Ironically, half-staff on Independence Day could also be seen as mourning for the republic-that-was.

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.

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

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.

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 . . .

Maybe half staff and upside down.

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.

seems a really good politician

you know, a liar and a traitor to his Oath of Office
supporting democrats

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.
