NO spin, just the facts as my wife tells me when I tend to ramble, so NO I don't have a link but suggest watching the program as the people in Vermont are not looking out for the kids, which is the very essence of what WDW is all about.

Watch the Factor and you'll hear the truth and just the facts. It makes me cry and I'm sure MANY Vermonters too, but they have to DO something as it is their state and they have NOT. Just the facts The war on Christmas was NOT lies and was proven by EVERY poll taken. O'Reilly literally changed the merchandising by the great American retailers as they felt the pressure by the 20 million people who keep informed by watching Bill every night like I do. I also watch every other show and NOTHING comes close. Just the truth and I will say nothing else as I don't want to participate in any fights at the laughing place.

Frankly, I think the whole Christmas/holiday hubbub was just overblown and unnecessary.

Originally Posted By DDMAN26 Regarding the Christmas issue, if it offends someone to see a simple scene of two parents and their newborn child, then you've got real problems. Now let's get to the main issue. So O'Reilly wants me to boycott Vermont. Fine by me, I have no plans whatsoever to visit the state. Nothing really appeals to me there. As for a child rapist getting only two months. It's sad but not suprising, some people would prefer to have the rights of a child rapist protected rather than this little girl who will be scared for life. People like this guy absoultely sicken me.

Originally Posted By TomSawyer I'm not going to boycott Vermont, since it was only one judge and not the entire state who made the decision. Besides, why would I boycott Cabot cheddar and my Cook's Illustrated? I don't think I've had Vermont maple syrup in a long time since most comes from Canada these days, but if O'Reilly is demanding a boycott I might just go out of my way to find some from Vermont.
