An amazing display of priorities.
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 of us did afterwards.
many of us did afterwards.
And in death, something very
shocking happened. What was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the
death of someone else recently in the news?
Harold is Major General
Harold Greene, United States Army.
On August 5th, General
Greene was violently killed by a Taliban terrorist. He was returned to America
with full military honors.
It has
always 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, where was Barack Obama? He 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, Michael Brown was just an ordinary street thug.
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.
And what did Obama do? He
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 common
ordinary street 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. But when Whitney Houston dies from drug overdose you guessed
it.................
Obama orders all flags to be flown at half mast !
There was no White House
delegation at the funeral of an American hero.
American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.
A thug dies and he gets a
White House delegation.
No wonder real thinking
Americans hold Obama in contempt. And for those who continue to support this
man, I ask, where is your brain?
We have to make sure that no
such person like Obama ever gets in the white house again. Pass this
along to all your friends and hopefully they will do the same. It's scary to
think we still have a little over a year to go with Obama at the helm.
