I am keeping my mouth shut and not posting anything political on Facebook.

I made this choice about a week ago after confronting a few folks on Facebook, one of whom unfriended me. I have had a discussion with a local minister who believes that Obama is a Muslim and posts about it on Facebook. I tried having a rational discussion with him, but he continued on with his posts. I had enough and unfriended him. Two others I have unfriended because of the crap they spew about Obama taking away their guns.

People who place their faith in a liar and bully like Romney while believing every racist hate-filled lie and conspiracy theory about Obama they come across are not worth my time. They will no longer be granted any space on my Facebook news feed. That is my choice.
