Speaking of Neil Boortz....the libertarian....Spad only hates him because he loves his country and Spad hates The U.S. and is constantly looking for reasons to talk us down. Boortz is a patriot, a self made man, highly respected and pretty much can't be beaten either....as seen on DonoWHO..lost his show.

Hahaha! Oh man, you can possibly be as fucking stupid as you appear to be.
"Right side"? According to whom? Listen here, sizzlechest, the world is not black and white, no matter how much you would like it to be. Hannity is just another schmoe, and so is Boortz, and Rush, and Michael Moore, for that matter. They're all just guys with opinions, they're going to appear to their listeners to win every debate because (A) blind followers like you will believe they won no matter what, and (B) they don't engage in true debate (or in Rush's case, not at all). If they get on the ropes, they engage in character assassination to try and weasel their way out of a tight spot, and I know Hannity does that, because I've fucking heard him do it.
More importantly, I love my country. I, unlike you, Raygun, understand that dissenting does not make me un-American. But something you need to understand is that our history is cluttered with some very dark and sordid shit, much of it done in the name of "Freedom" and "Liberty," which are nothing more than empty words to stir emotion in sheep like you. Our government does not do things out of the goodness of its heart.
You need to face the fact that not everything they do is right, or done with good intentions. In fact, some of the shit our government has perpetrated is so morally reprehensible that it almost makes me, at times, ashamed to be an American.
But, as I said, I do love my country, because I know the people running the show do not represent America as a whole. You need to see both sides, Raygun. You have to take the good with the bad. The US gov't is not a bunch of knights on white horses like you seem to think they are. You also need to remember that dissent and questioning and raising hell against the actions of our government are some major factors in how this country came to be so great. The real dangers are guys like Boortz and Hannity and anyone who believes that the blame rests entirely on the shoulders of one or two groups (i.e. "It's all the fault of those liberals; they just want to ruin America," and other such horseshit).
You don't think, Raygun. You think what conservative figureheads tell you to think.
I talk badly about our leadership because I think they deserve it, and I think we deserve better. I want this country to be better than it is, and I think a key to that is getting the current group of monkeys out of office before they fuck things up beyond repair.
I saw a great bumper sticker not long ago- "I don't have to like Bush to love America." That sums it up nicely.
