Funerals

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 Major General Casey 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 sent 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.

When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history was murdered, there was no expression of sympathy from the White House.  There was no White House delegation at his funeral.

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

What is WRONG with this administration?

It IS the administration that we collectively elected!

An affirmative action president - subsequently designated an affirmative action cabinet and furthered the affirmative action agenda. Between handouts, gimme jobs, and political cronyism, we have the largest and most corrupt government there has ever been in existence!

We got what we deserved - hopefully, we're seeing the error of our ways and will be able to survive our mistakes....some positive changes have been occurring at the local level.

Obama was too busy polishing his grossly undeserved Nobel Prize medal.

A person who grew up attending a madrassa for 6 years in another country, who is inexplicably using a dead man's social security number, registered for college as a foreign exchange student, has used an entirely different name before, who spent his very short period as a Senator campaigning for a different job (but still banking his paycheck for the job he WASN'T doing, someone who has spent millions of taxpayer dollars to HIDE his past and seal records, and who never even ran a Kool-Aid stand or knew what a P&L was, all of a sudden became the leader of the greatest economy the world has ever seen. A Constitutional professor (!!) who did not know the Constitution (he didn't think the Supreme Court should be able to declare a law un constitutional!). He said he was going to "fundamentally change America". No one asked "Why???"
He is a goof, still showing, on a daily basis, his disdain for values and ideals that made us the greatest country in the history of the world.
The military hates him. The rest of the world leaders are either laughing or mocking him. 50 million Americans are on food stamps! Muslims are in charge of some of the most sensitive positions in our government !??).
As it says in the Bible, know them by their acts. NOT their words.
Just think....you can have Hillary next!
Keep cheering!!

This is what happens when you cast a politically correct vote instead of a vote for the most qualified candidate.

This is exactly what you get when you elect a RACIST as a president! He is clearly showing that only BLACK LIVES matter to the government! Maybe he should sit back and look at how many other Races are working our buts off, while the only lives that he cares about sit home making babies, and collecting our hard earned money!

Elections have consequences. He hates this country, and everything we stand for.
