Irony on parade at Facebook:

Was looking at someone's Facebook feed (not my friend, but a friend of a friend).

His top post was this graphic:



No less than 5 posts down on his wall, he has another graphic.

It's a picture of President Obama, with a caption reading, "Just a few more days.....Not my president!!!"

I felt like dropping in and calling him out, but I don't know the guy from Adam, so whatever.

He's the President of my country.

But he's not my president. I didn't vote for him, I didn't want him, and I don't believe he stands for what I believe a president should stand for.

You're just a whiny, liberal, loser snowflake.

They are lost in their own distorted reality.

There's also a meme about people objecting to the flag (at a school, I think) which is (I assume) why the flag is in this graphic. They generate all of these negative emotions toward people that they don't know and then they post this stuff like they're really 'teaching us a lesson'.

Since I'm from central Idaho, originally, I have quite a lot of old friends that are amused by such bizarre things.
