Ack. I just got into a political fight with a relative on facebook. I suppose it was only a matter of time.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
See, that doesn't happen when all your relatives are Canadian!
The closest I get is telling my mother, like my other siblings have, that YES, she is spamming us with too many pro-Obama reblogs, and stop preaching to the choir, 'cause she's cluttering up our feed.
(Meanwhile, her NDP peeps in her motherland are encouraging her.)
Sometimes, I feel very lucky that I wasn't raised by Americans.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Heh. I was shocked this week when my father, who never posts and rarely comments on FB (even though he checks it pretty regularly) "liked" my link to the "5 reasons Romney/Ryan should not be elected" (or whatever) article I linked. He barely talks politics in meatspace.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
many of my relatives are on the other side. But they don't usually engage me directly on ANYTHING, much less that. If we don't talk, I don't know why they friended. Maybe the disappointment is mutual.

I may just have to stay off facebook for a while. I've been an emotional wreck this week. Actually, I should probably just avoid interacting with people altogether for a few days.

If I do decide to find and choke the guy that went on Warren's page to call her a "bimbo"(although maybe I should feel sorry as he does not know what words mean), I can say I was with y'all, right?

You were on the internet the whole time, erika.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
that doesn't happen when all your relatives are Canadian! that doesn't happen when all your relatives are Canadian!
That's a variant of Canadian I'm not familiar with.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I regret to inform you all that humanity has lost the mandate of Heaven, and from now on, God has instead chosen to bestow his favour upon the mantis people.
Well, sure. They pray.
Glad the eggs are okay. And that the fire isn't threatening a huge area or structures.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
My FIL has recently gotten into posting political stuff to FB. His views happen to coincide with mine, but probably not with many of the other people he knows (he grew up and still lives in Oklahoma, IIRC the only state where not a single county went for Obama in 2008). It sort of makes me cringe, because a lot of the things he's posting are incendiary or dubiously sourced (or both), plus half of them are reposted from pages with names like "We love to irritate nasty hateful Republicans." I mean, dude must know a LOT more Republicans than I do! I guess he just doesn't care that he's probably pissing them off, or else he's gotten to a point where most people just ignore him.
