and they are supposedly educated people who should know better on Facebook.
I am so sick of all the impeach Obama, welfare queen mems, English as the only language crap, Obama's stealing my guns, etc.
Are they too ignorant to realize not one gun has been taken? That the English only boat has sailed long ago, that there are more white people on welfare, that its the Repulicans trying to end SS and Medicare?
None of their "complaints" are even based remotely in fact.
I am hiding all such posts but it is disheartening to see how many people actually believe and spread that kind of crap and you know it is primarily for one reason, they are prejuidice, against anyone or anything that isn't lily white.
I actually talked about it in my therapy session because I have been in long term treatment for anxiety and depression.
My therapist said she believes it is based in fear of people who are different. I think it is based on willful stupidity. Its more likely both I know.
Its not like I am saying they don't have the right to free speech or stupidity but at least deal with facts and base your complaints on policy not on personality. For instance don't criticize Obama for something that you let go when Bush did it or to be fair vice versa.
It just makes me so angry but if I tell them all off, I am going to find myself pretty much alone. What gets me as that some of these people I would have never expected it of, because they seem so nice otherwise.
