FACEBOOK and TWITTER are technological slums swirling along in a sea of narcissism, designed to take the thought out of living, and slice life into in 30 second increments through the views of others; designed to distract people into believing they’re living the lives they’re designing on-line, designed to keep Oprah type petty trash information flowing and controlling the news cycle, keeping only the most mindless of thoughtless drivel in the news, while opening the private lives of users to rapists, pedophiles, identity theft and more.
A more perfect vehicle could not have been invented in the fight for the “undecided” 20% of the people.
The concerned American citizens involved, whether on the Left or Right, have made up their minds, based on the facts they choose to follow, concerning the seriousness of the situations this country faces.
Too ignorant to use their own minds, or too selfish and inconsiderate of both their civic duties and fellow citizens, there are those that, with an air of feigned indifference and superiority, call themselves “moderates” and “independents.”
They think of themselves smugly, Jon Stewart or Bill Mahers latest gag still in their mind.
These people should be ignored. They abrogate their decisions to the Daily Show news cycle. They are either too cowardly to stand up to their responsibilities as a citizen and actually make a decision, or too ignorant to understand how, due to the purposeful mis-education the government has forced upon them.
They are no more capable of making a serious decision about the future of this country than the so-called high school grad down at McDonalds is capable of making change of a dollar without a machine to provide the correct amount.
This is why the left loves FACEBOOK and TWITTER.
They are….

I created a twitter account a few months ago. I really tried to like it and use it for several weeks. It was a complete waste of time. The experiment did its job.
I have two facebook accounts. One is really me and I use it to stay in touch with what is happening in my old home town of Seattle and what is happening with people I know in my new home town.
The second is a completely fabricated individual 20 years younger than me who works at a large midwest company and graduated from a northeastern High School and even has a few friends (got friend requests from the high school and the company. :)
I use the second solely to post after news stories on internet sites. I can say what I want without fear of damaging my “real” reputation or job prospects.
I’ll never use either one of them, but Facebook and Twitter are just tools.
Neither one is inherently evil. The use to which they are put reflects the character and morals of the population.
I’d respectfully point out that, in the hands of a significant population of Christian believers with suitable morals and ethics, they’d make awesome tools for spreading the Gospel of Christ...

I am intrigued by your use of a Facebook alter-ego. I haven’t accessed my FB account for over a year as Free Republic is far more interesting. perhaps I will create one for similar use...
For me it is an act of patriotism. It is mostly a circle jerk here. When you get out there and comment on stories, especially centrist or liberal news sites, you get into it and do the heavy lifting for the conservative cause.
I see FR as the training facility that prepares us for that. The real work is not done here. This is the safe house...
This is nonsense. These tools are useful for influencing people directly without the leftist media filters.
That’s what I do. I use my REAL name, and post all kinds of stuff I get from Free Republic on my FB page. Get into some very heated debates with my lib friends, I’m sure a lot of them think I’m a nut, but I DO get my point across, and hopefully make some people THINK in the progress. I don’t give a flying F*** what most people think of me, so I let it fly! Called one of my lib ‘friends’ willfully ignorant just this morning for believing all the crap about Globull warming. The internet is changing how people get their news, and I think more and more people are waking up. Oh, and BTW, I too am stuck here in BLUE BLUE PUGET SOUND. Wish I could get out like you!
