We should never lower our flag as a result or enemy or criminal action. It only gives incentive to enemy and criminal activity. Lower it for natural deaths of remarkable people only. I think it’s been at half staff half the time this year! Obama likes it that way.

Yep. Not doing it. Anyone who doesn’t like it can GO POUND SAND.

The flag still, even today, means something to me. I am not going to crap on it by lowering it for the likes of Ted Kennedy or any individual entertainer or news person.

They didn’t lower the flag to half-staff when 150 men were killed in one day in Vietnam. They don’t lower it when a dedicated serviceman loses his life in combat.

Pearl Harbor I get. 9/11 I get. But Ted Kennedy? Whitney Houston?

Nope.
