Flag rant

[Letfreedomring]

Anyone else tired of seeing our flag posted at half mast for every mundane "tragedy"? With the current administration redefining what qualifies as a mass shooting, it seems that old glory flies more at half mast then not. To me it kind of dilutes the meaning of what it symbolizes. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it or just need to accept it and move on, but I'm getting older and grumpier (yes, it's a word, I think). Anyone else feel the same?

I thought they were half mast yesterday because of Pearl Harbor? Nothing I saw was because of Vegas. I might be wrong.

You're not wrong.

It has gone from being a sacred symbol of honor and remembrance, to just being pandering for attention by bureaucrats.

When the bytch senator died they ordered half mast. If I could have, I would have added 20 feet to the pole.

I thought it was because Rosalynn Carter died? I can't keep track anymore.

SOME SENATOR TOOK A FAT DUMP AND RAN OUT OF TOILET PAPER. Flags at half mast tomorrow. You're absolutely right.

yeah, this isn't really an official website. Looks like something put together back in the 90s when WYSIWYG web editing became a thing.

I had an American Bald Eagle at the top but it kept eating my flags catching on the wings.

I made sure the ass end of it faced toward Washington DC. when It was up there.

Looks like it was down yesterday for pearl harbor, before that for Mrs. Carter. There are others on the list that i'm sure people will disagree with, though
