I recently made a decision to NOT use Facebook as my own personal soapbox. That said, I am seething over the cruel, disrespectful, and downright ugly things I read on there.
A Marine, with his profile pic depicting him in uniform, was online trashing President Obama. I get it...some people are not in favor of Obama. But does that mean it's alright to trash him in such a blatantly disrespectful manner? I think not, particularly if he's your Commander in Chief.
I sympathize with people who feel out of step with today's administration. Lord knows I spent 8 years feeling out of step during President Bush's two terms and to some degree during President Clinton's second term. But I didn't take to spewing hatred to any and all that would listen (whether they wanted to or not). No instead I chose to find an outlet for my frustration...supporting a candidate I could get behind.
So I encourage all the Obama-haters out there...do something about it if change is what you're after. Stop flapping your jaws and mobilize.
