@OKgazette Editorial on @News9's #KellyOgle shows how #Enmity Knocks Out Your Sense of Balance - #Enemy #Enemies

NOTE: The editorial isn't by Oklahoma Gazette, though the writer is its Editor-in-Chief; and the commentary he's discussing 'is not necessarily the opinion of the KWTV 9 family' either.)

The article (linked through the 'built' word below) 'calls out' anchorman Kelly Ogle because of his non-judgmental assessment (in his commentary, "My Two Cents") of a few conflicts between 'honest people' (The Press or The U.S. Legislative Branch) & the then-current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. (Washington D.C.).

The commentary-ator comes to his judgment with the position of 'Trump is a racist liar—our enemy, whom we need to hate & berate as much as possible!' Kelly comes from one more like mine: 'Blaring "How much you hate the Orange Blob" is not instrumental in living a peaceful & prosperous life.'

I see it all the time online—in Facebook-groups that claim to be about 'political discussion,' people will post "news"-stories about the latest 'terrible thing' Trump did; and my reply about how "they're judging him without all the facts" is met with caterwauling about 'how I must be some kind of Trump-devotee' (which I AM NOT!)

But 'idiots' (not necessarily "low IQ" or "uneducated," but rather 'hateful' ... hate makes idiots of us all) can't comprehend how any member of one team can cheer for the other team. They can't follow the music unless the key is Major (a happy-fun song) or Minor (a battle hymn).

That word (the 'built' one below)—there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...

The word “Enmity” is built on “Not + to Love” (|Hostility).

You know something about that word-history that

 I don't mention (and that probably isn't mentioned

 below)? 'Fill us in on it'- or just tell me what you

 think (or ask me about something in this- or another-

word that confuses you) with a comment below,
