I "always" do this? Really? So in this thread somewhere? No?

I compare any government benefit to giving a child a free pet. Because it's the best example I can think of where we'd all agree that just because you oppose the government spending money on something that benefits some group, doesn't mean you hate that group.

That's entirely within your own imagination.

Even better when he's ironically insisting that he doesn't feel that way: "Just because I don't want homosexuals to have the right to legally marry the partner they love doesn't mean I hate them! I don't want to give every toddler a kitten either!"
And? It's a valid point. When someone's argument rests on the claim that if I don't want to grant marriage benefits to gay couples, it means that I hate homosexuals, it's perfectly legitimate to point to another case where I don't want my government to spend money providing something nice to a group but where it doesn't mean at all that I hate that group as a means of showing how illogical that argument is. Nothing ironic about it at all.
Do you think that the only reason for wanting to deny some government benefit for a group is because you hate that group? Cause that would be a fun one to try to defend.
