O'Reilly Lambastes Obama & 'Secular Progressives' Who Are 'Bent on Destroying Traditional America' in Epic Fox Segment
On Monday night, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly had some tough words for secular progressives, highlighting their purportedly dangerous views on social and economic issues. The subject of his "Talking Points Memo" segment asked, "Is traditional America gone for good?"
The popular television host commenced the segment by noting his belief that traditional America can, once again, rise to prominence, however, he contended that "it will take a very special person to make that happen." To corroborate O'Reilly's point that the nation may, indeed, bounce back to its traditional roots, he noted that, despite winning re-election, Obama is slipping in popularity.
"Left-wing ideology did not win the day for Barack Obama. Big spending on federal programs did. That's the key," O'Reilly said. "Because many in the media would have us believe that liberal ideology was confirmed by this election. It was not."
Or particular note, O'Reilly hammered the president's secular progressivism, claiming that Obama is "the poster guy" for the anti-traditionalist movement. After showcasing statistics and information surrounding births out of wedlock, abortion and other societal issues, the host noted that secular progressives have done little to curb these phenomena.
"Abortion is settled law in the USA, but it should be discouraged, because human DNA is present upon conception," O'Reilly said. "Thus the situation becomes a human rights issue."
The host asked if Americans want to live in a nation "where potential human life…is terminated for convenience." As for marijuana legalization, another issue he tackled during the segment, he held little back, noting that, "Legalizing pot sends a message that it's fine to use it."
From their stance on the "mythical war on women" to out-of-control entitlement spending, O'Reilly had no accolades to shower upon secular progressives. In fact, he made it clear that the movement, led by Obama, is a hazard to the nation's social and political health.
"I believe the American people can be persuaded that the far left is a dangerous outlet bent on destroying traditional America and replacing it with a social free-fire zone that replaces it with dependency and poverty," O'Reilly proclaimed.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:34amLess than one week after the election and all manner of information comes out. Bill, you could have said this when it meant something but you wouldn't. Now its just joining what will be the never ending faint chorus of "oh crap, what do we have now". Too little too late. I'm not watching Fox News, they pretty much sold out.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:42amBill sold out long before others at FOX did. It is crawfish time for the lot. They will try anything they can to keep their ratings.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:43amYeah, O'Reilly likes to swing both ways depending on the direction of the wind. I refuse to watch his sorry **** any more.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:49amI haven't supported FOX news in years. They're all shills for the GOP establishment and are always creating their own controversies to boost ratings.
Don't forget, if you don't buy O'Reilly's latest book you're a terrorist.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:03amTraditional America? The 1950s were not traditional America. The late 19th century and early 20th had deplorable irking conditions. Poor people were sent to The Poor House. Prior to that people toiled on farms for basic substinance. We had two world wars, continued racial segregation and institutionalized racism and a Great Depression in the twentieth century. The only constant were the rich living lifestyles of extravagance at the expense of the masses. That is what the Koch brothers (who's father made his fortune building Soviet oil fields for Stalin) and their ilk want us back to. Low wages, no health care, education for the wealthy only, and poverty in old age was the tradition for the first 150 years of this country.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:29amREally?
folks if you needed bill to tell you all this, then you all are as dumb as the libs.…and Carrol, to point it out a week later?
Where was your head this election?
What did you do to help get the word out?
What are YOUR values?
If you weren't so busy with your life and took a tad bit more interest in the country you might have gootten out and help.And how did Bill sell out? YOu are a mindless rube. You are suppose to be free thinkers and you chastize and blame Bill for your stupidity!
We get what we asked for and what we live for. We gave nothing and get nothing in return. You are are sheeple with no interests in what is good for the nation.
Naysayers and finger pointers. Would you die for your country? I would.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:36amRegardless of his timing or what you think of Bill O as a person, he is absolutely right.
There are those who think no rules = freedom; this is as false as the notions that we can regulate bad behavior out of existence, or force people to make proper decisions.
There is a God, He has rules, and disobeying those rules have consequences. It is our duty to use our ability to reason and to receive revelation to enact laws that walk the fine line between maximum freedom and minimal government, thus allowing people to use their ability to choose that they may learn, while protecting them from things whose consequences are very dear.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:11amwell said friend .oh and dont forget my new book blah blah blah.fox news is a an absolute joke .atleast the rest of the media doesnt try and hide behind something they are not .
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:12amBill sold out long ago; now he's freaked out? Whatever, Bill is now irrelevant.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:13amAs a secular progressive, you're damn right I'm bent on destroying "your" America
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:14am@Deuteronomy22…Who did you learn revised USA history from??? Yes, the homesteader's had it the toughest, but each generation had wealth to build upon…My Grandparents prospered well until the Fed government thought they knew how to spend their money better….
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:17amCarol is right — To prove that he is "fair and balanced" O'Reilly didn't let Obams's "spin" stop on his show. Instead, he kept pushing the "Obama is a nice guy" mantra. The blind leading the blind!
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:25amWe all know you needed to add the Class Warfare perspective, Deut.
You deny reality and substitute your own, hoping nobody notices. Sorry, you fail.
Cheers, kid.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:30amWhat is the driving force behind state petitions for secession? Here is a great speach from the past that spells out everything Bill said decades ago.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:30amlate to the show…now WE have to live this nightmare…
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:35amOnly the Progs and Leftist's watch O'Reilly these day's….. The awakened couldn't care less about his PC Obozo sympathizing.
The Lee Greenwood song- I'm proud to be an American to the Progs America Hating / Obozo's is like a Ozzy Osborne song to the Southern Baptist's in the early 1980′s. Evil……. pure evil.
The Obozo Progs, the America hating PC BS, Progs will destroy the country in a year or two if left alone. These people are ridiculous and just fools.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:40amI no longer listen to Bill Reilly for news analysis. He's suffers from normalcy bias and is an obnoxious narcissist. His show has become repetitious and boring.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:40amTrue freedom comes through self control. My rights end where another's begins. You cannot legislate or tax freedom into existence. I don't think that Bill gets it. We don't need more legislation that harms our right of self determination. There are higher laws/ consequences in life and beyond for bad decisions. Attempting to force people to live the way you want is how we got here in the first place! Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, I for one am tired of or politicians bickering over which rights and freedoms they can restrict next or who gets stuff at others expense! Both political parties are guilty. This is not what America was founded upon. The culture war is about hearts and minds. It's about getting our own house in order and not forcing our will upon others who are unwilling. The culture war can only be won by willing participants.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:42amI only wish he was correct. Secular progressives WILL win the day but it is still a way off. Traditional america is dying and it should. It worked for a while but when will you people wake up and realize your can't run a modern government based on ideals that are 200 years old (or thousands of years old if you still believe the bible).
Face the facts. Who is rated as the "happiest" and most secure countries year after year? It is those dreaded European socialist countries. Who was just rated the wealthiest? The evil European socialist group of Scandanavian countries. Secular progressives are the way of the future. American exceptionalism is a joke and only prevents us from moving forward. You can't grow and prosper as a country if all you can do is look back. Look Forward. It is coming whether you like it or not. You cannot stop progress -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:43amWho gives a crap what O'Reilly says anymore??? He lost my confidence and respect way back when he kept giving Obama the "Benefit of the doubt"…Get lost O'Reilly,and take Rove and Morris with ya…

