14. I know plenty of Limbaugh Republicans, and I know very well why they

hold those political views. It's all based on hatred of various sorts. Racism is a big part of it, classism is another part. They have a general hatred for the poor, and they have this sense that they've lost something because of minorities.

I can empathize with them enough to see what their political ideas are rooted in, but I can't sympathize with them. Their political philosophy really is mostly built on hatred.
