Ya know what really grinds my gears?!?!

 A lotta things lately, particularly vapid and self righteous talking points. 


Here's a condensed list. 


"You awake yet?!" or "Wake up!" 

When someone on social media posts an article discussing the alleged nefarious actions of their political opposites, they offer little to no insightful commentary other then the pithy phrases above. What's ironic is oftentimes someone posts content while having read nothing other then the click bait headline, so said headline sometimes doesn't align with what's conveyed in the article. So I guess it isn't necessarily your social media followers who have to "WAKE UP!"



"Here's something which will restore your faith in humanity!"

Nope. It won't. Humans are born into a sinful world, so I don't put any faith in fallible beings. If there is legit good occurring due to human action, I believe it is due to God's guidance in their lives. 



"If  you didn't vote, you can't complain."

Uhhhh....the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says otherwise.



"Even though Bob & I disagree politically, I think he did a nice job here."

If Bob did something which is worthy of your compliment, then it is 100% unnecessary to point out the drawbacks of  your relationship. This is sadly indicative of our society today in that even tacit approval of someone outside of our "tribe" has the potential to be met with scorn or condemnation from those who are of like mind.
