[/quote] Right. Which is why Obama has been keeping the Ramadan fast, praying five times a day, absolutely refused publicly invite individuals to consume alcoholic beverages with him, worked to end gay marriage, civil unions and any state laws supporting that "perversion", and has publicly decried abortion. Not to mention his habit of refusing to be seen with the area of his body from the navel to the knees.

[/quote] Except that you have no way of knowing (or as far as I'm concerned, reason for believing) that he's a Muslim. That said, I hope Obama is not permitted to do this. If they want to politicize a religion, by all means do so, but not to mine. It would be a pervasion of the Faith. A Catholic should put his Faith before his political party. If the Kennedys think that, then they will not have Obama speak. Alas, again, I have no way of knowing (or going by the actions of the Kennedys over the last few decades, reason for believing) that this is the case.

zunshynn Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Were the flags flying at halfmast today for Kennedy? I noticed one at a college at halfmast, and that's the only reason I could think of for it. But it struck me as odd... that's not normally done for deceased congressmen is it?

zunshynn Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I could have just googled it myself... they are, for five days. The Presidents proclamation: [quote]"As a mark of respect for the memory of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset on August 30, 2009. I also direct that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff until sunset on the day of his interment. I further direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same periods at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations."[/quote] I guess the norm for a congressman in the civilian flag code is for flags to be at halfmast on the day of death and the following day.
