It’s a small gesture, but gestures matter at the hallowed grave site of so many murdered innocent Americans.

Barack Obama flings a memorial rose at Ground Zero like he’s a kid tossing pennies into a fountain at the shopping mall — or a spectator tossing flowers at a bullfight.

He doesn’t know what he’s doing.

(Clueless NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg copies him.)

By contrast, John McCain and his wife kneel and gently, somberly, place their roses down at the foot of the 9/11 tribute.

Tons of you e-mailed me about this. Here’s the vid for the rest of you who didn’t see it. It’s a telling cultural and generational distinction between these two men vying to be commander-in-chief of our nation.....

Pretty telling and a decent read.

Maybe because everyone is?

How many "rose" funerals or memorials have you been to?

I went to one for Columbine, and for military decorated guys, and a couple others.  

Some people toss the rose, some people set it.   Its not a personal affront.   Its not a lack of sophistication.   Miss Manners does not have a chapter on properly depositing roses on a grave.

We're falling into the same victimhood mindset of the liberals, and its sickening.
