This is why the GOP keeps losing elections, and why minorities would rather remain slaves to the Democratic Party rather than support conservatives. Illinois Republican Party chairman, Jim Allen, recently sent a controversial e-mail to a blogger in an effort to target Erika Harold, a former Miss America who is now running for Congress as a Republican.

Are teachers being pushed to the edge? That is what the O’Reilly Factor asked tonight. Bill O’Reilly has been following what appears to be a growth in teacher-student violence. Bill O’Reilly showed shocking video – this particular one he has yet to share – of a male teacher in St. Louis slamming a chair down and pushing a 16-year-old girl. That teacher, 36-year-old Peter Sheppard, has been charged with a misdemeanor. No word on whether the student has been charged.

But is that really the heart of the issue? I often find that O’Reilly takes the easy way out. Watch the videos below, and afterwards, we will explore some other explanations. Believe that this is just the beginning with this site publishing these stories.

Opinion, Politics, Polls

In a recent survey, Gallup found that Americans still rate the Republican Party – 39% – less favorably than the Democratic Party – 46%. However, both parties’ favorability ratings are down from November 2012, just after the presidential election. The Democrats’ favorability rating dropped more, down from 51%, which was a post-election bump just after President Barack Obama won re-election. Even though Americans’ ratings of the Democratic Party clearly show that bump is over, their views of the GOP are the lowest since May of 2010.

UPDATE: The markets are selling off as traders fret that a rosier Fed economic outlook may push the central bank to trim back its bond buying sooner than expected.
