Missouri County Will Lower Flags To Mourn Gay Marriage Ruling For A Year
Flags at the Dent County Courthouse and Judicial Building will now fly at “below half-staff” on the 26th day of every month from July 2015 until July 2016, the Salem News reported, to mark the day SCOTUS handed down the ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
Presiding Commissioner Darrell Skiles filed a letter into the record ahead of the vote staking his opposition to “the U.S. high court’s [sic] stamp of approval of what God speaks of as an abomination.”
Skiles also wrote that “all who see these flags at this lowered position be reminded of this despicable Supreme Court travesty” as reason enough to approve the plan.
I suspect you will see a lot of blowback from this ruling. Given the couple in Oregon and the judge in Ohio who are refusing to be a part of these atrocities there will be many who step up and make a statement in some way against gay marriage.
Well since the ruling is unconstitutional and two of the justices are themselves gay should have not been evaluated. They went to far and they usually do.
FLYING THE FLAG AT HALF-STAFF: The pertinent section of the Flag Code says, "by order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possesion, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law.
We owe that respect to our living, our dead and our flag. Anything else is a gross disrespect for the flag.

Fly the rainbow flag at half mast if you want, but the American flag should never be used to support any agenda.
ReplyDeleteThe local citizens have submitted a petition to stop this stupidity and the city has cancelled their the plan.
