This is a vanity sparked by a series of Benghazi posts I made on Facebook. I welcome your responses to this. Do you ever post on social media?
Benghazi ping....let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list (which is usually not a vanity....).
3 so-called “friends” on FB are no longer speaking to me. Why? I responded negatively to someone who posted an attractive photo of the Obama family with the inscription: “Why Republicans hate the Obama family.” I was outraged at the suggestion that Rs hate the family and, of course, the implied racism. For once, I took the poster on. I was attacked viciously!
The Left is not only insane, delusional, dishonest, they are completely thin-skinned as well. Sick bastards! Rant off.
Who’s bothered? If you don’t like what I post, to damn bad-unfriend me.
Why be bothered by or afraid of posting truth?
You are either preaching to the choir or to the insane (commies) so short answer......no. It’s a real good way to weed out the crazy people you may be associated with though. ;)
Although I haven't seen your posts before, respectfully, I stopped reading right here. What supporting evidence is there for that statement?
As for the gist of posting politically on social media, I can only say this. We can only give hope and camaraderie to those like minded people out there if we express our true sentiments. If it means losing some acquaintance, so be it. They weren't worthy of friendship anyway
That in my opinion is your biggest mistake....I long ago ran off my so called liberal friends. I had no idea what grief they brought into my life till I got rid of them and have not looked back. The most negative people one can imagine and all were intent on lecturing about things they were completely inept at. I compare it to how good it feels when you are hitting your thumb with a hammer and finally just stop doing it!!
Yep! Me too. I called it ‘ethnic cleansing’. lol
So...
You still wanna trade pictures?
Kumbaya, man.
We are beyond that.
The democrat party, as evidenced by the current resident of the Whitehouse and ferocity of his defenders in the Senate and Congress, has been completely taken over by Marxists who's only goal is to "fundamentally change America", wiping away our traditions, customs, freedoms, and strength.
Our problem is them, and their problem is us. We can't solve both.
The sooner we all realize that, the better.
The longer it takes for us to realize that, (rest assured that THEY realize that) the further away we will move from our founding principles.
That is the persistent mainstream media theme.
WE HATE, therefore, we can be ignored.
WE HATE OBAMA, we are racists that hate the idea of a Black President, etc., so no policy difference with the Obamunists can be legitimate.
We want kids to starve and die, so nothing we say about Food Stamps can be legit, etc...
This is a basic liberal debate tactic, playing to the sense of moral superiority most libs use to cover their faults.
Most don’t even realize they do it, so ingrained in the neural linguistic programming by the media.
As the Democrat Party is no longer a political party but a criminal organization, insulting Liberal Democrats is akin to insulting the Chicago Mob, so, yes, you're negative posts could have a negative effect.
You could, as they, "Wind up sleeping with the fishes."
Have you missed any of them??
I have a FB page under a pseudonym (close family/friends know it’s me, everyone else thinks I’m ‘Mr. X.’); I very graphically state what’s on my mind related to politics.
I actually started said page when I was working in academia so that way neither my students or my ultra left wing “colleagues” couldn’t say anything. And they did/do look.
There is reverse McCarthy-ism out there, no doubt.
I rarely post my opinions on Facebook, but I do post particularly convincing video or graphics that make the point, usually with a comment such as “Interesting perspective . . .” or “One way to look at it . . . “
My “friends” rarely reply to these posts, but I know for a fact that they are read and shared. I’m sure some just skip them, but it gives opportunity to the ignorant to watch or read without anyone knowing it.
I do know that one particularly unreasonably liberal friend recently “unfriended” me. This is a lady whose driving theological and personal ethos is solidly conservative, yet who continues to spout Democratic talking points because it’s been the way of her family for generations. I’m sure my posts caused her great internal conflict, and that’s OK. Sometimes it hurts to think.
Just being quietly persuasive, my tiny contribution to the cause.
Proves nothing except people behind him figured out the Web. The dipwad was still using a BB for cripes sake!
No matter what I say or do on a social media website there will be a whole bunch of people that agree with me. So many in fact I could never live long enough to meet them all.
Why would I worry about a few a$$holes that are offended by what I say when there isn't the time in a day to talk to the huge group of people that agree with me?
O.J. Simpson still has friends, and he cut his wife's head off for Cripes sake! Why the eff, in a world that could like someone that cuts off heads, would you care what people think?
Ask, “Which of Obama’s policies do you believe I’d support if he were white?”
