Someone explain why liberals aggressively pursue policies that devastate the very constituents they claim to try and help, and then somehow seem to feel like they own the compassionate high ground?

Can you provide some specific examples (and I mean quotes, not vague generalities) of things you have read here that you would label as "hate"?

Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr.,a forensic psychiatrist, explains the psychosis of liberalism in his 2005 book "The Liberal Mind". Below is an excerpt that, I think, answers your question. More at libertymind.com.
Like all other human beings, the modern liberal reveals his true character, including his madness, in what he values and devalues, in what he articulates with passion. Of special interest, however, are the many values about which the modern liberal mind is not passionate: his agenda does not insist that the individual is the ultimate economic, social and political unit; it does not idealize individual liberty and the structure of law and order essential to it; it does not defend the basic rights of property and contract; it does not aspire to ideals of authentic autonomy and mutuality; it does not preach an ethic of self-reliance and self-determination; it does not praise courage, forbearance or resilience; it does not celebrate the ethics of consent or the blessings of voluntary cooperation. It does not advocate moral rectitude or understand the critical role of morality in human relating. The liberal agenda does not comprehend an identity of competence, appreciate its importance, or analyze the developmental conditions and social institutions that promote its achievement. The liberal agenda does not understand or recognize personal sovereignty or impose strict limits on coercion by the state. It does not celebrate the genuine altruism of private charity. It does not learn history’s lessons on the evils of collectivism.
What the liberal mind is passionate about is a world filled with pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice. Those who occupy this world are “workers,” “minorities,” “the little guy,” “women,” and the “unemployed.” They are poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised, exploited and victimized. They bear no responsibility for their problems. None of their agonies are attributable to faults or failings of their own: not to poor choices, bad habits, faulty judgment, wishful thinking, lack of ambition, low frustration tolerance, mental illness or defects in character. None of the victims’ plight is caused by failure to plan for the future or learn from experience. Instead, the “root causes” of all this pain lie in faulty social conditions: poverty, disease, war, ignorance, unemployment, racial prejudice, ethnic and gender discrimination, modern technology, capitalism, globalization and imperialism. In the radical liberal mind, this suffering is inflicted on the innocent by various predators and persecutors: “Big Business,” “Big Corporations,” “greedy capitalists,” U.S. Imperialists,” “the oppressors,” “the rich,” “the wealthy,” “the powerful” and “the selfish.”
The liberal cure for this endless malaise is a very large authoritarian government that regulates and manages society through a cradle to grave agenda of redistributive caretaking. It is a government everywhere doing everything for everyone. The liberal motto is “In Government We Trust.” To rescue the people from their troubled lives, the agenda recommends denial of personal responsibility, encourages self-pity and other-pity, fosters government dependency, promotes sexual indulgence, rationalizes violence, excuses financial obligation, justifies theft, ignores rudeness, prescribes complaining and blaming, denigrates marriage and the family, legalizes all abortion, defies religious and social tradition, declares inequality unjust, and rebels against the duties of citizenship. Through multiple entitlements to unearned goods, services and social status, the liberal politician promises to ensure everyone’s material welfare, provide for everyone’s healthcare, protect everyone’s self-esteem, correct everyone’s social and political disadvantage, educate every citizen, and eliminate all class distinctions. With liberal intellectuals sharing the glory, the liberal politician is the hero in this melodrama. He takes credit for providing his constituents with whatever they want or need even though he has not produced by his own effort any of the goods, services or status transferred to them but has instead taken them from others by force.
It should be apparent by now that these social policies and the passions that drive them contradict all that is rational in human relating, and they are therefore irrational in themselves. But the faulty conceptions that lie behind these passions cannot be viewed as mere cognitive slippage. The degree of modern liberalism’s irrationality far exceeds any misunderstanding that can be attributed to faulty fact gathering or logical error. Indeed, under careful scrutiny, liberalism’s distortions of the normal ability to reason can only be understood as the product of psychopathology. So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche. The modern liberal mind, its distorted perceptions and its destructive agenda are the product of disturbed personalities.
As is the case in all personality disturbance, defects of this type represent serious failures in development processes. The nature of these failures is detailed below. Among their consequences are the liberal mind’s relentless efforts to misrepresent human nature and to deny certain indispensable requirements for human relating. In his efforts to construct a grand collectivist utopia—to live what Jacques Barzun has called “the unconditioned life” in which “everybody should be safe and at ease in a hundred ways”—the radical liberal attempts to actualize in the real world an idealized fiction that will mitigate all hardship and heal all wounds. (Barzun 2000). He acts out this fiction, essentially a Marxist morality play, in various theaters of human relatedness, most often on the world’s economic, social and political stages. But the play repeatedly folds. Over the course of the Twentieth Century, the radical liberal’s attempts to create a brave new socialist world have invariably failed. At the dawn of the Twenty-first Century his attempts continue to fail in the stagnant economies, moral decay and social turmoil now widespread in Europe. An increasingly bankrupt welfare society is putting the U.S. on track for the same fate if liberalism is not cured there. Because the liberal agenda’s principles violate the rules of ordered liberty, his most determined efforts to realize its visionary fantasies must inevitably fall short. Yet, despite all the evidence against it, the modern liberal mind believes his agenda is good social science. It is, in fact, bad science fiction. He persists in this agenda despite its madness.
So is my hatred of entitled liberal ******** who insist on ruining everything for everyone else just because they can't get laid in a whorehouse.

