His callers routinely greet him as a "great
American". And while I do not question his patriotism........You have to ask yourself if Hannity truly loves this country then why has he devoted his life to dividing it's citizens along political and cultural lines. And I guess one answer is that it's made him filthy rich.

Actually, you are questioning his patriotism and are correct to do so. When I hear Hannity and his flock calling each other great Americans, I always wonder, what, exactly, do they mean.

For me, real patriotism begins with the understanding that America is not defined by it's boarders, for that has changed over the decades. It's not defined by it's people or it's leaders, for they have changed over the decades. America is defined by a piece of paper.

Real patriotism is the promotion and defense of the principles and values expressed in the Constitution. Military officers and civilian officials take an oath to protect and uphold that piece of paper. They take no oath to the President, contrary to the assertion of that Bush administration crony when she ignorantly and un-patriotically stated such to Sen. Pat Lahey.

I share your observation that Hannity and Limbaugh seem to be more loyal to money than to the Constitution. If this were 1776, Hannity and Limbaugh would be arguing that we should remain the subjects of King George, with the promise of royal land grants, no doubt, waiting for them for saying so.

Hannity and Limbaugh employ jingoism to cloak their greed and hate - the last refuge of scoundrels, and all. Of far greater concern, however, is that Bush and Cheney clearly share Hannity's and Limbaugh's loyalties. By the standard I set above, all four of them are highly anti-American, which (as is often the case with Republicans) is the complete reverse of how they represent themselves.
