By all accounts, Harold was abright child. He grew up in America. He went to schooland had a bright future ahead of him. Harold’s full lifewas cut short in a violent moment. While few people had everheard of Harold before his death, many did afterward. And indeath, something very shocking happened. What was soshocking, especially when it is compared to the death ofsomeone else recently in the news?Harold was Harold Greene, Major General United StatesArmy.On Aug. 5, Major General Greene was killed by aTaliban terrorist. Hewas returned to America with full military honors. Ithas been a tradition that the president attends thefuneral of flag officers killed in theline of duty.Richard Nixon attended thefuneral of a major general killedin Vietnam and George W. Bushattended the funeral of Lieutenant General TimothyMaude, who was killed in the 9/11attacks.While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obamawas golfing. The vice president wasn’t there either.Neither was the secretary of defense. Flags were noteven lowered to half staff.Four days after Harold Greene gave his life forAmerica, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Mo. Itis safe to say, Brown was at best a thug. In theminutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a localconvenience store. According to other reports, Brown struckofficer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone. Obamasent a three-person delegation to Brown’sfuneral! Obama would not attend thefuneral of the highest ranking military officer killedin the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent adelegation to the funeral of a thug.When Margaret Thatcher, one of America’s staunchestallies and Ronald Reagan’s partner in bringing downSoviet communism, died, Obama sentonly a small low-level delegation toher funeral. The snub was not missed by theBritish.When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper inhistory was murdered, there was no expression ofsympathy from the White House. But whenWhitney Houston died from drugoverdose, Obama ordered all flags be flown at halfmast.There was no White House delegation at the funeral ofan American hero.American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.A thug dies and he gets a White Housedelegation. Obama also did not attend thefuneral of Judge Justice Scalia. When the timecomes for Obama to be planted, and it couldn’t be soonenough, this country will celebrate his demise.The stenchthat he is will be buried with him. |

Welcome
Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:
I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.
The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!
A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:
"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."
Thanks Jack!
I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.
