I just saw a touching montage on Fox's Hannity & Colmes.

[bleever]

It was soldiers on location in Iraq and Afghanistan, getting a chance to stand in front of the camera, and wish Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to their families at home.

All of them appeared to be somewhere between 18 and 30. Some addressed their families: spouses, kids, and some who had newborn babies. Some addressed their buddies back at home. Some gave a shout out to their favorite sports teams.


I was touched. Young, earnest, hardworking people of diverse backgrounds and races, investing in the American dream via the military. I felt a friendship and gratitude and empathy for each and every one.


Then Sean Hannity came on, with that squinty smile stretched up one side of his face, saying "Thank god for these heroes protecting our rights and liberties."


I jumped up and pointed at his face and cried, "Liar! Bastard! Traitor!" over and over, shuffling the order according to the passion of the nanosecond.


Because here's the truth: the sacrifice of those soldiers is real. The story that it's to protect us is a lie.


It's as simple as that.


I report, you decide.
