Why the left really, really hates us
The Washington Times ^ | May 14, 2013 | R. Emmett Tyrrell

hey do not like conservatives very much. In fact, they come to an immediate boil when we enter their admittedly limited range of perception. It all began back in the 1960s when radical thought gained a footing with American liberals.

By 2012, the left, led by their leader, the improbable president Barack Obama, completely took over the Democratic Party. These people are not like the liberals, who, while condescending to conservatives, did not hate us. These left-wingers really do hate us. That is why not much in the way of compromise can be achieved in Congress.

I know we are very likable people. We do many good works. We are kind to children and to household pets, but the left hates us. That is the way it is today. The left rarely has any dealings with conservatives whatsoever. On a growing list of issues, from guns to affirmative action to whatever militant homosexuals want, the very mention of our side of the issue brings the left to a boil. Talk radio brings the left to a boil. Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin can sally forth into comedic genius. I laugh. You laugh. Even a moderate laughs. Yet the left-wingers see no humor at all, and they have even tried to limit talk radio’s First Amendment rights.

Leftists, liberals, moonbats, Marxists, Communists, pinkos, hippies, low-info-voters, gimmedats, Obots, gubmint woikas, academics, actors, Democrats ----

What the hell's the difference???

They're all on the same team, and they all hate our guts.

Mark Levin is my favorite. He is the talker who I think is most aligned with how I think on the issues. But when I step back and try to listen to him from a liberal standpoint, he is unlikable.

Ever taken ten minutes to listen to (or watch) Chris Matthews, Ed Shultz, Keith Olbermann, or Rachel Maddow?

You wanna talk about vein bursting hatred and putrid frothings of the mouth - they're the very definition. Sorry, but there's more hate and mindless screeching coming from those few liberals than from all of our talkers put together.

Psalm 94

1 The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?

4 They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They crush your people, Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.
6 They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;
he knows that they are futile.

12 Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
the one you teach from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.

20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21 The wicked band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.

That’s why they hate us. Their master hates all things of God.

That’s because they have the same enemy - America.

I am not afraid of what the radicals will do/want to do to us... I am afraid that nobody will care

Armed citizens only have power during a revolt; that’s warfare.

What we’re facing now is lawfare. For now, the liberals have NO fear of conservatives.

I agree. I’ve only seen them each briefly, but it was enough to gag me completely. I think they serve a purpose, too. I guess the point I was trying to get at is that most of the people on our side look like Matthews, Shultz, etc. to the liberals. But we have very few who have the softer or more humorous touch that might draw them in.

Are you saying they’re so narrow minded that their scratch pads are a half inch wide?
