In honor of Whitney Houston, Gov. Christie ordering flags flown at half-staff in N.J. | NJ.com
Do you agree or disagree with the governor's decision to order all flags lowered in honor of Whitney Houston?
I absolutely don't think it's a good reason.
Where's the don't care option?
Actually I do care. On 10 Feb 2012 - 5 days ago - Marine Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca from North Arlington, New Jersey was killed in combat in Helmand province, Afghanistan. On 19 Jan 2012, Marine Cpl. Kevin James Reinhard from Woodbridge, New Jersey was killed in a helicopter crash in Helmand province, Afghanistan. On 11 Dec 2011, Army Spc. Ronald H. Wildrick Jr. from Blairstown, New Jersey died from wounds received in combat in Kunar province, Afghanistan.
Why was the NJ flag not already at half mast for these heroes who paid the ultimate price for their nation and for their State?
I'll tell you why because Christie can get more political capital by flying the flag at half mast for a drug addict than for men who served and died with honor. That is what Christie thinks of New Jersey's finest! Isn't that just great?
How would you like to be a family member of one of these brave men only to be dishonored by the Governor of New Jersey by ignoring their service and sacrifice and flying the flag at half mast for someone who died after a long and trouble life of drug abuse? I cannot imagine. Christie may as well just pee on their graves.

Our war dead receive far greater honors in death. If he had suggested that Ms. Houston receive a military funeral-- gun salute and presenting of the flag included-- then I would share your outrage.
A military funeral is for the family, for friends, for fellow service members and for the community.
Federal law allows some states to lower the flag half staff without need for a presidential order. If NJ law allows it, then there's nothing to agree or disagree with.
Don't vote.....

^ This, if true and the flag was never lowered to half mast on their behalf. I am not so concerned that the flag was lowered for her, but that she would take presidence over those who gave for their country. WH took far more from her country than she ever gave.Actually I do care. On 10 Feb 2012 - 5 days ago - Marine Lance Cpl.
