Lapel Flag Pins

Anyone who thinks that they’re being patriotic by wearing a flag pin on their person is simply an idiot. Anyone who thinks that people who don’t wear flag pins are unpatriotic is unpatriotic himself. It reminds me of the Nazi propaganda films where citizens are marching down the streets waving the swastika and chanting slogans. Is this what  passes for patriotism these days? “I’m more American than you are because I’m wearing a flag pin that you can barely see and that is most likely made in China?” The people who think that flag pins are the new patriot issue are probably the same people who voted for President Bush…the same man who has taken this country to war recklessly, destroyed our standing on the world stage, sent troops into war without adequate armor, and failed to give proper medical care to returning veterans. You don’t think Bush is unpatriotic?
