This war is morally indefensible
If you have come to believe that the words “fixing the facts around the policy,” means anything other then “fixing the facts around the policy” your stupidity continues to make heroes out of the love of our mothers. One of those mothers happens to have camped herself outside the presidents retreat to ask a question about those words. The president somehow believes that although those words were used to describe his actions that our soldiers are being sent to their deaths nobly. She has made it her responsibility to understand what was so noble about the cause her child and many others was sent off to die for.

If you find yourself defending against the opinion of a grieving mother you need a reality check. How deluded does someone have to be to question the love a mother has for her child? Every time a voice stands opposed to this president a pattern of sleaze and slime oozes from the infotainment ditto brigade to assail that voice. Why shouldn’t we assume they are doing it for the man they are protecting?

Who in their right mind defends a president’s lack of performance and reality by bashing a grieving mother? I hope that if I ever acted so asinine my own mother would slap that dumb out of me!

There are too many grieving mothers who only think about two things. That they will never see their child again and for what “noble cause” has their child been sacrificed?

We shouldn’t hesitate to engage these moms in order understand their plight, especially if we can’t empathize with them, because “we the people” are creating them. I could almost forgive the few corporations who own the news supply chain for completely missing the boat on a grieving mothers reality. Except that the very meaning of the society that I love and embrace is accountability. It is because of accountability that I will not ever forget how a grieving mother was treated by the perpetually wrong supply chain of news.

In fact that there is no one available to be accountable to a grieving mother of our fallen soldiers is bad enough. Watching the presidents pack of political hit men attack this grieving mother for doing the job they pretend to only exposes, to this American there is nothing more important to them but their president. Attacking a mother in such a state shows that anyone who cracks the facade of the man whose image they keep painting over will suffer their wrath. It is an epic fraud wake up America!

Now for reality, no matter what tactic is used against a grieving mother she will always be morally above it all. Her love and pain is pure, unlike the motivations of politicos. There are not many images more powerfully tuned to the human soul then that of a mother morning the loss of her child. This is an image we should all know well because it is our lack of compassion towards her loss and her reality that will turn more of the love our mothers into fallen heroes. Someone has to be accountable in a democracy there should be no exceptions. Not even for a president who has always had exceptions for his
