2. They're like little swastikas.

They say, "I support whatever the government does because that's what patriotism in a fascist state is all about."

Same deal with the troops magnets.

4. That's not what they say at all.
"They say, 'I support whatever the government does because that's what patriotism in a fascist state is all about.'"
Patriotism and nationalism are two different things. Comparing a flag pin to a swastika pin? Hitler was Führer for eleven years, which would have been longer had he not lost to the stars and stripes and decided to take a lead Nyquil rather than answer for his crimes. W. will leave office in January of 2009, smirking and waving as he boards Marine One. He'll probably never have to answer for his crimes, but he will LEAVE.

but I will tell you where you can stick that flag pin.

7. People that value flag pins over economy and national security should not be allowed to vote.

Here in the bible belt people actually vote on bullshit like that.

I want to smack them in the face with their one overbloated issue voting.
