Replying To Facebook Silliness: "Merry Christmas To All My Democrat (Sic) Friends"

Occasionally DU'ers share the stupid stuff that scrolls by on Facebook. Here is my short and sweet reply to a stupid letter someone just posted.


To: All of my Democrat friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2015, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

And let me apologize now and, in advance, ask for forgiveness if anything in this or any other email I have ever sent offended you....or anyone you knew, know, or will know.

To all my Republican friends:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


MY REPLY:

Well, as a bleeding heart liberal I can make it even shorter and use only three words- Bless Your Heart!

using just one word....

"unfriend"

If folks want to be horse's behinds, that is certainly their choice, but I don't have to participate in their charming insults or see it posted in my news feed.

but games or no games, i'm so sick of the tea bagging idiots and their outbursts and juvenile bullshit.

my resolution for the coming year is to block and defriend them as the need arises. game or no game.

I'd say: How wonderful that you are finally seeing that all peoples are equally deserving of respect and for once you are not trying to exclude anyone.
