“Jacob Robida would qualify. Fred Phelps would qualify.” Have heard of Phelps. Robida? I have no clue.

Hey Seane-Anna, how about Screamin Howie firing a gay guy because his partner was critical of the sacred DNC?

Just what, in your opinion, is “hate” for gays?

Jacob Robida would qualify. Fred Phelps would qualify.

And Seane-Anna, we’ve been over this before. I, for one, am not going to call you a hater for not supporting gay marriage, believing that homosexual acts are sinful, and opposing homosexual advocacy in public schools, inasmuch as I agree with you on two out of the three of those.

But really, what on earth is your point in this?

B. Daniel, just what do you consider “hateful attitudes” toward homosexuals? Non-support of gay marriage? Agreeing with the Biblical teaching that homosexual acts are sinful? Opposing advocacy of homosexuality in public schools? Just what, in your opinion, is “hate” for gays? Not a rhetorical question. I really want to know.

The reason I don’t show the “D” by name anymore is because of the politics of hate that Dean and his ilk showed against Hillary, and then Palin.

Hatred of your domestic political enemies is as natural as breathing. Hatred has gotten a bad name of late. It’s part of our makeup and I for one am tired of being preached at about it. Telling people not to hate is like telling them not to desire or fear. What’s important is how you handle the hate, the desire, the fear. And you can’t do that unless you recognize that it’s there. And it’s usually there for a very good reason.

One of the things I hate (!) about liberalism is that it forbids and pathologizes natural human responses in the name of some rootless higher ethical norm, base only in post-theistic narcissism. Talk about repression.

And another thing I hate about liberalism is that it is grounded in hatred and makes believe that it flows like syrup from the benevolence of an evolved mind and a caring heart.
