If you talk to your average conservative, there might be one or two minor things that will offend us or set us off our feed.
It’s usually the things that you would expect any reasonable human being to be agitated by. There are also certain times that we don’t particularly care if someone is offended by something we say to them.
For example, it’s never good to yell at someone trying to help you. If that person got offended, that would likely be justified.
If you catch someone breaking into your house and are cussing them out while you are beating the stew out of them; nobody should worry whether or not that person is offended.
That’s the problem with Democrats, is that they seem to be worried about people being offended; but that are worried about the wrong people being offended.
I don’t know about you, but I have always referred to criminals as just that, criminals. It’s a word for people who engage in illegal behavior that we all agreed made sense for about the last several hundred years.
But liberals are, believe it or not, actually worried about criminals being upset about being called criminals.
Recently Democrat politicians in the state of Illinois (the one with that liberal minefield of Chicago) unveiled a measure to change the language in state law referring to criminals from “offenders” to (oh boy) “justice impacted individuals.”
Seriously. I’m not making this up. They actually want to stop calling people who break the law offenders because they feel that it might offend them.
Well, maybe the justice impacted individual shouldn’t have gone out and committed a criminal offense then?
Never mind the fact that this whole premise of changing the official wording is nuttier than the back room of a fruit cake factory to begin with; think of the money that they are going to have to spend to make the changeover.
The Republicans that are against this absolutely lunatic measure are arguing that the want to change the official terminology is nothing more than Democrats wanted to remove any accountability for people that actually commit crimes.
I would have to agree on this, because offender is a very blunt term. Justice impacted individual as a term takes away the bluntness from the reason why a criminal is being called an offender in the first place.
Sometimes, you just need to be very blunt about things, and this is definitely one case where kid gloves are not the best course of action.
