I wanted to share this conversation I had recently on Facebook. I deleted the other commenter’s name to protect their privacy. The things she is saying really scare me though. I don’t watch a lot of news, in fact the only thing I do watch is PBS or CBS Sunday Morning and that is rare. I try to listen to NPR as much as I can so I’m really not familiar with what is being broadcast on main stream media. The only stuff I know about is what I see on people’s Facebook pages, and the headlines I see on Yahoo.
So to hear that this person thinks that my salvation is tied to whether or not I support President Obama is really disturbing. Is this what is being taught by Glen Beck and Fox news? What are the implications of that for the Republican party and for this country’s political system as a whole?
As a disclaimer…this is the first political conversation I have ever had with this person. I have made a few political statements on my page but not very many.
Okay, the first comment was my status update that I wrote after I watched a video of Glen Becks, that in my opinion, reminded me of a fascist dictator. However it was really a sarcastic statement to poke fun of all the people who are comparing President Obama to Hitler. The responder is the same person every time.
