For Zer0 to honor Neil Armstrong in a state memorial would go against Zer0’s refusal to recognize individual effort and America’s exceptionalism.

The answer is: probably not - too inconvenient. They have time, so I doubt it's due to inconvenience. Death is never convenient - so they can't claim that. Obama and an American hero is like vinegar and oil.

Why should he? Armstrong was a great American, a real hero who left a great legacy. But he didn’t build that.

0bama and co would probably prefer that people forget that men like Neil Armstrong ever existed. His Norman Rockwell childhood and his life of service are anathema to the Progressive religion.

Actually, I will be happy if there is no state funeral. Obama would just turn it into a political event. And Obama’s hypocrisy of honoring the first man to walk on the moon after he personally trashed the program which made that walk possible would be nauseating.
No, let Neil Armstrong rest in peace.

Obama can't have anyone stealing his thunder. Not Neil Armstrong, not Tiger Woods, not Seal Team 6...because stealing is his job.

Come on people. Neil would not have wanted a state funeral. He was a humble man. The last thing he would have wanted was a big dog and pony show funeral (was that a pun?).

Or maybe the family didn’t want one. Ever think of that? Armstrong is a man who spent his post-Apollo 11 life avoiding the limelight. I have no idea if Obama offered or not, but the idea that Armstrong or his family would want a national circus of a funeral is ridiculous. And I really think that all these people trying to make a political issue out of it is an insult to the memory of a brave man.

Does anyone know if they’re even dipping the flags for Armstrong? Or have they denied him even that?

Obama is not offering a state-funeral for Armstrong for the same reason he dismantled NASA... he hates White boys and their achievements.
No more complicated than that.
