Why They Hate Us

A stench of hatred was in the air, so palpable you could taste it. How anyone could feel such animosity toward people they’d never met, who’d done nothing but lead their lives in a way that harmed no one but did not conform to the world view of the man who wished to see them gone is something rational people cannot comprehend.

More confusing still was how that man and his likeminded comrades, so full of contempt for their fellow man, had obtained positions of power and gotten their leader twice elected president of the United States.

From President Obama and Hillary Clinton to Senate Democrats and the media, there is nothing out of bounds when it comes to what a progressive liberal can accuse a Republican of doing.

If you only watch network news and read the New York Times you easily could come away with the impression that last Sunday morning a conservative Christian man, draped in crosses and screaming “Make America Great Again,” walked into a gay bar and murdered 49 people on direct orders from Republican National Committee headquarters located in the basement of the National Rifle Association’s headquarters, naturally, in a space they rent from Fox News.

What kind of sick monsters blame the horrific actions of one man on their political opponents? A lot of them, it turns out.

To call the Orlando killer a man is being generous; he’s a now-rotting pile of human garbage stuffed with animal excrement. He also was, unquestionably, a radical Islamo-fascist committing a coward’s act against unsuspecting, unarmed people. Not sure why radical Islam deifies those who slaughter the defenseless – do they really think God looks fondly on the equivalent of pushing grandma down the stairs?

Although the poltroon declared his reasons, unambiguously, to the police and a local news station, Democrats saw an opportunity to advance their agenda of limiting the rights of all Americans. Ignoring the truth, every branch of the progressive left simultaneously and sanctimoniously struck the same cord – it was the gun’s fault.

There are as many, if not more, guns in this country than there are people. Yet, seemingly miraculously, if you believe the left, all but a rounding error percentage of gun owners manage to resist the urge to use that inanimate object to kill. Despite the “homophobic culture” leftists believe Americans live in, real “hate crimes” are rare.

In 2014, there were 1,402 reported “hate crimes” against homosexuals. The FBI defines a hate crime as “as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” When you divide the population of the country by the number of anti-gay hate crimes reported, you have to go 6 zeroes past the decimal point before you hit a number, .000004. Hardly an epidemic.

The Orlando monster may have targeted the Pulse nightclub because it was a gay club (though he scouted Disney World too), but he committed his cowardly act because of radical Islam.

It’s more likely he wanted a soft target with the potential for a large body count with little resistance. People crammed into a small, loud, dark space presented just that.

Yet Democrats would have you believe somehow this jihadi wasn’t spurred to action through radical Islam, but Christianity and conservatism. That attempt is its own breed of evil and can come about only through pure hatred.

Pure hatred is the currency of the Democratic Party in the 21st century. Democrats try to blame their political opponents for every act of evil or terrorism committed on US soil. The media parrots these nefarious charges as gospel. The truth eventually comes out but only after the lie has taken root with many.

That’s how a registered Democrat and radical Islamist walks into a gay bar and murders dozens, and the debate focuses on the NRA and conservatives. The “grand lie” of Democrats becomes the narrative, so much so that when Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., states “due process is what’s killing us now,” it’s viewed as unremarkable by the media. The constitutional guarantee of a presumption of innocence until proven guilty was cast away like a dented penny into a fountain, and journalists treated it as a non-event.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., launched a coordinated filibuster to demand all Americans have their rights curtailed as punishment for the horrific actions of one person. The government doesn’t make all children wards of the state because one parent was neglectful, but all Second Amendment rights must be squeezed because one angry, evil man did wrong.

As the Washington Examiner’s David Freddoso put it, “Not since Strom Thurmond had anyone seized the Senate floor for so long to deprive Americans of constitutional rights.”

Murphy mournfully recalled the memories of the children murdered in Newtown, then danced on their graves and those of the victims in Orlando by sending a fundraising email for Hillary Clinton on the subject the very next day.

Shameless. But not a bit surprising. Emboldened by their protectors with press passes, there is nothing they won’t exploit; nothing sacred or out of bounds.

The ends justify the means for the political left – and always have. Motivated by hate – for opponents, the Constitution and anyone who won’t submit to their belief of moral and intellectual superiority – there is no depth to which they will not sink, no pile of bodies on which they will not dance to advance their agenda. In then end it’s sad, it’s disturbing, it’s fascistic, and it’s progressive…and we are not, which is why they hate us.

