If you are on Facebook, have you seen those Memorial Day Wreaths... |
|
I was going through the process to get one thinking it was nice gesture on my part to show I care about the sacrifice those who have given their lives for the country.
Turns out this one is sponsored by a conservative organization and is pushing really hard for Ronald Reagan.
Curious that RR was more interested in making movies and raising war bonds than fighting for the country he loved.
I was furious because the true content of the program was not unveiled until the wreath was already on my Home Page.
I quickly removed this crap from my home page.
It really tells you a whole lot about conservatives who love to tout their patriotism and the sacred sacrifice so many have given by promoting a political agenda.
They really have no shame.

"they really have no shame"
oh well they must have their new talking points for the weekend
as for the facebook page. several of my classmates and my 7th grade school sweetheart are big reagan supporters and others obama haters. course it does`t help that i live in his hometown and my dad knew him.
thanks for the heads up.

2. I recommended this post |
|
I am sure that the people who created the wreath option think they have honorable intentions, but why trick people into appearing to support their cause?

I just removed mine as well. Too bad, my intention was only to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. :(
