I know some stuff is kicking around but imagine if you knew that somewhere on the Internet there was a picture of you years ago smiling into the camera and being waaaay on the wrong side of history.

Another Facebook gem from one of my racist-rear end in-laws:

Well the day I have been wating for so long to come is finally here tomorrow. Even if my guy loses, I will no longer post political messages. When I was younger and did not pay attention, I did not get so caught up in all this and it did not matter so much. At least I thought it did not. But now that I am to the point where I am planning for retirement, I am seeing that politics has a much big
ger effect on my life than I thought when I was younger. For years presidents did not really effect our lives that much, mainly because they were mainstream in their thinking. What I mean by that is they thought like most of us, whether it be Democrat or Republican. Unfortunately this president has been so liberal in his views and his politics and he has managed to implement policies, even without the approval of congress and ignoring the rule of law, that are so outside the mainstream and actually hurt people in many ways. I know people who cheat the government now, and feel they deserve it. How does this happen? Because the president elected by the majority has a re-distribution mindset, and has relaxed the food stamp requirements and the government doesn't even care if you are trying to help yourself, it is all about votes. When I was younger and trying to make ends meet in the military, I was below the poverty level for sure and could not access government help no matter what. Now people lie on their food stamp application and laugh all the way through the check out line at Walmart. What a dam shame. When I look back at 2008, I have to say I read about this candidate and I knew enough about his past which told me I did not want this person having any impact on me and my family's lives. Minorities did not elect Obama. Poor people did not elect Obama. There was enough people like you and me out there that did not even bother doing any research and fell for his hope and change and all the other crap he was slinging at you through a main stream media that would not vett him and still will not even tell you about the incompetence of his administration and the hurt it has caused, including the deaths of really great people just trying to chase a dream. I hope those that voted for him last election do some real research this time and do not vote on all that hope and change crap like in 2008. I bet I could sit down with any of you who did vote for him and list the things that I refer to as bad for the country and you would actually agree. But will you vote for him again? That is the real question. When you pull that lever I hope you think about even one thing, like the in excess of $200,000 every working man and woman over 18 in this country now owes towards the federal deficit he has run up over a four year period. This can all change and I really hope when you vote you that you vote for real reasons and if you vote for Obama that you vote for him because you understand his policies and the harm it will continue to do for the rest of your life. If the majority of the voters actually re-elect this president, then they deserve the outcome which will be something you never even imagined, just like the last four years but far worse. I doubt that many that voted for him even fathomed what he was going to do over the last four years. So go vote and think about Uncle Gary bitching an moaning about the stupid election. If he gets re-elected everybody will be bitching and moaning for a long time to come. Lastly, no matter who wins the election, Obama will be dealt with by an honest congress. See ya.

Bash -> To the Cop

This is from a few pages ago, but I just want to point out that the whole #SandyLootCrew thing was a twitter tag invented by troll outfit "Gay friend of the family Association of America" to expose racial bias (aka flatout racism). Of course, infowars jumped on it, and other poo poo "journalists" also thought it was real immediately, even got picked up by the Daily Mail. So if you see people on facebook commenting on it, this should make it fairly easy to call them out (not that they'll listen).

quote:

"To sum it up, myself and a few members of the GNAA thought that it would be amusing to pretend to be looters,” said Mr. Kaiser, who claims to be a 19-year-old African-American male living in New Mexico. “One of us came up with the hashtag #SANDYLOOTCREW. We were making the most ridiculous tweets that we could think .. .people will believe literally anything, even us stealing cats."

He added, “Anyone who takes ‘NIGGA I JUST STOLE A CAT OUTTA SUM1S HOUSE GET ON MY LEVEL’ at face value probably shouldn’t be working in the news industry."

I...I am literally having trouble finding words to express my feelings about that. One of the gently caress You gifs from the Political Cartoons thread wouldn't even suffice here. This is a childish revenge fantasy full of right-wing worship, a sincere desire for the suffering of people whose politics he doesn't like, and a brand of exceptionalism I don't think I have seen from anyone beyond the actual schizophrenics who run for office. And, to top it off, apparently Romney stops being Mormon or something because Mormons don't loving drink alcohol you ignorant clod.

And drat, that thing was hard to read. Too many poorly-structured sentences separated by ellipses. It even kind of hosed with my thought processes while trying to respond. I'm disoriented now. gently caress that guy.

My mother is a font of talking points spouted by either right wing radio or the Catholic Church. She pretty much thinks Obama is the Antichrist. So much so, that she told her 85 year old neighbor, a family friend since my parents moved into the neighborhood in 1979 and my brother's Confirmation sponsor, that if he voted for Barack Obama he was going to hell because Obama is pro-Choice. I'd be surprised, but she already told me I was going to hell for rejecting the Church.

I think he means that unemployment is as low as it can reasonably go. You can't get unemployment to 0%, because there is always movement in the labor force, people moving from one job to another, etc.

I had a loving crazy dream where, a few weeks ago, right after the second Presidential debate, a teenage girl hit all the news stations and said Romney was her father, and she had six brothers and sisters and two moms, and Romney kept them off somewhere in Utah or Arizona, and they were paid to keep quiet. DNA tests proved Romney had some extra wives and kids, but somehow, somehow, Fox News spun it that the two women were total sluts and Romney was tricked into being with both of them, and having seven kids with them.

And somehow he still won the election.

Grandma posted:

Twas the night before elections,
And all thru' the town,
Tempers were flaring
Emotions ran up and down.

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap,
Had shut off the TV,
tired of political crap.


When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay
To hand out to others
Who had not worked a day!



He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.




He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!



On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, on Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at a nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note...

IF YOU DON'T WANT

SOCIALISM,

GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!


GOD BLESS AMERICA , OUR ONLY

HOPE.....
WAVE OUR FLAG HIGH!!!

In between the big spaces in the poem are supposed to be pictures, but gently caress if they won't load of my end.

Really the most important fact to counter it is that government spending has had lower growth under Obama than any President since Eisenhower. The debt is large not because he is overspending, but because the economy is bad and Republicans forced him to extend the Bush tax cuts.

Yes, the debt is bad. Yes it's an issue. If you are comfortable being up front with your old man tell them that he was awfully quiet when Bush was running up the debt and spending without paying, and for him to suggest that a much more thrifty president is a big spender is dishonest.
