Hate

I cannot say I hate anyone. I posted a Martin Luther King Jr. quote on my Facebook Monday to that point...hate takes so much work. Now I can vehemently disagree with someone or even deeply dislike to the level of disgust a person's actions... But to hate a person... I just refuse to be that way and it is hard to understand hate for me... Talking last night, I thought about the pure hatred some people have for our president and it worries me. Granted, part of it bothers me because they accuse him if "socialism" and "communism" when I'm pretty sure they mean Fascism and they paint him as "hitler" while displaying an obvious lack of historical knowledge and a great deal of hubris about their painstakingly wrong assumptions... But underneath it all is hate, pure unbridled hate... Coming from a lot of people who by the open admittance of their dedication to belief and God, should not have hate in their hearts... That being said this is NOT a rant against faith and I politely ask no one use my blog as a platform for religion bashing because I know many devoted and faithful people who work tirelessly to spread acceptance and love... I'm just saying these people who tout hate need to embrace their faith. If our president was white and had a different name,... I don't think it would be as much of an issue and that is painful.
