| Obama Dishonors Memorial Day at Hiroshima |
| 2016-05-29 |
| [Breitbart] Does anyone think it an accident that President Obama chose Memorial Day weekend to give his high-sounding moral equivalence speech in Hiroshima calling for a "moral revolution"? No, of course it wan't an accident and no, no one is surprised at his actions. What Obama proposed in his speech in Japan is moral disarmament, and the consequences of that moral capitulation will be horrific if the world follows his advice. At Hiroshima, Obama was silent on the question of American sacrifice, American valor, and American virtue, but eloquent on the issue of American guilt. What Obama did NOT do in his speech in Japan was to praise America’s fallen warriors, the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice saved the world from nuclear war over the 71 years since that first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Obama is wrong, but if even half of Americans agree with the president, then we have abandoned the meaning of Memorial Day and substituted Atonement Day in its place. And if America’s future leaders think our nation has no further need to honor our fallen warriors, America may discover we have no warriors willing to tread in their path. Obama’s moral capitulation presents a stark and sobering contrast with the patriotism of a different President, America’s chosen leader only one generation ago. Thirty-two years ago in 1984 Ronald Reagan went to the beaches of Normandy to honor the fallen warriors of many nations who made the ultimate sacrifice to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. |

| #8 This is quite stunning. On the eve of the Obama's final Memorial Day in office I feel shame and sorrow for him...here is an arrogant man with no American heritage...his father a Kenyan, his mother a pitiful communist...yet he imagines himself wiser and somehow more...moral...than the millions of veterans that fought and sacrificed to establish and preserve our Republic. I may not be a wise man - but even I realize the weapon used at Hiroshima saved 500,000 US soldier's lives and at least 1,000,000 Japanese lives. Obama's arrogance and position do not hide his stupidity. This Memorial Day I will not preach moral equivalence, I will honor the memory and sacrifice of my best friend that gave his life for our brothers on a Medevac mission outside of Basra. That is what Memorial Day is for...a time to reflect the last full measure of devotion paid by our true heroes. |
