By all accounts, Harold was a bright child. He grew up in America. He went to school and had a bright future ahead of him. Harold’s full life was cut short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of Harold before his death, many did afterwards. And in death, something shocking happened. What was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the death of someone else recently in the news? Harold is Harold Greene, Major General United States Army. On August 5th, General Greene was killed by a Taliban terrorist. He was returned to America with full military honors.
It has been a tradition that the President attends the funeral of flag officers killed in the line of duty. Richard Nixon attended the funeral of a Major General killed in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The Vice President wasn't there either. Neither was the Secretary of Defense. Flags were not even lowered to half staff.
Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri. It is safe to say, Brown was at best a thug. The media has repeatedly shown photos of Brown flashing gang signs. Some media outlets have even associated him with a specific gang. In the minutes before his death, Brown committed a robbery at a local convenience store.. According to other reports, Brown struck officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone.
Obama is sending a three-person delegation to Michael Brown’s funeral. Obama would not attend the funeral of the highest ranking military officer killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he will send a delegation to the funeral of a thug.
When Margaret Thatcher, one of America’s staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan’s partner in bringing down Soviet communism died, Obama sent only a small, low-level delegation to her funeral. The snub was not missed by the British.

American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course. A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.

We, as an American People, have no Commander in Chief that represents the People and the Constitution. He lied there, too. When he took the Oath.
ReplyDeleteWe, the People, with the help of Congress, must stop him.
In order to do so, the Senate majority needs to be Republican or Independent, and PLEASE do not do your math on independent candidates! It CANNOT be held by the Democrats at any cost!
After that, we may be able to morph towards independents (-ce).
God help us all....
This man has all the respect of me and all the military that served with him. Fortunately, that Honor has not been tainted with Obama's name, nor should it ever be. Obama does not represent the Office of Commander in Chief in any way, shape, or form. He disgraces the very constitution he swore to uphold.
ReplyDeleteHe is a total Socialist and totally Un- American.
