Here it comes, again, folks: hate. Once again, members of not only the Left, but also the Right are attacking conservative talk radio. The charge? Hate speech. Specifically, they accuse such radio hosts as Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck of hating John McCain and illegal immigrants.

Have you ever noticed how short-term our memories are over a period of time?
Plato the philosopher once told a story of a man who was chained facing a wall in a cave, unable to turn his body or head in any direction. Behind him the cave sloped upwards toward the sun, but along the way were figures which would dance and move in the sunlight, casting shadows on the wall in front of the chained prisoner.
Until the second quarter of my third grade year, I was just a normal, blonde-haired, brown-eyed, middle-class kid; then, my parents got divorced. The funny thing was: my parents never fought. Besides the one time that Mom and Dad argued over what kind of cream cheese to buy from Wal-Mart, I had never witnessed them quarrel. The counselor always taught students how to deal with divorce when parents fought, but I had no idea what to do because my parents didn’t. It didn’t make sense. Why would my parents get divorced if they never fought? “We just fell out of love.” A few weeks after Mom moved out, she took her eight-year-old, blonde-haired daughter into the living room and made her different.

That list of people I hate is quite short; two names. Only two names on that list, both people that did terrible things to me that I have yet been able to forgive.
I've seen some hypocritical decisions in my time, but the latest news from China really takes the cake! In a recent 14 part regulation China's atheist leaders have once again struck a blow at Tibet's Buddhas, stating that "the so-called reincarnated living Buddha without government approval is illegal and invalid" (Macartney, 2007).
