			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1993" src="http://dar2dream.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/flag-c.jpg?w=128" alt="flag-c" width="128" height="91" />If it&#8217;s not Hannity and Gingrich, it&#8217;s O&#8217;Reilly and Gingrich. If it&#8217;s not O&#8217;Reilly and Gingrich, it&#8217;s O&#8217;Reilly and Rove or Hannity and Rove.</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s not those combinations it&#8217;s Beck sitting behind a big desk looking Presidential while the screen behind him flashes movies of the 30&#8217;s Munich Rallies and parading Nazis.</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s not teary eyed Beck claiming &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid for our freedom,&#8221; it&#8217;s Limbaugh and his storm trooper approach to the world around him.</p>
<p>The far right is in love with the word &#8220;fascist&#8221; and all it&#8217;s trappings.</p>
<p>Recently, Hannity spewed forth his &#8220;fascist&#8221; rhetoric with Newt Gingrich. &#8220;My father fought in World War II&#8221; as tho that made Hannity the ultimate expert on fascists and it&#8217;s relevance to the fear of people losing their second amendment rights.</p>
<p>My Father also fought in WWII with the 8th Army Air Corp in Europe and I&#8217;ll even add that my Mom was an air traffic controller with the WRAF.</p>
<p>My relatives survived the &#8220;blitz&#8221; of Liverpool, and the other major cities of England by the &#8220;fascist&#8221;, which makes me probably more of an expert than Hannity on this subject.</p>
<p>How quickly Hannity; O&#8217;Reilly; Gingrich; Rove; Beck and Limbaugh forget the SS tactics of the last administration. The warrant less wire taps on plain American citizens, the prison camp style mentality and of course the Nazi like torture.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Reilly can proudly boast on Letterman that he&#8217;s a journalist and deals with news and when questioned how he differs from the rest he stated that he went to a prestigious college for journalism.</p>
<p>Well mister O&#8217;Reilly, Joseph Gobbels also went to a prestigious university, Heidelberg, before he was a journalist and I compare his propaganda with yours, just plain hateful.</p>
<p>In fact, Beck, O&#8217;Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh all fall in the mold of a fascist propaganda machine and they reveille in it. No wonder they spew forth their hate doctrine.</p>
<p>Oh by the way, the Nazis wouldn&#8217;t have let you air these views and the SS would have taken you far away from the &#8220;maddening crowd&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sheerprogress.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bible_peace.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-2207 alignleft" title="bible_peace" src="http://www.sheerprogress.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bible_peace.gif" alt="bible_peace" width="142" height="150" /></a>Red States.com states that President Obama shows weakness as a leader and our  national security is threatened.</p>
<p>Pat Buchanan was livid, as he spoke on  Hardball the other night, about the President sitting and listening to South  American leaders beret America at last weeks conference.</p>
<p>Hannity;  Limbaugh; O&#8217;Reilly and Beck went on and on about how degrading it was to see the  most powerful man and the most powerful nation in the world made to look so  bad.</p>
<p>Since the &#8220;far right&#8221; enjoys quoting scripture for their stand  against such things as &#8220;gay marriages,&#8221; let me take a page out of their play  book and quote scripture as seen in foreign policy, plus dealing with the  world.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Proverbs 16:18, Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty  spirit before stumbling.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Proverbs 11:2, When pride comes, then  comes dishonor, but with the humble is wisdom.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Jeremiah 49:16, As  for the terror of you, The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, O you who  live in the clefts of the rock, Who occupy the height of the hill. Though you  make your nest as high as an eagle&#8217;s, I will bring you down from  there.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Over the last eight years America has been good at being arrogant  and not listening or talking with those who have a contrary opinion and  philosophy.</p>
<p>Where has it got us?</p>
<p>Watching a President act like a  statesman was refreshing and comforting.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;James 4:6, But he gives all  the more grace. And so he says, God opposes the arrogant but gives grace to the  humble.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Matthew 23:12, Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and  whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>In the past, arrogance, pride  and our &#8220;love it or leave it attitude&#8221; has gotten us into wars plus being hated  throughout the world and even at home it has divided us as a people.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Matthew 5:9, How blessed are those who make peace, because it is they who will  be called God&#8217;s children.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Luke 6:35, But love your enemies, and do  good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and  you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil  men.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>To the &#8220;far right,&#8221; practice what you preach for your hypocrisy and  arrogance is showing.</p>
