Last night, if you didn’t see it, Sean Hannity had a televised one-on-one with self-proclaimed anarchist Harrison Schultz.The interview was riveting television, and Fox wound up bleeping ….Hannity.
But well beside the theatrical aspects, what Hannity vividly illustrated here was just how confused, intellectually shallow and decidedly greedy leftists really are. Everything is to be “free” and they have a decided chip on their shoulder if it isn’t. Why? Well…just….because. Having a job is unfair. Taking responsibility is unfair. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The Schultz interview recalled another highly instructive Hannity interview, this one with the Islamic cleric Anjem Choudary, a decided Al Qaeda and Sharia supporter operating out of London. (!!)
If you want a quick, pointed and decidedly educational video lesson in the two biggest problems facing not only America but the West, these two Hannity interviews are a superb summation of what we face domestically and in foreign policy/national security. They tell you in short form everything you need to know about why countries like Greece are falling apart and why there are bombs going off in Afghanistan within hours of a presidential visit.
And yes, the first step out of this nightmare and bringing Morning to America ‘in 2012 boils down to:
Romney v. Obama.
Anyone who struggles with that choice is more confused than Harrison Schultz.
Or, one way or another, they are on his side.

For your information, anarchists are not all "leftists." There is left anarchism, right anarchism (anarcho-capitalism), and green anarchism. Much easier for you to call everyone you don't like or agree with a leftist. The Cold War is over, pal. Get a new job.

'......Newsmax....Author Geert Wilders: No Difference Between Islam, Radical Islam
Friday, May 4, 2012 05:29 PM
By: Henry J. Reske and Kathleen Walter
Controversial Dutch politician and author Geert Wilders is speaking out against Islam, but unlike most Westerners he does not draw a distinction between Islam and radical Islam, but claims that they are the same.Wilders is a member of the Dutch parliament and founder of the Party for Freedom. He said outspokenness about Islam has taken a toll on his life. He has been threatened with death, been taken court, and been banned from other European countries.“Anybody who dares to speak out against this ideology called Islam will pay a heavy price,” he in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV. “I lived with my wife for six months in a prison cell for security reasons. We didn’t commit any crime. We lived in army barracks and safe houses. I always say if I spoke up, which I’m not planning to do, but just for argument’s sake, if I spoke out against Christianity, all those things would not have happened. We use the pen and, unfortunately, they use the ax.”.....Wilders is a controversial critic of Islam, campaigning against what he sees as the "Islamisation of the Netherlands." He has compared the Quran to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and has called for the book to be banned. He also advocates ending immigration from Muslim countries.Wilders was banned from entering Britain for nine months in 2009; the ban was overturned in October 2009 after he appealed. In June 2011, he was acquitted of hate charges.The author of “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me” said that Islam, “at the end of the day, will cost us our freedom, our freedom of speech.”“I acknowledge the fact that the majority of the Muslims are law-abiding people,” he noted. “It would be ridiculous to even suggest that the majority of the Muslims are terrorists. They are not. There is only one Islam; this is the Islam of the holy book the Quran and the Islam of the prophet Mohammed. It’s not so much a religion, it’s an ideology.“It’s an ideology that should be compared not with Christianity or Judaism, but with communism or with fascism. Let me give you one example: If you want to leave Islam ... the penalty for that is death. You have to be killed. This is not the case with Christianity or with Judaism. But it was the case in Nazi Germany or with Communist Russia. You have to see Islam for what it is because if we don’t, we will lose our free, Christian-based society.”Wilders said that Islam has spread throughout Europe and led to honor killings, genital mutilation, and Sharia courts, aided by the “disease called cultural relativism.” He said that all cultures are not equal.“In my book, I tell the American public, Europe is in very, very bad shape today and please don’t think that what’s happening to Europe today will not happen to America tomorrow,” he said. “It will happen to America tomorrow unless you fight for freedom, you fight for your own identity and you cut back on the Islamization of our society.”One key bulwark in the fight against Islam is Israel.“I know that we should all support the state of Israel,” Wilders said. “Israel is fighting our fight. Israel is exactly on the border of Jihad and reason and Israel is a beacon of light, a canary in a coal mine, so to say, in an area of darkness and tyranny. I believe that parents in America and Europe can sleep easily at night because Israeli parents lay awake at night worrying about their children defending our borders. The border of Jihad is our border.“We share the same cultural values as Israel does. If Jerusalem falls, Athens will fall, Amsterdam will fall, and America will fall as well. They are fighting our fight. We should do anything possible to support the state of Israel. Certainly against this barbaric regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”............'
'....Breitbart.com.... Two Egyptian Presidential Candidates Endorsed ..... by William Bigelow 1 day ago ...Two Egyptian presidential candidates support jihad against the U.S.Two Egyptian presidential candidates have endorsed jihad against the United States and one of them even supports al Qaeda. MEMRI TV (the Middle East Media Research Institute) has released archival footage of Al-Mun’im Abu Al-Futouh and Hamadein Sabahi from 2004 and 2005 which show them stating their hatred of the United States in absolutely unequivocal terms. Abd Al-Mun’im Abu Al-Futouh, who is calling himself a “Moderate” Islamist, was a leader in the Muslim Brotherhood. He co-founded the Al-Nahda party, which sees Islam as central to Egypt. Supported by Salafi Islamists, Gama’a Islamiyya, the Islamist group Wasat, and Google executive Wael Ghonim, he said in 2004:
“Like all members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and around the world, I personally hope to have a chance to bear arms to confront the U.S. occupation in Iraq… This is a matter of religion, not of politics. When a Muslim land is occupied, jihad becomes an individual duty”Al-Futouh is currently polling second in the presidential race. Hamadein Sabahi, a former journalist, helped found the Al-Karama party, and was elected to parliament in the 2000 and 2005 elections. He stated in 2005: “When a weapon is pointed at the Americans, it is good. Any weapon that kills an American is good. Any gun pointed at the Marines is good. Any kidnapping or slaughtering of an American in Iraq is good . . . One must salute this organization [Al-Qaeda] when it kills any American soldiers – a soldier, not a civilian. The presence of Al-Qaeda in Iraq as part of the resistance is a positive phenomenon that should be supported. I support Al-Qaeda when it kills Americans.” This is the face of the Arab Spring. And this is the face of the “legitimate” Islamism that the Obama State Department wants to embrace.......'

