hate is not our thing?
You must be new here if you believe that.
Hate is even MY thing, although I usually preach against it and am widely reviled for doing so. But it is hard for me to practice what I preach.
I do hate Governor Sam Brownback. I think he is evil. His policies are bad for our state, and Brownback is not honest in promoting them. How is that not evil?
But I also hate Obama and think he is evil too. He's simply lied to me too much. He promotes bad policies, evil policies, and then lies to sell them. Why am I supposed to NOT be pissed off about that? Am I just supposed to say "eh, what's a little inequality, what are a few lies among friends? It's all good. No big deal."

funny, it wasn't until Obama that I woke up to the fact that both parties are the same.

I Hated him and his smirk for 8 years. But it didn't last, like the hatred for Cheney.
