressive, Democrat, Gay, or even an employee of a former President... (that was a joke). Please educate yourself before you talk about things you clearly know nothing about.

On the same page as you guys. Phil can say whatever he damn well pleases. They don't need angry groups demanding they fire anyone. If people don't like it... they will stop watching the show. This action just insures people will stop watching A&E. I mean really... how many gays do you think watch Duck Dynasty? A&E are losers.

I do believe your comment crossed the line. Which country are you from that owes their freedom to Americans with guns? Belgium, which I believe owes it mostly to Britain... that said, we have bee invaded by everyone and there grandmother, we get them out eventually. Not taking a thing away from my British cousins but you are wrong Sir. You may be able to drive your own Grandmother out, but it took the U.S. 101st Airborne and General George Patton's 3rd Army to dislodge your Evil Grandma the last time... and you've been free to kick the USA around ever since. Touche'.

What state are you from? I'm assuming Ohio? [inside joke] One of our ODN members is from Ohio and she swears up and down that she was taught in school that Christopher Columbus, Captain of the Mayflower, landed on Plymouth Rock and had Thanksgiving dinner with Indians. Oh. And that clouds are sponges. OMG! This is just nuts. The Teachers Unions are killing the brains of our nation by not ensuring that the teachers know their shit. I see schools going to hell all over and they blame the kids. This is what happens when education is treated as day care.

If you ever want to hear what lies sound like just turn on Jay Carney and watch the White House press conference. I'm an honest man, but if my wife or kids need me... call me Pinocchio.

Let's all be creative
Exposing Obamacare for the income redistribution scam that it is. Making sure our Military remain the best in the world and stay alive. Cutting off the Botox supply to Hillary and Pelosi. Rigging the teleprompter for the State of the Union speech to flash choice bits from "50 Shades of Grey". Hacking into Harry Reid's pacemaker. You know... all the creative stuff.

Military
I too have not posted here until now... to me this is sacred ground. I lost sight in one eye when I was 7 from a jerk swinging a 5 iron, and I have had problems from it all my life. I made it to Colonel in military school but they never would have let me near billion dollar equipment. I chose another path. You guys are my heroes and you have my full unconditional support.

I'm so shocked so many people don't know what fracking is. Just so you guys on the left don't get caught in an embarrassing situation... you are firmly against it. Anything that reduces the cost of energy... you guys want to destroy. Can't believe I'm coaching the liberals on how to be a liberal.

Correct... what is most disturbing about it is people in general don't have a clue, that they don't have a clue.

That's Magnificent! I could probably hear the ghosts yelling... "More archers on the towers!" You can always just shop the dude out but that would be too easy for you.

I so wish I could make it to Europe. I would spend all my time visiting every castle I can find. I'm a sucker for history. I recently read about my English cousins over there taking the time to dig up the remains of Richard III. Time to give him him his rightful place, even if he might have had his nephews killed. That was "The Real Game of Thrones".

That is a stunning snap of that skyline. They are building a Ferris Wheel here as well. It's called The High Roller and it will be a whopping 9 feet taller than the Singapore Flyer. I don't know if it will be operational by the time you get here in February... but I think the lights will be burning. I probably will never go on it. I hear they plan on charging like $30 to go on it and I just think that's insane.
