Good for him.

Hussein Obama ordered U.S. flags at half staff to honor a South African Communist, something he refused to do for stalwart British ally Margaret Thatcher upon her death or for slain American patriot, Chris Kyle.

Share that with all the deniers.

Bless him.....Stand strong, Sheriff!

[Robe]

Damn I’m proud to be a South Carolinian

I wish My Sheriff had the guts to do that here in NC.

A foreign born communist is not worthy of an American half-mast flag. That being said we shouldn’t lower the flag for Mandela either.

An elected sheriff doesn’t take orders from the president. Good for him. Some of us need to be reminded that the president isn’t our boss. He;s not a king.

Nelson Mandela did great things for his country and was a brave man but he was not an AMERICAN!!!

I agree totally.

Flying the flag at half staff should be reserved for the loss of great Americans; statesmen and heroes.

Perhaps the flag could be flown at half staff for a foreign national that has done great service for the United States or was a great leader of an important ally. (Winston Churchill who was half American for example)

Standing. Ovation.

[SandRat]

As they say in Australia “Good on You Mate!”

[Conspiracy Guy]

Obama can only require US Flags at Federal Offices and properties be flown at half staff,(States, Counties, and Cities are free to do as they please). In Mandella’s case the US Flag at half staff is unwarranted and undeserved. But consider the source.

[PghBaldy]

Won’t say where it is, but saw a flag the past few days that is always lowered with Dear Leader orders it, except this time...

I'm impressed with this Sheriff and also with most freepers who are not falling for the news media worship of the genocidal communist Mandela.

I'm also impressed with Sarah Palin who has remained silent

here it says there is a stage 6 genocide in South Africa, mandela’s enduring legacy.

http://www.realnews24.com/genocide-watch-upgrades-south-africa-stage-6-preparation/

that is a genocide of whites in South Africa by a black government.

In South Africa many white women getting raped and tortured to death proof:

As I read it, the asshat may order the flag lowered to half staff on those premises under his or some government control Given that, mine is not going to half staff today, tomorrow, or next mellenium for Mendela. It flies to the left of my Gadsden flag each day.

I was happy that the Chiefs won today...but listening to the post game press conference, something funny happened.

Head Coach Andy Reid interjected some nonsense about Mandela...out of nowhere really, and he prefaced it with some statement to the effect that he hadn’t had the chance to comment on it before.

Some hidden force is keeping score on which leaders, even in the sports world, remained silent instead of slathering praise on Mandela. Its the Mt Everest of PC run amuck.

[Gritty]

I don't remember the President ordering all the flags to half-staff when that helicopter full of SEAL Team 6 and other Special Forces was shot down in Afghanistan?

Did I miss it?
