We all watched H&C tonight. My favorite watch is, and always will be, a Rolex. I think, when Hannity gave Colmes that watch, it speaks to how much Hannity thinks of Alan Colmes.
We are at a real crossroads right now, the times can be both challenging, even frightening, but these times also seem to directly channel our nation into each day. And I feel like I am living by the hour and certainly we live in a 24 by 7 news cycle today, with technology bringing us our history real time right before our eyes. For me, FOX News Cable has been a direct part of my life for more than a decade and a part of the 24 by 7 news cycle that the majority of us now live and watch and breath.
Watching Hannity and Colmes on cable television has been so rewarding, so informative, and over the years I have come to appreciate the insightful commentary and coverage provided by Alan Colmes. For me, I cannot imagine Hannity without Colmes, and though I am a Republican it does not change the fact that there have been so many time I have been grateful to Alan Colmes in keeping me educated with a perspective that I have come to appreciate so much. It would seem, and it strikes me now as so strange, the glass is only half full if he leaves the team of H&C.
I do not understand exactly the purpose, or what plans FOX has, for the new programming -- but I have to say that I hope Alan Colmes continues on in the news and commentary business because he has become a hallmark of Americana political news talk, and certainly when I think of FOX, and I think of Hannity, I always think of Colmes. I see his face and hear his voice. He is part of my life.
I listen as well to Sirius satellite radio, and listen in when I can to Colmes on his FOX talk broadcast.
I think of the crossroads, I am standing right there, and I see not political crossroads, Republican or Democrat, but something much larger and serious that goes beyond party politics. Frankly, it would be better in my personal opinion if only the team of H&C could continue on. We need Hannity and we need Colmes at this time.
Technology has brought them across our fifty states and into our homes, and while I thank technology so much for what it has given me and my family, at this time, at this crossroads sometimes I ask myself if technology itself is threatening. Not the information age, which is welcome, but a sense that perhaps now technology itself is taking on its own form, away from us, perhaps even exceeding our understanding of how to use it and even falling to the hands of narrow minded fanatics as exampled in the Islamic extremists and religious extremists of all kinds. Where they take technology to brainwash their own children, where they take technology and compact big bombs into ever smaller cases and go out to kill the innocent.
H&C has let me be an observer. I see things happen right before my eyes. When Hannity and Colmes bring their commentary on the events as they report the news and share insightful guests, I have a sense of gratitude and excitement. While other news commentators and news agencies simply let us only be observers, there is a reason why Hannity and Colmes are such a success and that is because they bring us to action, to take part in the political process, we advance in our understanding and then participate we certainly feel their energy.
Thats a new level of awareness for most of us. When politicians use slogans such as Change We Can Believe In, with H&C we are part of a conscious evolution as the world unfolds around us, we are beginning to really get plugged in and even can make a difference. I dont know about you, but I have learned so much from H&C, and time becomes immediate, I am living in and for today. It is like being in a race.
I want to thank Alan Colmes so much, and want to say that today, more than ever, he needs to be there. I hope it will be so. It isnt just wishing good luck, it is asking one to stay home with the family.
I gave up on Colmes having a brain of his own when he defended that dictator from Venezuela.
yuck. this is a joke right? satire maybe?
I would have gave him a bottle of Aqua Velva.
Thanks to Alan Colmes we now know that down syndrome babies are caused by air travel.
I’m really going to miss the way he used to giggle like a little girl, when he got caught lying.
yeah . . really going to miss that . .
Why splurge that much? How about a knock-off bottle of Mennen skin bracer, isn't that good enough?
