First of all let's be honest: what Bill O"Reilly was saying is that the so-called ``minorities`` have different political views than the ``white stablishment`` ( whatever that means). So, acording to his logic, a changing demographic would be a tail wind for Mr Obama's reelection.That assumption is wrong on many levels:
1) The altruistic white male.
So acording to O"Reilly, the ``old America`` made of the ``white stablishment`` had a diferent view of government.One of limited action.One of restraint.That view is just wrong.If we look as a simple table of expenditures to GDP ( i'm too lazy to put it here but it can be easily found on the web) we can see the the US governement has been growing non-stop for a century.Why to put the blame on a ``changing country`` ? Besides, it seems funny and naive to think of the ``stablishment`` as made of people that do not want their social security checks to clear, their Medicare or Medicaid funds beeing delivered, etc.The only people that ``want stuff``, of course, are minorities.
2) Minorities vote Obama and ``want stuff`` Jews vote Obama because ..?
As we all know, Obama led among single woman, latinos, jews, yong people, etc.I would like Mr O "Reilly , being a sstrong Israel suporter, tell me why minorities vote Obama because they ``want stuff`` and jews vote Obama because other altruistic reasons not having to do with wanting stuff?
3) Fox News
Being a libertarian, i have different views than Mr O Reilly.I believe in freedom not only in economic terms but also in personal terms.In fact, were i american, i would have cast my vote for Mr Gary Johnson of the libertarian party ( not having Ron Paul as an option).Then, i would like he to tell me why does he and the Fox news ``stablishment`` believe in less freedom and want ``more stuff ( restricting the right of gays to marry in this case) than i do?
Hope to hear from him.
