I have no shame in my beliefs.
Ha ha! I don't have any shame in my beliefs either, and really it would not have been a problem. But I had that momentary FLASH of seeing the look on my brother-in-law's face if he came into the room and saw a three-foot-tall image of Bill O'Reilly's face frozen there on the TV. *I* don't like O'Reilly that much and would have felt the need to explain why I was watching a show I don't even like that much, sort of the same embarrassment I would have if someone saw me watching "Dancing with the Stars." It would have been fine, but I would have probably had to put up with being ribbed about it at family barbeques for the rest of my life. If you knew the family dynamic, you'd see the humor in the situation.
