Should Pop Stars Be Celebrated With Flags at Half-Staff?

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey is a bold man who has that single most important characteristic of leadership, namely, moral courage. Without a preparedness to be hated for pursing the courage of your convictions, you simply cannot lead. Christie has that courage in spades. He's saving our state from the oblivion of out-of-control taxes and he's been prepared to challenge the unions to make concessions on contracts that can otherwise bankrupt us. New Jersey has huge problems and people are leaving, as is reflected in how we just lost a congressional seat. Christie is slowly tackling the challenges and making considerable progress. It's no wonder he's being widely regarded as possessing presidential timber.

NO, there has been more coverage of her drug induced unintentional suicide, then of the soldiers, police officers and other people that died trying to protect the country and its citizens. They get the flag lowered to half staff for them, why should we lower it for a drug addict that accidently took to much dope.

I don't mind if they do but when they don't do it for our fallen police troops and fire fighters but do it for a drug addict that's an issue.

No, and I don't understand Gov. Christie on his decision on this. She had a beautiful voice but did not rate our flag at half-staff.
