Haters gonna hate. After winning four of five starts, Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has turned around a franchise. He hasn't won over his critics. Tebow's story of survival in the womb, his home-schooled background, and his public religiousity rubs some the wrong way. But what's really at work here is that good people make bad people uncomfortable. Read my column @ Human Events on how player hating doesn't stop at the playing field's sidelines.

A most excellent and timely offering.

Best line: “They flatter our egalitarianism and sense of superiority at once.”

In this current environment of diminishing standards and lower expectations, this is so true. And let’s not forget government’s and society’s attacks and underlying hatred for anything God. Today it seems all the rage for one to hate religion and make pariahs out of those who respect and practice their religious beliefs as it’s much harder to be good and a better human than it is to take the low road.

From a football standpoint, I have to agree with the critics though that TT is not the end all. His passing is most egregious and when he and his team face a better than average defense, they sputter.

No matter. I don’t think there is any question that the world would be a better place with more Tim Tebows.

Along these lines but in a different direction, it’s interesting to me that I hear similar criticisms of Mitt Romney that he is too perfect and that people can not relate to him because of that.

You would think that people would admire and want to emulate his kind of standards and behavior. But in this upside down world, people seem to prefer to have flawed people as the focus of their selection process.

Why is it that people are not inspired by those who demonstate higher ideals? I suppose it’s no wonder why we have who we have running this country into the ground.
