Really hard to drape yourself in teh flag and call yourself a true 'murican.

Like seriously, who is so ****ing simple that they take into account how much flag porn the candidate throws into their face? I mean, besides Boris?

Hey, us libertarians see the flag as a holy symbol of something greater than areselves. We like to respect it as it stands for ideals. You libeals want to desecrate are respect for ideals to make us sound crazy? Fine, we 'murica an we damn proud of it.

For me, when I salute the flag I am not soluting blind devotion to country. I am soluting a set of principles and values that make the world a better place. Freedom, liberty, advancement of the human race, democratic decision process, an sharing this with the rest of the world by forcing world peace.

So sorry [MENTION=26]Gameface[/MENTION] for "draping myself in the flag" by seeing a symbol as sacrosanct of these values. I guess I really am that stupid.

You know your taking to a military vet, right?

Having a flag lapel pin is meaningless.

In essence so is having weddings funerals holidays retirement parties home welcomings and birthday gifts. That means we should not respect others or ideals? I do not get that.
Plus I like an excuse to party

It speaks volumes in code speak, too. Not that there aren't some Dem or Rsps who are more show than sincere. But it does sorta say you want to be American.

Maybe Constitutional, patriotic, conservative, loyal, proud, baseball, applepie, baby kissing and all that.

Someone who has to invent a hidden agenda for wearing it, who say would rather wear a UN pin on the lapel, is saying something else.
 
Bin laden should have just worn an American flag pin at all times and we never would have even went after him. Would have just considered his terrorist act's "accidents" and forgiven him.

All that really matters is American flag pins

You are being dumb. Bin laden wore the equivalent of the American lapel pin. ISIS wares the equivalent of the American lapel pen. You [MENTION=840]fishonjazz[/MENTION] and [MENTION=26]Gameface[/MENTION] fail to realize the practical importance of symboligy in the world. Sure, it may be silly an maybe you are too wise too not partake in it, but maybe also denying that that is not the world human nature is not the smartest course of action to take.

I ask you have you no customs or culture? Have you no sense of right or wrong or moral code with which to live by? Are there no longer any sacred towers we can construct to idealize the notions?
