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.

I feel your pain. I seriously question whether I will survive this year politically. When I'm PMSing I go after people who post things like that on FB because I just can't stand it. My current favorite is the meme about how some black kids killed a white boy and his girlfriend and where is the outrage? It states 'black on white crime is politically incorrect to report'. Really? Where is this??? Sometimes I get the feeling people are all living in their own realities and it's a fight to see who can impose theirs on the rest of us. Have you seen the bumper sticker with a line through the Obama logo and stating 'don't renig'?

*clings* We haven't even gotten past the primaries yet; that's what is freaking me out. Ugh, I haven't seen that bumper sticker and I hope I never do! D:
