Love That Hate!

This article is a riveting and refreshing point of view that leaves us asking more questions then it answers.

" By Paul Kengor

We must teach our children to hate," Vladimir Lenin instructed his education commissars. The Bolshevik godfather declared that hatred was not only "the basis of communism" but "the basis of every socialist and Communist movement."


Class envy has been a defining staple of the left for centuries, from the frenzied mobs leaping around the French guillotines to the Soviets to, well, the new masses circling AIG executives today. The difference is merely the degree of response -- a question of socially acceptable force or violence.
Historically, this behavior is both foreign and antithetical to the American experience. Unfortunately, modern Americans don't understand their founding and the nation's core principles -- our educational system doesn't teach those things. Thus, they are now voting, and behaving, in kind. And we are now witnessing our own homegrown socialist movement in action, inspired by hate.

There is very little "hating for God" when you really do have a "there but for the Grace of God go I" attitude about other people.

SMMA59, "hating for God" requires an objective consciousness or you just succumb to hating what your complexes lead you to hate- whatever arouses your feelings of inferiority or whatever in your sympathy to it threatens your membership in the group.

Hate is actually not as necessary as all that.
