When did so many (not all) "christians" become hateful psychopaths?

69. Problem is, when they read such, they see THEMSELVES, not others as the blessed ones...

I mean, there's your problem right there. They think they are mourning (for the moral degradation of this country), they think they are meek, they think they hunger and thirst after righteousness, they think they are merciful (to those who deserve mercy--like, say, someone who was liberal, saw the light and asks forgiveness, right?). They think they are pure in heart, they even think they are "peacemakers" (they aren't causing class warfare!). And they absolutely think they are being persecuted for righteousness sake, reviled and having evil done against them falsely.

So, there's no use having them re-read this in hopes they'll see the light. When they read it, they cast themselves as the blessed ones, not as the ones doing the persecuting. This is the problem with trying to change people's minds with literature. Unlike science, which pretty much forces you to see the evidence, like it or not, literature allows you to see whatever you want to see. Christ, after all, doesn't define what 'righteousness" is, and so anyone can define themselves to victory using this.
