“Compassionate Conservatism” . . . 2

. . . is an oxymoron, as Colbert points out (video below the fold because it autoplays).

Hate sells. Conservatism sells hate, and conservatives eagerly buy it.

For the life of me, I do not understand how hate became a “Republican family value.”

    Maybe because it’s as old as human history. The Republicans are authoritarians and their followers. They see everything as two-sided, one or the other, white or black. When your mind works that way, hate is perfect for a one side of a coin philosophy, very clear, either us or -not us-.

    I get it in my head. I just can’t get it in my heart or my gut.

    It’s an awfully empty person who must fill up the void with hate.
