As the nation prepares for Christmas, it is worth noting that the "good will toward men" thing is fraying. First, the masculine noun is obsolete. It's now ladies, gentlemen, trans-ers, binary folks, on and on. Exhausting.
Then there's money. Not much cash in it for the goodfellows. Uh-oh. More noun problems. The point I'm trying to make is that hate sells, benevolence not so much.
Billions of dollars aid the Jihadists to this day. Their mandate is executing infidels. The brutal drug cartels make billions peddling poison and murdering people trying to stop them. The bad people industry is thriving.
Vladimir Putin is one of the wealthiest guys on the planet. Did you know that? He uses his dictatorial powers to shake down every industry in Russia. Get in his way, sayonara, baby. Putin's contempt for human life is staggering but also enriching.
Here in America, the hate groups have been largely marginalized. The Nazis, anarchists, and other destructive movements are not acceptable.
But media hatred has become commercialized. We all know the hate pushers. Some of them make millions.
Christmas honors the birth of Jesus, who was executed by haters. The Nazarene was clear: love your neighbor as yourself. No place for hate in that scenario.
But not much money in it, either.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
