Do you think trying self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his cohorts in Manhattan puts the city in danger? Do you think the decision was more about politics than national security?

Michelle Malkin: The violence at Fort Hood, President Obama told mourners yesterday, was "incomprehensible." The "twisted logic that led to the tragedy," he reiterated, may be "too hard to comprehend."

What exactly is so hard to comprehend? The signs foretelling Fort Hood jihadist Maj. Nidal Hasan's rampage were all too clear for those willing to see and hear. In his 2007 slide presentation to fellow Army doctors on "The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the Military," he spelled it out: "We love death more then (sic) you love life!" | Click here to read the full article

Do you think Fort Hood was a preventable act of terror?

The Gratitude Wave: Showing Our Soldiers We Have NOT Forgotten Them http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/11/the-gratitude-wave-showing-our-soldiers-we-have-not-forgotten-them/ http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/11/the-gratitude-wave-showing-our-soldiers-we-have-not-forgotten-them/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:26:27 +0000 Ainsley Earhardt http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/?p=3397 “Thousands of men and women have died in Iraq and Afghanistan since we invaded and toppled Saddam Hussein.  It’s become easier to ignore the casualties over time.  What follows is my attempt to make us care about just one of those fallen soldiers.  And in doing so, maybe we come to care about all of them.” - Mike Redding, Journalist

My friend Mike Redding is one of the most gifted writers in my business.  He has two National Edward R. Murrow Awards, 28 Emmys, 11 Associated Press awards, three National Gabriel Awards and one Missouri Broadcasters Association Award.  Therefore, it didn’t surprise me when I couldn’t stop crying after reading his fallen-soldier story called “One Soldier’s Death”  (link is below).  And, it didn’t surprise me that after reading that same story I thought a little harder and cared a little deeper for our military families.  And now, it still doesn’t surprise me to learn how that one story, about that one soldier, is sparking a national campaign to thank our troops.  It’s not only a reflection of Mike’s talents, but a reminder of how important it is to thank our military families.  This is why I feel compelled to share his story with you.

Mike traveled to Arlington National Cemetary with Sgt. Baldesingh’s wife and three young children for the burial of their husband/father.  The Marine was killed in Iraq on the last day American soldiers occupied Baghdad.  Mike wrote about his life, death, relationships, the last time he talked to his wife and the children whispering their goodbyes to daddy.  It was a moving piece and brought reaction from other soldiers.

Mike said men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan started reading the story and emailed him about how much it meant to them.  They felt like no one in America cared about their sacrifices anymore.  It broke Mike’s heart to think these men and women were risking their lives everyday and felt ignored by their own country.

This is how the Gratitude Wave came to fruition.  Mike wanted a way for more of us to say, “We still care, love and pray for you.”  He picked a date, time and is asking as many people as possible to change their Facebook pages and Twitter status to some brief words of gratitude for our troops.  Mike writes to me in an email, “You’ll be amazed at how many in the military are connected to social media…even on the front lines.”

Mike is calling it the Gratitude Wave and hopes you’ll take part at noon on Tuesday, November 24 (the week of Thanksgiving).

I strongly encourage you to log onto Mike’s website and read his touching story “One Soldier’s Death” and take part in the Gratitude Wave.

Thank you to our military and their families.  We do love you and have not forgotten!  ~ Ainsley

New World Order? http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/10/new-world-order/ http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/10/new-world-order/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:42:14 +0000 Hannity Producers http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/?p=3392

In Washington, progress on climate change legislation is slow-moving. But even wider differences between the developed and developing world kept climate change negotiators from reaching an agreement Friday, in the last meeting before the December summit in Copenhagen.

Poor countries say the 17-20 percent greenhouse gas reduction the U.S. House and Senate bills envision is not deep enough. While U.S. officials note that China and India will account for 80 percent of the growth in greenhouse gases over the next 20 years, developing countries say the West grew rich on cheap energy that polluted the atmosphere.

The developing world now wants aid for cleaner energy production, but the question is how much?

What do you think? How real is the global warming threat?

Intern’s Perspective: Under Pressure: Recognizing the 'Power of the People' http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/09/intern%e2%80%99s-perspective-under-pressure-recognizing-the-power-of-the-people/ http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/09/intern%e2%80%99s-perspective-under-pressure-recognizing-the-power-of-the-people/#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:09:25 +0000 Hannity Producers http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/?p=3385

Following the passage of the health care bill in the House, President Obama was quick to urge the Senate to finish the job, and to finish it quickly -- before the end of the year to be exact. Further emphasizing the “need” to rush the legislative process, the president evoked images of a race in his petition to the Senate, saying that it was their turn to “take up the baton and bring this effort to the finish line.”

In response to the president’s proposed deadline, a Democrat remarked, “The holiday break is viewed the same way as the August break. We don’t want a repeat. We could probably survive it, but why take the chance?”

In other words, our nation’s representatives fear the public’s opinion. They fear having to defend their votes to masses of unhappy constituencies who recognize that their representatives are not being representative at all. At the end of the day, these powerful individuals are scared of the prospect of accountability.

This is an important point for apathetic and disillusioned citizens, many of which are young people, to understand. An activist can be mocked, scoffed at, and bullied by the most powerful members of society, but at the end of the day all who participate in the democratic process matter. This being noted, it is my hope that both the disenchanted youth and their older counterparts will use their voices and their actions to demand accountability from their representatives, both now in these critical times, and always thereafter whenever they feel that their beliefs are threatened.

Do you think that the fear of accountability and constituency backlash will deter the Senate from passing health care legislation?
