Mandela Death Observation
Me vanity ^ | 06/24/13 | Me vanity

Posted on 06/24/2013 7:28:31 AM PDT by keving

Just thinking ahead....,,,Will the death of Mandela cause US flags to fly at half staff? If President orders will towns and corporations comply? Will those who do not comply be labelled as racists?

Legacy: We hear only the good. What is the state of South Africa as a result if Mandela's rule? Are they better off now?

no doubt obmmie will scurry off for the funeral, as compared to the complete no show of the US, at the Thatcher funeral in the spring.

Just like Obama, it doesn’t matter what state the country is in. It only matters that they worship him as ‘hero.’

Perhaps some rounds of Memorial Necklacing in certain neighborhoods. And outside the George Zimmermann trial.

We do not lower the US flag for foreign people.

We have a foreign person as President, so why not?

I don't think we traditionally fly flags at half staff for foreign heads of state.

According to the U.S. Flag Code, the flag can be flown at half staff for foreign dignitaries upon a presidential proclamation.

Obama will make sure Mandela dies in the next couple of days so the funeral can be used as an excuse for his African trip.

"I don't think we traditionally fly flags at half staff for foreign heads of state."

Chris Christie lowers the flag to half-staff for everyone.

Growing up I do not recall seeing the flags at half-staff, ever.
Now these days they drop ‘em down for everything. It’s like giving every performance a standing ovation; it just dilutes the meaning and nobody gives a rip.

Well there you go. When Mandela dies the flags will be at half staff for months.

Lot of fuss over a mass murderer and communist.

Maybe they are keeping Mandela on ice until the soetero family vacation so soetero can deliver his eulogy and grab fame for himself at the end of Mandela’s life

SA has turned into a cesspool since the ANC took over.

This says it all.

The South African government faced criticism over the weekend after it confirmed reports that the military ambulance carrying Mr. Mandela to the hospital had broken down, leaving him waiting on the roadside until a replacement vehicle arrived.
