Oh speaking of that, here is a good image I found on my Facebook about that:
It's the whole "Democrats are keeping Blacks oppressed by satiating them with endless welfare instead of teaching them to be self-sufficient" argument.
And so, under Republican policies, the economy would grow under pro-corporate laws and Blacks---now with welfare limits---would "actually get to work" and their culture would "become prosperous."
It's very strange logic, but that's the argument I've heard. Democrats are the "racist ones." And they like to tie in the whole "Democrats = Party of racism for hundreds of years" argument into it.

Posts like this are my favorite. I get a good chuckle out of them.

Lol. The funniest part about people posting this imaging and them believing it, is that they don't realize that right after the Civil Rights Act was passed that is when the Republicans started to become the part they were today.
i should have made that clearer - the vacation thing doesn't have anything to do with race. i wrote my response to them knowing they've got issues with black people.
the reason i know they have issues is the pro police in ferguson / zimmerman stuff that comes from em.
they did have a lovely one where obama spent more time negotiating with osama than he did with congress. i responded by saying it mustve been a hell of a talk since osama is dead (not even getting into the "obstructionist congress" bit) and i was greeted by a "go back to yer country"

ohh thats a good one. almost like the classic, "people who bring up race are racist!"
I got one go who posts the most ridiculously stupid pro-gun shit you could possibly imagine. I love it.
There's tons more but chrome crashed on me.
That one's particularly depressing. Reminds me of all those people who have guns for their profile picture.

This position drives me up the wall because it's completely ignorant of how the parties have changed over time.

I'm lucky I guess since I only have one friend who posts those conservative pics. Most of my friends are either non-political or on the left and not extreme so they don't usually post political memes. I had one friend yesterday post something that got under my skin about bullying and said to "quit raising pussies". Felt like rebutting that but I decided to keep my cool.
I don't really get much of those. I'm more offended by all the lists:
4 ways relationships are ruined
20 reasons the Jennifer Lawrence (and ONLY the Jennifer Lawrence leak which happened just now in the year 2014 and is a big issue all of a sudden) is sexual assault.
23 Signs you might be addicted to travel
I hate links to articles in general but these are just irritating.

Heck, I didn't know the Dems and the Repubs essentially "switched" until I was in my late teens. Kinda blew my mind.

People who pride themselves in their ignorance don't deserve your worry. History has already forgotten them, and so should you.
Our right wing politics is really incoherent. It's common to hear them contradict themselves in a single sentence, and they do it often. I am having to deal with this as my 19 year old niece has a conservative streak in her. I find myself laughing with her boyfriend often, who is black and pretty liberal and offended by her at least once a day. I don't know why he puts up with it.

Following the Dan Cathy fiasco, there were liberals on my facebook feed who went to the Chick-fil-A facebook page and deleted every single one of their friends who had it liked.
I recall users here admitting they did the same. Utterly bizarre behavior when it's not even based on people posting about it.

I'm sure you were smirking quite Jewishly as you typed that, but guns are for protecting life, not ending it.
Racism is not a legitimate political opinion.
Just saw these browsing through today. I know I've seen a lot more... this is just from this morning.
I peed my pants a little reading the last one

Facebook is for keeping contact with friends and as th very wise saying suggests friends who want to stay friends, don't discuss religion or politics.
It's part of the reason my wife and I deleted our Facebook. The bullshit that my ignorant relatives post, images like those posted in this thread, just drove us crazy. We were constantly fighting and/or ignoring them. Made me feel really shitty about my family, and sorry for them.
Someone please copy and paste this post into a heavily compressed jpeg.
The only facebook related activity that truly infuriates me and results in instant deletion are game invites. No, I don't want to fucking help you get gems in Farm Frezy or some shit. If there's a hell anyone guilty of that is going straight there, no questions asked.

I know, but if a pregnancy endangers mother's life or health how is abortion any different from self defense? They never can explain that to me.

You make a choice to break into a house or rob someone. Babies didn't have a choice in being created. That's the mindset, FYI I'm pro choice, pro gun, pro death penalty, pro gay marriage.

Most of the shitty left-wing stuff comes from anti free trade sentiment, stupid Commie shit, and overly paternalistic feeling, but both sides believe in conspiracy shit about GMOs and stuff like that. I don't like some liberal talking points, but it's certainly less influential and less damaging than some of the racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and other bigotry that seems way too prevalent on the right as of this time period.

This is really the worst part of it all. I've been watching my mom destroy relationships with people in her new community over the past few months and it's heartbreaking. She doesn't even live in the country anymore and she just keeps posting this shit on American politics that's unbelievably insensitive, ignorant and borderline racist to the aggravation of her new, mostly liberal, neighbors.

I lost the third one I was looking for, but
Yes, because gun ownership and abortion are somehow comparable arguments. If you wanted to compare the death penalty versus abortion there may have been some merit.
I love to be in the middle of a decent discussion on abortion or gun ownership, but when shit like this comes up it just becomes impossible. Both sides are just completely unreasonable
Just a useless comment overall, completely ignores everything one side may care about for a sensationalist comment.
I'll edit if I find the other post I was looking for, will leave poster links out
Liberals love to rattle off statistics about gun-related violence. Funny how they choose not to share how many lives were saved by guns.

The problem is that gun owners report millions of imaginary home defense incidents per year when total gun homicides according to the fbi are in the five figures. Also the legitimate examples are clouded by the fact that the perpetrator having a gun created the need in the first place.
i need to post pics from my insane cousin who think the government is leaking death into our vaccines. he's super liberal to the point where he believes that "negative thoughts made this jar of water dirty" picture floating around.
ugh no, corporate welfare is ruining this country
well that sounds down right reasonable

- Weapons have to be stored in safes. Automatic and semi-automatic weapons have to be disassembled.
- Carrying is illegal in general.
- Weapons may only be transported in locked containers, to and from shooting ranges.
Non-compliance can lead to up to five years in prison.
basically. Or make it so no one else can see her posts.
I can only count to 1776.

Well the people that have posted all of the images I shared here are family...so I can't really get rid of anybody without people getting offended. I don't really go on Facebook anymore anyway so...I just keep them for the sake of it.
They're especially anti-Islam, though. They've tried to brainwash me all my life...luckily I've done my best to rise above it.

I guess I should be thankful that I haven't seen any of these pictures. If someone was constantly posting this bullshit they'd be deleted in seconds.

I'm for stricter control over welfare. I deal with charity cases for the hospital I work for and make house calls. I've seen some terrible situations where the system is clearly being abused. I'm talking about dirt floors, kids with no shoes and a 60 inch 4k Tv in the living room.

Yes, but insane people also don't make that choice to hurt you and yet they can be killed in self defense, despite not being guilty of anythin.

Seeing all the examples here make me thankful my Facebook feed is pretty clean. My very conservative half brother occasionally posts something anti-Obama and a high school friend of mine who used to go crazy with Anti Gun Control images, mostly the whole argument consisting of how more laws/restrictions=more crime. But it seems ever since I actually confronted him on the whole issue he stopped. Now I usually just have a couple coworkers posting bible passages and praising God's love with metaphors. There's a lot of hit, but it's very tame and doesn't really bother me.
What are people who claim to be "in the middle" even in the middle of? Do you not pick sides on any issue? Seems like a convenient way of just saying "I'm above it all on every issue," without having to take a stand on anything.
The "in the middle" (or "independent") people I know seem like conservatives who don't want to call themselves Republicans. But maybe that's not the case for most who self-identify as such.

It's the Semper Fi that gets me every time I read that. I really can't help but laugh.