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:44amWe fought to bring down the wall in Berlin, let us not forget.
Socialism and Communism is Evil. Listen to Reagan's speech at the Berlin wall. Very inspiring.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:45am@Deuteronomy22 You are in a short-sighted ideological bubble. I will burst it. While social conditions weren't ideal in America during the last 150 they were idyllic compared to conditions in most countries on Earth, this is a fact. Even today, "poor Americans" live far better than most people on countries like India, China, which is saying a good percentage of humanity. Not no mention the formal political rights Americans are granted.
If America achieved such living and political standards: freedom, equal rights, etc. it's only because of Judeo Chrisitian ethics, which enabled capitalism, this is a well known fact among sociologists, O'reilly is referring to that.
Unfortunately people like you think like spoiled brats, your navel-gazing ideology makes you ignore the sufferings of humanity. -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:48amI totally agree Carol! I stopped watching O'Reilly about a year ago and stopped watching Fox several months ago!!! As Glenn's book states………"Cowards"!!!!
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:55amSocialism wants to make heaven on earth through mans control. The new Golden Calf Idol Big Government, which takes care of everyone. You have to give up a lot of freedom for that to work, which when human nature shows up as it always does, socialism does not work. They never take into account human nature.
Socialism takes away the free will of caring for the less fortune, because the Big Government will do it.
Socialism is not an economic system, which is what they want you to believe, it is a secular belief system for humanity that replaces religion. This comes from Marx's early writings that explain socialism and communism try intent.
"Once fully embraced and understood than the people will become better Humans, and we will have a better Human Race"
Very scary as it is taking hold right now.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:03amBill always likes to think that he's ahead of the curve, when, in fact, he's behind the 8-ball. It cements the unspoken third law of thermodynamics – 'Speak with authority and the sheep will follow'.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:31am"Left-wing ideology did not win the day for Barack Obama. Big spending on federal programs did. That's the key," O'Reilly said. "Because many in the media would have us believe that liberal ideology was confirmed by this election. It was not."
Your whole statement is an OXYMORON Bill O'reilly. Just like YOU!
I wonder how many DOPES actually take this jack-ass's words to heart.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:40amThey didn't sell out. They held back in fear of being labeled Racists. They have the highest rated shows but the smallest market share. The combined lame stream media is massive compared to Fox, so they tend to be too cautious. It's the same reason they showed Beck the door even though his rating numbers were great..
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:50amToo little too late for Ted Baxter. Amazing how he continues to give a platform for the people hell bent on destroying what is left of our country. But that is a charge for all of Fox News. Not welcome in our house anymore.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 12:17pmI new when bill got invited to an obma dinner about three yrs ago it was all over!
He spent 2 weeks telling everyone how "striking" michelle was!
He was indoctrinated!
Now something has gone awrier. -
Stone Cold Truth
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 12:32pmDeuteronomy22, so you hate the 50′s but you would have us live out the 30′s forever instead? Technology and improvements in quality of life throught the 20th century were not the result of government actions or programs. You would have us sell our selves into bondage for 10,000 years as the Hebrews did with Pharaoh just to eat. That happened to them because they became complacent and failed to prepare for their own survival because they could always just put it on Pharaoh'a tab when food ran out. You pretend as though the ideas and policies of the 30′s are new and even more ridiculously that they produce anything other than long term shared misery and servitude. I think I hear your Obamaphone ringing…
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 12:43pmTotally agree!! Before 2008 I remember OReilly talking extensively about the perils of voting Obama into office. After the election, and through his entire presidency, I have not heard a ringing form of disagreement from his show about the policies coming from the administration. Now he tells us! Makes no sense. This is one of the issues I had with this election. If I was Romney I would have been out there with bells and whistles explaining exactly what Obamacare will mean, pulling out paragraph and page number of the policies that will hurt the country and passing them out at campaign stops (this is just one explample I can think of). The candidates spent billions of dollars on the race, you can't tell me the Romney campaign could not find a couple of lawyers to go over the bill, pull it out, print it and and inform those who needed to truely understand what this bill means.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 12:48pmToo little too late, Bill. You straddled the fence until you realized you were going to lose market share. Peddle your wishy washy flip flop garbage to someone else, I've had enough of it.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 12:51pmExactly Carol. I haven't listened to O'Reilly for a couple of years now. He was always giving these Leftists the benefit of the doubt while they actively undermined our society and our Constitution, now when it's too late, he wants to state the obvious. Fox pushed Romney from the start, just like they did with McCain and now Fox has joined MSNBC and NBC on the list of channels that are blocked on my Directv satellite box.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:00pmSomeone tell Orielly that America isn't just a country,it's an idea that man can self govern……And that the destruction of that is the destruction of America. Anyone so brain dead as to not see this damn sure shouldn't be talking to millions of people nightly.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:07pmBill O is a fool, Rush calls him Ted Baxter and it fits. Read fresh political commentary at:http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:26pmBill O'Reilly, you asked if Americans want to live in a nation "where potential human life…is terminated for convenience."
Uh, 50 MILLION abortions later… welcome to the game. Baby-killing is the cornerstone of the Liberal religion – where the only "god" is Self.
Bill, you noted your belief that traditional America can, once again, rise to prominence, however, you contend that "it will take a very special person to make that happen."
That PERSON is Jesus. Only when people repent of their wicked ways and turn to Jesus with a complete surrender to His ways will this nation ever begin to hope for a resurgence of what you remember as "traditional America". Like it or not, traditional social norms that defined your generation were pinned directly to the moral code of Christianity.

