Mr. Hannity: "The primary evil we face today is terrorism." (p. 3)

My response: With the traumatic images of September 11 burned into our consciousness, it can be tempting to look on international "Islamic" terrorism as the greatest evil inflicted by human beings upon our civilization. However, this view is erroneous, pathetically myopic, unconsciously self-pitying, encourages unlawful revenge, and is hypocritical.

Mr. Hannity: We cannot excuse terrorists as "...men driven to their bad acts by the injustices of Western society". (p. 3)

My response: As a Catholic, I agree that there is no excuse for deliberate evil. If a person commits a bad act with full knowledge of what he is doing and full consent of the will, he is guilty of mortal sin, as the Catholic Church teaches and as I presume Hannity believes. Ultimately, that person can only blame himself for committing the act.

If you can't trust the Congress, who can you trust.  These are the folks who make our laws, and yet they have such a hard time controlling themselves when the opportunity arises to break those very laws.  They can write laws but not rules and guidelines for themselves.  You do realize that I am refering to the Republicans and their Culture of Corruption.  

It predictably began within 20 minutes of the conclusion of Patrick Fitzgerald's Friday press conference. All over the blogosphere, the cry went up: Fitzgerald for president!

Every time Joe Wilson issues a public statement or gives an interview, we encounter it: Wilson for president!

Periodically, usually after a particularly deft skewering of GOP hypocrisy on The Daily Show, there is a clamor: Stewart for president!

I present readers with my resounding response: NO. An emphatic and capitalized NO!, in fact.
