Did you "like" the Facebook page, "I hate it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President"?

hxxp://www.facebook.com/pages/I-hate-it-when-I-wake-up-in-the-morning-and-Barack-Obama-is-President/258864891156

If so, you might wanna go unlike the page because you'll be kicked off as soon as you post anything positive about Ron Paul anyway. I never "Paulbotted" the page, but I still got kicked off because I had posted articles and videos about Ron Paul. I rarely even commented on the articles/videos that I posted. I just posted information for people to read. They could take it or leave it. I just put the info out there for whoever was interested. I wasn't nasty to anyone. All I did was post articles and videos about Ron Paul and some articles/videos against other candidates. I don't think that's out of line since people need to know the truth. I don't know if other RP supporters were being nasty since I don't watch the page all the time.

That's fine. I was really getting sick of the neocons on that page anyway, but I stuck around to get the truth out for people who would listen. Apparently, some people aren't interested in the truth.

Trust me, guys. I'm over it and I don't care. I'm not losin' any sleep over it. I just thought I'd inform people here that may be on that page in case they'd like to unlike it, too, because it's not like you can post anything in favor of Ron Paul without being booted anyway. You just have to sit there and watch all the neocon pro-Newt garbage and not give any input on why Ron Paul would be a better candidate because you will then be branded a "Paulbot" and kicked off the page so, in my view, there's no point in liking their page, but if you're on it and wish to stay, then go ahead. My OP was for people who might want to unlike it.

i liked ,but i posted ron paul stuff and reminded them that deleting my post will elect obama/obama republicans! I expect to get banned but in the end banning ron paul supporters only elects obama in the end if they elect obama republicans and not RON PAUL.

Go back. Be more subtle. Sheep herding has a certain knack to it. :)

Try again with a new approach.

edit- Also, for a tip I would suggest re-reading the foreign policy chapter of The Revolution: A Manifesto

If we try to push the issue harder with these types of individuals, they are going to push back against us even harder than they are right now. My vote is to not further antagonize them, thus, dont go after this specific facebook post, go after all the individuals that are anti Ron Paul, excluding the starter of this page. If I did facebook (which I do not and will not), I'd probably post more on Ron Pauls strategy without specifically mentioning Ron Paul himself. Use the message he sends as the wake up call as opposed to something that they have already established a mental block against. I think they are opposed to the Name of Ron Paul more than they are opposed to his philosophy, which I think is really more important.

They don't really care what the soldiers think, though. Several people have told them that Ron Paul gets more military donations than all the other candidates, but it doesn't phase them. They'll still vote for a troop-killing war monger if they think he can beat Obama, unless RP happens to win the nomination, without any help from them, of course.

No need to name-call (first sign of a lost argument). Here is MY reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/separationism

Okay, now that I know what you mean by that, we can proceed from there. What do you think of these two quotes?

"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"Perhaps we didn't appreciate fully enough the depth of the hatred and the complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle. Perhaps the idea of a suicide car bomber committing mass murder to gain instant entry to Paradise was so foreign to our own values and consciousness that it did not create in us the concern for the marines' safety that it should have.

In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believed the last thing that we should do was turn tail and leave. Yet the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had changed towards more of a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 marines would be alive today." ~ Ronald Reagan

Yeah, your posts are gone, but the pic is still there. The only reason the pic is still there is because they're too stupid to actually read those troops' shirts. There they sit praising those troops as if they actually care about them while they ban anyone who supports the same candidate that those troops support. They look like complete fools right now. :)

If only those troops in that pic could speak to them right now. In fact, I wish a soldier who supports Ron Paul would get on that page and talk to them right now. In fact, I wish they'd flock to that page in droves. :)

Yes, the one they call "L" is the one who went off on the "Paulbots" and banned us all. I'm surprised you've been allowed to stay because "L" said, "If you're a Paul-Bot, and I find you here... You're history. I have had just about enough of you morons :/"

I dare you to post something anti-Newt and see if you're still allowed to stay. This video was the most recent thing I posted and ended up banned. I posted it in a comment thread in response to someone else who said they knew that Gingrich had a few skeletons in his closet, but Obama had a lot more or something like that. That's not an exact quote. I said that Newt had more than a few skeletons in his closet and left a link to this video. In that same comment thread, "L" said, "Paulbots banned," and my post was deleted.

Tod,

I think your Afghanistan soldier pic is gone now. I keep clicking on "older posts" and scrolling down, but can't find it anywhere. They must have finally read the shirts. I see they kept their kneeling soldier pic up that was posted by an admin. On that one, "L" says, "OUR MILITARY *ROCKS* AND DESERVES ALL OF OUR RESPECT!!!" Yeah, I guess unless they happen to support Ron Paul. :rolleyes: Just one post below that pic is the one "L" posted with Ron Paul's face crossed out.

That page is worthless. I'm done viewing it ever again.

ETA:

Never mind! I just found it. I was looking in the wrong spot. I wasn't looking under the "Everyone" section. I was looking under the admins' posts and didn't realize it. Your pic is still there. False Alarm! :o

I'm still done with that page, though. It really irritates me that they crossed out Ron Paul's face right under their soldier pic when Ron Paul is the only candidate who really cares about our soldiers, but they're too deaf, dumb, and blind to see it.

Since you said they unbanned people, I went back to see if they unbanned me. If they had, I was gonna re-ban myself and basically tell them to get lost. I will not even consider re-liking that page unless I find out that "L" is no longer an admin.

I noticed that he/she said to you, "Todd, this post was directed at another admin who banned Arcoiris. I was on the thread and there was no reason for the other admin to ban the person and delete the entire thread. It had nothing to do with any page members."

LOL! Pot calling kettle black? Was there really a reason to ban all RP supporters just for being RP supporters? Was every single one of us rude or nasty in some way? I think most of us were just trying to have civil discussions, yet he/she banned every RP supporter he/she could find.
