I'll be Goddamned if I'll vote for a candidate
who is alleged to sometimes not wear a flag lapel pin.

I mean, how could you trust a President like that?

lawn ornaments in their yards. Only the bitterest elitist would fail to have lawn ornaments.

8. Every time this flag pin thing comes up.....
I think of the John Prine song...

"Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore,...
It's already overcrowded from your dirty little war,
And jesus don't like killing, no matter what the reason's for...
And your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore."

13. Worn properly,
the flag is a sign of the greatest level of patriotism. Even Jesus sayeth, "Greater love hath no patriot than this: that he shalt wear a flag pinneth."

Now, we do not want a bunch of YIPPIE Undergrounders like Abbie Hoffman wearing a flag shirt. The police were fully justified in breaking his nose. We need to wear flag pins as a sign of our individuality. I for one, plan to buy two flag neckties, to wear at once. This will serve to prove that I am twice as patriotic as the abnormal person wearing but one.

who don't wear ties at all.

I got one committed to a psych ward last week.
