…Hannity is a pathological level of propagandist, because his entire reality, his entire mindset is programmed for ideology and partisanship. There is no world for him but politics; and no perspective within politics except conflict and warfare. He greets views that do not comport with the opportunistic ideology of the moment as threats to be extinguished, not ideas to be engaged.
Whatever else this toxic, shallow and brutal perspective is, it is not now and never will be conservative – unless that word has now been so corrupted it has no meaning at all.
[...]
At the core of real conservatism is a distinction between theory and practice, a deep resistance to ideology, a respect for free inquiry and the philosophic spirit, a respect for social stability and coherence, a moderation in governance and a deliberation in action.
It is really time to point out that what Hannity represents, what much of Fox News represents, is not a defense of conservatism but one of conservatism’s deepest, most vicious and most pernicious enemies. I am sick and tired of having this political tradition coopted and vandalized in this manner.
The Age Of Teabagging is upon us and there is no end in sight to the continued decline of a political philosophy. Thirty plus years of abuse and misuse brought us the Bush years and with that the rise of vacuous minds of the order of Sarah Palin et al.
It is not a good time to be both an intellectual and a conservative.

I’m not sure Hannity even has much credibility with Conservatives. I’m not sure just being against everything “just because” is a very good ideology.
