Humanity was believe to have shared a last common ancestor with chimpanzees approximately 5 million years ago at the dawning of the Pliocene epoch.
==Bipedalism==
Our bipedalism is what evolutionary biologists believe has led to our larger brains and ability to use tools. Walking on two legs frees up both hands to use tools. The ability to use tools resulted in an evolutionary pressure to become more intelligent which has resulted in an increase in brain volume. It is believed that our ancestors developed bipedalism about 4 million years ago. Lucy, an ''Australpithicus'' is fully bipedal at 3.7 million years ago, indicating that the trait evolved sometime before that. Her brain size is only slightly larger than a modern chimpanzee, indicating more time was needed for the Southern Ape to develop into modern man.
==The Genus ''Homo''==
By the end of the Pliocene, anthropologists and evolutionary biologists recognize a species that is classified in our genus, ''Homo''. ''Homo habilus'' or handy man used stone tools and it is believed that they had a primitive form of language. Their brain size was half again that of a chimpanzee but still only slightly more than a third of a modern human. Some scientists consider ''Homo habilus'' to be a late variety of Australopithecus but Homo habilus was an indication that evolution was getting closer to modern man
==Pleistocene==
By the beginning of the Pleistocene, ''Homo ergaster'', what many consider to be the first true human formed. He had a brain capacity almost two thirds of modern man, used more advanced tools, and may have had the ability to control fire. ''Homo ergaster'' or ''Homo erectus'' may have been the first humans to radiate out of Africa about 1.8 million years ago. Around 800,000 years ago humans took on a much more modern appearence. Their brain capacity was around 90 per cent that of modern man, with broad overlap. They used spears and handaxes, wore clothes, cooked their own food, and may have buried their dead. ''Homo heidlebergensis'' which is sometimes classified as late Homo erectus or early Homo sapiens lived during this time between 800,000 and 500,000 years ago. It is believed that he is the last common ancestor between modern man and Neanderthals.

'''Michelle Malkin''' (born 1970) is an [[United States|American]] [[conservative]] pundit and journalist. She is of Filipino descent and is really hot but really stupid. I would bang her. I ate her pussy, it was really tasty. She came three times. She also shaves her snatch.

Fascism

2007-09-11T00:05:02Z

HalifaxTrollReturns:

'''Fascism''' is an [[totalitarian]] [[extreme]] [[conservative]] economic and political ideology that arose in early twentieth-century Europe and came to dominate the social and political systems of a number of European and other nations. The last European fascist regime, that of [[Francisco Franco]] in Spain, came to an end in 1975.

Characteristics of fascism include a belief that the state is more important than the individual; a leaning towards authoritarian government and [[economic planning]]; an emphasis on [[nationalism]] and national traditions; militarism; information control and censorship; media propagation of the Great Leader which demononizes and trivializes his critics; and a rejection both of free enterprise and [[Social democracy]] in favor of [[corporatism|corporatist]] economic policies.

The fourteen characteristics of fascism also include rampant [[cronyism]] and [[corruption]] as well as general disdain for human rights and rigged elections.<ref>Dr. Lawrence Britt "Fascism Anyone?," Free Inquiry, Spring 2003, page 20</ref>

The prototypical fascist regime was that of [[Benito Mussolini]], who ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943. Other regimes which included corporatist elements are those of [[Francisco Franco]] in Spain (1936-1975) and [[Antonio Salazar]] in Portugal (1932-1968). German [[Nazism]] referred to government mandated corporatist entities as industrial cartels and added an obsession with [[race]]. Austrian economist [[Friedrich Hayek]] observed in the final stages of [[World War II]], "the rise of fascism and [[Marxism]] was not a reaction against the socialist trends of the preceding period but a necessary outcome of those tendencies. Yet it is significant that many of the leaders of these movements, from Mussolini down (and including [[Laval]] and [[Quisling]]) began as socialists and ended as fascists or Nazis. <ref>Friedrich A. Hayek, [http://www.iea.org.uk/files/upld-publication43pdf?.pdf ''Road to Serfdom'',] Reader's Digest Condensed Version, April 1945, pg. 31 - 32.</ref>

Fascism as an ideological theory was comprehensively discredited in the eyes of most Westerners because of the defeat of the [[Axis]] powers in [[World War II]], however fascist economic theories of government mandated combines, wage and price controls, [[economic planning]] boards which set production requirements, and regulated monopolies were characteristic of the [[New Deal]] era and government efforts to spend its way out of the [[Great Depression]]. [[Class warfare]] and a hostile stance toward legitmate business and profit is another characteristic feature fascism retained from it's [[Socialist]] roots.