An Israeli politician said, “If the Muslims didn’t have us to hate they’d have to invent us.” Hate is probably the most powerful political tool. Let’s say the entire would suddenly turned Islamic. The religion is entirely hate based, so they would find some heretofore unnoticed reason to fall upon some segment and beat it to death. Then, they would find another segment until there was no civilization at all and everybody lived in tiny clan groups surrounded by walls built by other Islamic slaves.

The Democratic party’s identity politics is a slightly milder form of energizing the faithful with hate. Fortunately, many of these identity groups are not compatible and they are fighting amongst themselves. If conservatism has any sense left, we will come together behind whatever candidates are finally chosen as it is the only way to stop hate-driven politics.

The ends justify the means for the political left — and always have. Motivated by hate — for opponents, the Constitution and anyone who won’t submit to their belief of moral and intellectual superiority — there is no depth to which they will not sink, no pile of bodies on which they will not dance to advance their agenda. …
They have said as much for ages. (I’d put the word “superiority” in scare quotes, though.)
We must hate. Hatred is the basis of communism. Children should be taught to hate their parents if they are not communist.

— Lenin

We hate Christians and Christianity. Even the best of them must be considered our worst enemies. They teach love of one’s neighbor and mercy, which is contrary to our principles. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the revolution. Down with love of our neighbor. What we want is hatred. We must know how to hate. Only then shall we conquer the universe.

— Anatoly Lunacharsky

Hatred fosters vigilance and an uncompromising attitude toward the enemy, and leads to the destruction of everything that prevents Soviet peoples from building a happy life. The teaching of hatred for the enemies of the toilers enriches the conception of socialist humanism, by distinguishing it from sugary and hypocritical “philanthropy.”

— Small Soviet Encyclopedia (Moscow, 1947, vol. XI, p. 1045).

It is impossible to conquer an enemy without having learned to hate him with all the might of one’s soul.

— Stalin
How scarred would the souls of people who have been raised on such hatred be?

The sooner we realize this and turn their tactics against them, the better. We must stand up against them, even if our “leaders” won’t do it.

It is NOT a case of “two wrongs don’t make a right”; but rather, it is a matter of the republic surviving.

That is why there is an effort now to unite behind DJT.

National Palestinian Radio a few days ago was flummoxed as to the dirtbag’s motivation.

However, NPR was certain that islam had nothing to do with it.

America is the great satan.......the land of sinners.

America revels in sin. Just watch TV and movies. The president Bubba Clinton never drew a non sinner breath. The American cities are literally present day Sodom and Gomorrah on a scale making the Biblical locations trivial.

Those that hate sin, hate sinners.

While many consider America to be Christian, the visible truth is American cities are bastions of sin. Christians have become innured to the omnipresence of urban sin

The Islamic fundamentalist wackos hate sin and therefore the places of sin

Europe doesn’t get a pass either and may be actually worse but just not as high visibility

Orlando, that magnet for families turned out literally to be present day Sodom

Great article with one mistake.

Mr. Hunter calls it “radical Islam” when, in fact, Mateen was just following the dictates of Mohammad himself to slaughter unbelievers. Mateen was just being a follower of Islam in its purest form. There is nothing “radical” for a true follower of Mohammad to slaughter infidels.

Correct. Very good article. There is only a small minority of Christians who are truly want to live by Biblical teachings and are willing to sacrifice their lives to spreading the gospel. By the same token, there are only a small minority of Muslims (10%?) who are willing to live by the Koran and are willing to sacrifice their lives (in holy jihad) to spread the influence of Islam. Thankfully, most Muslims, like most people who call themselves Christians, don’t take their faith very seriously. The serious Muslims are dangerous because the Koran teaches to subdue, and sometimes kill, the infidels.

If this is the Derek Hunter who is a Baltimore talk radio show host, it’s too bad he is extremely anti-Trump.

They hate us because we have the white women.

Muslim - Arab - males are about as attractive as the goats they hump. In their “religion”, they are assigned a female. It’s about the only way they’re going to get one.

And she ain’t pretty. That’s why the veil, in addition to making her a prisoner.

It’s a dumbthug sexcult. Nothing more.

I don’t care why. If they choose to be a jihadee they deserve a few bits of lead in their demented cranium. End of story
