You Can't Make This Stuff Up

Today's deletion nominated herself.  Read on, and note that other that removing names and pictures, not a word has been altered.

Is this true? If so... someone shoot his black ass!!!.
It was announced that there will not be Christmas trees at the White house this year. They will be called Holiday Trees. Obama says this is no longer a Christian Country, it's a country of many faiths. As Americans must send a message to Obama that this Country was founded on Christian beliefs and we are STILL a Christian Country...

Friend 1: that history part is true Virginia was settled for religious freedom by the English a long time ago 

Me:  Did you get hacked? 

Ex-Friend:  Lol! Nope just love Christmas, and can't call the Christmas tree anything else! Just not right! Lol!

 

To which I wanted to reply, and wrestled with myself all afternoon NOT to reply, "Well then, lol, I suppose you're probably right, and that this is probably exactly what Jesus himself would have posted to his Wall.  Aside from 'Kill the darkie.' Lol!"

I'm not sure the sarcasm would have been picked up on, and if it had, I'm not the type to argue with bigoted idiots, especially on the internet.  The trouble with bigoted idiots, you see, is that NOTHING YOU SAY will convince them that they are wrong.  Nothing will make them the least bit introspective -- which is what I was leaning toward with the question about hacking (as in "Did some bigoted idiot post to your page when you weren't looking, because I can't believe that a rational, intelligent person would post this shit for everyone to see").  I gave her a chance to backpedal, or even to step back and reconsider what she may have posted hastily and thoughtlessly earlier in the day, or in a different mood.  No dice.

The shame is, I'd enjoyed having this online friend.  I'd never seen anything like this from her before, so I'm shocked and disappointed.  She seems to have some absolutely wonderful, generous, selfless kids -- and I'm being entirely sincere -- so she must be doing something right.  All we can do is hope those apples roll far away from the tree.
