Keep it up, Glenn!
You had me hook, line and sinker until the end. Well played, sir.
She recently got engaged on the Mall in D.C. So I would imagine she’s busy doing all those girly pre-marriage things right now.
:-)
Like another era, aren’t those days? I was calling my cable company to get FOX with no result. Had dial-up and 32 megs of RAM with which I could get FOX on line but the video stalled every few seconds. Then FOX pulled its video feed and nothing for months. Not a cable company in the country now that doesn’t carry it, is there?
As long as it isn't one that Clinton fouled.
Any chance he'll get another liberal amigo to hang with him, or will they all get hissed to death for helping Hannity argue more effectively about these issues?
I remember how liberals used to complain about Colmes -- that he was too nice, etc. (they wanted him to snarl and sneer like Rosie O'Donnell, I suppose).
Actually, there's a pretty good essay to be written about why this statement is wrong. I don't have time for it, though.
Basically, "liberals" like Hubert Humphrey and Adlai Stevenson and Walter Mondale are nearly extinct, displaced by "progressives" whose line goes back to the Red CPUSA members and Stalinist-front activist traitors of the 30's who eventually seized control of the Democratic Party in 1972 and, with few interruptions, have run it ever since.
Think of a Democrat who did *not* have flaming-radical connections after 1972, and I'll show you a Democrat who fell by the wayside in the primary process. Almost *all* the more-successful Dem candidates in the primaries have been "progressives".
Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council? Clinton may have been a Chinese PLA asset since his 20's. He covered up for Wen Ho Lee (using Bill Richardson as his man on point) and demonized the honest spyhunter Notra Trulock. This he did, and much, much else. Clinton, the old SDS New Leftist, a "moderate"? Don't make me laugh.
Having eclipsed the real "liberals" now these last 20 years, though, "progressives" are beginning to dust off the name "liberal" and, in another of their patented Huge Lies, apply it to themselves. They are Stalinists, not liberals. Which is why they want the liberal label, for cover.
Liberals will take any chance they can to go against Hannity...Fox figured nobody paid attention to what Colmes was saying anyway so they tested to see what Hannity does on his own.
I predict he winds up with a co-host sometime in a year or so to shake things up. His panel is a good idea after you sit through Beck and O’Reilly his show becomes a recap. O’Reilly is the one that should be moved to 9 PM and Beck to 8 with Hannity at 10 and Greta at 5.
Time for a full court press! I’ve said all along that Obama is a leftist, racist COWARD, and today it was proven!
Hey Jay, get a grip. Obama’s reaction to the Commie Harvard professor’s outrageous behavior was RACIST — pure and simple. If you can’t see that you have your eyes closed.
The problem with that is that there is nothing "progressive" about the policies they advocate. The fact is their ideology is old, outdated, and has been tried and failed everywhere--even in America!
The following essay, reprinted with permission, illustrates that point.
The Miracle of America
from
axes and hoes to high technology;
log cabins to air-conditioned condos;
horsedrawn wagons to autos, planes, and rockets;
scarcity to abundance; &
from tyrannical government rule to individual liberty
HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?
Most of our history books don’t tell us that, in the beginning, the pilgrims established a communal economic system. Each was to produce according to his ability and contribute his production to a common storehouse from which each was to draw according to his need.
The assurance that they would be fed from the common store, regardless of their contribution to it, had a peculiarly disabling effect on the colonists. Taking property away from some and giving it to others bred discontent and retarded employment. Human nature was the same then as now, and before long, there were more consumers than there were producers, and the pilgrims were near starvation. Governor Bradford, his advisors, and the colonists agreed that in order to increase their crops, each family would be allowed to do as it pleased with whatever it produced. In other words, a free market system was established. In Governor Bradford’s own words:
“This had very good success; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corne was planted than other waise would have bene by any means ye Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deall of trouble, and gave farr better contente. The women now wente willingly into ye field, and tooke their little-ons with them to set corne, which before would aledg weaknes, and inabilitie; whom to have compelled would have bene though great tiranie and oppression. . . . By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed. . . . and some of ye abler sort and more industrious had to spare, and sell to others, so as any generall wante or famine hath not been amongst them since this day . . . .” (Wm. Bradford, “Of Plimoth Plantation,” original manuscript, Wright & Potter, Boston, 1901)
Those who, today, favor central government planning, common ownership and redistribution of the earnings of others are advocating a system that Americans tried and rejected over 350 years ago. Their wisdom gave birth to the great American miracle!
Are we as wise today?
You Can Do Something About This!

Yes, Hannity has done lots of great work. When he or Glenn or any of the other good Fox folk have “progressives” on as “foils” to provide “balance,” these useless guests often waste perfectly good Fox broadcast time. *They* are the people I only want to hear *about*, not *from*. As another sad fact, Kirsten Powers, Juan Williams, and others too often do the same filibustering as the admitted progressives.
