A Bit of Politics

I got into a discussion on Facebook about Hannity. Most of my friends like him. I can't stand him. Here's some of what I said:

It's more than not liking his persona. There are so many words that I can use to describe him and one is redundant. And yes, he's rude, talks over people, but more than that I just don't see any depth to him. I feel like he is all fake and just spinning, spewing.

And I just don't like many of his views/ politics. Of course, I don't agree with all of Obama's either.

Susannah, I am glad you stopped listening to Rush (because of the way he talks about the poor!) I wish that you would get annoyed by Hannity's way of calling everyone who agrees with him a good American and all those who disagree are dubbed unpatriotic.

I have expressed to you how I hate politics. There isn't any politician that I agree enough with to say that I really like anyone right now. But I do know the people that I DON'T like. I searched the web to try to find others who shared my thoughts about Hannity because I stopped listening to him long ago and couldn't really think of the exact things that he has said that I disagree with or specific instances.

The following viewpoint is one that expresses some of the conclusions I have about Hannity:

I found the following article that I pretty well agree with (I even agree with the point about Gingrich):

I think I would like to try listening to Michael Medved and see how much I can agree with him.


It amazes me that I disagree strongly with my dearest friends. I wonder how this can be? I am also stumped by couples like Shriver and Shwartzeneger or Carville and Matalin. How can they manage? I mean how you can love someone and not love their politics/values/beliefs? I REALLY don't like most republican politicians. Yet, I don't completely agree with Dems, maybe I just seem to agree with them more? Maybe I should actually tally which side I agree with the most? Maybe I disagree with both equally?

It's interesting to me that if you take Fox and CNN I wouldn't say that I completely agree with either, but I definitely feel more comfortable with CNN.

I read an article about a Dem. woman who started dating a Rep. man. I thought this was funny: "What's preferable—someone who is a complete ass or someone who votes for a complete ass?"

I took this quiz http://politicalquiz.net/ It said I am a social moderate, moderate capatilist, and a pacifist.

I like this explanation of a moderate:

And this is really good too (I like #2 most):
