Quoted: Flag code does give the President the power to order it lowered at his discretion. That would only be a valid order for federal facilities though. How he chooses to exercise the power is of course open for debate, scorn, etc. View Quote The dipshit-in-chief will order the minions to do his bidding regardless of tradition, regulations or even the Constitution. Never lets the opportunity to stick his thumb in the eye of the conservative right go to waste. |

I am active duty mil currently an instructor, on friday one of my students asked why the flag was lowered to half staff. I said that who ever had raised it muast have confused the 6th with the 7th.
One of the LT's who over heard the question spoke up and said that it was because of Mandela. My first thought was " thats impossible, he isnt American". Then I remembered the NPR report I heard on my way in about how Obama was inspired by Mandela and that feeling of rage swept my body. I'm not one to post the FBO stuff, because Thats what the majority of my country wanted and because at the end of the day he us my boss and what sort of professional would I be if I did that. While Nelson Mandela made a shity place marginally less shity which is a major accomplishment for anywhere in Africa, at the end of the day he wasnt an American. This cheapens the value of flying the flag at half staff. |

So are they going to order flags at half staff when the Brit Queen dies? No non-American should have our flag lowered for them. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Good, Mandela hated the US. No reason to have any flags at half staff. So are they going to order flags at half staff when the Brit Queen dies? No non-American should have our flag lowered for them. We did it for Pope John Paul II back in 2005. Yes, we have lowered the flag for foreign people before Mandela. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Foreign-Policy/2013/1206/US-flags-lowered-for-Mandela-rare-honor-for-a-foreign-leader King Hussein of Jordan in 1999 Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 Anwar Sadat in 1981 Churchill in 1965 |

Good for him...although he will certainly now be audited by the IRS. Link The American flag that flies over the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office will be raised high tonight despite an order by President Barack Obama that flags across the country be lowered to half-staff to honor the death of iconic South African leader Nelson Mandela. Sheriff Rick Clark told The Greenville News that he has ordered the flag be raised at the end of today because he said the honor of lowering flags to half-staff should be reserved for Americans. "The flag at half-staff is for Americans’ ultimate sacrifice for our country,” Clark said. "We should never stray away from that.” Oh, I like how this guy thinks. Me too. |

Noticed the VA state police had theirs lowered yesterday. When I go to work in the morning, if its still down, I may have to make a phone call and tell them they should be ashamed.

I would not be able to resist wading in and smashing some faces, then I would go to jail or possibly be killed. And I'm still not sure it wouldn't be worth it. |
