The U.N. Flag Half-Mast-Fiction!

| The Truth
It is true that the U.N. flag did not
fly at half-mast when Ronald Reagan died, but it was not an act of
disrespect to Mr. Reagan.
According to the U.N., its flag is flown at half-mast whenever a
world leader dies in office such as Yassar Arafat.
Ronald Reagan did not die in office so the flag was not lowered.

appeared on the Internet: |
All you need to know about the U.N.
Here's everything we need to know about the moral
decrepitude of the U.N.:
UN flag in front of the building in NY was flown at
half-mast for the death
of Arafat,
but NOT for the death of Ronald Reagan.
