It's because she's a woman, isn't it?

A day at half mast would be better. A week is way too long.

Not sure, but 12.8% of the population now hate Dolly Parton because she was a conservative white woman.

Hell, you probably do also, since you walk lockstep with Marxists.

I was just introducing some levity.

She was America's Sweetheart. I don't have a flagpole so I don't really have a dog in this fight.

You were no doubt just as supportive of the practice when Obama lowered the flag for Dorothy Height. Or when we lowered it for Queen Elizabeth. Of when just lowered it for Lindsey Graham. Of when it was done for Diane Feinstein.


The president has broad authority to lower flags to honor just about anyone he wants. And I don’t let it bother me when whatever president happens to decide to do it.

That’s true. And I’m not focusing any animosity towards you.

To me, the act should mean something and it has been cheapened over the years, starting primarily with Barack Hussein.

If I leave my Christmas tree up all year long does it mean as much in December? That sort of thing.

I think you are confused as to the purpose of a flag lowering.

That appears to be the crux of your problem.

Some of you are perpetually mad about everything or bored as hell.

Perfect. Prove it. Biden gave you 48 opportunities. Links to you whining about it a single time. TIA.

I doubt Dolly was political.

She probably didn't vote.

Charlie Kirk was hated by a lot of people and was killed for his beliefs.

OK great. How is that relevant? Lots of people are killed for their beliefs.

Dolly Parton was not hated by a lot of people and was not killed for her beliefs.
