Parading.

“Whoever wants to be first among you must become your servant.” Matthew 20:27

I never cease to be amazed. I am about 10 years behind our fearless leader. I was also about 10 years behind the Vietnam generation, the civil rights movement, and all of the protests in the streets during the 1960’s.

Despite the fact we only had three news channels when I was a child, it was obvious the violence in those protests were triggered more by law enforcement personnel than the actual protesters.

I find it interesting that a generation that was plagued by protests in their younger years wants to sit back and criticize, attack, and try to neutralize today’s right to protest.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

The same is true when a demand is issued for a military parade honoring a branch of the military by a person who never served in any branch of our armed services. Think about it: A draft dodger wanted all Americans to applaud his efforts to have a military parade.

Oh, it was in honor of the army, but it just so happened the parade took place on the draft dodger’s birthday. I think we once again see another example of hypocrisy in motion.

I don’t think our National Guard needs to police people. I also don’t agree that an expensive parade was a good use of money. To lead effectively, you must first serve.
