Same guy with another one.

As an Iraqi-America, this one is particularly satisfying to me. Ignorance and bitter tears is a fine mix.
 
He is. I try not to be political on Facebook, but I posted this over the weekend. As I mentioned in another election thread, my Facebook is full of family from South Carolina as well as friends and people I knew from my time as an assistant youth minister at a southern baptist church, so it's been a bit, well, rough on there the past few weeks and today. I had to post something, and surprisingly many of the people who are generally a bit nutty responded well to it:
Good piece. I often wonder if it's always been like this, or that the internet and social media make our differences in opinion stand out more. I'd like to think that this is just a recent development, but at the same time I don't think this stuff happens overnight. We just had natural filters that shielded us from the chaff.
 
All from the same person :lol

Love me some salty tears.

Time to drink myself
Into unconsciousness... How did we bury ourselves this deep... Whatever. When I'm sitting in a house on the beach in the Caribbean when America falls.. I'll say with a sad heart. I told you so.

Communist st Vincent is looking better than the United States right about now... Hope people aren't idiots and we aren't stuck with the anti white presicant for the next 4 years. I'll seriously consider moving.

Alaska should succeed from the rest of the US.

Playing assassins creed III because at least then, America had a future.


So looking forward... Every one should no matter what, vote conservative or libertarian in 2 years, get those liberal a holes out of the senate, block everything Obama tries to put forward, cut his anti American ass off at the knees.
 
Man Fox News really knows how to bring on the fear. Look at what 4 years of indoctrination has done. Not saying everyone upset about this election is a brainwashed Fox News viewer, but it's pretty easy to tell who is.
 
I'm in the UK but an American I know posted this...

He's increased the deficit in just the 4 years he has been president than all other presidents combined. He outright lied to the American people about our Ambassador and 3 other citizens being murdered in Libya. Gosh, I could write for ages about this.

I know that first bit isn't true (but I don't know the exact details) but I don't know how to respond to the latter bit. What did he "lie" about?

The day to day dealing of the President hardly affect the average person, yet they keep thinking their getting fucked, even if quality of life is identical to under Bush. Sad to say but the non voter who doesn't give a shit probably lives longer and happier lives.
 
I'd just love for at least one person to explain exactly how Obama is a socialist or whatever

Then again I'm sure Fox News could start calling him a potato and six months from now that's all you'd hear.

I have no idea. It's like truthers viewpoint on Bush. No grounds in reality.
 
Ahahaha...a "libertarian" friend (who only ever criticized Obama) on Facebook has removed my access to his wall. In the past I've taken issue/argued with him...seems like last night was just too much. I had an even more conservative friend "quit" Facebook.

I don't do FB much but for shits and giggles, I posted the picture...you know the one...it's the bottle of tears of republican rage.

No comment...just the pic. My conservative brother went out of his way to call me on my cell and again at my work to tell me how offended he was. "How would YOU feel if I posted something like that?!?!?"

SMH

Obama not saying "IT WAS TERRORISTS!" within 30 seconds of the news breaking is equivalent to lying to some of these people. Textbook straw grasping.

guy i know that's in the military (and living in Japan, which is way more "socialist" than the USA). says he hopes we get bombed for our decision.
 
This attitude confuses me greatly.

Tell me about it, the people who say shit like this are usually lucky enough not to have any major problems and/or have great health care (most likely through their parents, which is helped by Obamacare). Health care is expensive as fuck even with great insurance if someone is unfortunate to have a bad condition.
 
Do Republicans really think the healthcare situation in this country is acceptable? That is always one of the main things I see people use to bash Obama and I just don't get it. Yet, they want to keep pouring money into a bloated military to protect you from an imaginary enemy on the outside, all while a huge number die from preventable and chronic illnesses from the inside. I guess since they are lucky enough to have decent insurance at the moment that makes everything a-ok.
 
The fuck are you talkin about?

if I am not allowed to draw certain pictures how is there true freedom of speech? if certain films can be refused classification and as a result be banned how is there true freedom of speech?

whether the laws are upheld or not, if a country has some of the strictest laws on internet censorship in the civilized world how is there true freedom of speech?

even music can be deemed as not to be sold to the public.

I could go on if you like.

To be fair, dying from a preventable disease or having a lifetime of crippling debt isn't the easiest decision sometimes.
 
where is this 'mitt won the popular vote' stuff coming from? I keep seeing it pop up on the internets. even fox admitted otherwise. wtf. is everyone a day behind?

That's the thing: he didn't. AFAIK the statement is pretty much the complete opposite of the truth: under Obama, the deficit has grown the least out of the last five or so presidents, and he said that the Syria attack was a terrorist attack in his initial statement. Tell him to stop watching Fox News.
 
I understand why we're respecting the privacy for the identities of these people, and I'm not suggesting we do otherwise but some of these comments are REALLY stupid and deserve to be exposed as stupid. People should be told when they're stupid or it'll just carry on..

mental health should be a huge focus for US healthcare in future, people are fucking losing it

He was ahead when the election was called and/or when most of these people went to bed so they didn't bother to look at the update with him a few million behind.
