Citgo Lowers United States Flags To Honor Socialist Dictator Hugo Chavez
In an attempt to show respect for dead President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Citgo, owned by the South American country, flew its flags at half staff outside its Houston, Texas and Lake Charles, La., offices on Wednesday, sparking outrage from passing motorists. Usually such an honor is reserved for American citizens and hero's dying while in service to the United States, so it is somewhat of a mystery as to why such an honor would be given to a Socialist dictator.
Citgo told a local Houston TV station on Wednesday that it would lower its flags, including the American flag, for Dictator Chavez. The oil company said it would release a statement later in the day on the death of Chavez and their flag lowering, but a request for comment from FoxNews.com was not immediately returned and no word on the statement has been heard so far.

Really guys? Is there an American's on here?? You should be appalled that they disgraced our flag by doing that. Our country stands for nothing that that man did. For them to honor him with an American flag is one of the biggest slaps in the face to us as the U.S. But again we sit around while every other nation is allowed to spit in our face and we have to sit there and politely take it.
Don't buy Citgo gas.
ReplyDeleteI thought the President or the Governor of a particular state were the only one allowed to decide if a flag should be flown at half mast.
ReplyDeleteI agree with 6:24.

ReplyDeleteI guess they can do whatever they want to with their flag since they own it. As long as they don't violate the flag code.
Stop buying CITGO products years ago