Well said. That goes for me too. -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:36pmEasy…Let's be smart…We will need him and the likes to get this country back….Beck tried to warn him many times…..Now he is beginning to see the light clearly, which he wasn't.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:55pmTrue, but I doubt anybody not in agreement with him would have been watching anyway. He's preaching to the choir.
Romney should have though.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:57pmgogdr,
You forgot to mention that the studies that show where people are happiest are created by the socialists. Can you name any study on that subject that is not connected to george soros or soe other socialist group? I think not.
Also…I'd be interested to know…..which principles are you talking about that would no longer work? -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 2:36pmHey Deuteronomy22,
You don't have a clue about what you are attempting to talk about. The "traditional America" O'Reily was referring to is about out moral and social values. Not economics.
But since you did bring up economics. Let just take the past 100 years. When did we have the most prosperiety? Was it under Coolidge, Eisenhower and Reagan? Or was it under Roosevelt, Carter, and Obama?
I won't even bother to discus social and moral values. Just go outside and take a look around.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 3:29pmI 100% agree, FOX re-elected Oblahblah. Blowing his trumpet the whole time. Instead of investigative journalism they all adhered to the corrupt polling to give the image this election which was stolen was a "close race". FOX is a traitor. A mere establishment RINO network. O'Reilly is a hack.. One thing I have learned about over educated people is this. They lack common sense, they need to replace optimism with pessimism. Only then will they change.,
We are under attack, what you are seeing is the Rothchild's Vs. The Muslim brotherhood. And it is the unsung war. World War III is now. If you can't see this your a fool. We have been sold out. We are on our own. We must stand and fight. Now is the time
A marchin we must go, a marchin we must go!!!!
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 4:16pmSadly, I would have to agree with you. It's just the other side of the coin. Everyone at Fox is fearful like all those afraid to come forward with the truth. Sorry Bill, you blew it when asked who you support. Either you make a stand and fail or, not make one and fall. That is why I respect Glenn Beck; He says it like it is, Risking all in the process; He may or has lost like the rest of us, but at least he can rest his head knowing he tried.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 5:54pmAgree – I stopped watching O'Reilly earlier this year after his insistence that big oil was gouging "the folks" and his lack of even basic knowledge surrounding guns when he was opining about gun control.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 6:31pmO'Reilly is nearly unbearable. He interrupts..he has a look on his mug that surpasses Obama's in terms of smugness….with only Hillary Clinton's Mussolini like "above the neck gestures" beating both O'Reilly and Obama….I will continue to watch re-runs of Storage Wars in lieu of Bill O'Reilly….even if I have seen them 5 times already.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 6:38pmI agree, O'Reilly is a zero; non-commital except to say he wasn't voting democrat at one point. But what really gets me is all the media people who refer to him a "president" obama. NOT. I wonder if anybody knows he's not a natural born American. DUH
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 7:09pmBill O'Reilly is coming out with it now because he knows it doesn't matter..Before he was too much of a wuss to say anything about obama but now it's A-OK? Sorry Bill but IMO you are NO conservative you just play one on TV.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 7:58pm@Dogdr Let's see how well those almost homogeneous Scandanavian countries do when the US is no longer footing the bill to protect their enlightened rear ends from Russia. If I were living in a small country as devoid of diversity as theirs (meaning just about everyone shares my culture and values) and I did not neet to travel 30 miles just to get to a town with a feed store I would probably be contented as well. Not a good example to compare with a nation as large and geographically and culturally diverse as ours. Oh, and did I mention they don't give benefits to non citizens.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:19pmWow now threatening murder is tolerated on The Blaze? MAX POWER 1 said,
"@jefftavolieri As a traditional American, I would be happy to put a bullet in your head. " and liberals are violent and hateful. No wonder people reject The Tea Party. -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:27pmHey MAX POWER 1. You are a coward. You want to shoot those who disagree with you. Who are you, Mao, Stalin, Hitler? You think they'll all line up so you can execute them? You know there are neighborhoods in Philadelphia that voted 100% for Obama. Why don't you start there? See how far you get you keyboard warrior.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:59pmYep…Bill was ONE OF THE FIRST to sell out….with the BC issue.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:51pmI don't care if you watch Fox or not, but Bill O'Reilly is brilliant. Of course, if you're too dumb to realize that O'Reilly specializes in morality, then you're probably already f*cked.
Posted on November 14, 2012 at 6:12amHe is just realizeing this ,after it stared him in the face for four years ! You are not to good on the up take bill !
Posted on November 14, 2012 at 7:42amPlease, as "smart" as Bill O thinks he is, he is an idiot. The signs of who Obama really is has been out there for a long time. Bill like many Americans dont seem to believe that Obama really have bad intention s for America. How come folks like many of us and Glenn Beck can see that and Bill cannot? He is an over rated blowhard.

He's a loud mouthed buffoon, a bully who used to always get beat up on the playground untiI he sprouted up to 6 11 or however tall this knuckle dragger came to be. I don't know how anyone with 1/4 of a brain still watches him after his "we don't even know how the tides works" retort to Richard Dawkins. Unless, that is, you watch him the way I do, as a sociology experiment which studies the power of high decibel propaganda.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:46amMost watched news show – far far more popular than any of the liberal outlets so I guess your comment that you don't know anyone who watches means you must live in a very small closet.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:12amHe meant he doesn't know anyone who can think for themselves that watches him, numb nuts.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:50amregarding the "Most watched CABLE News Show" claim by O'Reilly…. look at the media buys, compare to MSNBC. While the total audience is higher at FNS, the viewers skew to 55+. Media planners want 35-54 and MSNBC's numbers have been getting closer and closer to FNS for the demographic that advertisers want. FNS's perceived bias keeps many buyers away from that audience. Which by the way pales in comparison to what Walter Cronkite drew in 1980, 15 million plus average and O'Reilly is but only half of what networks still get [3.5 to 4.5 million viewers vs. Bill's 2.2m to 2.5m]. The word for today is "bloviator"….Pompous blowhard, using their celebrity to speak about topics on which they are totally unqualified.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:07amU4 – you nail part of it.
Marketing is key
That is how we americans are bought! -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:12amU4eeeahhh……….."FNS's perceived bias keeps many buyers away from that audience", because MSNBC has no perceived bias…….brilliant!
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:54amHonestly, I'm a big liberal, but to say that MSNBC has no perceived bias is insane. During the election, I was going around the dial, including to Fox News, to get the full spread of broadcast news, and some of the MSNBC cheerleading made me sick.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:21amI don't know what it is about Bill…. a normalcy bias or what? It seems Bill is finally acknowledging the "Far Left" is destroying America. But he still refuses to say it is the Communists/Socialists/ Progressives/Radicals/Anarchists working towards the same ends.. Maybe it is ego that he refuses to understand that Glenn is closer to the truth than about anyone out there. I'd rather error on the side of being an alarmist and be wrong than a passivist and be wrong. God save the Republic!

