Angel ,'Sleeper'
[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.
I was foolish and asked for a list. This is what I got:
I refuse to live in a socialist nation. That is NOT why my father fought and nearly died in Iwo Jima!
Also, my husband did not serve in Viet Nam so we could become a socialist county with a president who won't even salute the flag!
Mind you, he is getting VA benefits, and she Medicaid.
And Obama salutes the flag. Omnis, it isn't rational. She has no idea what's really going on. I repeat, don't feed the energy creature.
Where is this flag thing coming from? Someone threw that at me too, and when I asked for clarification, I didn't get any.

Yup. When you do that -- in this instance, asking for a list -- you give them EXACTLY what they want, which is an opportunity to get their self-righteous rant on. Don't play in to that.
I cannot even handle the level of racist-ass Othering that's going on in this election.
No shit, man. It is fucking ugly.
D has his own group he watches away games with - he works at the Dome for home games. So inspection/approval will have to wait. I may bring RI tomorrow, though.
The only appropriate response is "The things you are saying are BAT. SHIT. CRAZY. Also, socialism? That word does not mean what you think it means."
This broken computer thing is one thing too many. I can't handle this. I feel like this is the thing that's going to push me over the edge.

I don't blame you, Sean, you have some Job-like stuff going on. I'm so terribly sorry.

Yes, I have seriously backed off from responding to or posting political stuff. I did unfriend a couple people and purposely don't friend people I know that will makes me crazy. It is just too upsetting for me.
I will confess that I fantasize on occasion that some certain people suffer as profoundly as I did after the elections of 2000 and 2004. I'm planning a party election night to last however long it takes. Partly because my sons both get to vote for the first time this year. And it Will Be A Celebration! My state has Obama up by 7 points which I am allowing myself to feel encouraged about. Our ballots are once again a horror. Yes, I know. There are 11 state amendments to consider as well as all the other elections so the ballot is 10 pages or so. I may have to consider early voting although I enjoy the ritual of going on election day.
Fortunately the majority of Republicans in my life are reasonable intelligent people that can discuss issues without being crazy. We agree to disagree on actual issues. There is no talking to the birthers or bigots.
