This is my Sheriff... Pickens County

This is my Sheriff as well and I could not disagree with him more. This isnt the first time and wont be the last that our flag is flying at half staff for a foreign leader. Mandela is one of the greatest leaders to ever walk the face of the earth. My problem with all this is that like it or not and I am a Republican, but Obama was duly elected by the majority and as such issued an executive order mandating flags be at half staff through Mandela's funeral. Our Sheriff who is the chief officer of the law is knowingly and willingly breaking the laws of the land (an executive order is the law). He he thinks he is above the law, then the residents of the county should be as well. Just my opinion.
