Kelly in particular deserves our respect and appreciation. His own son gave his life as a Marine in service to America.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"thm-piano-mop\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But I have to disagree with their recent public comments in opposition to President Trump. Not that President Trump can\u2019t be exasperating at times. He has a tendency to irritate his supporters as often as he infuriates his enemies. Not one of his most endearing qualities for sure, nor a wise political strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But my question to Generals Mattis and Kelly is, were things better under Barack Obama and Joe Biden? Did you agree with Barack Obama\u2019s \u201cfundamental transformation\u201d of the United States?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;Unless you weren\u2019t paying attention, Barack Obama publicly complained about the U.S. Constitution preventing him from what he wanted to do. Barack Obama told us all, \u201cI have a telephone and a pen,\u201d and warned he was going to do whatever he wanted in spite of what the U.S. Constitution allowed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>So who has posed the greater threat, a duly elected president who has been fighting an ongoing coup d\u2019etat since the day he took office, or a closet commie who is hiding behind the scenes and working hard to undermine his successor\u2019s presidency and complete his \u201cfundamental transformation\u201d of our country<wbr><\/wbr>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Why aren\u2019t you standing up in solidarity with President Trump who is trying to protect this nation right now against a radical leftist insurrection? Instead of criticizing the president, why aren\u2019t you offering counsel on how to address the insurgency that is underway in our land?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>If you haven\u2019t seen what has been taking place, how a coordinated, multifaceted, and expansive conspiracy to undo a presidential election through unconstitutional means that has been underway since November of 2016, then I wonder how you could ever have risen to such a high rank in the United States Marine Corps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Perhaps it\u2019s time for both Generals Mattis and Kelly to do a little soul searching. The preservation of our liberty and freedoms which President Trump doesn\u2019t threaten at all, but which is indeed threatened by the radical leftists in the Democratic Party, has been on full display for over three years now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It\u2019s Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and especially Barack Obama who threaten the very future of our country. They are the ones you should be speaking out against. Not the president who is trying his hardest to uncover the corruption and abuse of decades of career politicians from both political parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former employees are not known for their objective opinion of their prior boss, and sometimes being quiet is the best course of action.
