Under point number 1, Hate, I came across this interesting tidbit “ He protests against homophobic Christians, American imperialists, and Monsanto.”

More than one Freeper has fallen under the spell of the Leftist movement, buying into the ‘I hate Monsanto’ bit.

I do think you can be a deep conservative filled with love and reverence and still hate what Monsanto is doing, trying to “own” (patent) “plants and seeds” — and mess with our food. Can businesses exist that we don’t always agree with? Yes, legally, sure. But should we try to become aware of businesses’ products that are meant for us to ingest and become part of our bodies, while we are attempting to remain healthy? Also, yes.

And if you don’t agree with me about Monsanto’s practices, that’s fine, but there might be a company with whom you’d disagree — say, a vodka company marketing a drink for children. Or a toy that mocks your religion. Conservatives believe in business, big or small, but we are free to be angry at specific businesses!
