I certainly don't hate liberals since I passionately love quite a few of them. But I do hate liberalism when I believe it hurts people, however well intentioned it might be. Compassion can be giving people what they need and conservatives do that as efficiently and effectively as liberals do. But it is not compassion when good intention stifle the incentive or imperative for people to do what they need to do in order to do for themselves and achieve their potential. It is not compassion when it rewards poor choices and bad behavior to the point that such is encouraged.
Certainly there is name calling, exaggeration, and demonization evident in both the conservative and liberal camps. But I believe the average conservative does not exaggerate or demonize people, and it is intellectually dishonest to characterize any criticism or observations as exaggeration or demonization.
I feel this way about both parties! There really is not much difference between the two when it comes to behavior!
