A mother’s moral authority is absolute- unless she irritates liberals

In 2005 Maureen Dowd once wrote that the “moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute.”

What she really meant was the “moral authority according to liberals”

Aaron Vaughn was a member of SEAL Team 6 and was killed along with 21 other SEALs from Team 6 in 2011. After Joe Biden outed SEAL Team 6 as the group that killed Osama Bin Laden, Aaron Vaughn called his mom Karen with a dire plea:

“Aaron called me and said, ‘Mom, you need to wipe your social media clean of any reference to me or any of my buddies. Just disconnect completely,’” Karen Vaughn said her son warned after Vice President Biden publicly identified the SEALs on May 3, 2011 — two days after the raid. “He [Aaron] actually said to me, ‘Mom, there’s chatter, and all of our lives could be in danger, including yours’ … then I realized all of those families, you know, you’re talking about a community of around three hundred families who were all of a sudden made targets by this administration.”

Days later, Aaron was dead. Karen Vaughn has claimed that the obama regime put a target on her son’s back. She was totally ignored. No umbrage from the left, no national media paying attention.

Nothing, unlike Khizr Khan. Khan, the father of a fallen Muslim US Soldier, was invited to blast Donald Trump at the recent DNC. Khan threw this at Trump:

“Have you even read the U.S. Constitution? … You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”

That’s pretty amusing for someone who supports the wholesale savaging of the Constitution by America’s current reigning monarch. And pretty ironic for someone whose son was killed in a war voted for by Hillary Clinton.Edmund Kozak:

Trump was an opponent of the tragically shortsighted war in Iraq from the start. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, was an enthusiastic supporter of that war. This didn’t seem important to Mr. Khan, who claimed that “if it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America.”

Khan has been the darling of the media and a world apart from the treatment of Pat Smith, mother of Sean Smith, who was killed in Benghazi. She spoke at the GOP National Convention and was viciously attacked by the left wing media.  Chris Matthews said Smith “ruined” the Convention. He added:

“I don’t care what that woman up there, that mother has felt,” Matthews expressed. “Her emotions are her own.”

Hillary Clinton lied to both the families of the Benghazi dead and the rest of America, blaming a video when she knew otherwise. Now please pay attention. Clinton pretty much called Pat Smith and the Benghazi families liars:

“I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.”

Then she twisted the knife:

NO. CONSCIENCE. WHATEVER. EVERYONE. ASSOCIATED. WITH. THIS. ADMINISTRATION. PERIOD.

I want to see that vile bitch HRC on the end of a rope.

What is the back-story about Mr. Khan and his silent spouse?

“moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute”

Fascinating. So then Solomon, what do we do when parents of dead kids are diametrically opposed in their conclusions and opinions? Flip a freaking coin? What happens when another gold star dad begs the government to stop all immigration from moslem terror hotbeds? Is his moral authority “beyond question”? Because I bet we could find quite a few in that position too.

Idiots. And as for me, total respect is given to the one who died. Families, get respect to the degree they earn it. If they become a traitor, or suggest flooding my nation with jihadis, then the deal is over.

Deep grief is a true form of clinical psychosis. We do not turn to deeply emotionally distraught people to drive a car, make big decisions, or set national policy. Sue me.

Mr. And Mrs. khan are supporters of sharia law and possibly Muslim Brotherhood connections....Someone needs to seriously look into this...where are all the conservative media....oh yeah, we no longer have “investigative journalists”....well except for o’Keefe....

And then, the Mussolini treatment, with chair shots a buck each.

What does Khan mean when he says Trump “sacrificed no one”? That phrasing sounds odd to me since muzzies are in the habit of sacrificing anyone around them to suit their cause.
