Politics

[lisamoe]

I am definitely not going to get into it with friends over politics in their own journals. It's not worth it to forsake friendship for politics, plus we can all post what we like and there's no reason we'd all agree. I know emotions are running high and also that arguing on the internet is pretty pointless anyway. I will post here a link to factcheck.org about a common email going around about Obama's tax plans. Take it, and any viral emails you get, for what you will. Consider the sources for the information, if there are any and check them out yourself.

Here is the link...

I received numerous e-mails over the past couple of days from co-workers that continue to perpetuate false accusations against Obama. Finally, this morning I had had enough and replied to one by posting the "fact check." It turns out, much to my surprise, that I am "too sensitive" and "not getting the joke." This person was seriously upset that I had the gall to respond in disagreement. They even went to so far to call me a "devil's advocate." I really think they used the term literally.
