I resent the following list of infringements on my sensibilities. To heck with the Constitution, nobody cares about infringements on that anyway, so let’s just stick to what feels good – shall we?
I resent living in a country where the legal murder of innocent unborn children is practiced on a daily basis. If you want to kill your own kids or administer to someone else this deadly service, you are making me physically uncomfortable, hurting my feelings and putting my own family in jeopardy because they are sickened by it too. Therefore, you should have no legal right to do it. Your choices are NOT more important than my feelings and your twisted logic will never make it so.
I resent living in constant danger because I have no legal right to carry my gun around with me wherever I go with no fear of being arrested and having my gun confiscated for doing so. This makes me sick with fear when I have to drive around at night or go into dangerous places of business in broad daylight where crimes might be committed, like banks or airports, shopping districts, churches or especially public schools! I cannot adequately protect myself or others from assault by criminals with guns if I cannot carry my own! It is an affront to my sensibilities that you would think I would harm anyone, so your position of “public safety first” makes no sense and does nothing to soothe my hurt feelings.
I resent the ongoing assault on my womanhood by a deranged bunch of feminists who think you know better than I what is good for me. This in-your-face attitude of gender equality that you espouse hurts my feelings. I know that I can never physically hope to do everything that a man can do, and I also know there are things I can do that men can’t. There is nothing “equal” about that except in value to humanity, so it hurts my feelings that you feminists and the beleaguered men who support your unfair views constantly insist that I stand up for my equality while you trample on my personal values.
I resent the constant interference with my parenting authority. Having to abide by so many child safety laws that I do not agree with or choose to ignore and have to justify that to my children is terribly uncomfortable to me. You have made it all but impossible for me to have the last word on how I care for my children’s health and welfare, not to mention their education - unless I take the chance that one day you will decide that my individualistic views are not in their best interest and remove them from my home. I fear that a lot more than any parental inadequacies I may have. My feelings are in constant turmoil over it!
I resent the attention you give to my use of legal tobacco products as irresponsible, unhealthy, and bad for society while you insist on my tolerance of perverted sexual “lifestyles” that ARE irresponsible, unhealthy and very bad for society. This tolerance is bought at the risk of putting the lives of my children in danger from deviants and the diseases they carry as well as the sickness of mind and body that they espouse. I cannot even be assured that a food handler in a public restaurant has tested negative for a sexually transmitted disease, but you insist that they test negative for TB. You bring outside “authorities” into my children’s schools to preach to them about the evils of my smoking while also introducing them to the depraved, unnatural sexual “choices” available to them. I am sick to death of your inconsideration of my feelings on this one!
I resent that you restrict my language to accommodate the sensibilities of all the races, cultures, and religions that have assimilated in my country, founded by members of my race and my religion who handed down my culture over the past centuries. This is direct insult to everything I am, and it damned well hurts my feelings!
After a lifetime of traveling all over this country, I really resent that now I do NOT feel free to move safely within her vast borders because you wanted to restrict my choices so you could have a bogus sense of security. I can’t fly anywhere without subjecting myself to proven incompetent personnel who may search my person and my possessions at will as they delay my travel for hours. If I choose to drive my own vehicle, I must break several of your so-called safety laws that I find too dangerous to comply with, and there is not one civil liberties’ member that would make a single phone call in my defense if I am arrested.
I am a victim here! Is anybody hearing me? I’m hurting! And now, even if I had vast sums of cash, I couldn’t buy a politician’s vote when the timing was right! Hell, I’m not even sure if JJ can afford to publish this last ditch effort at free speech without he and I both getting into hot water! Good thing at least y’all are trying to get it so my prescription drugs will be paid for in a few years – I’m sure by then some psychiatrist will have put me on a whole slew of antidepressants, because I’m really, really sick!
I think that about sums it up.
I'm sorry, but I've come to believe, just as a point of principle, that conservatives and republicans should never utter this phrase, even if put to the torture...

It is really time to take the country back from the whacko's in a parallel Universe, who are making us all sick and miserable and unsafe..
Good Job Deborah!!!
When I said "put to the torture," I meant even in parody. (These days, humor hurts.) You need to read my posts with feeling, too...

YEP IT FITS
Hi Deb: Great article! I read it on the FreeRepublic. Keep 'em coming!
Battle the baby killers. Outlaw abortions, campaign for term limits, reform our tax system, sink the corrupt teachers' union by passing school vouchers. Hell let's privatize the Post Office and go back to making the airlines pay the salaries of their Clintoneque gropers. Let's take back out country. You're terrific Deb! luv ya.
yeah, me too! Good article.
Be Well...
Okay, fine.
A couple of questions, however. First, what better way to illustrate absurdity than by being absurd? Lastly, when will we conservatives come to realize that the Left fights us using dirty tactics because they know we won't get down in the gutter with them? In other words, when will we realize that they are using our "principle(s)" against us?
