An illogical conclusion--nothing "reasonable" about it. It is pure speculation and trolling on the part of the OP.

Ahhh....I see. It's NOT trolling when somebody posts a bogus thread about the President in regards to his actions. But it IS trolling when somebody applies that same logic to the other side of the fence and begs a question based on the same style of thought. Gotcha.

But, nope. Not this time. Not this president.
That's a nice observation, thanks for pointing that out. Clearly that was missed somewhere in their ridiculous hysteria.

Why such hatred towards President Lincoln? Perhaps because he freed Black people from slavery?

Obama Skipping Arlington Memorial Day Ceremony for Weekend in Chicago | The FOX Nation

You aren't that stupid, I am sure. However, I will say to you that this conservative is mad at him because several Presidents before him went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to lay the wreath and he is stopping that hallowed practice to go home to Chicago and will use the Lincoln site as a substitute. It is just him breaking tradition so often that we are unhappy about, not that he is going to Lincoln's burial place since it is near his home ground.

This is one sad attempt at stirring things up, Holden but about all anyone should expect from a troll of your caliber.

The tomb of the unknowns is in Arlington, VA, not Illinois.

So fake. You don't really care about this, you only want to cry about something.

Darn it, Kat, the leaners around here will not like you talking like that, but thanks for showing them all that truth in such a short post.

I wonder if there is a chance that Obama will be able to squeeze in a meeting with Blago or maybe, his buddies of the Chicago mafia. Whoops he can't meet any of those people since most of them are in the White House in DC these days.

You haven't "gotcha" anything. It is pure speculation on the part of the OP that " Conservatives outraged that Obama is honoring veterans at a cemetery named after Lincoln" (thread title) and there is no way such an assertion could ever be anything other than speculation. He is saying that conservatives are PO'd because POTUS is speaking at a cemetery named after Abraham Lincoln and by extension their displeasure is because Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that ended slavery and by further extension that conservatives would like to reimpose slavery. Nothing could be further from the truth and you (and the OP) both know it.

No gotcha here.

Darn it, I gave you a rep point for the funny post back there and now can't for this serious, good post.

Great attempt at making this simple enough for THEM to understand although I don't think you have simplified it enough for some of THEM.
