My favorite pastime is being a constant source of irritation to my liberal family and friends on Facebook. I'm hoping this will be a good place to find source material for that...

Yeah, you will find source material for that alright... I have spent the last decade trying to understand and save the liberals in my life from their folly. In so doing I have found many, many ways to annoy them, and if that is your goal have at it.
I humbly submit the following links in hope that they will further you in that pursuit
How to talk to a liberal - written back when I thought there was a point to doing so
A Exam Guaranteed to set up such extreme cognitive dissonance in their heads they will stop speaking to you - (My grade school friends, the groomsmen at my wedding kicked me out of their group blog after I had posted just the first portion.. ) Be sure to tell them you are open to having them rephrase the questions or add thier own answers if they think the questions aren't "fair"
Liberals explained in their own words
Racism Explained in thought experiment
and what I consider to be one of my better rants on the subject.
I have written them all off- and pushed every last one of them out of my life ( including every member of my nuclear family) and I have never regretted it- for they provided nothing to my life. Nothing. They only took. I therefore feel compelled to point out that "liberal friends" is a oxymoron.
A person who votes to violate your rights, steal your property and point govt guns at your head in order to make you live according to their values and in service of their agenda is not your "friend." Just because they are too cowardly to do the deed themselves, does not absolve them of their guilt - anymore than a person who hires a hit man is absolved of trying to murder someone. Their so-called good intentions may make it understandable, but if they really had good intentions they would care when their actions ended up hurting you or others. I assume that you have found that they flippantly dismiss any such accusation and have no intention of dealing good faith.
They do so because they are all suffering from narcissistic personality disorder and perceive you only in the terms of what you can provide to them. Mostly this takes the form of the "Sanction of the victim" - as they assume that your further association with them is proof that you acknowledge that their deeds are good ( or at least not that bad). Others simply get a warm ego boost of self affirmation just from you disagreeing with them, because for most leftists, such disagreement is actually perceived as proof that they are superior to you.. Cut them off from what they are getting from you and they will drop you - without feeling, without loss and without remorse. One even told me that "live and let live" is a philosophy that unfairly imposes my beliefs on him - because I have a belief that I and my life am not his property to use, sacrifice and abuse as he will if he get a community sanction to do so. . If you doubt my characterization of these feral cavemen, and its absoluteness, I suggest you try to discuss the philosophy of "live and let live" with your liberal "friends" and see if it doesn't lead someplace similar. My own Mother has chosen to not see me or her Grandchildren rather than admit that her rights end when mine begin,and to avoid confronting the fact that I am a person, real and whole, with my own wants, desires, rights and beliefs and not some slave held in common by the community/tribe.
These are the people who happily worked at Auschwitz, secure and self-righteous in their knowledge that they were helping the common good by exterminating such evil, greedy, selfish people. They are not, and are incapable of, being your friend or of loving you because they are incapable of seeing you as a person and not a thing.
And please don't let my above expressed attitudes scare you off from this as a good forum for you. . I am definitely on the very extreme and intense side of the folks here (I'm a misfit toy for sure), and the term "liberal friend" is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, and one I feel I need to sound warning about if I even suspect someone doesn't know and understand the true nature of such "friends" - for I also suspect some very dire times are ahead, and I fear not having a very clear view of real allegiances and attitudes of those around you could very rapidly become disastrous. If such warnings are unwanted or needed I ask for your understanding and forgiveness.
So again, welcome...

To clarify, my use of the term "liberal friends" there was meant more in the sense of "liberal Facebook friends"; they would be more accurately labeled "tangential acquaintances", and the family member is a semi-insane man that married my wife's aunt.

I'm not too worried about that; as I said, one of my favorite pastimes is to be a constant source of irritation to them. I'm quite confident that they have no misconception as to my view of their beliefs or deeds. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I work in sarcasm and snark the way that Rembrandt worked in canvas and paint.

Me too. A little older than you - coming up on 30 years of wedded bliss (well, mostly ;) ) & 2 kids about to enter college. I teach adult Sunday school @ church & practice the postmodern, alternative lifestyle commonly know as heterosexuality*.
Welcome!

I suspected as much, but broken toy that I am, I have to make sure...

Hey, if you have the patience and attitude for it, more power to ya. Anything that causes them irritation, pain or suffering I am all for. I used to enjoy the same, but of late its become too serious for me and inflicts a heavier toll on me than it does to them. So I quit.
But feel free to post your best snark in the Member Diary section. We don't get a lot of trolls here ( and don't want them) but I for one would enjoy hearing of your exploits on the front lines, since I just can't go there to engage them like I used to ( I start and then I think, oh right, the point here is to hurt them, not me..) But yes, I can guarantee you are still feeding them- either sanction of the victim or the "look how this guy disagrees with me, I am so much smarter than him" ego boost, or both.
If you weren't feeding them they would have unfriended (is that a word now?) you already, because they can't value you as a person in your own right - only for what you can provide them. Just charge em high for it :)
