I insulted someone today and I’m honestly sorry that it was necessary to do so… but it was. I expressed my thought it a disgrace that we lowered the flag of the United States for Rush Limbaugh .
My Florida Governor, Ron Desantis, ordered the Flag of The United States of America, along with our state flag, to be flown at half mast at certain State Government buildings . This was in honor of Rush Limbaugh who passed this week .
Permit me to quote Mr. Desantis on his decision to order the half mast of our flag ….
“To honor the memory of Rush Limbaugh and his service to our nation and state, I hereby direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at the Palm Beach County Courthouse in West Palm Beach, Florida, the City Hall of Palm Beach, Florida, and the State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday, February 24, 2021.”
Note… ” Service to our nation and state”
My insult , it seems , was that I don’t believe Rush offered any service to my nation at all . Nor worthy of the Medal of Freedom bestowed on him by President Trump .
You may well call it sour grapes… I’ve mentioned this on past posts …. but Rush was a guy who accumulated my entire lifes income every three weeks by getting on the radio and whining about how unfair his taxes were . I don’t see this as a “service” to my nation.
I was never a fan of John McCain… but he had my respect , and should have yours. He flew fighter jets off an aircraft carrier and did five plus years as a prisoner of war before spending the rest of his life in government service as a politician . And upon his death my Government waffled over flying the flag half mast in his honor and raised it at the soonest possible moment …. shame on us .
