"Hannity's opinions on NSA surveillance differ depending on who the president is." 

From Media Matters

To try to translate what Sean Hannity is saying here: (even though I wouldn't recommend trying to do that yourself) he was in favor of the so-called War On Terror and the extra surveillance tactics by the Federal Government, before he was against it. An old paraphrase from Senator John Kerry from 2004 over the Iraq War. 

What does being in favor of the War On Terror before Sean Hannity was against it mean? In the 2000s under President George W. Bush, when Hannity would stand inline everyday to try to pay President Bush money to kiss his ass. the WOT was a convenient, partisan, talking point to use against Democrats, especially left-wing Democrats and make them look Un-American and not strong enough to defend America. Now that we have a Progressive Democratic President, the WOT is a convenient, partisan talking point that he can use against the Obama Administration and their supporters and say that the Democrats are in favor of Big Government and Big Brother.

This is just a perfect example of why Sean Hannity is an hypocritical asshole when it comes to the War on Terror. Clear example of the state of the Republican Party right now where they don’t discuss and debate issues like the War on Terror, but simply look for ways to oppose Barack Obama. 

If President Obama came out in favor of flat tax and eliminating the corporate income tax, Republicans would accuse him of supporting a middle class tax hike which is what a flat tax is and being fiscally irresponsible for being against the corporate tax. And the same thing with estate tax, or making English the official language of the United States. If the President supported them on those issues, they would suddenly oppose him.

The War on Terror which before January, 2009 was the Republican Party’s favorite war ever especially with their Neoconservatives, is a perfect example of this. It’s not the War on Terror, or any other issue that hyper-partisan Republicans like Sean Hannity used to publicly support that they’re against. Its Barack Obama that they’re against. 

President Obama  represents everything that the Far-Right in America are against: American diversity, African-Americans coming to power, less power for Caucasian-Americans who use to rule most of the country, young Americans, an economy that works for more Americans and just the wealthy and I could go down the line.

The War on Terror, God’s greatest gift to mankind other than electricity and air conditioning when George W. Bush was President of the United States. But now that Barack Obama is President its big government on the loose, with no one to fight back against it. And we need Congress to step in impeach President Obama in order to stop this. Which is how hyper-partisan Republicans in and outside of the Tea Party look at Barack Obama on really any issue that they at least once agreed with him on. 

Their issues, are their issues and as long as you disagree with them they’re more than happy to defend their issues. But once you agree with them, or try to find common ground they automatically take the other side.
