If you think her only contribution was as a celebrity, then you’re just as ignorant as any DSA idiot.

She was the very embodiment of the American dream. Born dirt poor, created a fortune out of her own work ethic and talent, then used that fortune to lift others with meaningful and productive contributions to their own growth.

FFS, go find some clouds to yell at.

It’s done way too much. It should be reserved for presidents, Supreme Court justices and really important statesmen IMO. But I don’t know if I’d choose Dolly as the example of how it’s gone too far. Everyone liked her.

I would add exceptional Americans like Dolly. She was the American Dream in real life.

Because you always have sand in your vagina?

Selfish much?

Rush Limbaugh was admired by every true American. And despised by anti-Americans.


Surely you are not comparing Rush Limbaugh to Dolly Parton?

I liked Rush. But the two are not comparable.

I have been saying this for a long time. I drive by the library and post offices and see the flag at half mast and most of the time I have no idea why it is that way.

So, what honor are we decreeing on someone if it is not recognized.

And so I am assuming that we are lowering the flag for Dolly Partin which I would never have guessed despite the fact that I agree she is a treasure in our times. I grew up listening to her sing on the Porter Wagner Show when I was a kid because that was about the one thing my mom got to watch while she was fixing supper on Sat evening.

I like Dolly Parton just fine but a national, week long half staff is extremely goofy.


If you and the other whiners hadn’t seen Trump’s tweet you wouldn’t have known about it, and you wouldn’t have even noticed if you drove by a federal property.

It’s appropriate for someone who was a positive cultural icon. She was widely admired for her philanthropy in addition to her career.

You’ve got your curmudgeon control at full throttle, and you took the time to post about it. And that’s pretty weird.

Dolly is not the hill to die on here. She was an exceptional American.

She seemed like a great girl and I'm glad she was successful. But I just don't like any of the 3 stages of that music:
a. Country and Western
b. Country
c. Country Pop (her stage)
All the jocks in our radio station in the late '60s agreed with me. The closest we got to playing that type of music was 'Honky Tonk Women' by the Rolling Stones.

Both correct.
