Sean Hannity Is Not A Conservative!

Sean Hannity Is Right On Some Things..... But Not Everything

As you may know Sean Hannity is a conservative TV host on the Fox News Network and also the second largest radio host in America.

Well, as a conservative, and not a neo-conservative, I feel the need to call out Sean Hannity.

I am a huge critic of the Obama White House, there is no disputing this, just look around the site. Sean Hannity is also a large critic of the Obama White House, there is no disputing this either, just watch his show or listen to it on the radio.

Its not like by me taking shots at Sean Hannity is going to make any impact nor am I trying to make a name for myself by doing so either, but I do feel like there is a certain discrepancy that needs to be brought to the light about what real conservatism is and Sean Hannity the “neo-conservative”.

Neo-conservatism is a mix of social conservative principals (no government promotion of gay marriage, illegal immigration, pro-life ideals etc…) and a nice blend of progressive politics (using the government as a means to correct “errors” in social society or push an agenda).

Sean Hannity is a quintessential neo-conservative, which there is nothing wrong, but should not be confused with authentic conservatism.

Here is a good video explaining what I am talking about:

Sean Hannity spends a lot of his time defending the nation building in Iraq, and to some degree the mission in Afghanistan. He seems to be ok with the notion of war with Iran. Believes that Roe v. Wade should be over turned (the government should have no say in the matter). That the public school system should be eventually gotten rid of because it takes away from free market principals (which I to some degree, agree with him on, but competing school districts promote “competition” something he uses as a basis for his argument).

I have no “beef” with Sean Hannity, but I am tired of hearing him say that he is a conservative when he is actually a neo-conservative.

Stay Strong!
