A funeral for a world that never was: Senator John McCain’s grand funeral was also a [tr]

Funeral services are not for the benefit of the defunct, who is beyond our praise or condemnation, but for the living, who know before long that they will follow the honored dead into a cold grave.

Senator John McCain’s funeral was the most ostentatious that Washington has accorded except for a president, and much grander than the 2006 funeral of Gerald Ford, for example. The American Establishment took the opportunity to mourn a world that it imagined but never inhabited.

Any good American seeks to spit on his grave.

Leftists are making a hero out of a traitorous scoundrel.

Wellstoning America, coming up with a fake poll showing Democrats have regained a clear advantage in the race for the House and denouncing Trump as a habitual liar - these people are throwing everything including the kitchen sink in a sustained effort to overturn the 2016 election.

And its only September.

I’ve seen three or four short clips of the McCain service, but I’ve kinda noted that no Navy pilot, POW member, or shipmates....were speaking there. Or am I wrong? Just odd to think about.

It was a message by the deep state to show how you would be honored after selling out the American people and not repenting even on your deathbed

“(During the Bush years) If the United States had devoted a small fraction of that $6 trillion to frontier research in military technologies, America still would be the unchallenged hyperpower.”

I pray that it’s not too late....

The New World Order dreams of the Bush family are what the establishment is mourning.

Trump has given the citizens the chance to keep our country that the establishment had tried mightily to deny US.

Our freedoms and sovereignty are what stand in the way of their vision of that New World Order.

If we do not replace all Bush League Republicans, this will be a brief reprieve.

This is a great article. Too many sections are worthy of a pull quote. As Glenn Reynolds says, read the whole thing.

In 2012, Senator McCain backed the installation of a Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt.

In July 2013, more than 30 million Egyptians – a majority of the adult population – demonstrated against the country’s Muslim Brotherhood government. Under General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt’s military took control of the country, which was nearly out of food. Al-Sisi saved Egypt from starvation and chaos.

Senator McCain sadly denounced the military takeover as a violation of the democratic process. Technically speaking it was a coup against an elected government, although under emergency conditions and with massive and visible popular support. So beguiled was McCain with the prospect of a democratic Islamic regime that he never accepted that his illusion had vanished.

Very good reminder about how McCain was in lock step with President Jarrett and her puppet ObaMao on this issue.

Concerning McCain’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood governing Egypt, I’m reminded of a cartoon about Hamas taking over the Palestinian government. A professionally dressed Palestinian man is standing in front of the copier screaming, red-faced, “Death to the infidel who didn’t replace the toner cartridge!” The cartoon is captioned, “Hamas adjusts to governance.”

Two good quotes:

“The opportunists, careerists, ideologues and fools who ruined America’s strategic position in the world should be the continuing object of public ridicule, but they have safety in numbers.”

“Trump is hated because the American people elected him to bury the Establishment. Last weekend the Establishment obliged by conducting burial services for itself.”

So very true for many of the Deep State satanic sub-human scumbags at McCain's funeral.

You could see it on their faces. You could hear it in their eulogies.

They know justice is coming for them, just as it did for McCain. Years overdue, but it is coming soon.

And they are screeching like the vampires they are, like they have been splashed with Holy Water.
