Just fired this off to Hannity

not that it matters:

Sean,

I can't call your radio show on my drive home because the cell network I'm on (AT&T) won't let me dial 1-800 numbers. And while I could argue with you endlessly about a hundred things that we'd never come to an ounce of agreement on (regardless of our common Irish Catholic backgrounds) the one thing I heard on your show that I really need to ask about came up yesterday. It is the Bush administration's cutting of social programs while boosting military and defense funding. You said "we need this". My question to you is this, when is it enough Sean? We already spend more on defense than the whole rest of the world combined. The GOP has put the dems in a place of not being able to even suggest stabilizing defense funding or else they are called "weak on defense" mostly by you and your sort. How much is enough Sean? Will you not be happy until defense is the government's only expenditure and it accounts for the entire budget yet, still, ballons out of proportion every year? Will it be when we have military bases in every country? The ability to kill individual people from space? When do you ever think we could possibly say "how about instead of a missile shield we help some poor kids get health care"? And, most importantly, how do you think your Christ feels about your answers?

Thanks,

Mark

2. Good post

I know it seems like a drop in the bucket, but someday, somehow it's just possible that all those drops could turn into an interesting flood.

4. It will never be enough.

Until we control every country and have a boot on the neck of evey non-white person on earth. It's called fascism. Screw the people. Build only bombs, preemptively attack anyone who you can. Lead through fear. No law, only the law of the powerful.

Hannity is a right wing fascist. He doesn't care about anything other than consolidating power for himself.

5. Assertive, without being too pissy

You didn't call him a knucklehead. I appreciate your patience.

6. Good to get it off your chest

We know these people like Sean and Rush are twisted and speak for so many. But your mail to him spoke for me, too. His and anyone else's Christ would be sick to the stomach over the sight of their greed. Thanks for posting what you sent. Did my old heart a lot of good today. I often worry in isolation about 'how bad can it get' and then a note like yours calms me down.

7. Yee-hah!

Presto! I certainly hope that Hannity reads that one personally, cause it'll inflame his 'roids for sure.

9. "We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security."

Who said that?

Eisenhower.

10. Ive wondered if they screen emails

Im pretty sure they do with the thousands they recieve. Hannity is the type that would tell his secretary to screen out any opposing veiwpoints.

Good letter btw

12. Good letter, but I don't think he can be reasoned with...

Your letter made some good points, but I think you are making a mistake by assuming he can be reasoned with. Instead of engaging in honest debate, his job is to simply push right wing talking points.
