In a controversial 5-4 decision on gay marriage and the country being divided on the issue Obama has the White House flooded in rainbow lights to celebrate. He had the White House bathed in pink lights for breast cancer awareness but when asked to light up the White House in blue in respect for fallen police officers that was a bridge too far for the divider in chief and he refuses. Why?

How about a half staff flag anywhere?

 

Does everywhere count?

 

Flags were ordered to half-staff at all Federal Facilities for the Dallas and now Baton Rouge officer slayings.

Obama did lower the flags to half mast but why he won't allow the White House to be lit blue in addition. It's a deliberate slap in the face to law enforcement. Blue lights would cost him nothing, yet mean everything to police officers. That's why he's not doing it.

They at least deserve the same respect as the victims at the Orlando nightclub.

 

... and more I'd argue, but blue lights? Just a manufactured strawman...

Has the White House ever been illuminated in blue for fallen officers? On 912?

Did Law enforcement make a request for blue lights that got denied on 9/11? I don't believe that was the case. In this case a request from law enforcement was made for blue lights at the White House that Obama has ignored.

Well shame on you for not thinking of it then...

 

 

Who is "law enforcement"? Sure as hell is not Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick... a hack, TV Sports reporter turned certifiable wing-nut (a term I do not throw around arbitrarily).

 

Once on, when would we turn them off? On average an officer falls in the line of duty about every three days... and that's even with the historically low rates of officer fatalities under... wait for it... the Obama administration.

 

Can we predetermine which one we will insult first? Restrict "the blue" only to those ambushed? Those shot? Shot and/or stabbed? It will be important to settle this in advance.

Yet, a request by the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association to cover the White House in blue lighting on July 8 was reportedly ignored by the Obama administration (via PoliceMag):

 

 

FLEOA Foundation President Jon Adler issued the following statement [July 8]:

“While we appreciate the President’s proclamation to have our flag flown at half-mast in honor of our fallen Dallas police heroes, I respectfully request that he demonstrate his full respect for their ultimate sacrifice by illuminating the White House in blue. Actions speak louder than scripted words, and the honorable act of displaying law enforcement’s ‘Thin Blue Line’ at the White House would demonstrate the President’s sincere commitment to our fallen heroes and their families.

“Please know that the law enforcement community draws no comfort from Speaker Ryan’s remarks that it’s ‘A time for healing.’ As Speaker Ryan made that statement today, a police officer was shot in Missouri. We can’t heal while law enforcement officers continue to bleed.

“Please know that the law enforcement community draws no comfort from House Minority Leader Pelosi’s dispassionate remarks when she quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today. We don’t need her self-serving quotes from Dr. King; we need her to exude the leadership of Dr. King.

“I respectfully ask that all elected officials drop their scripted speeches, and feel the pain resonating in Dallas and across the country. Light a blue candle and say a silent prayer, but don’t insult the law enforcement community with perishable scripted gibberish. Five honorable heroes made the ultimate sacrifice in Dallas, and it would be a tribute to their service by illuminating the White House in blue.

“May all our fallen heroes rest in honor, and blessed eternal peace.”
