Politics: O'Reilly idiocy watch

Courtesy of Oliver Willis.

Wild Bill mixes politics with Olympics, and makes a full of himself:

In other countries, the emphasis on self-reliance has been beaten down by nanny states and entitlement cultures. Just take a look at Australia and Canada, for example. The Aussies have 20 million people to draw from. Canada has 30 million. Yet the Aussies have 35 Olympic medals, Canada just five.
"Talking Points" believes this is reflective of the systems in those countries. Australia is a place where self-reliance is emphasized and competition is celebrated. Canada has become increasingly socialistic, as big government programs ensure everyone is marginally taken care of. I may be wrong here, but I see the entitlement culture as a force against self-discipline and motivation.

Willis makes the following observations:

2002 Winter Olympics:

Canada 17 medals

Australia 2

All Time Winter Olympics:

Canada: 96 medals

Australia: 4 medals

So, what can we conclude?
1. CANADA IS BETTER AT WINTER SPORTS THAN SUMMER SPORTS, WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THEIR COUNTRY IS FREAKING COLD.
2. Bill O'Reilly is an idiot.
