If you can set aside the boiling hypocrisy of the most hate-filled, angry people in the world railing against “hate”–what? You couldn’t set it aside? Oh, well, neither can I.
C.S. Lewis wisely observed that the robber takes what he wants and then goes away, you’re done with him; but the utopian busybody is never done with you.
So we have government busybodies and Big Tech busybodies and corporate busybodies whose main idea seems to be, “You don’t have God because there is no God, but you do have us!” They don’t understand what a lousy trade-off that is.
The point is: These prating schmendricks have no right to tell us what we ought to be; they have no right to tell us we can’t hate.
Hate is natural to us. It’s a part of us. A person without any capacity for hate would be emotionally incomplete. Not only do Far Left fumblers have no right to stop us from hating: it’s also impossible. That’s where the hypocrisy comes in. All they have to do, to understand that it’s impossible to get rid of hate, is look in the mirror. Hey! If you hated anyone as maniacally as the Loving Left hates Donald Trump, your family would urge you to seek help.
Watch these anti-haters go full-ballistic if you dare to say anything against “gay marriage,” transgender, Climbit Change, Obama, or any other of their multitude of sacred cows.
“Yeahbut, yeahbut, Jesus never hated!” (people who hate Christianity advising us how to be Christians)
Oh, yeah? Revelation 2: 20-23–
“[T]hou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death…”
We see from His words to John that Our Lord Jesus Christ hates fornication and idolatry, hates for them to be brought into His church, and if those who do it don’t stop doing it, and repent… He will destroy them.
The difference between Jesus and ourselves is that He hates what certain people do, and what they stand for, while we drift over into hating those persons themselves–forgetting that God will forgive them if they stop doing those things. God will wash them clean.
Well, we can’t do that. If we could, we wouldn’t have needed a Savior and God wouldn’t have sent us one. He knows our frailties.
Remember–many people have surely put “love” to improper uses, but nobody on NPR talks about abolishing love. There are those who’ve been destroyed by what they’ve made of love. But love is part of our humanity and cannot be removed.
If the busybodies could actually worm their way into our minds and scrub out all the thoughts and emotions that they think we shouldn’t have, they would surely do it.
But God, who could have done it if He pleased, has too much love and respect for us to take away our free will.
For that you need liberals.
Okay, I admit it — I hate rhubarb. So I’m a hater. Will the antifa blackshirts now come and try to beat me up?
Come to think of it, since the antifa goons like to dress in black, why HAVEN’T we begun to call them blackshirts? They certainly act like Mussolini’s blackshirts.
When they legislated hate crimes, that was the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent. Give these people an inch and they will push it until it is a mile. Ever wonder where their agenda will take us if they succeed? Look to Soviet Russia, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
Beautifully said, Lee! —I “hate” the Liberal Left, with its unceasing anger and maniacal acts of rebellion against all things Holy and Godly-In-Jesus (including being rabidly against those of us who are pro-Life/anti-abortion and straight)! I “hate” the Liberal Left, which mocks, and marches, and riots, and fights, and hates against our Country, our Flag, our sovereignty, our laws and our police officers, and which hounds and harasses our Biblically-guided conservative politicians! I “hate” the Liberal Left, which seeks to destroy and eliminate our God-given and fought-for American and Constitutional and Biblical rights, values, and blessings! The intolerant Liberal Left is an insidious, hateful blight upon this country! —I “hate” the Liberal Left with a righteous anger, but I don’t act violently upon that anger primarily because of JESUS! Instead, even as I complain against the Liberal Left, I pray continually for my Country, my Countrymen, our Armed Forces and police personnel, and for our Conservative politicians and our Conservative media (God bless Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Joe Pags, Ben Shapiro, Lee Duigon, et al. –not all of whom are Christians), and I pray especially for the protection of our God-placed President, Donald J. Trump! I pray that God continues to grant him, and all of them, uncommon wisdom and strength. —I also thank Jesus EVERY DAY for my salvation, and for His amazing grace!!! Without Him, I might have joined in the madness of progressive liberalism, like some of my siblings have: that madness is a sickness, and I know that Jesus is the cure. I’ve loved Jesus for over 50 years now… I’m glad I’m 69 years old… because, sooner than later, I’ll Fly Away… Oh, Glory!!! Then, at last, I’ll truly live in a better Country than the one in which I currently reside (which is the best on Earth, in my humble opinion!)
Whew! Well said.
I’m right with you, Steve Millen! It is sickening the way our educational system has turned against its own country. Karl Marx said the bottom line (my phraseology) of Socialism is “The abolition of all private property.” A belief like will inevitably end up in the shedding of blood.
