After the timely passing and berserk canonization of Gerald Ford, GWB issued the customary proclamation directing that the US flag be displayed at half-staff for 30 days – until this Friday. While most flags currently remain in the proper mourning position, I have noticed a few Old Glories fluttering at the top of the flagpole.
I urge my fellow citizens to be vigilant about any flag transgressions that they should witness during the tail end of our Executive-ordered period of grief. Whether the offender be a highway toll station, a Red Roof Inn, or a private citizen with a flagpole in their yard, it is your civic duty to confront such sedition and demand the flag be lowered. A full-mast flag is an effrontery not only to Gerald Ford, the man who “healed our nation” by refusing to hold the highest elected official accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors, but to any American who has lived a long, full life and died of natural causes.
