I am with you both. This has bothered me for a long time.

I think it is extremely unhealthy for this country to lower the flag to half mast every time there is any kind of unusual incident or death.

Pearl Harbor was appropriate.

9/11 was appropriate.

The school shootings, Whitney Houston, Ted Kennedy and The Boston Marathon bombings are NOT appropriate, in my opinion.

Flying the flag at half mast puts us into a perpetual state of victimhood. I know liberals want that, but I think it is sick.

This country is under attack by communists...upside-down flag works for me. Alan Keyes used to wear a flag pin upside down on the lapel of his suit jacket when Clinton was in office.

Burning the flat in protest has been up held by the SCOTUS as free speech. I disagree w this form of expression.

Your fourth and fourteenth picture is from a used car lot called Wolf Auto here in the Denver area.
Sadly, they closed last year. Another company owns the lot now.

Weak reply from an a-hole moron. Been here since Oct 98, not that it matters.
