"Seventy percent of Americans don't want that mosque down there."

"It was Muslims who killed us."

And that's suppose to be how freedom works....?
Sounds to me like O'Reilly just wants to be popular.
After all......

the easiest way to make money is to follow the smell of money.
Wish they would stop flip-flopping between "we have drifted away from the Constitution" and "we are going against the will (vote) of American public".
The Constitution from the very beginning was never about popular vote. It was a compromise that gave smaller colonies a bigger voice in government (yet to be) than would have by popular vote alone. Without which, they would not have signed onto the Declaration of Independence; only to be governed without representation......again.
One also needs to remember,
the American Revolutionary War was almost lost.
Regardless of number of soldiers sent, material support, or number of battles fought on home soil, the smaller colonies are entitled to fairness regardless of vote; however unpopular.
Same go for religion.
To side with O'Reilley, self appointed spokesperson for seventy percent of Americans as well, one becomes the very same people our ancestors came to America trying to escape. You cannot value freedom of religion and be an oppressor simultaneously without it being about you instead of rights.
The mosque not being being built, by any means not their own initiative, then you might as well burn The Constitution and change the national anthem to "ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT"; til everyone is of same "opinion".
The Declaration of Independence you can keep.
Hang on to it.
Like knowing when to dump stocks, you can always buy it back cheap.
It is about you.....right?