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:32amYeah, ThomasUSA – You've echoed my sentiments almost perfectly. There's something about Bill that I admire and am thankful for, but he seems to me to be on the fence too darn much. Maybe it's just my perception. I missed the show last night, but will watch this vid tonight. I'm glad he was on target about this.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:33amFrom Bill O'Reilly all we have heard has been
"Give obama the benefit of the doubt"
One of the The Factor's slogans—Who's looking out for you?
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:33amYou are so right. I have gone back to reading a good book over watching Bill O. Life is much better without Bill O.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:00pmI for one am glad for his "conversion". May seem late but better than never getting it. As far as Blazers, I have a message to you. I am tired of the anger towards everyone, it is useless, and only hurts the person. We aren't yet humble enough and we have a job to do to keep the next generation being like the young one now. We still have choices, typing here all day (and night) or doing something to change the hearts and minds in the socialist schools. Parents vote in school boards, can create hell when teachers are out of control, so get hot. Read the texts of books used, and challenge everything thats distorted or wrong. As for the gloater trolls, well I think I pity you. When your world unravels and the monetary system goes to hell, and there's no more money for handouts, it won't get pretty, your freedom is up for grabs too, fools.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:24amYou're a joke. O'Reilly has been on that message forever. He gave basically the same talk 2-3 weeks ago, and many times before. Look, I'm not a big O'Reilly fan, but his talking points have been spot on and consistent for years. We would all do well to listen to his talking points, then turn him off.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:39amBob – don't waste your time and thoughts.
These rubes are the sellouts.
They did nothing to help.
They didn't want to support Romney or they would have battled.
Where was the tea party?
Where was Palin?
Most of the Teaparty candidates got voted out.
Where was their voices.
We're a lazy as old white guy party. Except me.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:17amO'Reilly is a senile has been hack. For years the evidence has been abundantly clear that this nation was and is losing its' identify at the hands of Marxists. Even today, he uses the word Progressives when describing these evil people who hate America and wish her destruction.Too late to little from the biggest Media Pin Head around. So much for his Haaarvarrdd education. The man is an out of touch jerk.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:10amProgressives continue to believe that they will somehow create a social utopia and that they will avoid the vicious results of other socialist and communist countries. This belief can only be supported if one is ignorant, arrogant or both. We have created or allowed to be created, a large perhaps majority of the population that are uneducated, unskilled and dependent on government handouts. I see no way of returning this country to the things that made it powerful: moral strength and individual liberty (which has at its core self reliance)

You've failed your audience, those who used to respect you, but more so, yourself!!!
You and so many others are in my prayers.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:01amI saw it last night and he concludes that we need a very special politician to turn the tide back to a more traditional America. Really Bill? You think a politician will turn this country around? That's as bad a the liberals looking at Obama as the messiah. One man is not going to change the country, it's going to take hundreds of millions of us to do it, each one starting in his own house.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 9:07amGONZO, I don't know. I do recall seeing a major change wash over this nation as Reagan was sworn in. After just four years of the damage that Carter committed. It was as if there was a national sigh of relief. Reagan was not called the Great Communicator for no reason. Trouble is, there is not another Ronald Reagan, but there should be somebody out there who can rise above all of this before this country as we know it is gone. But, its going to take all of us to get behind a person who can lead and turn this mess around. I am thoroughly ticked that so many Republicans sat at home instead of voting. I'm mad as hell at those within the military or DoD personnel who shipped hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots to Afghanistan since they were boxed and "accidnentally" labeled as ammunition and subsequently shipped to Afghanistan and were only discovered the day after the deadline that cut off vote counting. Talk about voter disenfranchising! This is nothing new either. Al Gore got away with it in Florida during the vote count dispute.
Keep your powder dry folks. -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:04amR.J., Seems like yesterday to me as well, but that was a long time ago and the country wasn't as far down the drain as it is now. Romney was as good of a morality role model as there was in politics today. They destroyed him, made him look evil. America gets what it deserves, an immoral country will never elect a moral leader. That's why we need to change things from the ground up. All that being said, I don't think it will happen. I think the moral decline continues and this country becomes Europe. Europe had 60 years of U.S. protection, who is going to protect us?
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:21amGonzo,
I watched it last night also. I thought that Bill was mostly right. As far as there has to one politician to turn it around, Regan was a great example. Do you believe that in all of America there is not one voice that has the right message? My faith tells me that there has to be at least one leader out there to be the example. He or she is probably afraid to speak up because they see how we eat our own. They see the trails they will have to endure if they speak up. When that person comes forth with the message, we have to stand behind them. The democraps have beaten us down because they do not go after each other. I pray that God gives us the courage to see the truth and accept it. -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:44amGONZO I agree with you…we're not looking for a messiah. What O'Reilly I believe is trying to say is that a politician needs to emerge that speaks these truths in a manner that can reach everyone.
It's a tall order when the media and the education system has poisoned the message before it's even spoken. -
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 2:02pmI agree! But in our system it still takes a leader. Or leadership.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 7:58amO'Reilly took the "fair and balanced" thing too far. I stopped watching him when he started trying to support the left in order to be fair. I think it is too late, but if he wants to try to change things…good luck.

