NOT TO DENY THAT THE LATE JOHN MCCAIN was a war hero. He endured valiently a great deal of pain and suffering with integrity in his day while lots of men were dodging the draft.
But heroism then is not a lifetime pass for always being admired. The McCain funeral today---which I did not see cause I was visiting friends briefly in Banner Elk, NC from the SoHo---left me cold. From reports it seemed mean-spirited, jealous and hateful towards Trump, among others.
Such a long, drawn out funeral event seemed like over-kill and gross political theater that seemed to leave out God. But why should that be surprising? For so many citizens and politicians, government is god in our post-Christian era. The left needs government heros as never before. So how could it miss an opportunity to turn a funeral into a political orgy and hit job. Does anyone doubt that Meghan McCain today gave her political acceptance speech for running for whatever office and stepping into her father's shoes?
It was a captive audience.
