What Facebook friends I have that are Dims either defriended me or I did them. Facebook is no place to argue politics.
If there was a “Like” button here on Free Republic, I would have clicked on yours!
I don’t even bother with facebook. I had a MySpace a long time ago and haven’t checked it in at least three years. Amazingly, it’s possible to have relationships without submitting to these intrusive websites collecting personal data from me on behalf of their advertisers.
As for liberals, I make it clear I have no interest or respect for their opinions, so do not waste my time...........
The value of a Facebook account to me is that whenever I need to contact someone or find someone I can usually do it rapidly through Facebook. However, I’m not into cutesy pet photos,cupcake recipes or how the t-ball Cubs fared against their rivals. But, which Facebook account hasn’t befriended Harrison J. Bounel? That’s my entree to political posts!
FB has been a great way to promote my band and keep up with friends and relations. If I was still active in real estate sales I would use it to promote that too. I don’t post overtly political content.
The busybody liberals who post political crud get ‘unsuscribed’ from my feed so I and other friends don’t have to read or respond to their lies. They don’t seem to know the difference, though I don’t care if they do.
Do not waste your time on stupid people.Life is too short oh and dont breed the dumbasses either.
the obamistas are told to do seminar social networking.
(also remember “in your face” politics?)
The key is to have these loonies defended enough so that all the obamistas become isolated on a virtual island away from the civilized people. e-shunning them.
Choose your FB friends carefully...most libs have been weeded out on my page. I can barely tolerate the libs on Fox.
I will never unfriend someone for political reasons. I will blow them out of the water, but I keep them around for target practice. If they can’t take it, they can unfriend me, but I won’t run from a fight. Besides, I am more interested in showing the undecideds and afraid to speak up people on my friend list and on the lists of liberals foolish enough to post talking points that the truth exists and that it is possible to stand up to the bullies and shills on the left. I have no delusions about converting the Kool Aid drinkers, but there are still plenty of others out there that CAN be swayed, and THAT is where the victories are.
I just defriended a leftist atheist who claims she is a moderate agnostic—not defriended for that reason though.
This is a person I knew from high school, but lost touch with after Bush v Gore. She hasn’t gained any wisdom in those 12 years. She made some snide remark (along with a silly cartoon she penned) about conservatives she is friends with liking a cartoon about the Unaffordable Care Act. I can’t remember the exact wording of the cartoon that irked her, but Dummies was in the wording of it. In a different post, she linked to an article about how capitalism isn’t the best way. I couldn’t even click on it. I think it was from some leftist blog.
She friended me, out of the blue, several weeks ago, and I accepted which I figured was going to be a mistake. After I accepted her request, she never sent me a note asking me how things have been. What have you been up to, etc., which I thought was kind of odd. So it was no big deal to defriend her. It felt good.
Basically, most of the people I was friends with in high school are now simple minded liberals. Nice people, but no real thought about the consequences of what they are endorsing. There is no depth to their arguments.
One of them is so radical that I wouldn’t dare friend her. It would piss me off everyday to see her silly, leftist posts. As it is, I can see her wall as it is open. When I get bored, I will peek in out of curiosity to see some of the lunacy. Recently she was bragging about not only having tons of gender study classes, but also ethnic studies, queer studies—her term, class studies, and radical art.
So I’ve got a couple of high school friends on FB that support Obama. I’ve got a couple of acquaintances through my son’s Boy Scout Troop that support him. Most people on my friend list are probably apolitcal. I have my suspicions how some of them lean, but I’m not totally sure. I’ve got various conservatives on there too. Some family, some friends, some through Boy Scouts, some through FB, and some I’ve met on FR. I need to acquire more on the conservative side of the ledger though.
Basically, I’ve learned to post conservative minded articles, cartoons only for conservative viewing. I recently posted an article on FB that I read on FR and one of the high school liberal friends responded to that in a typical liberal way. It was regarding south of the border types, here illegally of course, getting tax credit for multiple children—some kids living in Mexico or other countries. Some made up. Some not even their kids. She replied that she was sure the IRS would do something about it and that if the Mexicans could do it, then American citizens were probably doing it too. The article was specifically about how the IRS is not doing anything about it. The fraud is costing billions of dollars. Anyway, how do you counter such simple minded, naive, excuse making reasoning? I just shook my head in disbelief and moved on. Nobody responded to the article or her post.
I think FB is kinda fun, but it’s a big time waster too. I have to stop myself from spending too much time on it. Still, I’m not always successful.
