It's Time To Recognize Who The Real Haters In Our Country Are

David Limbaugh’s piece today at Town Hall focuses on who the real haters are in this nation … and they damn well don’t reside on the right side of the political spectrum. As Limbaugh so aptly points out, the nasty, mean-spirited rhetoric, the desire to harm people for exercising their religion and the efforts to smear a certain group of people are coming from leftist activists against Christians, not Christians against gays. Those are indeed the facts.

Limbaugh writes:

One may reasonably wonder whether the militant left in this country is solely dedicated to manufacturing issues to keep the nation in a constant state of uproar, angst and disharmony. We’re seeing lots of negativity and intolerance from those so concerned that we all love one another.

Their most recent cause for hysterical urgency is Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The left has gone absolutely bonkers attempting to paint that legislation as a license for Christians to discriminate against gays for sport and is smearing anyone who supports it as a reactionary bigot.

Don’t you long for those days when words had meaning? Now we have propagandists whose principal job is to deceitfully distort word meanings to promote their causes.

A few examples in the context of the issue at hand are “hate,” “homophobe,” “discrimination” and “anti-.” People who oppose same-sex marriage do not fear or hate people who are gay. They are not advocating discrimination against them, and they are not against them.

These calculated distortions have had an enormous impact on our culture, infecting even people who should know better. Now enshrined in our popular culture, these misrepresentations affect the way people think (which is the whole point, of course) and lead to imputed motives with no basis in fact.Read the whole thing here …

So as we anxiously await with bated breaths, when, if ever, will our Republican politicians have the backbone to stand up for what is right on this issue and vindicate religious liberty?
