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.

Good Lord, I'm glad I missed all that.

I always knew that many of the people I grew up with and went to school with were ultra-ultra politically...OUT THERE, but wow. Sometimes it's just overwhelming. I need to somehow learn to be like my sister; she never discusses politics even though I know she has strong political opinions. Maybe she can advise me on that.