Socialism thrives solely on centrally/controlled government.
Faith is the crutch of individualism.
There is no room for individualism in modern socialism.
That is why we must fight back this tide.
They want to marginalize the Judeo-Christian ethic so we must push back and illustrate the emptiness of totalitinarianism.
Challenge them on every level. We are not drafting inductees here.
We preserving constitutionally guaranteed INALIENABLE rights.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 7:57amThe other day I saw 3 young women (at least 18 yrs. of age each) in the grocery store together. Each one of them was pushing a baby stroller, and each one of them pulled out an EBT card to pay for their groceries. It was like "girls day out" for them together at the local grocery store. It was sickening.. perfectly healthy young women playing the "system" rather than trying to get a job.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:33amMy brother has long been unable (due to life-choices) to really have a lucrative job. That's bad enough. He also has serious health limitations for which he needs maintenance medications. He applied for charity health care, and provided a financial statement to prove his low income. They insisted that he had to be on food stamps to receive further consideration. Up until then he had put food in his belly, clothes on his back, and gas in his car with no help, but it didn't matter. In other words: they aren't happy unless you are on at least two government assistance programs. They proactively reward dependence.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:02amI'm so sorry for your logical impairment. Get better soon.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:17amSoy's argument is sound. O'Reilly is saying his progressive view is better than the secular progressive view and the government (or that one special politician) should legislate his version of morality. He completely misses, as do many progressives, that his views should be handled by the states and not the central government. O'Reilly is a giant statist as are most social conservatives. End of story.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:25amAgreed.
Posted on November 13, 2012 at 7:51amWhere the hell have you been Bill? Beck has for the past 2 years been trying to warn you about this. Now I'm afraid it's a little bit too late Bill, they have already destroyed America.

Winger For The Weekend #22
Winger #22 comes from the esteemed Dr. Steve Downes, a philosophy professor at the University of Utah and the former president of the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance, which works with local land managers to maintain and improve climber access to the multitude of crags around SLC. Dr. Downes has in the past expressed concern that perhaps some of us here at Black Diamond are too stoked (aka, "over-stoked") and hoped this news clip would enlighten us to the very real dangers of being stoked.

LA lawyer files suit against Microsoft over Surface storage capacity
Los Angeles-based lawyer Andrew Sokolowski has filed a suit against Microsoft due to the fact the companys Surface RT tablet ships with less free space than advertised. The attorney believes Microsoft intentionally buried details about the actual amount of usable storage out of the box.
Sokolowski said he purchased a 32GB Surface RT tablet last week but ran out of storage space after loading some music and Word files onto it. After a bit of research, he realized that only 16GB of the claimed 32GB was on tap for him to use Lawyers representing him (lawyers representing a lawyer, weird, right?) are seeking class action status alleging false advertising and unfair business practices. The suit was filed earlier this week in the Superior Court in Los Angeles with the goal of getting Microsoft to change how they advertise the tablets capacity. Microsoft released a statement on the matter saying that customers understand that the operating system and pre-installed applications reside on the devices storage, effectively reducing the total free space. Redmond also pointed out that customers can add additional storage via the microSD card slot or through the USB port. The company posted a FAQ on their website earlier this month outlining exactly how much free space each capacity tablet ships with. If you missed that post, heres a quick refresher. The 32GB Surface RT has only 16GB of usable space with a fresh install of Windows while the 64GB model ships with 46GB of free space. http://www.techspot.com/news/50828-l...-capacity.html

Does any table, or for that matter any electronic device, give you full use of the space advertised? The OS and other files generally always take up some space.

No because they clearly state that 1GB=1,000,000,000Bytes, it isn't their fault that software companies use the wrong number for Giga.

Why is he suing over this? This is nothing new, everyone knows this. They're advertising it as a 32GB model which is what it is. Tough shit that it doesn't have 32GB of usable space, that would require it to be 48GB or whatever.

It's not really reasonable to give people something with almost half the space any other 32gb tablet would have on it and not tell them before they buy it. Having a tablet OS that takes up 16gb is going to be a large problem with these windows tablets. The issue here is that a 32Gb Apple/Android table would have ~28-29Gb of space on it, where the windows ones apparently have ~16Gb

As mentioned in the other post about this, "storage" space does not automatically imply all of it is "free" out of the box. This lawyer may as well try to sue all the HDD manufacturers whom say their drives are 1TB when you only get 931GB of actual space. LOL
As xBruce mentioned, they only give reference to the total capacity. I see no claim that 32GB storage means 32GB actual free space WITH all included apps and OS installed. If this jerk wins it will only be due to loopholes that allow such scumbags to manipulate the legal system, or an idiot judge. An interesting scenario would be if this lawyer lost because when asked why he had no closing statement, he said he had no space left on his Surface to store it.

When your selling a 32GB Tablet with 16GB of usable storage space for the same price as the competitors 16GB table it becomes much less of a problem.

Guys... I think the lawyer is right in suing Microsoft.....
If you are advertising 32GB you should at-least provide 22-26GB Space for storage after OS & other files installations.... I have a 32GB i-phone & it gives me around ~29GBs Storage space after ios installed... Generally any product will always remain in the 80% of the advertised storage capacity.... I think MS should either reduce the size of Win OS & its application & provide with 25Gigs of space....OR They should simply state new GB (number)... They cant advertise it as 16GB product bcoz it gives complete 16GB & originally has more space... But, It is not illegal to advertise it as after 16GB 32 is the standard... But it is not ethical...Some people may actually purchase it thinking they will get 25gigs but end up getting only ~2gigs more than others... ORRR Microsoft is paying this guy to sue them to gain customers.....Microsoft has done many things in the past...All they simply care about is publicity & business....They are Purely Business oriented people..never think about inventing & R&D kinda stuff.... All they do is acquisition of companies to improve their product... IN Microsoft R&D and M&A(merger & acquisition) are one and the same thing.... A friend of mine in Microsoft says that Microsoft promotes the piracy of its OSes for home usage so that it will become more popular than other OSes... & it has worked as a CHARM because 99.99% of PCs in INDIA have windows OS... The .01% have Linux/ubuntu for networking companies.... Only a handful of people who can afford a PC will be using any other OS at Home here(thats about 30-40 Crore customers)....

Not even remotely the same thing. Also, if you're seeing only 10 GB I think you might have a problem.

