You want to be your own country? Go right ahead, And if al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it.

Go ahead." << Now I'm supposed to be taking my morality tips from o'reilly? He's as much an embarassment to the right as pat robertson. He's inviting terrorists to attack a major american city because they don't vote the way he likes. Nice. As if more proof were needed ... >> In September, a couple of weeks after Hurricane Katrina damaged the Gulf Coast, O'Reilly used the natural disaster to poke fun at one of his favorite targets, the United Nations. "Bush addressed the U.N., says he wants to be steadfast in battling terrorism," O'Reilly said on his radio show. "I'm sure all the U.N. people fell asleep. They don't really care about anything over there at all. I just wish Katrina had only hit the United Nations building, nothing else. Just flooded them out. And I wouldn't have rescued them." After United Nations Foundation President Timothy Wirth asked O'Reilly to apologize, the talk-show host replied with an on-the-air primer on the radio biz: "Well, apparently Tim Wirth has never listened to talk radio," O'Reilly said. "So I will speak very slowly to him. It was a jest, sir. We exaggerate on the radio. "Wise up." Efforts to reach O'Reilly through Fox News on Thursday were unsuccessful. <<

You know they would expect the military to be there to save their military hating butts when they are in trouble.
Originally Posted By gadzuux >> 'Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds << BTW - just for the record, CA pays more in federal taxes than it receives back in government services. If we "never took another nickel in federal funds" - but rather just kept what we send to them, we'd be better off.
