Loved this response to Fox News Katie Pavlich complaint about no flag pin

Thank goodness for the women of Fox News who are always there to remind us that eternal vigilance to hair, makeup and lapel pins is the price of liberty.

Obama didn't wear an American flag lapel during the first debate (I think).
Conservative pundits complained about it back then too. Sadly, it actually the news cycle for the day or two with multiple news casts broadcasting it for some reason.
Most ppl I know where like "who cares". In the end, Obama basically had to wear one after all major speeches and debates.

Jesus fish on the windows of local businesses. They indicate nothing at all. You have to wait and see whether either is deserving of support.

Most of those flag wavers are some of the most anti-American people you could meet.

If you have to actively sell the shit, then people aren't really coming to buy what you are offering.
