30. The hatred is basic.
Tue Dec 9, 2025, 04:29 PM
Dec 2025

Rural radio focused on getting people to hate. Hate anything and everything no matter how vague the reasoning or false the story.

As a child and on family vacations in the west I was in awe of the beauty of the land and figured that to be lucky enough to live in places of such beauty and living free would be heaven. I was so naive but not entirely wrong.

But talk radio, unburdened by any obligation to fairness or truth, has managed to create hatred out of paradise. Once established and ingrained ,all that then need be done is to give it direction. Hate John Kerry, hate Hillary, hate Obama, hate books and professors who make it so dang hard for a decent white working man to feed his litter. Hatred is the base and a valuable commodity.

Then comes Tulsa and Krystalnacht and Kent State and Mai Lai and Oklahoma City and January sixth and tsf with all his sad carnival.
