a Great American and when listening to Sean Hannity, one of the Republican’s icons in punditry, I hear him say to all veterans, “you’re a great American.” then other people later on his show would say that he is a great American and it becomes like a contest sometimes where everyone who supports                 Sean Hannity on his show is calling each other a great American and I’m thinking: he thanks veterans because they fought in a war and protected our country. and I’m thinking, we thank people for finding a loophole to legally kill people, we thank people for going through hell in a current war that we don’t support a war not defending our country but killing our people nonetheless Hell, people now aren’t even in a war only Congress can declare a war and we haven’t been in an actual war since World War Two but I’m sure they’re great Americans because they fought in these President-proclaimed wars yeah, Sean Hannity thanks veterans because they fought in a war and protected our country but he also calls anyone a great American only because they agree with him you can elevate anyone to that tall pedestal idolize them, call them a great American as long as they support the Bush kakistocracy hey, we’re Americans, we’ve proclaimed ourselves to be the best we don’t idolize anyone I think it’s time we all start thinking                 the Sean Hannity way and be great Americans again All rights reserved.
