Tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day...that’s what really matters.

Raise a car tire to half staff.
To me that’s traitorous to lower the flag for an avowed communist to lower the flag for him. If I see a flag lowered I will do my best to remind the perpetrator of just what Mandela stood for.

You think a communist terrorist was a great man?
So true. There is much to mourn such as the president giving a speech on income inequality and no one in Congress calls him out for preaching from the Marxist playbook.
That’s a different topic altogether.
