Stop flying flags at half staff for former first ladies.

Posted on 04/19/2018 6:04:26 PM PDT by A Cyrenian

I don't mean to be disrespectful to Mrs. Bush.

But when clinton gets her butt thrown in jail and later passes away.

Do we really want to fly the flag at half staff for a convict?

Agreed. Especially when death is by natural causes after a full and wonderful life.

When that one dies, I’m going to bake a celebration cake.

Yeah. Let’s just fly them at half-staff for pop-singers (ie Whitney Houston) per Barry’s watch.

Growing up, pretty much the flag only was at half-staff when a former President died.

Now it’s pretty much that way half of the time.

Half-mast inflation has been going on for a long time.

I’m OK with honoring anyone who serves the country in that position. It isn’t easy.

Unless they are convicted criminals.

1/2 staff has been miss-used for a long time.
To many Dip S#!T governors call for it all to often

So, when the Mooch moves on to her special place in HELL, should we double the size of our flag poles and run Old Glory all the way to the top and have dancing in the streets?

Agreed. Half staff should be very rare.

The whole flag at half mast thing is way out of control. Flags are rarely at full mast anymore.

I have a 40 foot pole in my front yard.

I fly the Flag of the United States of America, 24/7, lit up in all her glory.

This is Fort Home...I am the Commander-in-Chief of Fort Home.

I decide if I want to fly half-staff and for whom.

I did not put it at half-staff for Mrs. Bush, nor will I.

I have no intention of disrespecting Mrs. Bush...on the contrary, I have great respect for her.

But she has not earned the honor of a half-staff display of the Flag of the United States of America that is flown over Fort Home.

I will light a candle or something for her, but MY flag goes to half-staff for heroes...such as recently deceased MOH awardees, disabled veterans, you know...the ones that REALLY served this country, in a time of need and with much sacrifice.

There is a difference...and I know the difference.

And my flag, my 40 foot pole and the entirety of Fort Home will be burned to the ground before ANY honor of half-staff is given to a damned Clinton...or anyone else I so decide is not worthy of such an honor.

Don’t forget. Babs and the whole Bushie clan voted for Hillary except for George P. who still wants a future in politics.

How about we only fly old glory at half staff for bona fide national tragedies?

We now fly our flags at half-mast for people who have accomplished nothing but being unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so why not fly them for former first-ladies?
