I Won't Wear That Pin
What is it with the flag obsession for the GOP? Gotta fly 'em, wear 'em and salute 'em in order to prove your patriotism.
Of course, for many, the ferver extends to the Rebel Flag as well, but that's the subject of another post. See The Flag Flies.
This week, Barack Obama created a controversy over the fact that he said that the flag lapel pin has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since 9/11, so he won't wear it any more. See Why Barack won't wear the flag.
OMG. What a scandal!! You would have thought he said his middle name was Hussein.
The ridiculousness of the reaction is the subject of Saturday's Silliness. A two-fer.
