What’s Worth Hating
Hate is something I am unfamiliar with.
From my 2024 eBook, Haters Will Hate This Book. I felt compelled to explore the difference between hating actions vs. people.
I do not practice hate. It is an emotion I feel lucky to be unfamiliar with. I am fortunate that I have never witnessed the murder of a family member, or the rape of some helpless female. I have never fought in a war and had to witness a man killed in action by another soldier or by a land mine or cannon shell. If I had I might harbor some degree of hatred.
If I were black and had to witness personal racial attacks or insulting bullying, I may have developed an attitude that could be described as hatred. I am sure those kinds of ugly human assaults happen to Asians, Arabs, and all manner of people who look or act differently. Do not infer that I am indifferent to bigotry. I avoid it, condemn it, and point it out when possible.
But I am not a bigot and because I was raised in a middle class, mostly white Christian neighborhood, I have no animosity in my makeup. That might sound unbelievable, but it is true.
I actually do not have anger, resentment or disrespect for minorities, LGBTQ+ folks, Islamists, or Jews. I fashion my perceptions based on how I interact with people, not their political or religious affiliations. I never ask anyone what their religion or sexual persuasion is, because I was taught those kinds of personal things are none of my business.
I start my interaction on the basis of mutual respect, until I am given reason to act otherwise.
In 2024 people like me, who make up the majority of Americans, are being accused of being bigoted White Supremacists. Just because we are white and fairly self directed, part of a nuclear family, and believe in God, we are being singled out and persecuted by our own co-citizens. Our American Family, led by indoctrinated, self absorbed Progressive Jihadists like Joe Biden, have chosen to attack MAGA Republicans and target us as the “single biggest threat to our Democracy” since the Nazis.
From my perspective, calling me names is one thing, but slandering me, attacking my integrity, my faith and family, and my patriotism, are altogether different forms of aggression. Those are fighting words. I don’t care if you want to enable your children to use drugs, abuse children and trade in sexual favors, that is your business, but don’t claim that I run with bigots. Don’t try to pull me and my family, and our Constitutional Republic into the gutter with you and your ilk. I am not having it and thank God millions of Americans before me were willing and able to stand up to Progressive Bullies who demand we think and act like they do.
In that sense, Joe Biden crossed that line, and lost what little respect I could muster for him.
Do I hate him? No. But I hate the fact that he can’t face the fact that his son has betrayed our country by trading favors for influence. That his son has broken dozens of gun laws, used underage women for sexual favors, and allowed his father to be compromised by the Chinese Communist Party. I hate the fact that our major media outlets are themselve complicit in enabling this creep to destroy our financial and international influence, and undermine our nation’s unity of purpose.
I do despise the man, because I believe he is competent enough to know what he is doing. He has no shame or conscience because of his complete acceptance of the Progressive Education Theory, and its political dogma, which absolves believers of any guilt.
It is his behavior and lack of self awareness that triggers me.
But I treat people like I would like them to treat me. When they treat me with no respect and in a passive aggressive manner, I will not forgive. I will not sit back and passively accept their violence on my existence.
That is not hate. Their ignorance is not worth my hatred.
