I have always been a pretty apolitical.

I am the most “Can’t we all just get along?”, peacemaker kinda person you will ever meet.

I have to say: my patience & tolerance have been pressed about as tight up against the proverbial Glass Ceiling as they can get – before shattering.

So, for all the newly minted, Monday-Morning Constitutional Law experts, I need to get this message out:

In these United States of America, we have what are called “Fundamental Freedoms”; and there are five of them that were clearly, and specifically, spelled out by The Founding Fathers. Everyone loves to clamor on them, but NONE OF THEM – not a single one – are named in the Constitution.

Also, whilst you may have the Freedoms of Speech, Religion, Press, Assembly, and to Petition the Government; your “right” to these freedoms does NOT supersede my right to them.

Therefore:

I have never cared who you loved;
Until you started shoving it down my throat.
I have never cared about the color of your skin (despite being raised by a bigot);
Until you started blaming all your troubles on the color of mine.
I have never cared that you’re a man;
Until you called me weaker for being a woman.
I have never cared about your politics,
Until you started condemning me for mine.
And I have never cared about heritage;
Until you called me “Deplorable” for mine.

Now, I care.
