South Carolina Sheriff Defies Obama, Refuses To Lower Flag For Mandela Because He's Not 'Murkan
  
 South Carolina Sheriff Refuses To Lower Flag For Mandela
Hunter Walker – December 6, 2013, 4:31 PM EST5224  

Rick Clark, the sheriff of Pickens County, S.C., vowed on Friday to defy President Obama's order that U.S. flags be lowered to half staff in honor of deceased South African leader Nelson Mandela.

Clark made his promise in a Facebook post to keep flying the flag at the Pickens County Sheriff's Office at full height.

"I usually don't post political items, but today is different. I received this notification today, 'As a mark of respect for the memory of Nelson Mandela, the President orders that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff effective immediately until sunset, December 9, 2013,'" Clark wrote. "Nelson Mandela did great things for his country and was a brave man but he was not an AMERICAN!!! The flag should be lowered at our Embassy in S. Africa, but not here."

Clark said the flags at the Sheriff's Office were at half staff Friday to mourn a deceased deputy. Clark said the flag would remain at half mast Saturday to mark Pearl Harbor Day. After that, he said, he "ordered that the flag here at my office back up" (sic).

So, what's the point. He wasn't.
No comments as yet.

Yeah, I heard this half-staff thing for Mandela today on the car radio and couldn't help but laugh out loud. There was a time when the lowering of the flag meant something. Now, it's like the Nobel Peace Prize or being called a racist/bigot/homophobe. The meaning has eroded.

Lowering the flag to half staff for non-Americans is not unprecedented, but is rare.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

He's probably doing cart wheels over it.  He's hoping the media and his base will go chase the shiny Mandela story and won't focus on his  Obamacare disaster.

No, but we did send them an iPod with Obama's speeches on it.

Oh wait, that was the Queen.

I wonder if that gift to the Queen included his "If you like your plan you can keep it. Period." speech.

Her Royal Highness probably chortled.

By the way, as coined by nadin, the word is "kerfunkle" with two "Ks", not kerfuncle. Don't let her say she was misquoted.

Small fix.
You are correct about the "K". BS accepted.

Ha! No BS! Just a point of order to keep an outstanding nadinism intact.
