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.

Yet another PC statement from obama.

This is a direct result of his love affair with moslems and moslem ideology.

Yet it was not ordered for the Military flood victims at Ft Hood or the Blue Angel Pilot that was killed. Many people flew one at Half Mast on their FB pages.

We need to lower it to half staff and leave it there.

And turn it upside down...Trump can order it back to its rightful position when he is sworn in.

Ours fly’s only for Military Holidays. It gets a black ribbon when there is a need to fly it for Military deaths.

Small POW and Navy flag are up though. Hubby is a career 20 yr Ret. SCPO.

I don’t lower my flag for filthy sodomites.

It’s sad we have to wait for a terrorist to do what a government ought to be doing but only after following due process of law. Our laws have been corrupted by the homosexualists.

I flew mie upside down after Ophonybama got elected the first time for a couple of weeks. Neighbors didn’t know the reason, and were unable to comprehend the distress our nation was in because he was POTUS.

So I took it down!

I will raise it on a new flagpole when President Trump is inaugurated!

That will make two of us. If it’s Hillary, I’ll bury it in the back yard.

Terrorists stand down in the face of flags at half staff.

Sorry, don’t want to be insensitive, but flowers, candles, and flags at half staff is as far as the response seems to go with our overlords.
