seasons greetings

Don't get me started on facebook.  Oh you already have.  Most of my friends are liberal so mostly I get liberal propaganda.  But there are some conservatives too.  There are a couple of Gage Park classmates who i never knew that well, but I friended them when I was going through that reunion thing and they post virulent racist and stupid stuff.  One of them recently posted a photo that claimed to be an ISIS parade in Detroit.  What the fuck I thought, that doesn't sound right, so I went to Snopes and sure enough the photo was from one of those Why Can't We Get Along demonstrations.  I did a similar thing with a liberal post that claimed that black Friday, the shopping day after Christmas really was called that because of some racial crap going back to the pilgrims.

Well it's just so stupid.  But people don't care.  I pointed out the error to both posters, but neither one took down their post.  They don't care whether it's true or not, as long as it promotes their cause. 

But even the ones that are milder, liberal or conservative, I don't like either one.  If you have something to say use your own words not one of those stupid posters that go around, and why does anybody think that if you take some inane slogan and put it against a sunset that it becomes meaningful? 

But like I say if you go on fb don't complain if it pisses you off.

See, you and me, we keep our arguments in this obscure little blog, which is so much better than if we trolled liberal and conservative sites and just posted them to clog up each others' pages. 

The main reason I thought you were kidding about the card carrying libertarian thing is because it seemed so against everything libertarians believed in, isn't that the first step towards a national id, which is the first step towards the rule of the collectivists, who will not only make you marry your gay dog, but you will have to do it walking down an aisle carpeted by Ayn Rand portraits with muddy boots. 

I don't think I actually claim that you are a tea partier, just that they are of your ilk.  I am going by the walking and talking like a duck test.  You may not wear the three-cornered hat of liberty, but you talk just like them.  If you were behind a screen and somebody could only hear you talking they would guess that you were wearing one of those hats.  Can you name an issue where you disagree with the tea party?

But enough of this bickering, this is the Christmas season, and you can tell by the posts on fb, loudly proclaiming that if you say happy holidays instead of merry christmas you are some atheistic commie.

I have my balcony lights.  I put on the Santa hat and give money and red and green Hershey kisses to the bums and twinkle my eyes for the kiddies.  But I have no Christmas tree, and now that I think of it I have never in my life had a Christmas tree.  Maybe I am an atheistic commie, well an atheistic socialist at any rate.

Happy Holidays.
