Two Wrongs In The Right Wing
It was a story that PG wanted to believe. The headline was that Sean Hannity’s “Freedom Concert“,spent way too much on expenses, and way too little on the charities.
There are many bad things you can say about Sean Hannity. He is loud, aggressive, and tough to listen to. His “conservative” politics go against much of what PG sees as truth. To hear that he is a crook, that his much vaunted “Freedom Concert” is a scam, would be just what a lot of people want to hear. It may yet turn out to be the truth…only trouble is, his accuser is about as obnoxious as the “Great American”.
PG had not heard of Debbie Schulussel before today. She describes herself as a conservative, and claims to be an attorney. A look at her site reveals her to be a fanatic follower of Israel, and hater of Islam. ( She refers to CNN as the Crescent News Network) In one piece, she blames Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton for sparking the third Intifada.
Whether or not the “Freedom Concert” is a legitimate charity may never be known. PG did learn a bit about Mr. Hannity, in what PG heard on the Hannity show.
The way to support the troops, and the wars they fight, has traditionally been by paying taxes. In World War II, paying taxes and buying war bonds were seen as a patriotic duty. And yet, in time of war, the one thing Mr. Hannity consistently shouts for is “making the Bush Tax cuts permanent”.
In the run up to the invasion of Babylon, congress cut taxes. To cut taxes when you are preparing for war is unprecedented, and shows a stunning lack of responsibility. The result was budget deficits of a half trillion dollars a year. ( To be “fair” about this, it must be admitted that the current regime in Washington has increased the deficits considerably.)
Getting back to “support the troops” Hannity, it seems apparent that he wants to have his war, and his circus, at the same time. You do not pay for a war by cutting taxes.
