. If they claim to hate gun-toting religious fanatics, look no further than the jihadists, who are 1) sexist (stonings of adulterers) 2) homophobic (executions of homosexuals) 3) racist (Darfur genocide) and 4) imperialist (trying to establish Sharia everywhere from Russia to Nigeria to the Philippines).

Anyone who attacks things with such overzealousness is secretly harboring some longing, some hidden desire. Man is weak. A man who does not accept his own failings, but instead piles them upon another is the one most at risk to becoming a slave to his own. Those who scream loudest for equality are often filled with designs that are equal in the eyes of few.

Who cares why “they” hate us? It’s not our job to educate the ignorant. I would love to be able to tell some dippy reporter why I hate “them” and have it published!
