“We need more than a gesture as a response. I want us, as Americans, to stand tall, courageously, and fight back against the forces of evil, and let’s fight like we intend to win.” (Alabama County Commissioner Tucker Dorsey)

Yet no mention of the gun manufacturers and the NRA? You’re an asshole.

I only follow orders from American-born Presidents. But I do have some extra thoughts and prayers If you’d like 'em.

OK Mr. Tucker Dorsey, Baldwin County Commissioner. Hate to break this to you. No one gives a shit what an obscure official in some county in Alabama thinks the flag code means. Just follow your governor’s directive. Save your grandstanding for the local Baldwin County Daily.

(Edit) You just look stupid when you argue flag should not be flown at half staff following deadliest mass shooting in American history, a mass shooting made possible by a decidedly American product… one produced over in Shelby County near Birmingham not far from you. You wouldn’t be trying to take the spotlight off your own state produced weapon. Would you?

“When are we going to acknowledge the truth? When will we stop the PC and identify the enemy?”

OK, here we go: this ridiculous outdated second amendment that says citizens should be allowed to have guns so they can fight our government with them. It’s bullshit. In 2016 we call that terrorism. OK? Is that not-PC-enough for you? The second amendment is about terrorism. To stop terrorism we need to stop the second amendment.

“When the flag is at half-staff, our country’s head is figuratively held low, and quite frankly, I am not willing to hang my head down because of a terrorist attack against our people and our allies.”

…because, you know, free-dumb!..

Just a wild guess, but my guess is that he includes our current president as one of those “forces of evil”

his other response was ‘we didn’t fight no War for States Rights’ in vain’

The code requires flags to fly at half mast on Memorial Day and after the death of a government official, and also allows the President to add more rules regarding the flag.

This part must be absent from Commissioner Dorsey’s flag code handbook. Seriously, after all these years, why hasn’t Alabama’s governor’s office come down hard on this asshat? It makes them look like boobs.

There’s a very good reason. I’ll bet it’s the first one you think of.

Limbaugh talked about PC until it became a hated reality to his not so bright listeners. Those listeners’ cuckoo clock glockenspiel brains then came around to believe anyone who disrespected PC speaks the truth. You can fool some of the people all of the time. Concentrate on them.

I’m just surprised he didn’t raise the Confederate flag…doubly high or something.

“When are we going to acknowledge the truth? When will we stop the PC and identify the enemy?”

The enemies, in this case, are intolerance and terrorism, and those who commit violent, terroristic acts, motivated by extreme intolerance. And then there are those whose actions and words give aid and comfort to the violently intolerant terrorists, in other words the enablers. And you, Mr. Dorsey, by taking this divisive stance, have placed yourself squarely in the role of enabler. Nongratulations.

It’s Alabama where the Chief Justice is in contempt, the Speaker us indicted for corruption, and the Governor is in danger of impeachment.

Maybe the flag there should permanently be at half mast.

And they keep insisting this asshole, wannabe, shooter was part of ISIS. He had no official affiliation with them!! They keep, pathetically, purporting this bullshit narrative to get the focus off of what really matters, to what they want to matter, so they can get votes out of it. Someone on here said it…and I apologize for not being able to give that person credit because I don’t remember who it was…republicans think the whole electorate is as dumb as theirs is.
