So I finally decided to hide the wingnut loon in my Facebook feed after last night, rather than defriending him outright. His contribution last night was 3 more GUNZ GUNZ GUNZ posts, a photoshop thing comparing Obama unfavorably with the Emperor from “Star Wars” (yes, both were senators, but uh, there’s a difference between winning two free and fair elections and seizing power in a crisis), and a BENGHAZI!!!!1 thing where he’s OUTRAGED that Hillary Clinton got away with murdering 4 Americans, but Christie will fall for causing a traffic jam. That was the end.

I have other conservative friends in my Facebook feed, but the difference is this:

1, They don’t post Alex Jones lunacy, and nothing but Alex Jones lunacy. One would rather talk University of Miami football. Another is a comic book geek and beer snob. A third is into Civil War re-enactments and American history. Fine. I like seeing that stuff in my feed.

2, Political stuff they post is more or less reasonable. Thinking that ACA will make healthcare less effective in this country is reasonable. Thinking it’s the first step towards FEMA death camps is not.
