Un-Friend Me!

I seek the advice of the masses. OK, how about just the counsel of my Mom and whoever else might read this? 

Hypothetical situation: I find someone I went to school with on Facebook. I send a friend request which, when approved, grants me access to their profile. Said profile contains loads of useful information, like, how fat this person may/may not have gotten, whether or not they've procreated and their political affiliation, if any. Let's say that this last factoid is alarming, slightly less offensive than baby raping, like not only is this person a Republican, but a proud one. One who wears a t-shirt that falsely proclaims, "Republicans screw better." One who's posted a link on their Facebook page that sends me to a web site where I can get a JOHN MCCAIN LAWN SIGN.  What to do? Can one rescind a Facebook friendship? Should I throw myself upon the mercy of other Facebookians and hope that my connection to this Neo-con is viewed with indifference and sympathy, as I might hope a retarded sibling would be? 

At this point in my life, the only Republicans that I have to associate with, placate, mmmm suffer gladly, are the ones I'm unfortunately related to, most of whom by marriage. I can't deny DNA! But to allow myself an unmistaken, visible--albeit electronic and all virtual or cyber--association reminds me of the days when I'd still make out with the occasional boy. Ew, gross! And unnecessary. 

Why can't this distasteful conservative lifestyle be lived discreetly? Take a lesson from the pre-Stonewall gays and have some shame! I mean, screw better? Are you kidding me? Of course, in all fairness, it would depend on WHO you're screwing. The poor, yes. The disenfranchised, bingo. The environment, hells yeah. Your own grandchildren, indeed. Wait, I just thought about J. Edgar Hoover. OK, you win.
