My note to this magnificent lady.
"I am tired of those sideline folks who think it's cool to post negative statements about those of us who choose to engage in political postings. Their effete smugness and sense of intellect superiority is far more disgusting to me than any posts I have seen. It's our right, no, it's our responsibility to post freely be often when we feel strongly about the future of our nation.
Your comments are ALWAYS enlightening and helpful, and I look forward to them. I was honored to be blocked by a super hip California media type because I sent her your one of your "takes" on women. Thank you.
I ask those elites what they will prohibit next on this wonderful forum. Maybe it ought to be all about grandkids, recipes, Jesus, our favorite time of year or what we had for lunch yesterday?
When Facebook reaches that level of insipid dialogue, I will leave it, or better, stay and clean out my friends list when they suggest those of us who are political are somehow ruining the forum.
I suggest those many Facebook voyeurs who are not willing to debate or get involved in this most critical decision of our lifetime ought to find something thing else to do with their incredibly valuable time.
I don't like either candidate but that doesn't mean I should become an ostrich when the future of my cherished values as a citizen are at stake. The populace becomes very passive and silent every time tyrants take control.
I may fail, but I will go down swinging for what I consider my duties as an informed citizen. If my posts offend you, unfollow me, block me, delete me, or ignore me, but don't try to shame me into becoming silent or passive to receive your approval.
Being blocked or unfollowed by self-proclaimed elites in this case is not a shame but an honor.
This is too important to be cool."