This lawsuit can happen only in USA....I can pick the cheapest unknown brand of USB flash memory and on the back of the plastic packaging it will warn me, that I will not be getting the advertized size as usable space. Let alone a whole tablet.

well, applause for that lawyer guy, that is what MS is getting for not beeing honest and assholes... doesnt matter if Apple or MS, big companies need to get sued, all that money in one place can only mean greed, asshattery and dishonesty. i hope he wins and gets as much as possible... this is only a small step towards a world where Corporations are loosing more and more power, but at least it is one.
Every free person needs to understand, that every major company, would gladly sell the dried remains of your whole family, if they could just make a little profit with it, without getting caught... dont trust people that could easily buy and get and do everything they need,and want to do, wheter legal or illegal

Morning Joe | February 27, 2013
>>> we have moved a bill in the house twice. we should not have to move a third will before the senate gets off their ass and begins to do something.
>> i think he should understand who is sitting on their posterior. we're doing our best here to pass something. the speaker is doing nothing to try to pass anything over there.
>> welcome back to " morning joe ." 21 past the hour. joining us now from capitol hill , democratic senator from virginia , senator mark warner . we also have donny deutsch , mark halperin , john heilemann, all back at the table.
>> all right, governor, let me ask you this, if you went 1,400 days without putting a budget out as governor of the state of virginia , would you not sort of not be in the position to complain about the other side not doing -- today is the 1400th day since democrats have actually passed a budget and --
>> you know, at the end of the day , i think people are tried blaming who --
>> no, no, no, hold on a second. with all due respect, 1,400 days since you guys have passed a budget. we're friends, but you can at least admit that the democratic senate and harry reid is in no position to point fingers at people for inaction, right?
>> we ought to pass a budget and we're going to pass a budget this year. but let's also lack at the fact that there's not a single plan out there. i've been involved in every one of these bipartisan plans that hasn't said, you need about, on the minimum, about $1.2 trillion if you're going to do a new revenue, if you're going to do a $4 trillion deficit reduction plan. i'm all for believing we have boot got to do more entitlement reform, but we have to do more revenues as well. and opposed to going through all of these stupid cuts, not only have we heard about 750,000 lost jobs, but in certain cases, we'll cost the taxpayers money. when we buy ten tanks, we get a volume discount. we'll break those contracts. when you do four years of cancer research , and don't get the first three years, you'll flush that. that's less meat and eggs going to the grocery store , driving up grocery prices. this was set up to be the stupidest of all options. whoever dreamed it up, who knows at this point, but at this point, let's avoid it. we have a plan tomorrow, half cuts, half revenues, but if we can't get that through, let's go ahead and give the president some discretion, so we can mix in some priorities.
>> we don't want to split hairs here, but the president came up with the plan, and finally admitted it this week.
>> senator mitch mcconnell wrote this about the sequester, senator. "the president's been going around warnings of utter chaos if the sequester takes effect. and while i agree that those cuts could be made in a smarter way, and don't like the fact that they fall disproportionately on defense, what does it say about the size of government that we can't cut it by 2%, 3% without inviting disaster? doesn't that make our point?
>> i think we can cut it more than that if you actually try to do it in a rational way, not over seven months of a fiscal year, where you have no ability to choose, i go back to those 975 separate programs in the navy. they're not all of equal value to the taxpayer or of equal value to the defense of the country. anybody that's been a governor, anybody that's run a business, there's a smart way and stupid way to cut back. this is the most stupid of all ways. all i'm saying, we ought to do targeted cuts and ought to do revenues and we ought to put entitlements on table as well.
>> good for you and you have.
>> okay, mark halperin , the fact that it's not done says what about who?
>> that there's no deal. that once the grand bargain fell apart, there's no way to get these things done easily. the logic was, put in things the that both sides like, that it would pass. that these individual deals can't move. and the tax issue right now is huge. i don't think the president would do a deal to replace the sequester that didn't have revenue. and i can't see a revenue deal passing the house that doesn't have major entitlement reform and major tax reform , which is nowhere near being ready to be voted on.
>> so donny deutsch , if you and i are debating in the next election, and i, a senator that voted for sequester and you're running against me, and you say, you slashed this and you slashed -- let's say in ross perot style, look at this chart. i'm going to show you a chart, this is a chart that john barrasso and mitch mcconnell put out. the top line is what happens without the sequester, the bottom line is what happens with the sequester, and it is, jeffrey sykes, professor of economics at columbia helpfully explained the other day, the line after the sequester cuts is actually below what barack obama said we were going to be doing, as far as cuts go, in 2009 !
>> thank you, professor erwin cory.
>> but look at this, though, seriously. so your hair is going to be on fire and you're going to be able to carry the day saying, i just slashed spending?
>> no. i want to throw that back to the senator of virginia . when you say that entitlements are on the table, specifically, you're the entitlement cut guy. go.
>> let's first of all go back to that chart. the reason those lines are so close is that 65% of the budget is not being touched by these entitlements. because that means military pay and personnel, that means social security , that means medicare, that means medicaid, that means agricultural subsidies . i go back to simpson bowles gang of six. we laid out a plan that cut $4 trillion out of our debt. we got the shots from the left and the right. but when you look at the domestic discretionary or the military discretionary lines, those cuts are actually about 8 to 10%.
>> but i want to go to the meat and potatoes. just talk to me specifically, because republicans need to hear democrats saying that. once again, you're in charge of it. you've got the paper in front of you. give me the entitlement cuts.
>> let we start with chain cpi, a more rational way to measure inflation. let's look at raising the cap on social security . let's look at a phased in, raising the age of social security . let's look at means testing , medicare. let's look at combining the various medicaid programs into a single deductible, so everybody's got at least a little bit of skin in the game, in terms of the services they use. let's look at things like graduate medical education , where we've got to make sure we train enough doctors, but there are some excesses in that category. we've got a list of about 12 separate line items that actually add up to hundreds of billions of dollars, that democrats and republicans have agreed on. we also want to acknowledge as we go into the entitlement debate, because health care costs are actually rising at a slower rate than they were projected to raise in 2010 , we've actually made some progress, whether that's the recession or whether that's the beginning of the affordable care act kicking in, there are some bright spots here that never get mentioned in the debate. but there's a whole host of very specific items that i would be in fair of.
>> john heilemann?
>> senator, i keep thinking that this is a -- that we're looking at this thing in isolation. the problem is, every one of these crisis we look at in isolation, we think about the fiscal cliff crisis, this crisis. we have a couple other things that are coming up. we'll have to vote on a continuing resolution to try to keep the government open, in a month or so, there's another debt ceiling vote coming up. stepping away from this deadline on friday, do we, over the course of the next -- as the succession of self-imposed crisis come down on us, do we have the wherewithal and the time to get back to what mark talked about, to get back to a grand bargain? is this chaos going to lead towards that, or is this chaos going to make it harder and more unlikely to get the big deal done over the course of the next two or three months?
>> remember with the macroeconomics, there's more private capital sitting on the sidelines now than ever before. the single biggest thing, holding back that capital and holding back reinvesting in america is us in washington, getting our act together, and doing that grand bargain. we need to do only another $2 billion over the next ten years. if we can't get that done, shame on all of us. it's going to mean revenue and entitlement reforms and yes it's going to mean some of those cuts, but done in a targeted smart way, where you can actually plan for them, rather than having them lump into a seven-month time frame .
>> all right, thank you so much, senator!
>> senator mark warner , thank you!
>> thanks for having you here?
>> you can't judge him, but he does have the courage to step forward and talk about entitlements.
>> that's true!
>> we thank you for that.
>> he has courage!
>>> coming up, a new lawsuit accuses the world's top beermaker of watering down their brew. cnbc's brian shactman joins us now.

