Did Ronald Reagan wear a flag pin?

[dancingme]

every day? any day?

1. Noticed flag pins only after 9-11. n/t

2. He didn't have to

There's the hypocrisy in it all. Just like Kerry and Gore went to Vietnam, but it wasn't enough, while Bush never went to Vietnam but that was fine. Reagan could have worn Gerald Ford's penis on his lapel and it wouldn't have mattered.
OK, maybe to Ford it would have.

3. this is not meant as disrespect to your question

but i think the general question should be, is this a legitamate issue? i think the only important issue is getting this maniac out of the white house. we talk about candidates patriotism creditials and yet we have a boy in the white house who has trampled everything that is good about our country.

4. No.....the flag pin is the Nazi SS armband to the Neocon fascists

phony patriotism symbol by the draft dodging cowards of the Vietnam generation.

5. In Reagan's case, he might have. Or not. He isn't sure.

If he did wear one he might not have known what it was. If he was not wearing one he likely wouldn't have missed it.

All he would have known is how upset Nancy was when Ron Jr was pracning around on the tv screen in his undies.

6. FDR didn't, and somehow, we did okay. Didn't have 'under God' in the pledge either. nt

7. McCain doesn't wear one either.

Nor does Clinton.

Obama is held to a different standard.

Fuck the media hooores.

10. With Obama it's flag pins

with Clinton it's pant suits vs dresses

Isn't it great to live in a country where the press only focus on significant, pressing issues.

12. I don't call it the press corpse for nothing.

It used to be something I joked about, but it hasn't been funny for awhile. :mad:

Thank goodness the public isn't as stoopid as the eggspurts.

[rpannier]

13. That is great

On another topic...

My condolences on the passing of Kaylee.

14. Thanks...

:hug: I appreciate your kindness.

11. Thats how AA's are always held to "a different standard" It's true look

at everything he is being slammed for and is excepted from EVERY other candidate past or present:

"Relationships" being flimsy or not
Pastors and their remarks
patriotism

I can't even continue any more. I hate American politics.

[City Lights]

15. He also threatens the status quo, which has lots of people shaking in

their boots.

McCain and Clinton are given high marks for clearing a crack on the sidewalk, while Obama is expected to clear a pole vault crossbar without the pole. :grr:

8. Wearing a flag pin to prove you're an American is something akin to

wearing a dildo to prove you're male.

I have no idea what flag lapel pins cost, but the money could almost certainly be used more wisely toward another purchase.

9. WHO CARES?????????

This is such a stupid topic!!!

Issues people, ISSUES!!!

Issues like gas prices, stagnant incomes, foreclosures, education, WAR, etc...

Flag pins are NOT an issue in my life!!! Flag pins do NOT resolve these everyday issues!

Move on, PLEASE!!!
