When they lowered the flag for the hookers shot in Atlanta it was too much. I do understand it, as to the left, nothing is more important than getting their nut.
Uh oh, Xiden slipping up. Isn’t this a way of saying that Islam is bad? Maybe even almost as bad as American patriotism.
It has been cheapened already for a while. I see half mast flag all the time and always wander what happened.
That’s bad - half mast flag should be only in cases of major national tragedy. Like Bidet residency, I guess.
Obviously Bidet is trying made a political point - Orange Man killed all those people by covid.
Guns kill people, we need regulations.
But this is not the way.
I am wandering, when they start putting flag on half mast because some traffic accident or when some Hollywood star dies?!
The Capitol Police can shoot a black man without even a whimper from these socialists of BLM, and they can shoot a woman in cold blood without identifying the policeman who shot her.. They play a very tight game, the totalitarian socialist ba$tids. Washington DC has become Cuba.
Theuy can lower the flags at the capitol all they want. I won't be bowing.
May the dead officer RIP, andnot be disturbed by the huge quantiyu of fake patriotic hay being made on huis death,
I still say lower your flags you pusillanimous bastids , for what?:
I’ve been telling everyone who asks that it is because of the passing of Rush Limbaugh.
Sad, ... a Death in the Praetorian Guard.
WHEN WILL THEY LOWER THE FLAG FOR ASHLI ???
I stopped putting ours up. I have a 20 ft flag pole in our front yard. It will stay down unless hubby passes, 20 yr Career USN. UNTIL THE USURPERS ARE OUT OF POWER.
Two times during the last month I have sneaked out and raise the American flag back up to full staff. This needs to become a conservative trend.. You aren’t damaging anything, and it will annoy them. Every time you see a flag and you can get away with it, raise it back up! The risk is very low, even if they catch you there’s no identifiable crime unless you damage something.
Do US code spells it out in detail. Death of a congressman writes one day. Death of a chief justice of the supreme court right three days. Colorado just went nine days because of the grocery stores shooting by a crazed mohammaden. America just went a week because a sex addict shot up a Chinese whorehouse.
This half staff as an attack on America started with dem governors pulling down the flag every time a soldier died in the Iraq war. It wasn’t from respect, it was to exploit his death for politics.
Dang Autocorrect and old eyes.

So I guess to Biden and his admin, only those cops who serve the Capitol where Nancy and company are deserve respect. What about the cops throughout the country that have been killed dealing with scum every day. They aren’t respected by Biden and his party, they are vilified.
What proud flag? Sadly, I think it stands for nothing now. It lives as a symbol of pride only in a few still beating hearts. It has been cheapened to the point of insignificance now.
Might as well just leave them there.
