I think you confuse righteous anger against irrational emotional hatred.

I am angry at those trying to destroy this country in any number of ways. I am angry at evil people doing wicked things and calling it good and trying to force me to call it good or make it illegal to call it bad. Being human I think everyone may have a few people or things (living and non-living) things they “hate” but for the most part, I am angry at those people, but anger isn’t “hate”. Anger at what they are doing. Anger that they’re duped and feel great about being duped.

In the long run hate is unsustainable. Hate doesn’t drive things on and motivate people long term. Hate wears you out. You can’t be happy while hating. It clouds everything. That’s why those on the left are never happy, even when they get what they want. They hate.

Hate has never been a foundation for a sustained movement that has ever succeeded. Righteous anger, however, has. The colonists who desperately tried working with the King for decades before finally declaring independence, didn’t hate their country. They tried many, many times to get their demands recognized and the pressures lifted off them. They didn’t “hate”. They finally had no recourse and believed they were in the right, and were angry at a government who took and took and never listened to them.

So please acknowledge the righteous anger we feel on the right isn’t the same thing as the haters on the left.

You’ve been on here a decade and you haven’t noticed the hate? The minute you disagree with someone, the response is name calling and ferocious attempts to paint you a certain way. That’s not love my friend, but it is a good time with the back and forth banter.

There are just as many snide remarks on the right when a liberal dies. However if the shoe doesn’t fit you personally, then don’t wear it.

I have some damn good liberal friends and the ones I’m referring to are excellent people. We just have different views on what is best for our country.

A little experiment you can try. Post anything on this site, just one thing that Obama has done correctly. Watch the love responses you get. Either there is a true hatred of the man or he doesn’t have one redeeming quality. Not one? That’s not possible.
