reviler

The mystery of the past week is why Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, decided, unbidden, to announce that the American right does welcome cranks—namely Tucker Carlson, lately a reviler of Israel, and Nick Fuentes, a racist provocateur most Americans had never heard of.

That is the ethic of self-emptying love — neither revile the reviler nor allow him to stay in his sin.

The grand jury satisfied themselves and their consciences simply by making a report in which they declared that my lecture had "no parallel in the habits of respectable vagabondism" that I was "an arch-blasphemer and reviler of God and religion," and recommended that should I ever attempt to lecture again I should be taught that in Delaware blasphemy is a crime punishable by fine and imprisonment.

This was more than he felt inclined to stand from any Westerner of his own weight, but it was clear that he could not rebuke his reviler fittingly until he reached the sloop and the veins swelled up on his forehead as he furiously plied the paddle.

Argue not with such; but some fair morning, when the reviler is most rampant, lead him gently into Mosedale and watch with calm delight while he pants painfully up the pass, trying his utmost to look cool, with the sun, which he has maligned, beating down squarely upon his back and exacting a merciless revenge.
