I've started deleting teabaggers and other far right types from my friends list altogether. I don't care. I don't want that shit in my life.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, I think the that statement Obama is the first president not to lay a wreath at Arlington, although not a fact, is a pretty interesting commentary on his patriotism, and that has to say something. It indeed has the exact same sentence structure as a fact.

The only politically vocal far-right FB friend I have is my cousin, who I keep around because (a) he's only 14, (b) he doesn't talk politics all that much, and (c) his parents are in a cult. So his political beliefs are not his fault and will almost certainly evolve over time. (And also, the fact that he's a Tea Party sympathizing transexual babybat goth is...well, I can't wait to see how he grows up.)

My dad's a constant forwarder of emails that he gets, and lately more and more of them are anti-Obama ones. At least earlier this week, when he had forwarded a really bad one that claimed Obama didn't attend Columbia University, he sent an apology with the link to Snopes (I'm guessing one of his liberal kids/nephews got back to him on the veracity).

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, but President W Bush didn't in 2002 cause he was in France. And Pres Obama is laying a wreath at a cemetery in Illinois.

according to Snopes, Bush I never went to Arlington and Reagan missed a few, among others.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
imho, laying down a wreath somewhere is much the equivalent of wearing a flag pin. I'm more concerned about what he does, and does not do, in office, not how many symbolic gestures he makes.

That's what is driving me nuts about the Arlington kerfuffle. The Abraham Lincoln National Cemetary in Elwood, IL, is just as viable a cemetary as Arlington, if less wellknown.

Exactly. I am sure the families near the vast number of other National Cemeteries wouldn't mind having a president go to their ceremonies.
