Wow, everyone on FB seems intent on raising my blood pressure tonight. Someone posted that 2007 photo of President Obama where he doesn't have his hand over his heart during the National Anthem, and a person I have known previously as gentle and kind called him a pig. Someone else called Spike Lee a terrorist for tweeting the (incorrect) George Zimmerman address and insinuated that the President speaking out about Trevon Martin is "supporting terrorism." Someone else posted a picture of President Obama with...I don't even remember except there was a tall stack of Legos involved and he was supposed to be saying that he was going to take half of them and give them to kids who had been napping all afternoon.

I just closed that tab and have intentions of staying away until I can bear it again.

This is why I stay far far away from politics *nods* Gives me the mother of all migraines! O_O

I try to stay out of things as much as possible; I've learned the hard way that people (including myself, I'm sure!) don't want to discuss politics; they just want to argue. I hate arguing!

That is so it! No one wants to discuss - they just want to argue! I don't mind arguing when it's important but as far as politics, it doesn't matter what I think or want anyway so why bother to talk about it? O_o
