Yeah I noticed that too. What this article condones is not too far from Orwell’s two-minutes-hate.

Sorry, Don, I’m a right leaning centrist, one of those loathesome creatures you despise.

I don’t believe hate is productive at all. If you want to see perpetual hatred take a good look at the gangs of LA, or Darfur, or any other situation where the violence is unending.

And, how does hating people because of their beliefs mesh with your so-called Christian principles? “Well, they do it to us!” is not a good response. A childish one perhaps, but aren’t conservatives supposed to be the grownups?

'Centrists' and liberals are, at best, destructive fools. Liberals are busy drilling holes in the boat. Centrists believe that negotiating for fewer holes is the answer.

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if, only, by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromiser is the transmitting rubber tube.

It's time for Atlas to shrug - and pick up a gun.

Meh. I don’t know if I’d agree with “hate” in the truest sense of the term but I DO agree there should be MORE partisanship.

After all, no one can honestly say that Bush’s “uniter not divider” rhetoric and actions worked in any way whatsoever or that compromising with Dems ever really works to advance the Rightist agenda, can they?

At some point you have to stop trying to be loved and respected by people who compare you to Hitler all while giving a pass to the REAL Hitlers of the world and those that have consistently taken up the cause or sympathized with not only the enemies of our country but of freedom and humanity itself.

You entirely miss the point if you infer that Feder promotes hatred of individuals; people. He clearly, succinctly establishes the VIRTUE of the hatred of ideas and philosophies that are inimical to the health and well-being of this country and its Judeo/Christian cultural heritage. This is the healthy kind of hate - the revulsion that results from the ingestion of bitter poison - vomiting. The core point of the article is this: Expose evil and oppose it, don't dance with it. This is the "hate" he endorses.
