Are you flying your flag, if it is on a flag pole, at half mast in honor of the fallen in Chattanooga???

My avatar has not changed and it is flying at half mast until the fallen are taken care of in their individual funeral services.

Why hasn't Obammy issued this order? Hmmmm..... I wonder!

There was some preacher on a progressive talk show a few nights ago that got info from his wife who got it from a radio station in Egypt(God only knows where they got that info) that Obama is in fact a Muslim. Father was Muslim so apparently according to Islam, that makes Obama Muslin and the guys wife also heard that it was Obama's goal to make this a Muslim country. All I've got to say(besides the preacher is a loon) is, if he wants to do that he better hurry up. He is running out of time.

Why hasn't Obama declared that flags should be flown at half-staff for five US military personnel who were killed in the line of duty in a mass shooting when he did so for Newtown, Aurora, and the Navy Yard shooting?

Quote:Some have speculated that the lack of a presidential proclamation might be because as tragic and senseless as they were, the Chattanooga deaths involved members of the U.S. armed forces who are considered to have been killed in the line of duty (unlike the other mass shooting events referenced above, which involved civilian deaths), and while individual states often lower their flags to honor local natives or residents who die in the service of their country, doing so at a national level would require the President to pick and choose among service deaths to decide which to so honor.

Others noted that that speculation seemingly ran counter to the fact that President Obama did issue a proclamation directing the lowering of U.S. flags after the November 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, that left thirteen people dead and another thirty-two wounded (both military and civilian, although predominantly the former). In the Fort Hood case, however, the shooter was himself a member of the U.S. Army, and the attack was classified as an act of workplace violence.

That seems like a pretty reasonable explanation to me. Much more reasonable than the "Obama hates America and our troops" storyline that you or someone else will likely respond with.

So why did he do it for the mass shootings at Newtown, and Aurora and not Chattanooga?

Why for the Boston Bombings and not Chattanooga?

So if the reason he didn't order the flags flown at half-staff is because these four Marines and the US Navy Sailor died "in the line of duty" then when is he admitting that the killing was an act of war committed by radical Islam on American soil?

Easy ... he hates our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, system of government, capitalism, history, society, etc., etc.

But he probably likes most Americans (the people).

Because he hates america.

EDIT: That was aimed at the post on the previous page.

But then he just likes people, not Americans, because what delineates an american from anyone else if not the system of government, history, culture, society, geography, etc? Of course he can hate some aspects of america and still love americans, but stating he hates the entirety of america but not americans just seems ultimately like a contradiction to me.

I am not up to date on this story but has there been a conclusion that he did this because of his religious beliefs? Just asking, I don't know.

Obama not ordering flags lowered is weird. But he and his administration make weird decisions all the time.

Boehner on the other hand refused to allow America's last WWI veteran to lie in state at the capitol for a few hours because it might cause inconvenience for the politicians.

They don't actually give a damn.

So after reading the explanation from snopes, you still don't know? LMFAO

From the flag code:

Quote:In the event of the death of a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, or the death of a member of the Armed Forces from any State, territory, or possession who dies while serving on active duty, the Governor of that State, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff, and the same authority is provided to the Mayor of the District of Columbia with respect to present or former officials of the District of Columbia and members of the Armed Forces from the District of Columbia.
