Obama's penchant for half-staff may suggest his love for a US in defeat
President Obama has had the Stars and Stripes lowered 66 times since 2009, exceeding George W. Bush's 58 and Bill Clinton's 50 times of ordering the flag to be lowered. Obama has ordered the flag to be lowered more times than any president in history. This traditional symbolism of significant death in America may be serving a small psychological role in the big picture of destroying the Republic.
The supreme American military commander is prowling the bounds of treason and/or dissociative mental disorder in his refusal to name our sworn, lethal enemies and fight back against them. However, he has a history of special willingness to literally bring down the symbol of the American pride he disavows and the exceptionalism he denies. Notwithstanding a history of anti-military bias, the new sensitive guy in the White House seems comfortable emotionally symbolizing the accelerating ease with which Islamic terrorists kill Americans, as he touchingly mourns and feels our pain and multifariously works to make us less safe.
The lowered flag placates an emotional need created by the vast project to terminate our bordered constitutional republic: 1) demilitarization and paralysis in response to Islamic terrorism; 2) opening borders legal and illegal to Islamics who, according to the CIA, will commit terrorist attacks; 3) disarming loyal Americans to make them more and more defenseless.
Somehow, it took the president five days to order the lowering of the flag for five Tennessee military service members who were also killed by an ISIS-linked terrorist named Muhammad Abdulaziz. The honor was granted only after an outcry from the American people. Despite his penchant for lowering the red, white, and blue, the denier-in-chief has been reluctant to do so for fallen military.
In the president's imagination, historical America has already been defeated. All that is left is her comeuppance. This is well served by bringing in aliens who will not defend the Constitution, and by paying reparations to the world in the currency of American blood. For the president, Old Glory need never fly again except at half-staff, and every day is a funeral for America.
