Hannity is a freaking liar.
Maybe Hannity *does* consider them to be liberal ...
Ah. Then he's not a liar. He's an idiot.
Or hannity is so far off the scale he must come from another

Yet he has 15+ million listeners three hours a day every day.
Out of a population of 300 million.
Interesting.
Let's consider the obvious ---
SETTING THE STAGE --
(1) The lemmings of the RRR Cult... people espousing and/or
spewing the sort of hate-conservatism that Hannity does,
comprise most of Hannity's regular listeners Anyone NOT
such a cultist would be made sick to retching by a steady
diet of that swill.
(2) RRR cult lemmings PROVE their abject ignorance by sub-
scribing to, and supporting, its agendas which are dedicated
to the destruction of many harmless personal liberties and
clear-cut Constitutional rights. Liberties the exercise of
which almost always are accessed privately, and thus are
absolutely NONE of the business of the socially-retarded
dolts who oppose them.
(3) In more than 40 years of activism in behalf of human and
civil rights, I have *never* seen **any** actual FACTS that
support the core agendas of bigotry that are being driven
by the RRR cult's leaders, and supported by those who
are ignorant enough to be their lemmings.
(a) E.g. -- Abortion is nothing more than a harmless, and
hugely-beneficial REMEDY for an unwanted medical
condition. The entities that it adversely affects are
merely developing entities that are the EQUVALENT,
in all relevant ways, to the entities of Stage One of the
reproductive process that the RRR Cult *never*
defends. The gamete stage, which, JUST like the
other 3 stages -- zygotes, embryos, and fetuses -- are
(1) Human (by virtue of having *human* DNA).
(2) Unique (they're like snowflakes; no two alike.)
(3) In ALL cases where birth occurs, it is indispensable.
(4) Alive (so much for "life starts at fertilization").
(b) No fewer than a **quadrillion** such *potential*
people are *electively* aborted DAILY, by men --
while the RRR Cult looks the other way and whistles
a tune. That's called hypocrisy. To pretty much the
infinite power.
(c) Meanwhile, thanks to the legality and accessibility
of abortion in most of the civilized (and civil) world,
during any given recent 18-year-long period, more
than a BILLION women have been enabled and
empowered to exercise their bodily autonomy, and
have chosen to have abortions. Thus putting their
lives back on track by UNDOING the undesirable
situation, and immediately regaining their well-being
and restoring their full ranges of future opportunities
to PRE-ill-timed-pregnancy levels.
(d) The lemmings get nowhere when they seek Biblical
support for their stance, because:
A. ALL human life that the Bible defends as people
have been BORN.
B. The Bible makes it quite clear that personhood
begins at *birth*. As we see in its passages that
deal with BIRTHrights, BIRTH order, and first-
BORNS.
C. The *only* place that the Bible defends repro-
ductive-process entities is i a passage that
regards fetuses as *property*, and even *con-
dones* SLAVERY! (Ex. 21:20-25)
(e) In its morass of sociopathic agendas, the other one
that the RRR pursues in desperate fervency is their
goal of subjugating, "converting," repressing, con-
trolling, and discriminating against people who hap-
pen to be GLBT folks. That is second only to their
crusade to mindlessly and unjustifiably impose
immense hardship upon women by FORCING upon
them a 9-month-long form of *rape* -- forced gestation,
whether the girls and women want to give birth or not.
And the RRR is **most** anxious to deprive ALL gays
the EQUAL right to marry their chosen same-sex
partners. To realize how hateful (and brainless)
*that* is, consider these facts:
A. Marriage encourages monogamy. And monogamy
is the safest form of Safe Sex. Many married
people are unfaithful, but there are also are many
who are *truly* monogamous. Thus, it can be
expected that legalized same-sex marriage, by
virtue of its being an added inducement to mono-
gamy, will save SOME lives. (RRR cultists: What
if it only saved ONE life? Ever? What is MORE
valuable -- the life of one actual *person* -- or the
hate-agenda of opposition to same-sex marriage
that you pursue?)
