The Tale of two funerals

Subject: A Tale of two funerals. Important

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.
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.
No wonder real Americans hold Obama in contempt.

Without question, the President has repeatedly disgraced the White House. It seems apparent that he wants all the perks of office with none of the gravity, none of the responsibility, none of the decorum Americans expect of their President. What a tragic situation the nation now faces.

The denigration of the office is appalling. Unfortunately, I despair the majority either doesn't care or cares but either because of correctness or self-absorption will not shout enough.
This guy has gotten a pass throughout his entire life and has, thus far, gotten another one for the past 6 years.
Sorry group but I've been watching NATO and his performance there.

We will be lucky if this incompetent moron doesn't totally destroy America as we know it in the next two years.

He did promise to fundamentally change America! He has had more help than I could ever have imagined.

I remember Nikita Khrushchev in a speech about 1955, while he was slamming his shoe on the table during rage about President Eisenhower, screaming to the world that he would bury the United Sates without firing a shot.

What he did was plant a seed of communism in our universities, particularly teaching universities. After 50+ years have passed, we have a NEA (teacher's union) rife with left-learning, socialist thinkers who have basically rewired our educational system to create good little socialists within our two college educated youngest generations in this country. With a Communist President such as, Obama, we have seen the fundamental changes that are taking place within our culture. Communism may have nearly defeated us already.

It comes down to the will of the older generations and nonaligned younger people, such as the military as to whether we will roll over and let them take us over! You may think that I am crazy but just wait without doing anything and see!
