Rocking the Funeral
examiner ^ | 1/13/11 | bray

Posted on 01/13/2011 5:34:29 AM PST by bray

The Messiah gave one of his most inspirational speeches to kick off this 2012 re-election that had everything except a balloon drop and confetti. The cheers and fainting was back as the mock Catholic service was performed with Father Opapa giving the message. It was a great pep rally but a really poor memorial, liberals don't feel compassion.

How could it be a “mock Catholic” service?
a nativist shaman in a public arena?

Or did you mean it was meant to mock Catholics?
It didn’t because it wasnt even close to a religious rite.

It was truly bizarre. I have been to a large memorial service of the same size for four murdered police officers here in Washington, and there was nothing similar between the two. One was somber, beautiful, moving, heartbreaking, touching, and respectful. The other was a raucous circus.

And the Indian Blessing was so laughable. He not only blessed the four doors, and the winds, he went on to bless worms in the ground, fish of the sea, and all the other creatures. Just strange.

I’m through with Krauthammer. He may be right on a couple of issues, but I know that he is most assuredly not on my side.

Obama remarked that Gabby opened her eyes for the first time just after he left her hospital room.

She opened her eyes for the first time because they cut back on her sedatives.

From yesterday afternoon's news conference on Gabby's condition.. Giffords Becomes More 'Spontaneous' as Sedation Is Reduced

"We've really been able to reduce her sedation and as a result she has become more and more spontaneous," said Dr. Rhee, who is the medical director of the University Medical Center Trauma and Critical Care Department.

She is now able to even feel her wounds herself. She can fix her gown and make very specific movements, so she is making tremendous progress."

*** “Is ‘Together We Thrive’ the replacement for ‘Together We Can’... Is this 2012’s slogan?” ***

Sure sounded like it, didn’t it? Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.

Disgusting display of Obamaism (The spirit of Hitler & Nazism is alive and well in the Obama universe!!! Sad for the victims of this tragedy, sad for our nation. Sad for a media that is state controlled. All these so called advantages for Obama and his cohorts, but....truth is they ain’t gonna work!!!

“Ah! The “open her eyes” lie! “

And they reported earlier in the day that they were bringing her out of her medically induced coma - so opening her eyes before, during, or after Obama’s visit was going to happen, and completely expected.

“Nobody makes being dead more fun than Barack 0bama”

I am so stealing that, thank you.

Based on everything we have seen from this reflection in a mirror did we truly expect anything else?

First Wellstone and now Tuscon. I wonder if we can get Congress to pass an emergency legislation banning all liberal/progressive/socialist/dimocrat attendance and/or participation at funerals?

BTW - the term “last full measure” doesn't mean using a person's funeral as a backstop for political posturing and/or reelection bid.

Kraut worked for Carter and then Mondale.

Is there any doubt where his loyalties lie.

“So yes, we must examine all the facts behind this tragedy. We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of violence in the future.”

Barack Obama, 2011
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/01/12/branding-the-tuscon-massacre-together-we-thrive-in-white-and-blue/

What does ‘challenge old assumptions’ mean? In one paragraph, 0bama speaks of the derangement of the shooter. In the next, he uses the ‘wider context’ of ‘old assumptions.’ It is attributing to one person in one data point a hasty generalization in application to all data points.

The list of fallacies this concept uses is lengthy, and requires refutation:
-disproving a negative
-fallacy of necessity
-gambler’s fallacy
-if-by-whiskey
-(and on and on)

Please bone up on these things and refute. It is imperative to refute statemennts made that reveal faulty logic used to WIN the debate. Do not leave this to lawyers, who automatically use the appeal to authority fallacy and moral necessity fallacy in trying to control the message and events.

Why did the people of Arizona go to this disgusting event. They are a big disappointment also.

Another Wellstone memorial service.

Democrats cannot be trusted to remember the dead.

It's probably the dope.

Alas, Nancy Pelosi was there as was Louise Slaughter ~ and here eyes, on their own, instantly closed and did not reopen.

That must have been one heck of a nightmare eh!

What could be easier than to give an “inspirational” speech on the occasion of a mass murder?

This reached almost the same level of tackiness as the Paul Wellstone “memorial”. The passing out of t-shirts was nothing short of pathetic. Imagine Lincoln’s staff passing out campaign buttons at the Gettysburg Address.

"And his repeated comment that “she opened her eyes” as if his presence(if he was there at the time)was the fact that made her eyes open."

Yeah....Gabby sensed the presence of the ANGEL OF DEATH....opened her eyes ...

and promptly went back into a coma.

I have never been to a funeral where people cheered. If the american people cannot see this faux president for what he is then they get what they deserve. We here @ FR know better & will make our own way w/out them.
This was truly shameless politicking.
Like the left says, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”.
