[history]
President Barack Obama has ordered the lowering of the flag of the United States of America to half-staff as a mark of respect for the victims in a nightclub shooting in Orlando.
The flags are to be lowered June 12 and expected to stay at half-staff until sunset, on June 16. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert issued a similar statement for the flag of the state of Utah and the American Flag in Utah for the same timeline.

We need to lower it to half staff and leave it there.
To: drewh
Would be a nice gesture, however coming from Obama we know it’s a calculated insult to the American people.

I’m surprised he didn’t order them at half staff to honor the shooter.

Just checked and he ordered it for the San Bernardino victims too so I don’t have a problem with this.

Seems like it’s been at half-staff most of the time for the last 8 years.

I have to wonder. If this would have been say a club where patriots gathered or say an NRA meeting. Would this POS do the same for them?
You know the answer.

I don't lower my Flag for "victims" - if I did, it would never fly at the top, where it belongs!

We need to turn the flag upside down and fly it that way until Trump is elected.

Did he say victims or victim? Inquiring minds want to know.

Is it just me, or does it seem our flag has been flying at half-staff more than it hasn't ever since the Kenyan Idiot infested the White House?
The flags around my little Hoosier town have been half-staff since last week and I have no friggin clue as to why.
Me...I flew my flag upside down for the first 2 weeks after Obama was elected and then completely removed the pole.
I'll put up a bigger and better one once we get a real President who loves this country.