It is disappointing that, while we were commiserating with Ms Fluke's quest for free "birth control", we couldn't accommodate the needs of her "male" counterparts. Although it wasn't clear why she might ever have need of "birth control".

do you bowl?
You know you'd hit that Supe.
I'd hit that.
As a Christian, I aim to live by the "love my neighbor" lifestyle. Regardless, of creed, color, location or opinion...
It's very tough at times, but, I am striving towards that goal.

I hate evil and highly oppressive ideologies. I do not hate people. I may hate what they have become through evil.

Let us examine your first "question" as you state it. You say it "seems" like everyone here hates something, and a few "seem" to hate everything.
judg·ment
ˈjəjmənt/Submit
noun
noun: judgement
1. the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.
Are you not judging your fellow posters with your very first statement? Is such a judgement acceptable? If YOU can judge others based on their actions, why shouldn't others judge you based on your actions?
Secondly you bring into question the origin of the hatred you observe. You offer that they may get it from their religion and then leave it open to any possibility. Here is the thing, everyone has a moral compass. It could be based on a number of things, for some it is society, experience, or how they feel. For others it is a doctrine such as The Bible, The Torah, The Quran, or even the U.S. Constitution. Here is another thing, society ALWAYS changes, Constitutions and laws sometimes change, but Scripture should NEVER change lest it be apostate.
Knowing where you derive your moral right and wrong from should give you a basis on which to JUDGE actions and words of those both for and against your personal belief system. To stand in opposition to another's said belief system does not ultimately mean hate, but rather disagreement. It is only when you take it to an (inward or outward) extreme that it can become hate.
I.E. I hate that the guy in front of me cut me off, but do I really hate him or just his actions? Am I wrong to hate his action, based on my judgement of his action, based on my knowledge of the laws and rules of driving? - Separating the act from the person is crucial. However remember our actions are ALL anyone has to decipher who we are. So to quote the bible "You will know them by their fruit." Fruit being a metaphor for actions.
You go on to state that your "religious practices" as well as that of your parents are about defeating hate and not letting it get the best of you. This is admirable, but only if sincere. Practice is the proper word, for in almost every practice is failure, and then reflection, and hopefully learning or elimination of said failure. However practicing is not its own motivation, and you must have a goal in mind. If as you say you are a Christian then eternity in Heaven would be this motivation. However you shouldn't feel that you or others have to achieve perfection to attain Heaven, rather be willing to suffer and struggle against sin allowing Christ's sacrifice to atone for your iniquities.
