When should the flag be flown at half staff?

[al baby]

NEVER !!!!!

[Lurkinanloomin]

When McCain dies, we should add ten feet to every flag pole.

[Darteaus94025]

Whenever a Dhimmicrat is President.

Maybe a new national holiday, just to celebrate getting rid of the asshole.

[RetiredArmy]

I’ll fly mine in celebration at half mast the day the dimocrat party is buried once and for all.

It should be lowered when someone has died who has done good for this country or a nation tragedy happens like 911. But of course it’s not lowered for those reasons. For example the fat tub of pig vomit Christ Christie had the flags lowered in New Jersey when professional crack head Whitney Houston met the end result of being a crack head.

Memorial Day from Sunrise until Noon and then back to full staff until sunset.

September 11 from Sunrise to Sunset.

The ONLY other day I fly my nation’s Flag is Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11 (full staff Sunrise to Sunset)

They should have been flown upside down since FDR kicked the Constitution to the curb....

[SkyDancer]

For liberals it’s when some liberal movie star or entertainer dies.

Obama flew the flag at half staff for the loss of the jihadi. Not the Amerifans. And he flew half staff when a crackhead died.

It gets too depressing when this happens all the time. It makes it seem like the country is on its knees. But it has become a political football. People say: "You lowered the flag for that, why not for this." So the number of flag-lowerings gradually increases.

A long time ago the flag was only lowered when a president or ex-president died. Maybe that was about the right frequency, but is even that necessary?

You could solve this issue with legislation delimiting the occasions when the flag is lowered. Or the president could just say, "We're not going to lower the flag any more for any reason."

Why was the flag lowered yesterday?
Noticed it here in north Georgia.

[GoldenPup]

...”fat tub of pig vomit”.

I love your description.

Thanks for the link. I’m just happy, as a Veteran, to be able to salute the flag while standing for the National Anthem. What a beautiful flag and a wonderful (but difficult to sing) song to honor it and the Patriots who died protecting our liberty.

Lower the flag to half-mast this coming Monday.

It's Peace Officers' Memorial Day.

[OldSmaj]

In your opinion, at what instances should the American flag be lowered?

Well...since I maintain my own 42 foot pole, with lights and all the proper lanyards, etc...I will decide what, when and how.

I fly half-staff on MY decision and if I don't like the whoever that died, I don't change it.

Currently, I observe Memorial Day, Veterans Day and the death anniversaries of some of my good friends, with whom I served and have since passed on.

I will NOT observe McCain's death, sure as HELL not Pelosi...and I'll make a at-the-time decision for past presidents, etc.

But I can also assure you, it will NOT be half-staff for Carter or Clinton...and I'll burn my damned house and flag-staff down before I'll fly half-staff for that piece of shit obama.

THIS is Fort Home...I'm the Supreme Commander...your mileage may vary.

"For example the fat tub of pig vomit Christ Christie had the flags lowered in New Jersey when professional crack head Whitney Houston met the end result of being a crack head."

No, obama did that - it was nationwide.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I wonder how many vets he did that for.

This gets the flags lowered..

This doesn't...
