Or--tinfoil hat does it appear--many on the Left were paid off to spout their Leftist views? In short, beneficiaries of a slush fund?

The quantity / level of evil libs tolerate is merely a political calculation on their part.

Thanks for the post, Kaslin. Good find!

If children are taught to hate when young, they will hate when they are adults. I contend that many children are taught to hate when they are young, and never grow out of hating.

I believe that much of the hate being expressed against President Trump specifically, and Conservatives in general, today is a result of Marxist/Socialist/Fascist/Progressive/Islamicist adults teaching their children FRom an early age to hate specific people/idea/actions. They grow up hating.

There is, of course, hate that is bought and paid for by the likes of George Soros and hate that is inculcated by the educational establishment into the”minds full of mush” students.

I was fortunate to be brought up by parents who believed in and taught me the Golden Rule, and was never taught to hate because of some accident of birth.

HST, I can and do hate people and organizations because of their intentional words/actions/behaviors. I seek to destroy them in a peaceful, legal and honorable way - I speak and write openly of my disgust and contempt for them, and contribute to organizations who oppose them and seek to put them out of business.

So, I refer to people who subscribe to the “Progressive” mentality as “LIEberals,” because the entire body of their work is based on LIEs, and they must LIE to spread their poison among us. They seem to have the upper hand for the moment, but I am hoping that President Trump will begin to rein them in and enforce the Rule of Law upon them!

Mr. Hawkins’ point is well-made! We should pay close attention to the activities of the LIEberals among us!

“I loathe liberalism, but I don’t hate liberals.”

Well, I do. I have seen what they have done to America.

Hey what can go wrong when we have leftists and Islamists fighting together to take over society?

I encountered some of this hate while at work. some little guy asked me what I was spraying - I replied glyphosate for the weeds. He immediately launched into the most hate filled screaming in my ear (had he been tall enough) with multiple threats and the ever-popular ad hominums. He, who was just some tenant in one of the apartments, demanded I leave the property and wished I would die of cancer. Now some on has to pull the weeds by hand which is not effective, but a temporary solution to weeding, and in the long run ensures that the expensive apartment building will have far more weeds in its beds than ever.

I don’t feel the “liberals think with their emotions” meme is accurate. Not emotions such as caring about kids and the poor. There is a LOT of anger and hatred on the left and they easily dismiss even deaths caused by their policies. Leftism is a cancer and always was.

That has always been the plan and it has been very effective.

Somebody tried to use that argument with me, along with that Christ would disown me for not wanting to help with medical bills.

I told him that if he thought that Christ would overlook his impoverishing his children so that he could get cheaper healthcare now? He didn’t want to answer that.

We always had liberals but most people knew they were out of touch and silly. The media and Obama infected us with the idea that radical leftism is just another mainstream point of view. You already see the result as they justified violent mob attacks on the opposition and seek to shut down Free Speech.

Godlessness usually lets in an unacceptable amount of evil (abortion, crime, drugs, etc).
= = =

And it comes in through the door of Emotion.

(It’s for the Children, or the Spotted Owl, or Mother ERF, ...)

While the door of Logic is barricaded shut in their minds and is labeled “Do not open. EVIL inside.”

I remember anti-conservative hate speech in one of the children’s books I bought circa 1960 from my elementary school’s Scholastic Books program. This was a children’s book for maybe fourth grade to sixth grade, and the author worked in a statement where one of the characters said something like, this family doesn’t vote for Republicans, they don’t care about us. Words to that effect. I was a grade school student at the time and my family were Republicans and I remember even at that young age wondering, why is this in my book, this has nothing to do with the story. I recognized it as political propaganda and was offended.

“...willfully ignorant...”

That is the problem, they don’t want to know the truth. One liberal nutcase actually responded to me when I told him that socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried with, “I don’t care whether it works or not.” He literally did not care about results, only with continuing to believe that he is morally superior because he favors socialism. It really is a mental disorder and should be recognized as such.

Ayn Rand went to a lot of effort to explain that those who believe in socialism are convinced that THEY will be the ones to benefit from the efforts of their betters. They cannot seem to deal with the truth of what inevitably results from trying to live that way.

I actually don’t know who Kimmel is other than a name. That is how much attention I pay to such characters now. I know nothing about him but feel fairly certain that he is unworthy to kiss the boots of Festus Hagen.

Many of them are merely ignorant. But a lot of them are willfully ignorant for one reason or another.
_____________________________________________

And due to the fact they are somewhat ignorant, when EVIL steps in to LEAD, they willfully follow hanging on every word and deed not knowing the difference nor thinking of the consequences.

Yeah, we speak of hatred like it’s something evil. It’s not always a bad idea to hate something.

We hate Nazis, right ? We hate genocide, right ?

If someone or something is harming you, plans on harming you or prevents good things from happening to you then it’s ok to hate them or that thing.

We teach our kids to avoid bad neighborhoods, right ? Do we teach them this to keep them away from fun times and opportunities ? No. We teach them this because the people in those neighborhoods are bad, bad people who will do and cause harm.

It’s stupid to teach otherwise. That’s not teaching. that’s exposing.

I loathe liberalism, but I don’t hate liberals.

I beg to disagree. Libs know damn well what they're doing. I despise them all with a radiant, sun-hot passion.

but I don’t think most of them are evil.

I have advanced from that state. I think most of them are evil.Ten years ago I could argue compatibly with an old liberal friend. I cannot any more and we have not spoken is some time. he has come to the opinion feeling that I have become irrational and evil because I disagree with him. He used to argue rationally and had a lot of knowledge of facts to back his arguments up and so did I and we argued then had a beer. Now any hint of disagreement and his face gets all screwed up and the hatred and disdain shines through. He will not talk about anything. If I don't agree he feels I am being wilfully obtuse because of course I know he is right and everything else is destructive.

“I used to think that Americans were above this kind of thinking until the day Bill Clinton was elected president.”

I could have written that line myself, I really wanted to throw up when I realized that the country had been taken over by this typical southern con artist who is such a low life he would have to climb a long ladder to kiss the toes of a typical used car salesman. At least my state didn’t fall for his clown act. When he was reelected I knew that I no longer lived in the same country, it had become something much different. Someone once told me that the only good thing about Clinton was that he really did not do much. If he had had Trump’s ability to enact his agenda in spite of opposition there would not be a United States of America in any form today. His main ability is in claiming credit for what others do.

Agreed. Their selective outrage proves the point.
