O'Reilly Factor Tackles Topic of Little Rock Charlie Brown Play Controversy

By: KARK 4 News

The fight over a Little Rock elementary school's arrangement with a local church's production of a children's Christmas play made its way on The O'Reilly Factor Thursday night.

Host Bill O'Reilly debated the topic with Fox News' Megyn Kelly. Both O'Reilly and Kelly shrugged off the idea that Arkansas atheists are against children attending the play.

The debate came to light when a parent whose daughter attends Terry Elementary school told the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers that she is concerned her child could be open to ridicule if she opts not to attend a stage production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" being held at Agape Church.

The letter sent home by first and second grade teachers at the school states children who wish to attend must pay $2 to cover the cost of using school buses to get to the show, which is being held on a school day.

The atheist group this steps over the line when it comes to the separation of church and state. The church says is is putting on a free event and has done similar such productions in the past for students without any issue or complaints raised.

The play is set to take the stage on Friday, December 14.

this is a letter i had initially addressed to bill o'reilly, in response to something he said, but i know that it can relate to rush limbaugh, sean hannity, glenn beck, feminists, gays, as well as masculine apologists and anyone else with gender-identity issues. commenting on a church's cancellation of some type of christmas play featuring charlie brown, bill o'reilly said these words: "secular progressivism wants to destroy the christian holiday". while i don't take issue with this statement at all, i must point out the ways in which bill o'reilly is "buying into" the progressive democrats' destruction of the ideals that have contributed to the strength and the success of america. maybe bill o'reilly is fighting the intolerant and anti-christian viewpoints of the left, but he is walking in lock-step with another weakness-promoting aspect of the left - and that is the subjugation of gender. by referring to members of the taller/wider/stronger gender as "guys," and by never failing to refer to members of the egg-bleeding/milk-spouting/lesser gender as "women," bill o'reilly is buying into the political correctness of the left which kowtows to a notion as ridiculous as "gender equality" (as well as the words "a woman can do anything a man can do"). now, as long as they're not competing against men, it may seem like women are just as capable as men...but the very existence of gender-based sports teams surely places an asterisk after the "anything a man can do" line. by referring to members of the apt gender as "guys"while referring to members of the menstruating gender as "women," bill o'reilly (as well as society in general) is subjugating men through the undue respect of females. referring to men as "guys" rather than "men" is as disrespectful as referring to females as "broads". in today's society, we have any egg-bleeding and milk-spouting specimen of motherhood being referred to as a "woman," but it seems that the only way anyone is going to refer to a man by using the word "man," is if the man has accomplished something that is worthy of respect. "he's not a MAN," says the angry ex-wife with much contempt for who she disrespects. "you're not a MAN," says the straight man, contemptuously to the masculivoid who looks at men with a crooked type of misunderstanding that beckons him to take a closer look at men. gay "men" and "strong" women - these masculine slights are the only ones who are given the letters M-E-N. this is compromise of masculine integrity, plain and simple, and it is contributing as much to the deconstruction of america as is the tolerance of muslims. aside from being ironic, it's kind of oxymoronic (if that is a word) for there to be a buzz-phrase like "strong women" or even "gay men". i say this because the "strong woman" lacks the physical makeup to be anything but "strong FOR A woman," just as the muscular "gay man" lacks the gender-identity/emotional makeup to be anything but the classic "kid in a candy store" when he's around half-naked men. "manly for a gay," "strong for a woman," this is how the integrity of men and masculinity is slighted. "manly for someone who hasn't internalized masculine gender-identity," "strong for someone who lacks the physical attributes of a masculine body," this is how the integrity of men and masculinity is slighted, because if a woman can be considered "strong" and if a gay guy can be considered "manly" then the very essence of manhood is compromised there is a reason for the "parking for pregnant women" signs, there is a reason for the gender-based sports teams, there is a reason that the coney island hot dog eating competition had to add a "womens' division". the reason is that females are somewhat disabled when compared to men, just as gay "men" are somewhat disabled and rendered dazed or confused when faced with real men. yet, the buzz-phrases "strong women" and "gay men" are commonplace, while the average man is not a man but only a dismissible "guy". so, the next time anyone suggests that people stand up to democrats and their hatred of religious holidays, they should be reminded that standing up to democrats' deconstruction of america means standing up to feminists' dismissal of men. let me be clear and say that i'm not in any way suggesting that every man should [censored] any feminist with a carving knife so that her [censored] bleeds more profusely than it does during her normal monthly egg-leak. i realize that womens' [censored]-receptacles are necessary tools for men to use just to further the very existence of the human race. i also am not suggesting that we stop basing physical competitions on gender, for i realize that gender-based sports teams are necessary to keep sports competitive. we must keep sports competitive, because with females fighting for equal representation where they don't belong...well, let me just ask this question: who'd want to see a 5 second boxing match between a strong woman and a broad-shouldered, thickly-built specimen of muscle who exercises with weights that are three times as heavy as the ones at curves fitness centers? as prince sung in a song from the 1989 film called "batman," i will answer my own question: "NO...BO..DY". dylan terreri, i www.femalebashing.com www.strongwomen.info www.jaggedlittledyl.com/essays