" Gingrich: Conservatives Won't Let Wall St. And Romney "Buy Election"
"Look, the conservative movement is not going to sit by and let a Massachusetts liberal, who's pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-tax increase, pro-gay rights, whose Romneycare in two articles in the last 24 hours were described as the equivalent of Obamacare and who George Soros says is just fine. He'd be happy with either Obama or Romney [be]cause they are both the establishment -- that's just George Soros," Newt Gingrich told FOX News' Bret Baier on the campaign trail in Tampa, Florida.
"Now, the conservative movement isn't going to sit back and say 'Oh yes, let's let Wall Street, and Goldman Sachs and Mitt Romney buy the election. So you're going to see a real grass roots fight. It will be people power vs. Goldman Sachs and Mitt Romney," he added."

Anarchists of any kind are not conservatives. It's akin to being a God fearing atheist.
Ken| 5.4.12 @ 5:15PM
The choice between Obama and Romney reminds me of the discussions I had as a kid with a good friend, the son of a Baptist preacher. We'd discuss various forced choices: "If you had to drink one of these, which would you choose-- a glass of germ infested swamp water or a shot of whiskey." Even as good teetotalling Baptists we were forced to pick the whiskey for reasons of shear survival. So it is today with Romney as the whiskey (odd to compare a Mormon with a shot of whiskey I realize). I'll chose Romney, but even though I don't drink I'll have to swallow a shot of whiskey before voting for him.
Simon templar| 5.4.12 @ 6:05PM
There is something I would like to point out for those that have ears.
First, these whiners, remember, are most often than not, from the upper middle classes and white collar liberal middle class. Very few,if you notice, are the actual working class stiffs and their kids that make up that actual 99 percent. If you have ever attended a university and actually seen these useful idiots, it would become immediately apparent. Their entitlement, arrogance, and spoiled attitudes are easily recognized after a few moments with them. This is American liberal of today and the product of 45 years of post sixties liberalism. Do not be fooled about the rhetoric about the poor and the working class struggles none of them have a clue what that is and do not actually give a rats ass about the poor and working class.This is the last thing on their mind when they meet on college campuses and within their social and political groups. I know from EXPERIENCE.
As conservatives, many of you have bought this bullshit and propaganda that the Left intelligentsia spouts about itself. Many years ago Milton Friedman studied poverty in the inner cities and came across some very interesting truly government independent self help programs that were actually working within the black community whereby sweat equity and community self investment and cooperation were the fundamental values.The liberals gave these programs a lot of heat or took no interest in them at all. They have no ideas but government dole and dependency and they are not interested beyond that point.
What these brats want is a government job, a non profit agency job, or a teaching job. This is where most of them eventually end up except for a few who wise up and get some real training and join the corporate profit making sector.They expect a job of their liking because unlike their working class friend they went to an institution of higher learning! Ever watched and listened closely to these professors? They have to be the most pompous class prejudiced jackasses walking the face of the earth.
This is what makes the liberal progressive today different from the liberal democrat before the great sixties "awakening." The old guard actually knew hard times and hard work, these pansies know nothing.They are only interested in cultural revolution and big government that affords them a spot in the intelligentsia elite and a comfortable hip spot in one of their upscale environmentally friendly new burbs.They do not give shit about the little guy driving that truck to feed his family and on the road for 6 days of the week.

Romneycare v. Obamacare.
Anyone who struggles with that choice is more confused than the neocon big govt. author of this column.

Tom Poole| 5.6.12 @ 12:00PM
I watched the interview and have to give Hannity great credit, how he kept from getting up and using that supercilious idiot for a tentpeg astounds me.
What frightens me is we have a whole generation like this. That turkey said he was 29, when my son was 29 he was a journeyman welder, had learned the electroplating business and was well on his way.
Of course, he and his sisters grew up under my rules, '18 and out, unless in college'.
