| Spengler: A funeral for a world that never was |
| 2018-09-04 |
| [ATimes] Senator John McCain's grand funeral was also a chance for the Establishment to take one step closer to its grave. Funeral services are not for the benefit of the defunct, who is beyond our praise or condemnation, but for the living, who know before long that they will follow the honored dead into a cold grave. Senator John McCain’s funeral was the most ostentatious that Washington has accorded except for a president, and much grander than the 2006 funeral of Gerald Ford, for example. The American Establishment took the opportunity to mourn a world that it imagined but never inhabited. |

| #7 McSsssscccchhhhhtain was exccccccssssshhhhtremely bitter that "legacy" enrollment did not include a flag rank for himself. All the other damage he did courting America's enemies was strictly collateral damage. Those who endow the now deceased man with a three-D chess mind have tragically overthought it... |

| #5 I thought the photo that supposedly shows McCain with ISIS leaders was proven to be false and those Arab guys are not terrorists. I agree with the article I just think there is no reason to use false photos as evidence. |

| #4 "A shared identity and values that transcend ideology, class or race." Yeah, globalism. The Establishment politicians have far more in common with one another than they do us. They certainly don't represent us in government. As far as they are concerned, we can die in a fire. |

| #3 I particularly likes the pallet load of American greenback cash being swung out on the forklift for the Iranian mullahs. That was sweet. Oh, and you can keep your doctor and your HealthPlan...period. What Brain Cancer or Tumor was it McCain had? Remind me again. Explain it to me medically, go into detail, was it the whole brain got eaten up or only part of McCains brain? The brain stem or the Hemispheric parts ? Or ALL of it? |

| #2 Unlike McNamara, McCain never thought that he had made a mistake. He clung to a failed policy out of conviction. During his last years he erupted with anger at old friends who questioned his judgment on matters such as the Muslim Brotherhood. He was a tool of the shadow gov't. The same denial is found in Obama, John Brennan and their cohorts. Members of congress do not meet with enemy combatants or pass along scandalous dossiers from foreign sources unless sanctioned to do so. |

| #1 As they say - a picture worth a thousand words. Now all we need to go with it is the pic of him voting against abolishing Obamacare. |
