The late Sen. John McCain is being lauded far and wide for his long career of public service. Rep. John Lewis, the famous civil rights activist, hailed McCain as a “warrior for peace.” In reality, McCain embodied a mix of moralism and militarism that worked out badly for America and the world.

McCain’s not “being lauded far and wide.”

His death is being propagandized by the Deep State, controlled media, and permanent government bureaucracy exactly like dead Soviet leaders were in the 70’s and 80’s

McCain, Graham and Rubio thought it was a good idea to arm jihadists.

McCain is dead, but Rubio and Graham need to be replaced at the first opportunity.

Graham in 2020

Rubio in 2022

True. But such was the Cold War formula. That recipe has had a checkered history of successes and failures, but if you look at it in the Cold War (and Second World War) context it wasn't wholly a fiasco.

Something is kinda sick about a man who sees war up close, then becomes an enthusiast about it afterwards and wants more of it.

Like alcohol, war magnifies who you are. If you were basically decent, you come out very decent. If you were not much of a good person, you come out worse.
He was a spoiled depraved man when he went in, and come out a monster, a whore for sale.

Frog Face-John Lewis needs to stop being such a hypocrite.
Just a few years ago, he was called McCain a racist, just for daring to oppose Obama for the presidency.
Does he think everybody has forgotten that?

Lewis also told us that Mitt Romney was going to bring back Jim Crow segregation.

Lewis is basically the cymbals player in the Democrat orchestra. His only note is “Selma”.

The al-McCaini brigades in Idlib will finally be on the receiving end of the bombing strategy their martyr espoused.

McCain was a fraud who heaped the Maverick label on himself...when he was finally confronted with a REAL Maverick, his fragile ego couldn’t handle it....

Wow, times change.

Rep. John Lewis has a history of being a liar for so many decades, he deserves the Alger Hiss Award.