Each year the Louisiana State Bar Association selects an attorney and judge in each region of the state to receive its prestigious Crystal Gavel Award, which recognizes community service and volunteer work. This year the honor was bestowed on Lafayette attorney Glenn Armentor — in large part for his decades of work helping at-risk youths — in a ceremony Friday. One of 10 children, Armentor grew up poor and paid his way through law school by working offshore. He credits many adult mentors for helping him stay on the right path so that he could earn his law degree. In 2009 he introduced the Glenn Armentor $10,000 "Pay it Forward" Scholarship Program of Excellence, which awards hardworking underprivileged youths with $10,000 scholarships to UL Lafayette. Since that time, seven worthy students have received one of the scholarships, with a goal of increasing the offering to six or eight scholarships per year.
Pas Bon
Only in Louisiana will you find prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes wasting away in jail cells for upwards of 10 years with almost nonexistent rehabilitation services, while murderers, rapists and other prison lifers receive job skills training and even the chance for an undergraduate degree. More than half of the state's prison population is housed in local prisons, as state-run prisons are reserved for "the worst of the worst," according to The Times-Picayune's must-read Sunday and Monday coverage on the state of Louisiana's prison system. Whether those local prisons are owned by local law enforcement agencies or north Louisiana businessmen who have private prisons to thank for their vast wealth, 11,000 of the 15,000 prisoners unleashed from local prisons in Louisiana every year have had no form of educational or transitional training. Roughly 50 percent of them will be back within five years.
Former N.P. Moss Middle School Principal Ken Douet is seeking more than $500,000 from the school system for what he claims is school board favoritism that prevented him from taking over as principal of the Early College Academy following Moss's closure, but the erstwhile school administrator's monetary demands have more than doubled since October of last year when Douet calculated that he was owed $195,422, according to a letter sent by Douet's attorney to the school board and obtained by The Ind. Douet was principal of N.P. Moss when the north Lafayette middle school closed in 2011 due to consistently poor performance scores. A majority on the school board twice blocked Douet's appointment last summer as principal of the Early College Academy, a promotion being pushed by former Superintendent Burnell Lemoine. Board members say they had no idea at the time of the votes that Douet and Lemoine were close friends. The board's actions, according to board member Mark Cockerham, were to "stop rewarding principals of failing schools."

Chaska Teen Fatally Shot by Arrow
Chaska police say a 16-year-old Chaska boy has died after he was critically wounded by an arrow shot by his friend.

Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight said the aluminum-shaft arrow didn't have a sharp tip on the end of it, but it still caused critical injuries.
Police are investigating the incident, and will determine if charges will be filed against the 16-year-old who shot the arrow.

VA Simplifies Online Application
Posted at 05:45 PM on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 by post1603
WASHINGTON (May 5, 2010) - Veterans will find it easier and faster to apply for their health care benefits now that the Department of Veterans Affairs has updated its online Form 10-10EZ, "Application for Health Benefits.""VA is committed to tapping into the best that technology has to offer to ensure Veterans receive the benefits they have earned," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "We continue to look for new ways to improve access to care and benefits."
This revised online application provides enhanced navigation features that make it easier and faster for Veterans to apply for their health care benefits. This new version also allows Veterans to save a copy of the completed form for their personal records.
The most significant enhancement allows Veterans to save their application to their local desktop and return to the application at any time without having to start over. Previously, Veterans had to complete the form in a single session.
This updated online form, along with the revised VA Form 10-10EZ, reduces the collection of information from Veterans by eliminating some questions.
In addition, there are minor changes to simplify the wording of questions and provide clarity in the instructions. Further enhancements to the online application are expected to be delivered in increments throughout 2010.
Veterans may complete or download the 10-10EZ form at the VA health eligibility website at https://www.1010ez.med.va.gov/

