re: #158 Rednek

I can appreciate both views on this.

But the fact of the matter is that journalists are a ghoulish lot and they will take pictures that will let them push their narrative.

Expect to see:

Coffins in black and white.
Coffins with dark clouds in the background.
Coffins juxtaposed with weeping relatives.
Coffins with stark shadows.
Coffins on dreary rainy days.
Coffins lined up in rows going into the distance.
Coffins sitting alone.
Coffins with misleading captions.
Coffins with frank lies.

Unless BHO is responsible for the coffins, in which case, you won’t see any.

What if the public started to see proud Americans waving flags? Veterans and children saluting their fallen heroes? Bereaved families standing together in strength and dignity? Maybe then patriotic Americans could fight back against the negativity of the anti-American media. Nobody was ashamed of the American dead in WWII and neither should they be so today.
