thats funny. I never ONCE sent my Aunt anything. Funny thing is she was posting all sorts of liberal crap.
She gave me a bunch of **** about it before she blocked me and I told her to act like an adult and click on the scroll bar and move on like I do when I don't like what I see on hers or anyone elses page. It is immature when people such as her, fell that they can't argue or deal with people who do not share their views. She no longer emails me or sends cards.

Seems only the left is allowed to have a voice.

I am sure if that was coming up on your wall on a consistent basis from your family or friends, you'd get tired of it as well & end up blocking them. Tell me, how is that immature? Think about that for a moment.

Right because you know what I post on my facebook page. You just ASS-ume that is the case.

What a crock! I have no love for the republican party or what passes for it today, but racism isn't exclusive to their party. I see it on both sides. If you take your partisan blinders off you'd see it too.

My biggest problems have been with libertarians, who ironically I probably agree with 97% of the time. In my experience, if you don't agree 100%, your name is Mud, and you might as well be a child molester.
This has got to be the most confused crowd..... How the hell can libertarian go from Bill Maher to Glenn Beck?? Those in between either lean left or right and they don't even notice it! LOL

Conservatives love to point out that there's twice as many of them as there are liberals.

Conservatives only have half the number of avoidable people to deal with.

No, this is how the left and media portray them

As we can see the left (some) have already tried campaigning on these ideas, they're falling flat into the water!

Just listening to Al Sharpton explaining how just the police officer in Ferguson had a gun. The liberal whiner wants us to believe Brown and the PO couldn't be struggling over the same gun. Only the PO had a gun.....what an idiot.


My liberal family members are alcoholics or x and claim they need/needed to self-medicate......what is amazing their friends have the same line.

As a libertarian, I don't consider those two shining examples of libertarians. Beck may be closer to one, but he isn't quite there.

In my experience, most Republicans aren't bad people, they just succumb to identity politics and un-nuanced arguments without thinking too deeply about the issues.

No, but I can see what you post on this forum. I'm not assuming anything about your Facebook page, but if your gay friends are defriending you it's possibly because you don't change your personality when posting there versus here. In any case, I was only predicting what I'd find you posting on this forum, not Facebook.

One reason I don't talk politics with my liberal friends and coworkers.
I lost about two Facebook friends from high school because I supported Romney. No real loss one had ballooned to 300lbs and she doesn't even have any kids.
