(Video) Unfair and Unbalanced: Hannity, Gingrich and North vs Colmes
Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich and Oliver North spent three minutes bashing Clinton and Obama for voting against the war funding bill, while giving less than one minute to Alan Colmes in the Fox studio.
Props to for putting this video up.
The fact that Oliver North is not only not in jail, but is considered a recognized spokesperson for some element in this country, is mind-boggeling - and ultimately a depressing heads-up!
I have to think we just have to snap out of it, and smell the coffee. There is a constituency for authoritarianism in this country.
People who really WANT a dictatorship: They want to feel safe - to be told they are; they want to follow rules, rather than to have to sort it out for themselves; they want to believe their lives are under control, and that someone is looking after them. "Eveything's fine, kids, just go back to sleep"
I watched, and read, and worked in the Iran-Contra era. I know who and what this tin-horn little despot stands for - the concept of truth, and honesty, and participatory govenment - by, or for, the people - is totally absent.

youre right granny. There is a relatively large part of the population that would be quite happy to not have to be bothered with the political process. All they want is their gas, their TV, and their assurance of their own security. And whatever happens outside their bubble is irrelevant so long as it doesnt prevent the aforementioned items.
