I think I may have another rightwinger defriend me after this...

Though really, I'm done dealing with these morons.
Original Post - Me
One of the things they teach you in psychology is about liars and their tells. Things like which way their eyes flick when they are accessing their creative centers, twitches, and blinking. That being said, watch RMoney blink about 1000 times a minute...every time the guy speaks he lies.
Idiot
That's all you've got ****? I expected more from you!
Me
****, the president is doing just fine calling out RMoney on his stupidity, lies, and inconsistencies with facts. I'm just pointing out the psychology part that he can't...
Idiot
You actually think he's doing well? It's not going well for him bro! He isn't answering the questions he's asked! It's ridiculous! Y'all need to stop drinking the Kool-aide!
Me
****, the only kool-aid drinker here is you. You stand by the same policies that got us in this mess in the first place. You seem to think that somhow this time it'll work. It didn't work under Reagan. It didn't work under Bush 1. It didn't work under Bush 2. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. You sir, are sadly misinformed and clearly don't do enough reading and research. I'm embarrassed that someone who could be so willfully ignorant shares the same alma mater as me. If you don't have anything substantive to say that you can actually back up with reliable facts and real reports, then just shut up.
*EDIT TO ADD FINISH TO CONVERSATION*
Idiot
****, you're right. I don't have the opportunity to do the reading & research that you do. I'm too busy running my business & providing jobs for my 12 full-time employees & the various sub-contractors I use. I'm far too ignorant to understand how this administration's policies create serious barriers to entrepreneurship that create so many roadblocks that many others in my industry choose not to start their own business or operate completely off the grid because of how ridiculous regulation has increased. You'll have to forgive me for wanting to actually keep more of the $200K I cleared this year! I put in 18-20 hours a day! Why the hell shouldn't I want keep what I earned?
Me
****, you think that impresses me?! I own my own business too. On top of working 60-70 hours a week at another job. Funny thing, I don't see my money going anywhere. So either you're lying, you keep crappy books, or your just really bad at saving money. Sorry, but without FACTS not your stories and oh poor me stuff, I don't buy it.
And despite all my time at work, I STILL find time to read and learn about how the economy works instead of just complaining because FOX and the rightwingnut pundits tell me to.
As for your claim of 20 hours a day...well that lack of sleep and rest might just explain why you are so willfully ignorant and susceptible to the rightwing propaganda...you do know that sleep deprivation is used to make people more pliable right?
Idiot
****, I've listened to you bitch about your salary & your inability to even replace a broken or slow laptop. I don't know what your other business is, but I don't think I am going to be off base when I say that YOU have absolutely no idea what I deal with running my business. My company is incorporated & VERY busy & profitable. My company pays 6 figures in Federal taxes! You're welcome
Me
****, you're done. I'm not going to put up with stupidity. I've told you, come with facts or shut up. You chose neither and frankly you've been insulting to me and goading me since the start of this post. I shouldn't have snapped but I am so sick of stupidity. You think that I care you make 6 figures?! Does that make your opinion more valid somehow and give you the right to speak with some kind of superiority?
Your next post on here is either a sourced statement of FACT and not some boast or claim of your superiority or plain and simple I remove you. I'm tired of listening to you spout nothing but pure tripe.
Idiot
...
Deleted for profanity and stupidity but the gist of it was insulting and stating that if I wasn't so lazy I'd make my business profitable and then I'd see how terrible President Obama is....end result - deleted comment and defriended.
Me
Well that was easy....don't have to worry about being insulted anymore. I apologize for those following this for losing my temper, but those comments and snide remarks from him have been too long on my nerves and I don't need someone who rubs my nose in the fact that I don't make 6 figures. There is a reason I don't...because I dedicated my life first to education - a profession that has been reviled far too many and then to a life of civil service. I will always do a job to help others. Does it suck that I don't make 6 figures, it does...but not because I'm greedy, but because everyone who dedicates their life to improving the lives of others, be it students or airmen and their families or any of the other thousands of jobs that help others deserve to be compensated at the rate that rich do-nothing dillweeds get paid.