Productivity in Practice: Going the Distance
With the tax season just about to get started, enduring long hours at the office is a dreaded reality that many accountants and tax professionals are about to face.
From the Jan. 2006 Issue
With the tax season just about to get started, enduring long hours at the office is a dreaded reality that many accountants and tax professionals are about to face. Of course, this is also the most profitable season of the year for many firms. So with fairly concrete benefits in mind, these professionals stand waiting for the starting gun to get the race to April 15 underway.
If you'll pardon the obvious racing metaphor, Dennis Greeno is no stranger to arduous feats, and there's little doubt that he has the endurance to go the distance and guide his practice and his clients to the finish line in profitable condition. In addition to having more than 20 years experience in the accounting field and being an Air Force veteran, the Goodlettsville, Tennessee, CPA has run 13 marathons, including three times in the Chicago event and once in Boston's.
Dennis says his love of running comes from a desire to stay fit as well as personally challenging himself. His best time so far has been 3 hours, 24 minutes. That's averaging nearly 8 miles per hour for 26 miles. But he hasn't always been as health-conscious, he says.
Firm Name/Professional: Dennis P. Greeno, CPA Location: Goodlettsville, Tennessee Productivity Score: 292 Practice Specialty: Restaurants, Hotels, Grocers, Construction First Client: Retail Grocer Favorite Professional Website: www.nysscpa.org Last Book Read: "Chronicles Vol. 1," by Bob Dylan Marathons Run: 13 -- Fastest Time: 3:24 |
"As an accountant, you're often cooped up in an office staring at a monitor, and it can be hard to get out of the office to exercise sometimes," he said. "By the time I was in my mid-30s, I was getting overweight and knew I had to do something to start getting in better shape." Greeno, who is now 50, was working as a corporate tax specialist for Northern Telecom (NT) at the time. The company had built a new headquarters with a fitness center for employees, and he joined up with others for running.
After the Air Force, Dennis used the G.I. Bill to attend Purdue and Western Kentucky University, graduating with a degree in accounting in 1982. Right out of college, he had originally worked for a small CPA firm in Nashville, preparing taxes, performing audits and assisting small businesses. After a few years at NT, Dennis decided to go back to those roots, opening his own practice in 1991.
By 1992, he and another local CPA, Tom Donaldson, agreed to share office space and basic resources, while maintaining separate practices with non-competing client bases. The three-person firm of Dennis Greeno, CPA (www.greenocpa.net), specializes in compilations, write-up and tax planning and preparation, and also provides payroll and business consulting services. While the core base of his clients consists of retail businesses, being in the Nashville area means the music industry also plays a role.
"The area has more than its share of music wannabes," he said. "Music is the reason many people move to the area, whether to write, play or sing. Of course, most of them don't make it, but they keep their dreams alive, even if they take a 'temporary' job to pay the bills." One such client has established a painting business that, because of the entrepreneur's bilingual capabilities, has become quite successful."But when he comes into the office, at some point he will talk about his plans to become a drummer."
The firm is about to go through some significant changes. Although Dennis says that sharing an office with Tom has been beneficial and that he has been one of the greatest influences during his career, Dennis will soon be moving his practice to a nearby office condo.

Developers on the Web Ascender team have been developing with ASP .NET since 2001 and ASP .NET MVC since 2010. Web Ascender became a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in 2009 and has multiple Microsoft Certified Application Developers on staff.
If you have a project that requires the knowledge and expertise of a seasoned ASP .NET development team, get in touch and find out how we can be of service.
Our team strives to be technology agnostic and we always want to use the right tools for the job. If we think ASP .NET and SQL Server will serve our clients better and fit within their current infrastructure, then we will recommend that approach. If using DotNetNuke as the core system and building custom ASP .NET DotNetNuke modules on top of the existing content management system is the best approach, that's what we will recommend. If a 100% custom solution using ASP .NET MVC or Ruby on Rails will make success easier to obtain, we will propose that. It's often not as important what technology is picked, but how it is used and implemented to achieve your goals.
Through the years, our development team has written countless lines of ASP .NET code. Much of it has been doing DotNetNuke module development which includes custom development for our most frequently used content management system. Majority of our new .NET development is with the ASP .NET MVC framework. For a closer look at what can be accomplished through this framework, take a look at some of the projects we have brought to life below.

The Ultimate Fighter: Top 5 Worst Coaches in the Show's History
By (Featured Columnist) on November 30, 2012

As the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter limps to its conclusion, one begins to wonder whether the show is in any way salvageable—even with Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen lined up as coaches for next season.
Staler than old bread, the TUF format is long overdue a makeover.
What exactly that would entail is anyone's guess. However, something has to be done to win back those fans who have grown tired of tuning in to a show that has become formulaic and repetitive, particularly as the talent has steadily waned.
With that being said, fear not. We can always go back to those earlier, classic seasons of TUF to remind ourselves of just how entertaining the show was in its prime.
Over the years, the UFC has offered up many of its top fighters as coaches for the show. While some have excelled, others have demonstrated that some people just aren't meant to coach.
What follows is a celebration—nay, lamentation of those fighters who coached themselves into a punchline.
5. Brock Lesnar

While the current WWE star was successful in terms of securing wins for his team, his impersonal approach to coaching was less than appealing.
Indeed, it seemed as though the show acted as fuel for his ego more than anything else. This was most clearly demonstrated when, after his fighter had won, he proclaimed that he had made "chicken salad out of chicken sh*t."
It's not the kind of line you tend to find in inspirational speeches.
Braveheart may have turned out differently had William Wallace inserted that gem into his motivational speech before the Battle of Stirling.
4. Matt Hughes

Intuitively, you would think that Matt Hughes was made for coaching. He had a strong wrestling background, years of training under Pat Miletich and almost unrivalled experience inside the cage.
Based on his performance as a coach on the second season of TUF, your intuition wouldn't be wrong.
It was during the sixth season, coaching opposite Matt Serra, that Hughes left something to be desired.
While his fighter may have won the show, his roster of fighters generally took a beating throughout the course of the season. In fact, his team secured a mere two wins in the first eight fights.
With that being said, his record was the least of his problems. It was Hughes' penchant for brutalising his fighters and his attempts to convert them to Christianity that truly turned viewers off.
3. Josh Koscheck

The sport's most enduring heel has long been among the best fighters at 170 pounds. Koscheck's ability inside the cage didn't quite transfer to the coaching side of the game, however.
It seemed as though the former NCAA champion wrestler was more concerned with winding up Georges St-Pierre, his competing coach, rather than getting the most out of his fighters.
By the end of the season, Koscheck was spending more time on his mobile phone than he was with his fighters.
Hard work pays off, indeed.
2. Ken Shamrock

Despite being a successful coach during MMA's early years, the sport had seemingly bypassed Ken Shamrock when he was booked to coach on the third season of TUF opposite Tito Ortiz.
While his foe's reputation grew with every passing episode, Shamrock's stock plummeted with every cringe-inducing coaching session.
Whether he was playing old videos of himself to his fighters, using a bodybuilder for cardio sessions or disregarding any sort of BJJ training, ol' Ken's training methods were the MMA equivalent of phrenology.
1. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

Let's make one thing clear: "Rampage" Jackson was a hoot whenever he appeared on TUF.
Whether he was coaching opposite Forrest Griffin or Rashad Evans, dull moments were few and far between. There is no doubt that "Rampage" made for great television.
It's just a shame that, by his own admission, he had no clue how to coach.
Indeed, if only he had half the coaching ability of his namesake over in Albuquerque, his fighters might have won more than a handful of fights over two whole seasons of TUF.

We love everything technology (old or new), are willing to wait in line to see the new Burton, Cameron, Jackson, Scott, or Spielberg flick on opening night (with no shame for smuggling in snacks from the grocery store) and love role-playing in whatever form it takes: pen and paper, live-action or online.
