OMG Barack Obama doesn't wear a Flag Pin
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 12:52 PM by Lady Freedom
How can a man that doesn't wear a Flag Pin run the country!!!:sarcasm:

"Yesterday, in response to a question from a reporter suspicious of why he wasn’t wearing an American flag pin on his lapel, Barack Obama explained his belief that for some, the pins became a substitute for “true patriotism.” The senator said he would instead “try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”

I didn’t expect leading conservative voices to understand, but I was a little surprised at the ferocity of the response. Jonah Goldberg described Obama’s perspective as “staggeringly stupid,” and “the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of him doing.”

mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources were focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.

9. I heard that this morning and I was appalled that it is even a news story
Jesus, a flag lapel pin does not prove patriotism...And the lack of said pin does not prove he is not patriotic.

NOISE NOISE NOISE. The media is nothing but NOISE.

12. Jonah Goldberg calling something "staggeringly stupid"...
..is the pot calling the kettle, uh, black.

I went to the Obama rally in Washington Square Park last week. It was inspiring, but... Much more work needs to be done on his behalf. (In case I didn't make it clear, I'm for Obama.) I do NOT understand the polls for Clinton. I do NOT understand Democrats in this country anymore. Okay (sigh), I'm not saying that if you're for Clinton you aren't a Democrat. Or even a liberal.

I AM saying I JUST DON'T GET IT!

13. Send him to Gitmo!
He broke one of the most solemn commandments: Thou shalt cover theyself with the flag, and then work against everything that flag stands for.

:sarcasm: of course.
