It is senseless to hate ignorance. People are not ignorant by choice. We are all born into a very dark and ignorant world. There are probably countless reasons why people are either condemned never to have a chance had any exposure to the light or not. Without the conscious effort of enlightened people wisdom would pretty much look like one extreme of a bell curve. I have no explanation why one person grows up with progressive wisdom and another in the darkness of fear and conformity typical of conservative thinking. We know that cities are more likely to produce liberal thinking and it may be due to the fact that people there are regularly exposed to a greater variety of of people making it harder for any one individual to fall into the pattern of think of him or her self as some kind of norm thereby causing less rigidity of thinking.

I certainly do not hate you. I see in you a person of character. You stand up for what you believe is the good and while it is unexamined in my opinion, and narrowly defined, it is still a good I believe in. It is quite stupid to judge people as evil because they have not seen more than their past will permit. Hate is a sickness.

The available evidence would indicate this is an "I hate republican's" forum. Before you ask, I have no issue with that, everyone needs a place where they can feel at home.
It's not a Republican haters forum, it's a 'people trying to take rights from others' haters forum. It's a 'people who are hypocrites' haters forum. Sometimes it's even a 'people who are sexual predators' haters forum.

And also a "I hate people who make claims that are either entirely meritless or fly completely in the face of all known relevant data" forum

It was intended as a tongue in cheek response.
I know, but some seriously think that way, or they think I'm painting the entire GOP with that brush. They'd be missing the irony naturally but subtlety has never been the strong suit of conservatives.
