The only thing I would add to this is loss of:reverence of our flag and country. General Kelly spot on, nailed the deep loss of sacred things in our country.

quote:

You know, when I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country.

--Women were sacred, looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore as we see from recent cases.

--Life — the dignity of life — is sacred. That’s gone.

--Religion, that seems to be gone as well.

--Gold Star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer. But I just thought — the selfless devotion that brings a man or woman to die on the battlefield, I just thought that that might be sacred.


Full Transcript and Video: Kelly Defends Trump’s Handling of Soldier’s Death and Call to Widow

Video
Also, if you listen very carefully it is quite clear-- the Congresswoman took it out of context to politicize. After this Statement from General Kelly; she then walks to cameras and proclaims she is a rock star. STOP defending this trifling garbage.

Why can't the democrats come together to bring back what we should hold sacred in this country?

For the same reasons that we are tearing down statutes that offend no one until they were told to be offended. The agenda is to destroy this country.

Stay woke, my friend.

Great post CA.

Dunkle is right, Dems do as they're told. Their pimps lead them lock, stock, and barrel to the feed trough.

It's sad and funny to watch. I'm afraid the sad outweighs the funny because it is succeeding in dividing our country.

Meh. He is glossing over details from when he was younger like a lot of people. The abuse of women goes back well before Harvey Weinstein.

There have been persecutions and injustices carried out in the name of religion since mankind existed.

I understand the point and when it got to gold star families and the like it made sense, but we really need to stop with the "life was awesome" nonsense.

Until the base of the DEMOCRAT party rises up and rejects this scum that has overtaken them, I will henceforth suppose that ANYONE who sides with the prog/DEM/MSM cabal is fully in support of their divisive, anti-American, depravity.

This is perhaps the touchstone where anyone who deserves to be treated as a decent human being can decide which path to take.

I have no sympathy for anyone choosing to align with the filthy scum.

Because Trump is a master of division . He was called out on it yesterday by two former presidents.

HE is merely fighting back against the divisions created and exploited by the DEMOCRAT party. All other GOP presidents have tried to be gentlemen - and they got the same treatment as Trump is getting.

Only difference is that Trump fights back. YOU are the cause of the conflict and the division.

Don't start no shite - won't be no shite.

You have grown too accustomed to roll-over GOPers who try to govern by following the 'Marquis of Queensbury" rules - and they were all mugged by the brass-knuckles of the DEMOCRAT scum.

All that is different now is that Trump doesn't take that shite lying down. You vile pieces of shite are not used to someone fighting back.

Go get butt-raped by a rusty tailpipe,

what is wrong with you? Do you just come here for the echo chamber? You seem really nasty towards any opposing viewpoint.

I'd say that the last 4 national elections have shown who's "not smart enough to understand."

I do believe Trump was taken out of context to one extent or another, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he said some of the wrong things and came off as insensitive. Consoling the family in this situation is already a hard thing to do (and Trump already seems to be lacking that empathy gene or something)but. a president should be able to pull it off.
He should have talked it out with her (the widow) even after the allegations instead of going into full attack mode. I mean, he wants to be about patriotism, this would have been a good time to take the high road but he just doesn't seem capable of doing that in any circumstance. You have to be the bigger man sometimes.

Interesting question.
What have you posted about Frederica"EmptyBarrel"Wilson's derisive comments concerning GeneralKelly?

What have you posted about Brian Fallon's awful comments regarding the Gold Star Father?
quote:

Brian Fallon ? @brianefallon
Kelly isnt just an enabler of Trump. He's a believer in him. That makes him as odious as the rest. Dont be distracted by the uniform.

Since you're asking "what's wrong" with others, obviously you've condemned one or both of those individuals' utterly despicable comments directed at Kelly. But I've not seen your posts to that effect. Where should I look?

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who has so much hatred in their heart for you? You cannot have a civil discussion with a person like that - and you know it.

Quit trying to pick Trump's brain on what his intention was with the phone call. It makes it look like you support this imbecile of a woman and what she did.
