Yeah, I know about "judging"...

Yeah, yeah, I know about that, it is being thrown at me every time I point out the fundies are judgemental.

BUT!!!!

It is THEM who believe that crap, not me! I am not being a hypocrite, I am free to judge. It is only prohibited by THEIR beliefs!

that's right, F22. one of MY prophets once said "he who is without judgement may as well be dead".

Wow. I just realized there isn't a single individual in politics that I hate. Damnit! I've officially become a moderate. I think Rush Limbaugh warned me about that.

Wait! I do hate Rush Limbaugh. Phew! I thought I was losing it there for a minute.

LOL ~ I had faith in you, Minion ~ nice to see you back ~

Sooz

MINION!!!! how are you, darlin????

Hey guys! I'm good. How are you?

surviving the old fashioned way- one day at a time.

1. Newt Gingrich....a very dangerous man

2. Carl Levin.....makes a mountain out of a mole hill and twists and omits to make everything fit their agenda....which is very dangerous

3. Rush Limbaugh/Anne Coulter....Liars and shephards of an ignorant flock...very dangerous men

4. Dr Savage....Whoaaaaaaaaa...that man is so warped it isn't even funny. Not just dangerous but instigates violence all the time. Usually comes out during a heated rant.

5. Anyone that repeats the talking points of the above. Can only prove with articles and clips of those from above.

I don't really hate anyone. I can honestly say that. Hate is something that is learned and my parents nor any of the people that have made an impact on my life taught me to hate. But the above mentioned people could get me to that point.

Semantics perhaps, but for me there are varying degrees and "hate" is just a tad above my limit. Don't forget that I'm most likely using the translation of my "other" language's word for "hate", and there "Hass" has some really ugly meanings.

Let me be the controversial one then:

I freely admit I hate most of those. I hate liars and intentional idiots (I don't believe that Rush, Coulter, etc. are actual idiots, I think they are smart people). They preach hate, they wallow in it and they make significant money out of it. Therefore I just hate them back.

I have no patience for their fans, either, but I am an "elitist". I see no reason why I should respect a dumb a**wipe and why I should accept that they are "equal". They aren't. They are just dumb a**wipes.

Agreed, they are. I despise these peddlers of hate, and I despise those that are so willingly led by them.

this is precisely where i stand. for those that love, and equal measure in return. ditto for those that hate. i owe no tolerance to the intolerant.

i will tell you how it is different! they hate ENTIRE CLASSES OF PEOPLE! that is unfair. if you hate THEM for it, it is totally fair. fairness is the difference. qed.

I wasn't commenting on you. I was stating how I feel and I think you feel much the same.

I think many so-called 'christians' misunderstand the meaning of "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name." I think that verse also means that you can't use the name of the 'lord' to prop up your false notions. You can't use the name of god to make money. You can't use the name of god to prop up you prejudices and your politics.

The verse says that god won't acquit you of those sins.

Many people join with a religious faith because of insecurity in a dangerous and uncertain world. Their beliefs are rooted in faith, not logic and because of that, there is little chance to have a meaningful dialogue with them. This is especially true when two different religions come into conflict with each other.

I see that as the root of the problem with conservative faiths. Their adherents are capable of flying planes into buildings, blowing up abortion clinics and murdering those they think are worthy of death. It becomes easier if those people are not of their 'faith'.

their hate is bigotry- because they hate people that they don't even know, just because they are "liberals" or "Mexicans". yours is not.

"Suffer the little children to come unto me" is one of the most destructive forces in America.
