Obama's penchant for half-staff may suggest his love for a US in defeat

President Obama has had the Stars and Stripes lowered 66 times since 2009, exceeding George W. Bush's 58 and Bill Clinton's 50 times of ordering the flag to be lowered. Obama has ordered the flag to be lowered more times than any president in history. This traditional symbolism of significant death in America may be serving a small psychological role in the big picture of destroying the Republic.

Somehow, it took the president five days to order the lowering of the flag for five Tennessee military service members who were also killed by an ISIS-linked terrorist named Muhammad Abdulaziz

Obama was confused as to who were the good guys and who were the bad guys in this case.

[Buckeye McFrog]

In his worldview that flag does not DESERVE to fly at full staff.

Yes, Obama is the architect of American and western culture decline. He is the anti colonialist the world has been waiting for. He probably urinated on Churchill's bust before drop kicking it back across the Atlantic.

[BurrOh]

Yes, this thought has passed through my mind more than once. “0” enjoys lowering the United States flag and balks at honoring it.

He gets confused a lot except when it comes to money.......

Could be he lowers the flag to signify America in defeat, to signal to Americas enemies that he’s got donation solicitation letters going out.

Time to write out the checks to his 2 foundations and to his library.

Mine has remained at full staff. Not out of any disrespect, but out of defiance, not of him as much as defiance toward the Muslim scum who mean us harm. I want our flag to burn into their retinas.

I will lower it when certain great Americans die, such as Antonin Scalia.

Last time I did that, it cost me a flag. The flagpole is too close to the house and it snagged the gutter.

Check out this news story about an off the grid vet who loves the American flag. He lives not far from me.

During the rest of Little Bathroom Barry’s administration, we should not only fly the US flag at half staff, but upside down, too.

[OrangeHoof]

Or maybe it’s a sign that more people want to be dead under a President Obama than under Bush or Clinton. When the will to live goes, the body often follows.

He’s not rooting for America and never has. Its painfully obvious.

[pfflier]

it took the president five days to order the lowering of the flag for five Tennessee military service members

But he was all over it for Whitney Houston and for the Orlando victims. IMHO neither warrant that honor traditionally reserved for deceased military.

If only asked, I’m certain most Americans would agree. Not only agree, but proceed to turn our flag upside down to blow in the breeze. The pResident in our oo is a puzzle missing many pieces.

[Iron Munro]

Obama is just thankful that Mateen didn’t attack the homo club on a night when he was there.

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

Ms. Houston, no.

But Orlando was an enemy attack on unarmed civilians with 49 dead and over 50 wounded. I don’t begrudge them the flag at half staff.

[Honorary Serb]

In front of one suburban workplace that I drove by a few days ago were the US and State flags, on separate flagpoles, both at half-staff.

Under the state flag was the detestable rainbow flag!!!!!

This is the first time that I've seen the disgusting rainbow flag outside of an urban area, except for ultra-liberal "churches" that always display the "gay" flag!!!!

PHOOEY!!!