B. There is NO WAY that *any* opposite-sex couple's
marriage could be harmed if a same-sex couple
that's been cohabiting for years in their community
suddenly is empowered to marry, legally... and then
proceeded to tie the knot. Opposition to same-sex
marriage is a sham, has no socially-redeeming
significance whatsoever, and is not something
that any truly sensible and intelligent person would
pursue.
STAGE IS SET... NOW FOR THE PLAY ---
(1) Above, we have looked at many reasons that is
logical to expect that the RRR Cult's lemmings are
FAR from being the brightest candles in the spotlight
shop. For all those reasons, and many more not
listed (for space considerations), it is evident that
a significant degree of ignorance is a prerequisite
for falling for the lies and propaganda that the
RRR Cult's oligarchical leaders incessantly spew
via its conduits of "Christian" radio, TV broadcasts,
and print media.
(2) IQ is a normal bell curve. Unskewed, with about the
same numbers of people above the average of 100
as below it. Mensa (the high-IQ frat) requires that its
members test to be in the top 2% of the population.
Depending upon which authorized test is employed,
that can be 130.
"The top 2% of the population (according to approved
IQ tests) are eligible to join Mensa."
http://www.mensa.org.nz/join.html
Interestingly, when one goes the OTHER way on
the bell curve, we find that the *same* distance takes
us to the threshold of metal retardation, as it is
officially and legally defined: 70.
"Most IQ tests are structured so that a score of 100 is
considered average. The determination, then, of what
is considered to be a 'significant limitation in intellectual
functioning" remains somewhat arbitrary, the equivalent
of a line in the sand. Prior to 1973, the recommended IQ
cut-off score for mental retardation was 85. In 1973, that
was revised downwards to approximately 70, where it
remains today. This is roughly the lowest scoring 2% of
the population."
http://ericec.org/digests/e637.html
(3) The USA's population of 300,000,000 obviously
includes millions of people who generally could not
be regarded seriously as active lemmings of the RRR
Cult. So let's lop off the number of Americans who
are under the age of ten. That leaves a relevant
population of around 225,000,00 for us to work with.
(Surprisingly, around 1/4 of Americans are under the
age of ten!)
http://www.medindia.net/health_statistics/general/percentpopulation.asp
Since around 2% of that entire population falls into
the Mensa-qualification set, and another 2% falls
into the mildly-mentally-retarded-and-below set, we
see that potential "M's" (that's what Mensans call
themselves) is around 4,500,000 of the age-10-and-
older population, and the same applies to their
counterparts on the low-IQ end.
(4) The only thing that can keep the RRR Cult going is
to have ignorant people as its base. (People with
a modicum of intelligence would usually have no
problem discerning the RRR Cult's disinformational
lies and propaganda, vis-a-vis the relevant facts, with
the result that they'd sooner attend a rat fight than
have anything to do with supporting the RRR's
bigoted, hateful, and utterly irrational agendas.) And
that doesn't mean all of the people who are below the
mental retardation level. A very significant percentage
of mildly-mentally-impaired people are sensible and
highly-functional people in our society. Rocket science
isn't in their purview... but neither does that mean that
any given one of them needs to be gullible, either.
HOWEVER -- the lower one's IQ (especially once
those under 85 are considered, the lower is one's
innate ability to integrate facts and test them within
their minds as consciously-processed thoughts... or
even to be AWARE of many of the relevant facts.
(5) Bottom line: An IQ of 85 is almost exactly one
standard deviation below the norm. (See graph
at top right of the page on this website):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ
This means that 15.87% of the USA's population
have IQ levels under 85. (See graph in the 4th
paragraph of this website):
http://www.mnstate.edu/wasson/ed602lesson7.htm
That's 35,700,000 of our relevant U.S. population
of 225,000,000 who are over age 10.
'WAY more than we need to comprise ALL (or
a very high percentage) of the15,000,000 who
are being conned by Hannity.
If the right survey ever is conducted by a reputable
polling agency, such as Harris or Gallup, I'm betting that
we'd get verification of my theory... based on everything
above... that --- while 100 is the average IQ of the general
population as a whole --- an average IQ of 85 or less
would apply to the set of people comprising the lemmings
of the RRR Cult.
