"TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he will order flags flown at half-staff Saturday in memory of Whitney Houston."

In honor of the occasion I will be loading my crack pipe to half capacity...

Not really appropriate or permitted under the US Flag Code, but no one pays attention...

Do they fly flags in Newark or are they in fear of them being stolen...?

This disturbs me greatly. It marginalizes the solemnity of those occasions when it's appropriate to honor a loss by flying the flag at half staff.

In fear of the 60's all over again............

Wow, its almost as bad as obama getting the nobel peace prize. Ruins it. Isnt it only supposed to go half mast for heros?

Celebutard sheeple doing what they do best.........................

and you wonder how we got here,we are going to hell fast

IMO.........the Lou Costello of politics.......think way less of him now then I did before.

I wish I could say that, but it's impossible.

Guess he's pandering votes. Disgraceful!!

Yet most Town halls around me don't lower them for fallen soldiers. Everytime a soldier from the NJ, PA, or DE area died, our NJROTC unit would go in early the next morning, and we'd lower Sterling's flag to half stalf.

She doesn't deserve it. She was a singer, big frickin deal..................

 

For those that have fallen in the line of duty, he!! yeah!

I can see doing it in Newark or East Orange, but come on.

Add another reason to my list of reasons to leave this state

Rep sent

Really????

 

Why? It isn't the Newark flag, or even the New Jersey flag, it's the symbol of the entire country, and every time it's lowered to honor a national loss, the entire country grieves. But not this time, and it will always mean less from now on.

........ I like Christie...... but this is just dumb......

I guess because she was from NJ?

 

Not an excuse, just wondering reasoning.

 

I will make sure the flag at work remains at FULL STAFF! (or whatever its called)

They named a public school after the women. And she did sing the national anthem better than anyone ever did.

This is terrible.

Well I guess that's reason enough. Pretty much like everyone getting a trophy.

Unbelievable, that's a slap in the face for everyone who has had the flag flown at half staff for them.

No. Exactly the same.

This makes me sick. We should honor the soldiers not some drugged up celebrity who was begging friends for money at the end. Governor Christie is a Joke!

It's nice to know that there are some like-minded people here. I agree that this totally cheapens the purpose of flying our national flag at half mast.

 

But if I said this to most of the people I work with, or even most of the members of my family, they would think I am turning into a grumpy old man (which maybe I am).
