A Viewer Writes: Then vs. Now

I was a student at Pocomoke High School when John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States and I remember him very well. Some people agreed with his policies and some did not but he was a well respected man. The entire country was traumatized when he was assassinated on a Friday afternoon in Dallas. His body was returned to Washington on Friday night and lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda on Saturday and Sunday. His funeral and burial were on Monday. From the time of his death until he was buried was a total of 71 hours.

Today we have a congressman from Georgia who died of natural causes at an advanced age. He neither wrote nor sponsored any legislation except for naming post offices after his friends. His only real claim to fame is that he was the victim of a beating by an Alabama State Trooper over 50 years ago. He died two weeks ago and is still not in his grave.

They had to wait until the White carriage was available. It hauled some dude around the country side for a few weeks. Can’t remember the name, he was on Judge Judy for stealing and crashing a ladies car after knocking hell outta her.

I think lewis was trying to compete with mccain. Both funerals were tacky classless and downright crude. lewis had to have his hearse go by and stop at blm plaza in DC. He in dead as in life was a vulgar classless and undignified. His funeral was in Atlanta. If he had had a drop of moral blood flowing in those veins of his when alive he would have had the hearse ride by and pause at the scene of the shooting on July 4 of 8 yr old Secoriea Turner in Atlanta. That is what a decent human being does. But to waste of a life disgusting race baiters like him her life didn't matter because he couldn't make it racial The devil has him now since all he ever did in life was the devil's work on earth. God hates those with ugly evil hearts like lewis.

The CIA had a lot to cover up. That's why JFK's burial was rushed.

Reagan lied in state for a week with 36 hours in the Rotunda. However, no political agenda was taken advantage of. It was all somber to my memory. Another fellow student of Pocomoke High during 92-94, I balled my eyes out during Reagan's funeral. It was all tasteful and no jabs were taken at his opponents. Also, everything was played out. From success, to Iran Contra. Everyone seemed to forget this Congressman's unreasonable outbursts and constant accusations of racism among his opponents. Sorry for the loss of a fellow Christian, but I think power corrupted him a long time ago and made him rich. He will have to answer for that.

He is not in his grave so they can count his vote

Lewis was an evil waste of a life. He was nothing but a gate keeper keeping them blacks in chains. He kept them on the democrat plantation. Unfortunately because Lewis made sure they are kept dumbed down they ignorantly think he was great. He was a grotesque lying piece of trash and the sooner blacks figure this fact out the better people they will be. He was against school choice so as to keep them blacks imbeciles. When you are an imbecilic you are a dependent. In other words a slave. Because of trash like Lewis is why blacks have historically voted stupidly. Blacks need to wise up. People like Lewis were not their friend. He now burns in hell with the rest of the race baiters.

Lewis saw a racist in every white. When McCain and Palin were running to become the country's president and vice-president, Lewis compared them to George Wallace. When Trump was running for president, Lewis compared him to George Wallace, too.

Something tells me this "viewer" didn't have anything to say when John McCain's body was paraded around for a month before finally being buried in Arizona.

Unfortunately you are wrong.
There is plenty of racism in this story.
John Lewis was a vile racist tool of the Jewish Aristocracy.

The world is a much better place without his demon-possessed self.

John McCain actually did something with his life and sacrificed several years of his life in the Hanoi Hilton. His he had many accomplishments in his legislative career, unlike Mr. Lewis.

Lewis's heart was full of hate for whites. Herman Cains was not. Plus he liked Trump. That's why the blacks could care less that he is dead and will not honor him like they do that racist Lewis.
