This Sunday marks three days since an Islamist gunman opened fire Thursday on military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing five unarmed servicemen and wounding a policeman.
President Barack Obama still has not ordered the lowering of the U.S. flag to half-staff at the White House and federal properties as a sign of respect and mourning for those killed, even though he (and former President George W. Bush) did so for previous mass killings by lone gunmen.
In contrast it was only a matter of hours after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage last month before Obama bathed the White House in the rainbow hues of the LGBTQ movement.
Also, Obama issued same-day orders lowering the flag following the the July 20, 2012 Aurora, Colorado mass shooting, December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook, Connecticut mass shooting and the September 16, 2013 Washington Navy Yard mass shooting.
Obama ordered the flag flown at half-staff the day after the November 5, 2009 Fort Hood, Texas massacre.
President George W. Bush ordered the flag lowered for the April 16, 2007 Virginia Tech massacre the day after that attack.
Obama apparently did not order flags lowered following the Charleston mass shooting last month, however he went to Charleston and delivered the eulogy at the funeral for the Reverend Clementa Pinckney. Several state governors did issue orders to lower flags in their respective states to honor the Charleston victims.
Obama’s selectivity on whether to honor victims of terror attacks or mass shootings was in evidence in May when Obama made no public or written statement on the Islamist terror attack in Garland, Texas.
Obama vacationed in New York City this weekend. Meanwhile several state governors took steps to arm National Guard troops under their command and issued proclamations ordering flags in their respective states...

he’s trying to get as many American military killed as possible, they are the oppressor’s troops and they are the last possible source of danger to imposition of an IslamoNazi dictatorship in USA
or?
Exactly... had they been black, the trayvon “black lies matter” parade would be out there....
Maybe he ramped the parade up for the muslim - brethren shooter.
The Governor of Florida just got around to it.

[Anyone but me notice the ongoing silence from the GOP?]
Louie Gohmert had something to say about it on Wilkow’s show.
He is yet another example of why military service should be a requirement to be Command-in-Chief. He’s unqualified to run a 7-Eleven let alone the most powerful nation and military in the world. Even more frustrating than looking at the smug face of the POS is to consider how many f-ing idiots put him in office TWICE.
I think Americans need to realize we have grown out of "the awkward stage" in the USA...
sorry...”Commander-in-Chief”
the U.S. military needs to move
OK that’s Ted and Louie. Out of 300+.
Hmmmmm....
I just noticed that a majority of these happen on either a Thursday or Friday. Weird.
Also, are you still here, Kristinn? Haven’t seen you around much -but I’ve been working a LOT of hours.
Just curious.
If so, PING!!
He’s busy writing personal letters to convicts.
Reggie Love is starting to bore him.
Starting about Nov. 7th 2012? Yeah.
Let the Kenyan try to stop it.
Why should he? He’s no American, and he’s certainly no President.
Busy weekend, hasn’t had time to read the newspaper yet.
Most of the American people are simple and will look at the shiny object in president oreos left hand as his right hand is up there skirt.
I expect no less from this POC POTUS
Of course not. They were conservatives, active duty military, and they probably cling to God and to guns. Obama probably sees five dead sailors and Marines as a good start. Socialists like Obama disgust me.
Well lets see. He’s a POS Muslim trying to destroy America. Why would he want to honor 5 dead infidels?
