Fed-Up PA Mayor Lowers Flag in Honor of Slain Marines

Although he admits he lacked the authority to do it, the mayor of a small Pennsylvania town lowered the American flag to half-staff in honor of the victims of the Chattanooga shooting.

In the wake of the deadly attack, many Americans have been wondering why the president has not ordered U.S. flags be lowered to half-staff at the White House and other public buildings in memory of the slain U.S. servicemen.

On Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine Saturday night, Marine Corps veteran Nick Powers called Obama’s lack of a presidential proclamation “ridiculous” and blasted him for having flags flown at half mast for a non-citizen — Nelson Mandela — but not these five slain American servicemen.

[Sir Napsalot]

Another EPIC FAIL for Obama.

'tragic circumstance' my @ss.

[Sir Napsalot]

"Given that he had ordered flags be flown at half-staff following the shootings at Fort Hood, the Aurora Century Theater, Virginia Tech, and Sandy Hook, it seems like a reasonable expectation."

Thumbs up for Mayor Sal Panto Jr. of Easton, PA.

Because you don’t pay respect to enemy combatants.../s

[BigEdLB]

Why would he need “permission”?

[Buttons12]

I wouldn’t call Easton a “small PA town.”

[Paladin2]

The mayor has no authority over his own town’s flagpole? In America?

They often say actions speak louder than words.

Many have suspected 0bama to be a non-citizen of our Nation, everyday 0bama’s actions prove he is not a citizen(more likely an illegal immigrant) and certainly not a Christian as so many would like to believe.

[I want the USA back]

0 deliberately and intentionally decided to not lower the flags because he loves jihadi towelhead bearded savages more than he loves Americans.

He lowered it for Whitney Houston after she died from a drug overdose. He made the White House rainbow colored for a handful of queers.

I think there's something wrong with obomas head. The man just isn't right upstairs. He was evil before, but now I think he's gone insane.

We need to find a cure for stupid so that an Obama can never happen again in the US. Because there'll always be far left pieces of crap like him seeking high office. We need to raise the national IQ. Or require a minimal IQ score in order to vote.

Maybe if one of the Marines was a fag...

Just shows how scared and PC even the smallest of towns have become to the Feds.

We are a nation of slaves to Washington. Pathetic.

Thank goodness we have FR to remind us of these obscene comparisons.

Why doesn't one of the wannabees for President bring this up, that we're at war with radical Islam on our own shores? Oh, yeah, they're too busy defending John McCain.

Or a transgendered.

We have a local funeral home that lowers it’s flag whenever there is a veteran’s service. It’s a nice gesture but I am not sure it is proper flag code.

Don’t ever expect anything decent from Obama. He is incapable of a decent thought, let alone a decent action.

He's only 'decent' towards America's enemies.

[P.O.E.]

PA Ping!

If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.

Thanks!

Thanks Sir Napsalot

Well God Bless that PA mayor!

In other words, he gave the feds the famous “Bronx salute”.

[sneakers]

Good for him! I wish our town - also in Pa - would follow suit. Not holding my breath though!
