Kind to the Cruel - Cruel to the Kind

Moral people must learn how to hate

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach has a column at worldnetdaily.com that I wish more people would read and understand. He discusses the difference between "turning the other cheek" and hating enemies of God. The Rabbi has enunciated very well my own take on this delicate subject matter. In this day and age, we have a 60s hang-over even yet when it comes to loving our enemies/hating our enemies. Are there those I hate? Oh, yes!

Rabbi: "The old saying is right: Those who are kind to the cruel end up being cruel to the kind."

Think about this. Let it roll around in your brain. It's the foundation for - All it takes for evil to fluorish is for good men to remain silent.

Can one draw distinctions? Caveats? Of Course! But as a rule, those caveats should be VERY limited. The mother who most recently hacked off her own baby girl's limbs? I hate what she did. I'd be hard pressed not to hurt this mother, myself. Her evil against an innocent is abhorent to me. Was she insane? Well, duh! In my book anyone who commits atrocities against innocents are insane. Insanity belongs to the Devil. Therefore, I totally despise and scorn court rulings of "temp insanity" which continue to aid and abet wrongdoing against inocents. Just make a damned sentence of guilt, throwing away the "insanity" plea, and let's get on with a more just society, for cryin' out loud!!!

But do I hate this mother? Just thinking of her brings furious bile to my throat, my teeth clenching in anger; but no, I don't hate her. Would I be able to harshly sentence her crime (even to death sentencing) regardless of defense lawyering tricks? YEPPERS! And I'd throw the book at her HARD. Anyone harming an innocent, taking advantage of innocents -- with my dying breath would I, do I fight.

And then, take the case of say, Saddam Hussein. He with conscious forethought systematically murdered many thousands of innocent people. He, I hate.

Do I hate Nancy Pelosi? No. I think she's deluded. She spews lies; but her lies come from her utter sense of "non" sense. Then there are those politicians who deliberately lie. Do I hate them? Yes, and because they are obscuring truth and honesty. Right now, in Los Angeles, with lots of hospitals closing... the radicals are using the "racism" crocky to keep those hospitals open. I come pretty close to "hating" them, and because they are perpetuating a lie. The hospitals are not closing due to "racism". And these radicals know this. Now where is that article!!! rats.

And then there's "MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL". grr. I grew up loving Basketball, playing it, going to Oakland Warriors games. Wilt Chamberlin. Harlem Globetrotters. Yep, I was the Fan!

But how do some show their "hate"? They riot. They spit, they batter, they break laws. They create the climate of hostility, mistrust.. and work to break down the coda of civility. This is wrong.

What the wise and smart do better -- they uphold the coda of civility while working to make the laws clearer, better, more just. And they don't try to pull an ACLU sneaker and squeeker in appointing their "own" to run every darned thing under the sun. The ACLU is about money and power and anti-Americanism. The only times they uphold something sensible, in my many years' observation, is when it will serve them later in pulling a major scam. They build upon the "case" wherein they appeared reasonable, and link back to it while they pull their newer "hate America" con.

The "hate" jazz has gotten a nasty rap. Say the word "hate" -- and it conjures, well.. liberals, to most Americans. Let us be clear about this. "Hate" is a dish served cold. It isn't that playground ugly behavior of thugs and anti-Americans. That's just riotous temper tantrum behavior out of those who refuse to mature. But "real" hate? It's very cold, clear and renders definite and positive results. It's an interesting zen move: One loves God so thoroughly one cannot abide evil, will not abide evil. That's the clear source of genuine "hate". The one we usually see on display comes not from this source; but from a "sidekick". Therefore, their display of "hate" is repulsive, not clear, not decisive, but encourages conflict.


Now look at this "hate Bush" jazz. Is that clean or clear? Does it encourage you to hate President Bush? No. The sheer ugliness of the "hate Bush" people is what belies their so-called "hate". It is clear these folks are hating themselves, most of all, and spewing and projecting upon others. Isn't that what batterers and abusers do? Yes. They "hate" themselves therefore they batter others because the burden of hating themselves is intolerant and too heavy for them to bear.

Enter the "help" industries. ick. But they are good if they are very clear about pointing out this self-deception to the anti-Bushies. If they aid and abet this "hate"... then they are being...

"kind to the cruel in order to be cruel to the kind.
