A friend of mine said that since Obama won she was moving to England, France or Sweden. I asked her just how much of a socialist was she. She immediately blocked me.

Texas, and I've been getting these "we're going to secede" messages all day long. I posted this cartoon to honor them.....

I joined DU last night to deter me from engaging my RW fb "friends". DU was pretty busy so..I had to finally speak my mind to them. Most of them going on about Ohio being a welfare mind-set state. They think their taxes are going up and so forth and they still think the whole Jeep thing is true...

These were basically placeholder friends on FB. Haven't seen them since 8th grade, and apparently they stopped maturing around that age.

He is a huge Netanyahu fan & thinks Obama has "betrayed" Israel - he considers Obama's foreign policy a failure...



He supported Romney because of Romney's being good buddies with Netanyahu.

This is just the last straw in a long line of stupid crap he's insisted on posting...despite the fact that my wife unfriended him months ago.



I was unfriended by someone a year or more ago for being a socialist. Apparently that was an unforgivable sin in her eyes.

Meh, no big loss there.

I finally cleared up a few people who were not friends. I hid their crap, but they insisted on shiting on my pages. You know what we survived bush, so they'll survive (and prob prosper) through Obama. I'm just sick of it. FB was supposed to be a place to keep tabs on actual friends instead it has de-evolved into Chik Fil A wars and bullshit "info graphics" and passive aggressive attacks.

I'm taking a break after I clean them from my list.

FB friends = real life friends (tho I got two Swiss friends who might be imaginary).
