Armchair Activist
A term used to describe a person who acts like an activist, but from a metaphorical armchair — i.e., from a mostly or totally inactive, theoretical position.
Inherent in the meaning of armchair revolutionary is the idea that the person knows that their ideas require them to be physically involved in political struggles, but that instead the person chooses to be intentionally ignorant or dismissive of real-world issues and problems, in an attempt to continue believing in the false reality their views create. In this way the armchair revolutionary is often regarded to see the world in at least a quasi-idealist manner, i.e., one relative solely to his or her own perceptions, rather than bothering with what s/he should really do — to absorb the physical and practical reality s/he would be compelled to see around him/her if s/he stopped the alleged "political posturing" and became an activist in actual political causes

Jessica: The soup kitchen in our town closed down but we don't care! KONY 2012 WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!
Andy: Posting Kony statuses still? You're such an armchair activist.

Lance Armstrong
When knowingly guilty of something, repeatedly deny vehemently to the point of playing the ethical or moral card.
Before finally admitting to PED use, former cycling champion Lance Armstrong said the following:
1. "We are completely innocent. We run a very clean and professional team that has been singled out due to our success"
2. "The simple truth is that we outwork everyone. But when you perform at a higher level in a race, you get questions about doping."
Major League Baseball player Ryan Braun, before finally admitting to "making mistakes" took it to a new level with some of his quotes:
1. "When you know you're innocent of something, it's extremely difficult to have to prove it when you're in a process where you're 100 percent guilty until proven innocent."
2. "I have always taken tremendous pride in my image and my reputation and being a role model and handling myself the right way and doing things the right way."
