From your second link:



I guess the left does not consider gays as Americans?




Hhahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaa:smac k:

Yup.

Indirectly, maybe even directly for some, a major contributor to the decline of our nation is this passionate need to be something other than American first; maybe American second, third... The siren song of identity is ripe fodder for the Democrat propaganda machine.

Nice try. It's the left wingers who refuse to say the attack was Islamic terrorism. Maybe not wholly, but mostly.

They just can't help themselves.

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) reportedly argued Tuesday that Pulse, the Orlando nightclub that on Sunday became the site of the worst mass shooting in the nation's history, was a "young person's club" rather than a gay club.

Got that? They weren't gay - they were young and Latino! (what, does he think 'gay' and 'young and/or Latino' are mutually exclusive?).

Seriously... what is wrong with these people?

Then there's this pathetic display:

Although Presiding Commissioner Sam Bushman thought flags should be lowered, Western District Commissioner Kris Scheperle and Eastern District Commissioner Jeff Hoelscher believe the county should be as consistent as possible when events occur that call for the flag to be lowered, and they oppose the lowering of the flags at this time.

"We (the commission) still have control over how the flags are displayed," Hoelscher said. "Lowering it too much takes away from the honor. I feel for these victims and for their families, but I don't feel this was a time for the flag to be lowered."

Right. The worst mass-shooting in American history? Yeah, but it was just gays being killed, so they didn't want to 'take away from the honor' when it's lowered for... well, I guess for people that they think actually matter.

But then there was a change of heart.

Cole County Western District Commissioner Kris Scheperle changed his vote Tuesday against lowering the flags at county offices in the wake of the Orlando mass shooting.

"In spite of the fact that my vote was in accordance with Cole County's flag ordinance and federal law, I reconsider my original vote (position) due to the negative attention this has brought Cole County. The bottom line is my concerns for Cole County citizens," Scheperle said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

Got that? He didn't vote to lower the flag out of any sense of decency, or because he felt one iota of lament at 49 slaughtered gays, but because he was worried about the negative publicity of his petulant initial vote not to lower the flag.

Personally, I think flags should be left at half-staff until this country can go three consecutive days without a mass-shooting.

Of course, if we did that they'd never go back up.

It wasn't an attack on "gays" (who says that?!), yet every time someone disagrees with them, it's an attack on the Republicans.

These idiots can't keep their own rhetoric straight. (pardon the pun)
