FB post from a ex-military repub friend of mine

[pkz]

For those of you that wish to criticize our president at this time, I'm fully with my FB friends and family in saying STFU. I don't agree with his polcies but he just made the ultimate scarfice for his country. If some of you have not yet grasped the magitude of this decision let me spell it out..He has a bulls eye on his head and his family "FOREVER" as long as any of them remain alive.

She is not an Obama supporter, and it took her statement to bring this side.
I thanked her for acknowledging this hard truth

1. Tell your friend the feeling is mutual

I'd be happy if your friend just STFU. Thanks!

[blondeatlast]

3. Wow. Feel all better now? nt

[Bragi]

7. Yeah, thanks

When someone tells me I should STFU because they disagree with me, then I'm happy to return the good will.

[blondeatlast]

15. Keep talking. nt

[snooper2]

20. Nobody is talking, unless you are reading everything out-loud

This lady across the way does that sometimes in her cube...

We would all like to tell her to STFU :rofl:

21. No one was telling you to shut up. Read the post gain. She was

telling all rwers to shut up because our president did the right thing. Unless of course you are one of the rwers?

11. I'm thanking the Cosmos for IGNORE right now...

Because I'm seeing dozens of posts like yours today... and I feel sweet, sweet releif at not needing to read the post you are responding to.

Strange days!

9. Stay out of it maple leaf.

[Bragi]

2. that is something he must have taken into account...

but that`s the sacrifice only a few are willing to do.

[pkz]

6. of course he had to take it into account n/t

[The Backlash Cometh]

4. But, but, this was all part of Bush's strategy wasn't it?

[jp11]

5. People who disagree with me should STFU, it's the american way dagnamit!

[Bragi]

8. +1

[Bragi]

10. Ultimate sacrifice? WTF?

How is sitting in a secure room 7,000 miles away watching an assassination you ordered go down "the ultimate sacrifice for his country?"

Your FM GOP friend sounds like an idiot.

[demwing]

13. No, but you do.

welcome to the list

[pkz]

14. hey this FB post did not bother me....

seriously, a repub ex military was understanding what this President has put on the line

[woodsprite]

18. Better than one of my repub friends who was

whining how it wasn't Obama that brought this about. That this was the result of Bush and Bush's policies. He lamblasted Obama because he used the word "I" ten times in his speech last night. He called him arrogant and disgusting. He was replying to a post from his sister on FB where she originally posted the graphic of Obama saying sorry about the birth cert. but he was busy killing Osama.

I couldn't post because it was a 'friend of a friend', but I sooooo wanted to point out that it wasn't Bush sitting in the situation room, it wasn't Bush that called in the strike order, and it certainly wasn't arrogant. Arrogance is landing on a flight deck of an aircraft carrier and pronouncing "Mission Accomplished".

I think when I get home, I'll post the above blurb as my 'status'. ;) Cause, dammit! My friend can certainly read it there!

19. Hadn't thought of it that way. Thank her for the insight. Unfortunately

our president it used to being the target of hate from the rw. I am sure that includes his family. Secret service please be vigilant.

[pkz]

23. I hadn't thought of it that way either

We fought like dogs during the '08 campaign, I worked hard for Obama and she was a Palinista, we remain good friends.

I did thank her and her reply? She said "I calls 'em as I see 'em"

I gotta luv a friend like that.

[Rebubula]

22. In fairness...

...almost every person that I have talked to (I know and work with a lot of republicans) have stated the same thing.

Obviously, there was one that demanded to see the death photos and called it a re-election scam - but he was told to STFU by an even more conservative person.


For the most part - all Americans are behind President Obama at this time.


Next month - I suspect we return the norm...
