Being hated is cool

[salinen]

I understand why RWer's like this era of hatred

- No need for compassion, cooperation, empathy, or feeling equivalent to other people. That's hard work.

- It separates them from the slime. Non-Christian morally depraved foreigners lacking family values.

- It justifies psychotic behavior. "The others must be out of their minds to not believe the earth is 6000 years old."

- The punishment of non-likables is pleasing. Just look in the eyes of Hannity, Coulter, Novak, and B.O.

- A general hated for foreigners and foreign ideas is necessary - who bombs friends?

5. The Myth of National Victimhood

Read this article, Thom Hartmann explains it REAL well:

The Myth of National Victimhood - All Wrapped and Delivered for Christmas
by Thom Hartmann

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1220-20.htm

It's Christmas week - Adolf Hitler's favorite season after he declared an official merger of church and state - and, ironically, conservatives are using the occasion to mount a new and bizarre attack.

They said liberals are out to destroy Christmas. Cobbling together a few anecdotes (unsupportable attacks are always anecdote-based), they managed to imply a vast anti-Christian conspiracy bubbling just under the belly of America, and pushed that frightening implication into the minds of millions of Americans just in time for the holiday season.

Conservatives must constantly attack others (and focus on "morality") to keep hidden their own true agenda, which is no less than a return to the world of Scrooge & Marley, Inc. They're working to bring about a return to Robber Baron feudalism, with a stable, rich, and powerful ruling class, and an impoverished, frightened, and politically impotent working class.

But for conservatives to keep the loyalty of the working-class victims of their policies (which are shipping American jobs overseas, while fighting unions and minimum-wage increases here), they must convince people that there is a "them" out there - liberals in this case - who are out to destroy America's moral fiber and are thus responsible for working-class misery.
