[Vision2020] Flags at Half Staff?

And when those to whom they're accountable, or should be, are oddly silent . . .

These are times when crackpots flourish.

  That's it -- business still conducted, but memorial tributes held.

What 
  a terrible, terrible day, and its anniversary is, to me, all the more sobering 
  given the ugly rhetoric flying about these days.  Which makes Doug 
  Wilson's Blog and Mablog post yesterday even more lamentable and less pastoral 
  than usual.  That's saying a lot, sadly.  

Wilson says that 
  our government's authority is unrighteous and God-denying and says there is no 
  need "grounded in conscience" to honor that authority, and he refers to 
  Obama's governance as "plundering" -- on the heels of his ten-point mandate 
  last month calling for Christian men to resist the chains of "tyranny" he sees 
  coming from Obama.  There's no circumstance imaginable under which 
  Wilson's counsel in this would qualify as mature and pastoral; in the 
  political and social atmosphere swirling around us now, it's reckless, 
  hateful, and utterly irresponsible.  Timothy McVeigh wasn't born a 
  terrorist; long before he blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, he 
  was merely angry and alienated.  Then he chose to immerse himself in 
  ugly, crazy, hate talk, talk that pastors used to condemn from the pulpit, and 
  it became clear to McVeigh that he was a soldier in the war against 
  tyranny.  And soldiers fight against the enemy.  Rhetoric, his and 
  others', became action, and, unfortunately, anti-government extremism then 
  contributed to his going off the evil deep end.  I'm afraid the same is 
  entirely possible, even likely, now.  I pray America's far-right would 
  breed truth and righteousness and not terrorism and rioting, but people will 
  do what people will do.  May God have mercy.
