Things Liberals Made Me Give Up

This was fantastic! It was on Rush today and this is only a partial list! I can think of more. Another reason I'm a convervative.

• prayer
• lead paint
• low-flow toilets
• Freon in air-conditioning, had to get rid of that.
  
• Aerosol cans, had to say good-bye to those.
  
• Paper bags, we had to go to biodegradable plastic bags, and now we found out those are destructive to the environment, we're going to go back to paper.
  
• How about oat bran? We had to get rid of that.
  
• We had to stop drinking coffee till we found out, no problem.
  
• We had to get rid of aerosol hair spray.
  
• They're forcing ethanol on us.
  
• We have to get rid of incandescent lightbulbs and replace them by 2012 with compact fluorescents.
• Balloons, you may have forgotten this, but there was an effort to ban balloons in certain parts of the country because they ended up in lakes, they ended up in oceans, ended up killing fish.
  
• Outdoor lighting at the beach during turtle season, turn 'em off.
  
• Cutting trees on your own property, you can't do it.
  
• Nuclear power plants, no.
  
• Coal mining, targeted.
  
• Trans-fats in New York and other places, stop eating them, you can't. Restaurants that serve them will be fined.
  
• Had to get rid of coconut oil for popcorn because The Center for Science in the Public Interest said that it added to clogged arteries, later found that it doesn't, but you still can't get popcorn popped in coconut oil.
  
• Smoking, of course.
  
• We had to get rid of DDT, which has led to untold cases of deadly disease in Africa. Rachel Carson, big heroine here, actually her ban ended up killing millions.
  
• Helmets for bikers and skaters and motorcyclists, you have to wear them.
  
• We got rid of monkey bars on playgrounds.
  
• We got rid of high slides on playgrounds. Too dangerous for the little kiddies.
  
• We had to get rid of toy guns, because it taught and trained little kids to use real guns.
  
• Seat belts, have to use 'em. If you get caught without using them, you get fined.
  
• Car seats for the kids, got to have 'em.
• Garbage disposals, they tried to ban garbage disposals in North Carolina just a month ago.
  
• Can't eat your hamburgers rare, too many carcinogens, gotta cook your meat beyond rare.
  
• Firecrackers, of course, bad news.
  
• Gotta get rid of diving boards at public swimming pools, too dangerous.
  
• Can't play tag in the public schools because it's embarrassing either way you go. Whoever is "it" is it, and that's bad, but nobody, or very few get to be it, and that's bad too. So it's discriminatory.
  
• Dodge ball. Can't play dodge ball, it's too dangerous! Kids might get hurt.
  
• Can't play touch football, either. It's too rough.
  
• Can't eat fois gras because of the way they produce it,
  
• guns are under constant attack.
  
• Citizen involvement in elections has been reduced, thanks to McCain-Feingold

I would add to this list:

• Grading people with a D or F
• Winners and losers in games. Its unfair and demeaning
• God. He is too bossy
• Absolutes. No one knows what is right and wrong. its all relative
• American pride. We don't want anyone to think we think we are better than them.
• Christmas. It says Christianity is better than Hannukah or Kwanza. What about the atheists?
• Innocence. The sooner we can teach kids about sex, the more "educated" they'll be when they inevitably do it.
• Super Size food. It kills people and makes them fat.
• The Washington Bullets...it was a violent name for a basketball team.
• Guilt. Free expression in art and speech is to be accepted...except if it's about God.
