If you seriously want to know why people get so worked up by them you could do worse than read Thomas Paine - Age of Reason, it was only published in 1791, so its not like theres never been anything written explaining the core of reasons behind opposition.
Thankfully I was brought up to have my own opinion and I take slight offense at what you are suggesting.

Also I'm sure not everyone who has ever been opposed to the Queen has read "Age of Reason" so I hardly think that would explain to me why there is such resentment in the general populace.

It may provide me with answers as to why you are against the idea but I hardly see how it will explain why some people choose to call her a sill cow.

Also do you know if the book has been updated recently to reflect society at present as a lot will have changed since 1791 so while some points may be relevant others may just be outdated.