"Fascist" is today frequently used as a term of abuse both on the left and on the right against one's political opponents. While few people are willing to describe themselves as fascists or endorse the fascist regimes of the past, fascist parties and parties descended from fascist parties (such as the [[Alleanza Nazionale]] in [[Italy]]) continue to be a minor force in European politics. Fascism seems not to flourish in countries with an Anglo-centric heritage: America, Australia and Canada have never had significant fascist movements, and the [[British Union of Fascists]] was never an important force in UK politics.

The name "fascism" derives from an ancient Roman symbol, the ''[[fasces]],'' a group of birch rods bundled together with an axe. It symbolizes strength in unity; the rods are weak by themselves but strong when bundled together.

Of the Fascist movement, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. wrote:
{{Cquote|The Fascists, for example, were not [[conservative]] in any very meaningful sense. They did not wish to preserve the existing order, or even to turn back the clock to some more stable century. They purposefully planned to transform the existing order into a new and all-absorbing authoritarianism, based upon the energies and frustrations of modern industrialism. The Fascists, in a meaningful sense, were revolutionaries. Yet their totalitarian ideal hardly fitted into the pattern of the Left, which had been the traditional home of greater freedoms and more generous aspirations. So, after boggling and uncertainty, they were assigned positions on the far Right. <ref>Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., ''New York Times Magazine'', April 4, 1948.

'''Sean Patrick Hannity''' (born December 30, 1961) is a [[fascist]] talk show host and [[television]] co-host of [[Fox News]] ''Hannity and Colmes'' show. The youngest of four children, Hannity was born in [[New York City]] to Irish immigrants. He dropped out of college to embark on [[radio]] career, and in 1988 was at a small-town station of WVNN in Huntsville, Alabama. He later broke into a Top 10 market in Atlanta at 640 AM WGST. His national recognition came as an occasional substitute host of the #1 radio show of all-time - The [[Rush Limbaugh]] Show. Allegedly on his first guest show, he dropped the golden EIB microphone because of a case of high nerves. This nationwide attention paved his way to national syndication.

==Television==
Sean Hannity was asked to join the newly formed FOX News Channel (FNC) in September 1996<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1242,00.html</ref>.
He accepted the offer and became co-host with Alan Colmes of ''Hannity and Colmes,'' a prime time one-hour debate driven talk show focusing on the controversial issues and newsmakers of the day. <ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1242,00.html</ref> Today ''Hannity and Colmes'' ranks among the leading cable TV news show (just behind ''Larry King Live'' and the ''O'Reilly Factor''). Critics contend that the conservative Hannity is given more time to talk than the liberal Colmes.

==Controversy==

Hannity angered traditional [[Catholics]] with his antagonistic treatment of Father Thomas Euteneuer on March 9th, during which Hannity criticized Fr. Euteneuer for prominent sex scandals in the Catholic Church.<ref>http://thebadguy.wordpress.com/2007/03/15/video-of-the-hannity-euteneuer-squabble</ref> After heated remarks by Hannity during the interview, he finally asked the priest, "Wait, would you deny me Communion?" To which Fr. Euteneuer responded, "I would."<ref>http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/abbott/070320</ref>

==Books==

Hannity's books use patriotic rhetoric as a main theme. His first book, in 2002, was entitled ''"Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism"''. The book remained on the New York Times best selling list for 17 weeks.<ref>http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/24930/Sean_Hannity/index.aspx</ref>
In 2004 he wrote ''Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism''. In this book he "reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of [[Neville Chamberlain]] and [[Jimmy Carter]] to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern [[Democratic Party]] from [[Howard Dean]] and [[John Kerry]] to [[Bill Clinton|Bill]] and [[Hillary Clinton]]."

==Radio==

Hannity reaches approximately 12.5 million radio listeners each day, second only behind Rush Limbaugh.<ref>Newsweek, April 27th, 2007 issue, Pg. 29</ref>
