>>>I'm going to take a guess you haven't studied the work of people like Stephen Hayes, A.B. Stoddard, and Catherine Herridge. They are periodic guests - and serious conservative intellectuals who don't resort to straw-man fallacies.

>Herridge- yep, she I can respect for a number of reasons. And lets not forget Bolling who this year broke the compact by advocating a form of single-funder healthcare despite towing the party line re the ACA. I can't remember who it was who commented that Europeans may have free healthcare but can't afford new clothes- it'll come to me. Well worth following that intellectual to see what he will say next.

If you're referring to Eric Bolling, I've always thought of him as a decent man but definitely a lightweight. I never referred to him as strong. Once again, a straw man fallacy.

That entire show ("The Five") is funny at times but really not that important. Other than the occasional commentary from Dana Perino, I've never found one piece of unique insight on the show.

The only host on Fox I like/respect is Greta Van Susteren. The other hosts are weak and damaging to their ideals, and O'Reilly is overrated.

Like I've said, I only have interest when the 3 people I mentioned above (plus Jennifer Griffin, Bernie Goldberg, Krauthammer, and Hume) come on the network.
