My Facebook line in the sand...

[coyotespaw]

My most recent status update on Facebook:
God Dammit, it's time to make a stand against stupid. If you believe Obama wasn't born in America, you're too stupid to be a friend of mine. If you believe that the current health care plan is going to pull the plug on granny; then you're too stupid to be a friend of mine. If you're calling Obama a fascist, get a dictionary, look up fascism, then either admit you're wrong, or get off of my friend's list.
Is it too subtle?

1. Much applause form here!

"Too stupid to be a friend of mine" - absolutely!!

It's time to end our addiction to mediocrity and our celebration of stupidity in this country.

2. Agree.

We many not always be responsible for our friends, but I firmly believe that we are most definitely responsible for our enemies. Anyone who becomes your enemy over that update speaks well of you.

5. Just curious about my mom's response...

she's got some friends that send her freeptard chain emails, and for a time sent them to me. She finally quit when I told her that I'd just been deleting every email she sent me, and I hope that this gives her a similar shock to the system. The best part of it is that my son "liked" it; even without much input from me, he's still got the old man's lefty ideals...

3. i like it. but you might want to think about getting off FB altogether;

see, e.g., http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106535773&sc=fb&cc=fp ;

4. I appreciate the thought

but I don't sweat it much. My boss knows I'm an unrepentant radical leftist, and I'm all for using "The Man's" tool to spread the opposition's message. Plus, it's a great way to get in touch with old friends and let them know that my ideology hasn't changed much since high school.

Thumbs up.

8. Fabulous.

9. Obama is distinctively anti facist

It's a long haul to undo the Bush society, but that's one thing that's sure.

11. Just got one from my sister:

"Doesn't matter if he was born in Hawaii - his father is Kenyan, thus making him ineligible............."

My Reply? "Your ignorance is appalling. Read a book, please."

13. Sorry you had to scrap with your family...

Sad to say, but that's why I don't talk too much with my mom when I visit, unless the rest of the family and I are playing some kind of trivia/board/card game...

12. I've lost my patience as well, and lost 4 FB friends this week.

Mostly former "frat brothers" from Texas. Good riddance!

[coyotespaw]

14. I wish it hadn't have come to that point with me...

but after the morons trying to scream down any voice of reason, death threats to congressmen, fucktards coming to presidential town hall meetings with guns, and shitsuckers holding up signs that read "Death to Michelle Obama and their two stupid daughters;" enough was enough. I can deal with reasonable disagreement; but by definition, you can't reason with crazy.

15. I can't disagree with that

Mind you, most of my RW Facebook friends are more into Jeremy Clarkson then teabaggers or morans like Dan Hannan.

Here's a good group to join to stick it to the wingnuts spreading lies about our NHS
