Oh! Ouch! You're stepping on my FEELINGS!

It is sickening that we have come to a point in our society where one can no longer voice an opinion that could potentially be perceived as intolerant by anyone on Earth. I simply do not understand this train of thought. I hear plenty of things, daily, that irk me to the bone, but I keep my mouth shut because it is everyone's (watch out, I'm gonna say it) GOD given right to speak their mind and exercise free will. Now what really torques me is that when those of us who respect others' right to free speech decide to take said liberty ourselves, we are verbally spanked for "ignorance" or "intolerance". I would like to take this opportunity to illustrate my point, at the expense of my dear blog buddy and friend, on her latest post and resulting comments.

So, for the sake of all that is free and legal, I have chosen to make today my own personal Day of Intolerance. Any of you who wish to adopt this day as your own, feel free to do so. I do not hold any patents or copyrights to this label, and I think this damned country needs a serious dose of reality such as this. The world is not a warm and fuzzy, hand-holding, kumbayah-singing, dope-smoking, love your domestic-partner, convenient "embryo disposal", don't-say-that-it-hurts-my-feelings kind of place. You want to shove your immoral, whiny, entitled, intolerant demands for acceptance and approval in my face, then get ready: right back 'atcha.

I don't care if you like me, or my viewpoints, or if you care about my beliefs in God or Jesus Christ. I don't walk around demanding that you accept my statements, or that you tailor your comments to preserve my feelings. But turnabout is fair play. If you get the ability to voice your opinions and affect change for your beliefs, then so do I. And believe me, there's plenty about this God-forsaken nation that I'd love to change.

For instance, government handouts without reasonable qualifications are gone. No more welfare, Medicaid, WIC, EMTALA, and any other taxpayer-made donation to a lazy way of life. People with a true disability who qualify for Social Security or Medicare are okeydokey. All the rest of you moochers, hit the road. Maybe another country that wants to socialize and carry you, hmm?

Doctors (poor people) are forced to come up with "new" diseases to explain the otherwise unexplainable complaints their pain-in-the-rear patients continue to request pain medicine for. And I don't care what American/National/Association of Whoever's say it's a real disease. Maybe if there wasn't such a prevalence of junkie, drug-seeking jerks permeating our emergency rooms looking for their next fix, we wouldn't be so opinionated about pseudo-diseases like fibromyalgia/chronic pelvic pain that have been classified as potential drug seeking diagnoses often employed by malingerers. I know, big words. Invest in a dictionary and a brain.

I believe homosexual marriage is wrong. Just as gay/lesbian/transgender/dog/cat/cousin/pedophile relationships are wrong. I don't like/approve/tolerate/support/condone that behavior nor do I knowingly fraternize with anyone who participates in it. Keep away from me and my family. AAAAHHHHHH, the intolerance!!!!!

I believe men that minister/pastor in the ways of Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Ted Haggard, Mark Driscoll and the like are securing their followers eternal damnation, and deserve a special place in hell themselves. And women, by authority of the Bible, you are not allowed to preach. Sorry. Look....I have an opinion. Sue me.

I believe that if you strike a healthcare provider, you should automatically be arrested and sentenced to 30 days in jail. No trial. No bail. No appeals. No I-was-drunk/high/psychotic/confused excuses without a previously diagnosed incurable mental illness that would incapacitate your ability to control your own behavior. And if that is the case, then you should probably have a court appointed guardian, since you are unable to make safe and reasonable decisions on your own.

I believe that life begins at the moment of conception (for those of you who don't know what that means, it is the moment when the sperm and the ovum join together) and extends through the moment of natural death. Anyone who "terminates" the life of a human being between these two points is a murderer, regardless of whatever politically correct reason you want to give for it. If you don't like that stigma or label, don't do it. Easy enough. Think that's bad? Check this out (and I agree with his idea as well).

Shocked and appalled? Disgusted? In disbelief that someone could be so intolerant in her feelings and opinions? Well, there's a lot more where that comes from. If you don't like it, you can leave a comment that tells me how much you don't like it. And if I don't like your comment, I'll delete it. Ahh, the power of comment moderation. Gotta love that freedom of speech and intolerance!
