Poll question: Do You Own a Flag Pin?

[shadowknows69]

1. I think I mothballed it with my Boy Scout uniform

Oops, sorry America. If I'd known there was going to be a test.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. This One

:sarcasm:

[sellitman]

3. I have one BUT.....

It looks like this:

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Not exactly a flag pin, but one that would be deemed patriotic.

I don't wear it because such displays have been hijacked by the right and would probably be misconstrued around this part of the country as meaning that I am a Republican.

8. Exactly. The Right stole the flag. nt

[CarbonDate]

5. No, but I have the "U.S." lapel pins that go with my uniform.

Along with my Iraq Campaign Medal. Hope that's enough for the hyperpatriots out there.

[MaineDem]

6. I have a donkey pin.

:dem:

[Recursion]

7. 1 US flag pin, 1 state flag pin, 1 USMC pin, and one Welsh flag pin

Whenever I'm in a suit, I have some bizarre and semi-conscious algorithm for figuring out which one I wear that day.

9. i wear a bowling pin on my lapel instead

much more subtle

[psychopomp]

10. MADE IN CHINA

11. I heart irony.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. Hear, Hear.

[Hersheygirl]

12. No,

and I wouldn't wear it anyway if I did, not till it stands for something honorable again like the freedoms we once had.

13. I go along with John Prine's "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore".

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehead.

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."
