I used to be a very avid supporter of him. I still share his fundamental beliefs about conservatism and patriotism. Like him, I am a conservative first and a Republican second.

However, I've stopped listening to his radio show. I've noticed that his comments toward liberal or other callers who disagree with him have become pretty scathing. Also, while important, the dialogue of his shows doesn't ALWAYS have to involve defending Rudy's and Mitt's record and citing ills against Hillary and Obama. Surely he could highlight more positives within the current conservative movement. Same goes with his TV show, H&C.

Please, give me polite but honest answers. It's not like I'm becoming a lib at all here, but Hannity is REALLY disappointing me more and more (as are Ingraham and Levin, but I still like Rush.)

As a side note, supposedly Hannity's wife has filed to divorce him. That's a shame.

(I know I've already asked this.)

What is Patriotism to you? Are you patriotic, and if yes then why? Furthur and most importantly... if you claim home of this attribute then what actions do you take at being patriotic?

What do you think of Hillary Clinton? I hate that she is pro abortion which is murder. I also think she will ruin the country by taking the troops out of iraq. Because iraq is still not stable and if we leave, one of saddams brothers or someone will take over their country and our country will be in danger of an attack. I might have to move to Canada if she becomes president. What is your opinion?

We had not invaded Iraq at all? Now: I'm not on board with the Anti-War Bandwagon. But: I'm just asking if taking Saddam out was really best for America. We know it was great for the Iraqi people! I mean this regime was a very cruel one to say the least! But, lets say we decided not to invade Iraq. Do you believe that Iran would be so brave right now? You know Iran is wanting an American defeat in Iraq! You know they would love nothing more than to at least influence the Regime in Iraq or possibly even take over the country itself! With Saddam in charge, it kinda balanced things out in that area of the world. I know Saddam was an evil man! But I think that America should focus on whats best for itself first! Ronald Reagan understood the importance of Iraq keeping the Iranians in check! I mean this is like a chess game! I'm wondering if the US really made the right move!

So John McCain says he doesn't wear one all the time either. Some of the other Republican candidates have been seen without them as well.
Is this really that important? Or is it simply another tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

This was a question asked of the democrats running for president. Their answer was that even if it meant the lives of thousands of Americans, they would not torture a terrorist for the information. They were worried about our "image" in foriegn Countries.

Introduction
Islam is a religion of mercy to all people, both Muslims and non-Muslims. The Prophet was described as being a mercy in the Quran due to the message he brought for humanity:

“And We have not sent you but as a mercy to all the worlds.” (Quran 21:107)

When a person analyzes the legislations of Islam with an open mind, the Mercy mentioned in this verse will definitely become apparent. One of the aspects constituting an epitome of this Mercy is the way the legislations of Islam deal with people of other faiths. The tolerant attitude of Islam towards non-Muslims, whether they be those residing in their own countries or within the Muslim lands, can be clearly seen through a study of history. This fact is not only purported by Muslims, but many non-Muslim historians also accept it. Patriarch Ghaytho wrote:

‘The Arabs, to whom the Lord has given control over the world, treat us as you know; they are not the enemies of Christians. Indeed, they praise our community, and treat our priests and saints with dignity, and offer aid to churches and monasteries.’[1]

Will Durant wrote:

‘At the time of the Umayyad caliphate, the people of the covenant, Christians, Zoroastrians, Jews, and Sabians, all enjoyed degree of tolerance that we do not find even today in Christian countries. They were free to practice the rituals of their religion and their churches and temples were preserved. They enjoyed autonomy in that they were subject to the religious laws of the scholars and judges.’[2]

These just relations between Muslims and people of other faiths were not due to mere politics played by Muslim rulers, but rather they were a direct result of the teachings of the religion of Islam, one which preaches that people of other religions be free to practice their own faith, only accepting the guidance offered by Islam by their own choice. God says in the Quran:

“There is no compulsion in religion…” (Quran 2:256)

Not only does Islam demand their freedom to practice religion, but also that they be treated justly as any other fellow human. Warning against any abuse of non-Muslims in an Islamic society, the Prophet stated:

“Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment.” (Abu Dawud)

How far is this mannerism than the majority of nations, to this day, which not only suppress the rights of foreign religions, but also foreign peoples and races! In a time when Muslims were being tortured to death in then pagan Mecca, Jews were being persecuted in Christian Europe, and various peoples were being subjugated due to their particular race or caste, Islam called to the just treatment of all peoples and religions, due to its merciful tenets which gave humanity the right to their humanness.

You can't deny it. Bush vetoed a Bill that would have greatly expanded the Child Health Care program, and yet he keeps funding bills to help foreign children who, for the most part, will be chanting " Death to America" in 20 years. I'm not saying we shouldn't help the Iraqis with funding, but why cut off help from our own people. Hs Bush forgotten which nation elected him into office? ( The second time, at least. The first time the cons on the Supreme Court put him in)

Do you think Koresh knew something on the government like plans for NWO? Was that why he was stockpiling weapons and refusing to answer the warrants.
