bright, likable, and deeply sincere

Not, not, and indeed not. A pair of shallow, canting, showbiz phonies, cut from the same filthy cloth.

They deserve each other.

“So disposed, the two seem to be less the products of Roman Catholicism than of two virulent heresies that washed through U.S. religious education at all levels beginning in the 1950s: Modernism and Marxism. Theirs is boomer religion.”

We Orthodoxers must have missed those heresies at Liturgy or Greek School.

Interesting point.
There 's a difference between ignorance and outright modernist heresy.
Both, of course, have been exposed to Americanist modernism.
Hannity exaggerates the positive role of multinational corporate capitalism
(Big Business) and its Social Darwinism (which he seems to think is the essence of "conservatism"), while Michael Moore lapses into Statism and collectivism
without mentioning that it is not an article of faith to have a statist system
of collectivism (like the Fabian Socialism of Obama & Co.).

It's clear on the Marxism.
But some conservative would have to explain why Social Darwinism
and the price gouging of multinationals do not reflect the essence of
"conservatism" in a way which corrects the errors. The culture war
involves a LOT more than just market forces.

I’ve actually seen Michael Moore in Church on Sunday. Ironically, for this anti-capitalist man-of-the-downtrodden, the Church I saw him in was Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills.

the price gouging of multinationals

Could you give a few examples?
