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.
While
Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The Vice President
wasn’t there either. 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.
