Seems anymore that the flags are always at half staff. It has become meaningless.

Half-staff is for mourning and acknowledging a rare individual, not just a dead politician or public figure. Our conservative governor is always ordering flags ar half staff, as do some liberal mayors...denigrating the flag that flies only because of lost blood and treasure simply disgusts me.

You mirrored my thoughts.

Maybe half staff and upside down.

If you use forever stamps with the US flag on them, place the flag upside down.

Well said Sir!!

You must be thinking of Droopy dog

He would definitely be an improvement, especially due to the fact that he could become a chicken dinner at some point, so therefore he would have intrinsic value....unlike many of our lawmakers!

That's a smart move. It does seem to be taking a long time. But, we are the only ones who can do it. There is so much to fix.

I really feel considering how things are going, we should see our flag flying upside down. Got It?

Wish "Senator Foghorn Leghorn" was in the Senate - would do a much better job!!!!!

Unfortunately based on the current crop of politicians that does seem to be the way they are judged..

If you don't mind....I will not hold my breath waiting for the Reorganization!:)

We'll put your suggestion on the list of "things to do when we reorganize our Republic."

This old allosaur is 76 million years old.
OK, just 76. But it can feel like 76 million form time to time.

You are correct....apparently you are as old a fart as am I!

Do believe that senator is a Warner Brothers cartoon character I haven't seen for decade.
Made me laugh, though. Thanks, I needed that.

As a standard practice, there is (in my mind) no reason whatsoever to lower the US flag to half staff on the singularly most important flag day of the year: Independence Day.

The governor has shown that his loyalty is not to the nation, but to a political party. Enough said.

We get that here in NC as well....but when they build a building or new bridge etc, by and large it is named the "Senator Foghorn Leghorn memorial palace of Government"

Here in Alabama I've noticed several stretches of asphalt named after police officers.
Why? They were killed while carrying out their duty,

Ever notice that bridges and highways are often named for the politicians that got the funding for them approved. That politician didn't do anything other than his job....spending the citizens money. They should not be allowed to name things after politicians, only after war heroes etc, IE: people that did something above and beyond. Not some featherbedding pudknocker who spent a "public service" career enriching himself.

Not to mention a cocaine addicted singer.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe only the President of the United States can order the flags lowered. No governor of any state has the authority to do so. Not only that but when I was a child I can remember learning that the flag was only lowered for the death of a President or a high ranking member of the military. Now we lower it for the f ing queen of England and Ukraine and whatever whim anyone wants. Disgraceful. Any way Happy Birthday USA. From those who still care.

. . .and that is how we'll chose to view the half staff here in connecticut. I am very ashamed of this state.

Weicker is the IDIOT who lied then gave us an income tax!
Will never forgive and never forget!

PS, yes, he's got BIG DOE's Nuts lowering the flag for that fag . . .
