From a letter in the Des Moines Register today:
I proudly served in Operation Desert Storm and am the first to honor all who proudly serve our country. Gov. Chet Culver is disguising his political views against the war in Iraq as compassion by ordering flags flown at half-staff when an Iowa soldier dies.
If the governor is against the war, then he should say so. Don't hide behind false compassion and attempt to capitalize politically off grieving families. Despite what the news media feed us each night, a majority of Americans support both the soldiers and their mission.
Only when the liberals in Washington, D.C., untie the military's hands will it be able to complete its mission. Therefore, I will not fly my flag at half-staff when an Iowa soldier dies as Culver has directed. I will continue to fly Old Glory high above my house to honor my country.
- Timothy Fribley, Pella
Culver lowered the flags to half staff after Command Sgt. Maj. Marilyn L. Gabbard was killed ("Politically-Motivated Half Staff Flags") and he kept it up last week after U.S. Army Cpl. Stephen Shannon was killed.
It's clear what Culver and the Democrats are doing here. They are politicizing the flag with continued executive orders.
It's time for individuals and companies to defy Iowa Governor Chet Culver and the loser Democrats. It's time to create acts of civil disobedience by refusing to lower the flag to half-staff on the Democrats' political whims.
What's Chet Culver going to do? Fine or imprison people who don't follow his politically-motivated executive order? Screw him.
