Why They Hate Us (Short answer: Because of who we are)
American Thinker ^ | 09/18/2012 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 09/18/2012 6:30:34 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The spreading and sprawling map of open violence against America around the world and the surreal spectacle of federal agents investigating an obscure Christian filmmaker as the cause of this violence ought to make us reflect: why do they hate us? Why do they hate America? Why do they hate Israel? What have we done, except to exist and be happy, to offend them?

It is vital in asking this question to know just who "they" are. An easy and incomplete answer is "radical Islam" or just "Islam." But in fact, we are hated not just by radical Muslims, but by profoundly secular forces in the Arab World: the Ba'ath Party, for example, was the brainchild of an Arab Christian. We are hated by the remnants of the hoary tomfoolery of Marx, whose Soviet disciples have long called us, an ocean away, the "Main Enemy."

We are, of course, hated by Americans like Obama, who was nursed on malice towards his homeland and who grew up in the shadowy alternative universe in which anti-Americanism is dogma. Those who hate us and live within our midst include radical feminists incoherent with rage when speaking of the loving God of Christians and Jews and who consider his followers their worst foe, but who are docile as doves in dealing with the true misogyny of Marxist realms, radical Islam, or most old-world social systems like foot-binding, the Suttee, and the near-slavery of women in Imperial Japan.

Those who hate us hate Israel, too. Colonialism is often cited as the reason, but that is profoundly silly. Israel was founded by immigrants who granted full citizenship to anyone, regardless of race or creed, who wished to become a citizen. America, alone among all the great powers, never build a vast empire like Britain, Turkey, China,

It's enough that we know they hate us. The why is irrelevant really. However, I want them to fear us.

Its important to know the WHY. The WHY explains the reason we can never trust Muslims and Islam - ever. Islam is like a long-lived version of NAZIsm with religion and politics replacing race as the driving factor.

And you ARE right. Only if they FEAR us will they respect us - just like the slinking jackels they are.

You got that right.

I don’t give a flying Ratz A if they hate me. I really hope that they DO hate me. Its their problem and they have to live with it.

Now, if they are stupid enough to act out this infantile hatred, then its all fair. ALL fair.

That’s what I’ve been telling liberals lately...especially those who are parroting the media/Obama administration’s line of, “the four Americans were killed in a spontaneous act of protest over a Youtube video!”

I then say so yes, you now agree with George Bush that Middle Eastern Muslims hate us for our freedoms (freedom of speech via youtube) and murdered an ambassador for it.

Throw their liberal BS back in their face.

The reason IMHO, all this middle east violence is because obama gloating over killing osama. That’s why at all these riots they’re chanting they’re all osama.

Islam is a war plan. Its intolerant goal is World domination.

And the left sides with them, for now, because of their common enemy, Christ.

That’s it exactly.

Nothing else explains the current full court press which is going on globally.

THAT will not change. Also, the creeps here who want more for nothing and who march in the streets rather than get gainful employment to take responsibility for themselves.

The lines are intentionally blurred so that it appears they share a common cause. They do not.

It is of course facilitated by the MSM which has forgotton how to research events/social movements and who refuse to remain professionally objective in the process.

They hate us because they know we are better than they are.
They know they are losers and can only compensate by hating us.

I don’t care as long as they fear us and right now they do not fear us.

“Why They Hate Us (Short answer: Because of who we are)”

Actually, I would put this the exact opposite. They hate us because of who THEY are. If it weren’t us, it would be someone else.

Very similar to the leftist mentality based on covetousness -

they don’t really want the wealth and prosperity that others have, they just don’t want them to have it either.

This is CORE to the leftist mindset.

I just caught an interview with Andrew C McCarthy on FNS, and he pretty much laid it out... From his upcoming book, "Spring Fever, The Illusion of Islamic Democracy." One quote from his web site that pretty much says it all:

"The first fundamental truth about the “Arab Spring” is that there never was one. The salient fact of the Middle East, the only one, is Islam. The Islam that shapes the Middle East inculcates in Muslims the self-perception that they are members of a civilization implacably hostile to the West. The United States is a competitor to be overcome, not the herald of a culture to be embraced."

Thanks for the thoughts.

I think they want the wealth and prosperity, they just don’t want to work for it. So the best they can do is sour grapes.

It is indeed the core of the leftist mindset.

“Want to be rich, do what rich people do; want to be poor, do what poor people do.”
