“Christians love saying they do not hate the sinner, only the sin, but it is the sinner whom they burn at the stake (to save his soul, the ultimate “tough love”). We progressives do not hate the Republican Crusaders, we only hate their hard-hearted pride, their greed, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobic racism, arrogant jingoism, blatantly flaunted hypocrisy, and their anti-science, anti-history, anti-medicine, anti-education, anti-intellectual, and anti-social attitude. Politically, we believe these characteristics are not beneficial in holders of high office in this diverse nation of open-minded, well-educated, and socially conscious people, no matter how sincerely they believe in their moral superiority, or the authority they believe that entitles them to take.”
