I'll be darned. I was called

"a raging liberal" (correctly spelled) this morning by someone on FB who disagreed with me and who then suggested I might want to become a "former friend" so I obliged since he apparently can't tolerate alternate viewpoints. Mind you, I've read through endless yapping on his part about hunting and guns and was treated to lovingly displayed pictures of his newest AK-47 and boxes of bullets. I shared a picture of a bumpersticker from DU that he apparently took offense from.

Mind you, this person is not a relative but an acquaintance through someone else so I'm not traumatized by this at all. I was more amused by the fact that he somehow sees this as a successful "kill" so to speak and notched his belt accordingly on his page. I'm still chuckling.

I know he's unaware of your laughter, which is too bad. They can't stand it when they can't get under your skin.........the way you got under his!
