He was returned to America with full military honors.<br \/>\n\t    While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The Vice President wasn\u2019t there either. Flags were not even lowered to half staff.<\/p>\n<p>\t    Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>\t    It is safe to say, Brown was at best a thug.<\/p>\n<p>\t    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 <br \/>\n\t    death, Brown committed a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other reports, Brown struck officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone.<br \/>\n\t    Obama is sending a three-person delegation to Michael Brown\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n<p>\t    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.<\/p>\n<p>\t    When Margaret Thatcher, one of America\u2019s staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan\u2019s partner in bringing down Soviet communism, died Obama sent only a small low-level <br \/>\n\t    delegation to her funeral. <\/p>\n<p>\t    The snub was not missed by the British.<\/p>\n<p>\t    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 <br \/>\n\t    delegation at his funeral.<\/p>\n<p>\t    American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.<\/p>\n<p>\t    A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.<\/p>\n<p>\t    No wonder real Americans hold Obama in contempt.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<p>No replies were posted for this topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 25, 2014 By all accounts, Harold was a bright child.
