Summary: O'Reilly Really Loves O'Reilly
Review: When I finished this book I realized that there was no way I could love O'Reilly as much as O'Reilly loves O'Reilly. You cannot accept everything he writes as fact. Some good points, however.

Summary: Topic list
Review: Consider this in addition to what Bill expounds in his books:1)If 3% of the population in the U.S. controls 97% of the total wealth,then 2-250 million Americans will never achieve the american DREAM over their working lives.Consider that the U.S.poverty rate is $17k per year but the average retail or hospitality worker earns perhaps $15-20k per year.. With wages like this, how can anyone prosper or support a family? 2) There is no minimum accepted standard of living in America..it doesn't matter if you have to work 100 hours per week or live in the most plagued part of the city or have your children attend the worst schools-- just do what is necessary! 3) How many of our leaders in business, politics and religion propose to be devoted to the Bible yet benefit from interest revenue-generating entities, of which interest, or preying on another's misfortune, is not permitted? 4) There is a silent discrimination against single workers without children in America. When parents rightfully exercise their maternity,paternity and family medical leave benefits plus a multitude of other dotted line benefits, who do you think picks up the slack in the workplace but single workers! 5) Women have gained great independence but there is no support with that strength. How many women pay for dates? How many women help support men much as men supported them financially in the past? Were women really that unhappy 50-60 years ago? Were men?? And there is truism that society does not want to face-- men ALWAYS pay for sex in some form. 6) Does the U.S. government really want literacy when you consider that the French Revolution started with a highly literate peasantry whose stomachs were half-full? 7) How much of our domestic and foreign policy genuinely reflect the will of the people? Do our leaders view citizens as sheep to be herded and manipulated? Do the american people tacitly approve of our policies? Do we as americans really care?

Summary: Is this book an autobiography?
Review: Is this book an autobiography? (For you Fox News viewers: Autobiography means that the author wrote a biography about his own life. It does not mean it's a biography about a cars life.)
Reading the title you might be mislead to think he's talking about himself. Check out Al Franken's book "LIES (and the lying liars who tell them.)

Summary: He's not that bad for a conservative
Review: I like Bill O'Reilly though I consider myself a staunch liberal. He is always using truth and is not blinded by partisan idiotics like Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh. I tink he could tone down the Clinton bashing though. Sure Clinton didn't take many risks or push things forward while president, but hey, while he was in office the economy was great, we weren't locked in a bloodbath war without any help, and we weren't under constant fear. The same cannot be said about our current president.

Summary: O'Reilly At His Best
Review: I love this guy, and he puts advice and experiences into words the average reader can agree with. I rarely disagree with this guy, and this book was just an example of his talent whether it be writing, or being the host of a show...he is a good writer, with a fantastic sense of humor that really drives his points home.

Summary: O'Reilly Rules
Review: Just like his other books, this one is classic O'Reilly. Whether he makes you mad or you agree with everything he says, O'Reilly has many valid points about America and it's RULERS. Great Stuff, as usual.

Summary: This is great
Review: Personally I like Mr. O'Reilly because he does not care if you are the prince of England, because once you enter that No-Spin-Zone, it is all over for you. Mr. O'Reilly hits America with a dose of reality and most of what he has to say in this book is straight forward, and it is not sugar coated like most anchor's out there are.
Mr. O'Reilly brings the facts, and what should be done in order to save this society we call America.
Good work, Mr. O'Reilly.

Summary: Not Impressed
Review: I checked this book out at the library out of curiosity because I had seen O'reilly on tv and always wondered how such a rude person could represent a news station. I wasn't impressed any further after reading this book. This book is just more of his close-minded ideas. On tv he cuts people off when they are presenting the facts, this is not accurate news. I go to the news for facts, and I look at peoples records of what they have done. I don't recommend this book unless you are just curious what makes this guy tick.

Summary: Absolute Garbage
Review: For someone who didn't know who O'Reilly was before I started reading this book, I was fairly objective going into it, especially for being a very conservative Republican. However I find most of his theories and ideas about our society ridiculous and very unfounded.

Summary: Witty,acidic,wry!
Review: I like O'Reilly's 'state of the nation' tome here but wish to add to his comments:
1) America has become a surveillance state in almost everything we do and our Supreme Court has neither the courage or wherewithal to protect us.The average American worker will be videotaped,recorded,archived in almost every workplace task not to mention intrusive background checks. We live in a society where cases are being made against us that we are powerless to resist and our policymakers with a few exceptions don't care 2) How many jobs have been lost to America through NAFTA and lenient immigration policies? While the standard of living increases for Mexico,Canada,India and others,the typical American now is seeing a general trend of downward mobility her or his predecessors never saw. How many Indian immigrants have taken well-paying jobs away from natural U.S. citizens? In the U.S.,it is almost better to be a foreigner than a citizen,because the policymakers hold you in higher regard. 3) Why is that even in poor countries families are so much stronger than the average American family? Is America by design organized in such a way as to create enough discord such that the masses from the lower classes have enough latent rage which serves to keep them continuously ready to wage war? 4) Are military troops used as economic pawns to bolster any given administration? It seems that just prior to any significant troop deployment there is rising unemployment and a scarcity of jobs. As troops are called into active duty, this creates temporary job openings for their positions.If 100,000 troops are activated,perhaps 75-80,000 temp job openings may occur.When those troops are recalled, the temp openings are lost and the 75-80,000 temp jobs are eliminated,boosting the unemployment stats by that figure. If the troops are called back strategically,this can create an unexpected job load on the next administration, making it more difficult for that new administration to balance employment. 5) Are most churches just big business? Some churches are actually listed on the stock exchange and many churches are customers to insurance companies.What is supposed to be the role of churches? How many desperate people are truly served by churches? A poll of homeless,working homeless and such will reveal an increasing number of people who are the refuse of a society too concerned with "take care of yourself" to have compassion. 6) What about the real war being fought in this country between men and women? The natural love that exists between men and women is being corrupted by adolescent squabbling over power and privelege.No longer is being a good mother a noble thing nor is it feminine anymore to be caring and nurturing to a husband. In the future, there may be baby farms and the majority of contact between men and women might just be to procreate and little else as each goes their own way.Women have become increasingly independent but have not yet accepted the responsibility towards men men have almost always had towards them: to take care of them.Women are showing strength but no support to men.Divorce,workplace,and sex-related laws are being routinely abused even though there is a legitimate need. Cyrano de Bergerac nowadays would be in jail for stalking.
