HATE IS WRONG UNLESS IT IS DIRECTED TOWARDS PEOPLE WITH WHOM WE DISAGREE.
By: Andy DeStephano
Why do left wing radicals denounce intolerance unless it’s against something they support? How come it’s acceptable to dehumanize only certain people, beliefs and organizations?
Just recently radio talk show commentator Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital for chest pains. As I searched for news regarding his condition, I was appalled by the comments posted by other readers. The venomous words used to express their distain for his existence were simply horrific. Although disturbed by what I read it certainly comes as no surprise as it seems Conservative bashing has become widely accepted by the Left.
Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and Ann Coulter are prime examples and targets of liberal attacks; however when Bill O’Rielly commented about Helen Thomas you would have thought he had insulted Mother Theresa. The double standard of what is considered humorous and objective is extremely skewed. In fact, most are just down right mean spirited and foul. In order to be fair and objective, I also take issue when conservatives engage in these practices.
I wish that the very same people that seek to destroy Glenn Beck would have the same passion for destroying Osama Bin Laden. I would like to hear the same people that say Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers are activists agree that Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are commentators not messengers of hate. It would be nice to have these people be as irate when Michelle Malkin is attacked, as they are when Hillary Clinton is criticized. Ultimately I would love to believe the Obama Administration is as passionate about fighting terrorism and enforcing the Patriot Act as they are in eliminating Fox News and supporting the Fairness Doctrine. Once again I must admit none of these will ever happen even though this is change I can believe in.
“Conservative view on legalizing drugs? Not given to Federal Authority in Constitution, therefore 10th Amendment says it is a state issue .
Conservative view on prostitution? Not given to Federal Authority in Constitution, therefore 10th Amendment says it is a state issue .
Conservative view on allowing a woman to choose an abortion? Federal mandate to protect Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Liberty. Conservatives like to protect life, the life of the baby is to be preserved, the way yours was before you was born.”
Negatory red rider, libertarians I’ll give you on your answers to #1 and #2, but not conservatives. Since I’m a Libertarian leaning conservative, I agree with all 3.
In order to have a valuable discussion there has to be some common ground. I spend a lot of time on Jungian psychology but I probably can't have a valuable discussion on topic if you don't even know who Carl Jung is. In just the same way I as a conservative can't have a valuable discussion with a left-leaning someone who doesn't understand that enabling adult dependency (socialism) is harmful to the other's psychological foundation (read my tagline) either...unless of course the other in question is 16 and just beginning to formulate humanistic/political opinions....might be worth giving them a clue. None the less I don't hate anyone under those conditions I just don't want to bother with them. Waste of my valuable time.

Are you sure your on the right board. There is no moral equivalency between this right left BS. There are those who believe in the law of the land and those that are above the law. Those above the law, have no law.”
When that “law” infringes on your second amendment rights (or pick another right), let’s see how one feels at that time. Bad laws are written, enforced, and can be repealed. The law isn’t as cut and dry as we like to think.

You don’t need psychology to explain entitlements. You just need common sense to understand the negative impacts.
I think they know what they are doing in the context of an immature and possibly personality disordered mind...(hence all the reference to narcissism). Mature intelligent ethical communist is a run-on oxymoron..a lack of ethics is what one could define as evil. If you go up the ladder of disorders of narcissism in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) at the most severe you are looking at evil dead in the eye.
You'd think that would be enough but not for your average liberal....
I’m gonna have to go give momma some lovin’ or I might not get true lovin’ the next time I need it.
I won’t be responding on this thread any further. I think the horse is mutilated at this point.
Happy New Year!

hate (emotion)
Definition:the emotion of intense dislike; a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action
It is the same as trying to convince someone I am not racist. Mo matter how much truth was on my side, if the listener thought I was racist nothing will change his mind.
hate on the right have you ever seen the homosexual and far left sites like KOS, move on huff post.
They’re as much hate on that as any site have ever come across.
The left have always hated anyone they disagree with, they hate and hate and then shout tolerance when they want their agenda pushed onto others.
Did you see how the homosexuals acted because the majority of folks do not go with their agenda.
The left have hated since before the NAZIS who were too left wing.
HUH
It’s a right to kill a baby, ever seen an ultra sound because if you had then there is no way you cannot say that it is not a baby.
Since when is it a right to take drugs and also pay for sex?
So I’ll ask you this.
do you think killing a baby should be legal?
just wondering along with do you support punishing a person for two murders when they kill a pregnant woman?
In some states they do and yet they say it’s OK for a baby to be killed by a supposed Doc(you know those who folks who make an oath to protect a person health?
Only white Anglo Saxon conservative capitalistic white men can hate.

You forgot to add “straight” and “Christian”. :)
Now now, we FReepers love our horses.
white,normal, Christian, man
easy to attack and demean, the left like sot hate them but it is the left who shouts that they are the haters.
what a messed up world.
I’ll change that view when I see homosexuals making fun of muslims, . When the ACLU sues atheists, when the left attacks and makes fun of minorities like they do for white males .
LOL....
Ouch....
Post anything on this site, just one thing that Obama has done correctly.

There isn’t one.
Unless you count using the correct silverware at dinner.
I have some damn good liberal friends and the ones I’m referring to are excellent people.

Ah, I am beginning to see your problem.
Solution? Find new friends.
IBTZ. Although, I am surprised.
