Here's another chance to 'vote' in a stupid CNN.com poll about flag pins!
http://www.cnn.com/


Do you agree with Sen. Barack Obama's decision to stop wearing his United States flag lapel pin?
Yes 36% 11888
No 64% 20781
Total Votes: 32669


Funny, I must have been absent the day every American citizen was handed 'his' US flag lapel pin.

3. I, unfortunately, read Dobbs' slop as well. I am just sickened by this march to
"Uber-Nationalism".

5. I think the people wearing them should be ashamed, personally.

They should be ashamed of their mindless conformity and anxious desire to appease a bunch of brain dead, jingoistic idiots. Those pins say "coward" to me.

6. Germans who don't wear the swastika should be rounded up on put on the trains!
Oh wait, this isn't Germany in the late 30's.

WTF is the issue here? Should we send Obama to gitmo, and torture him for this transgression against our beloved Fatherland?

7. Something strange going on in this country, wouldn't you say?
Looking for new ways to attack people.

What would they have done before the mass marketing of flag pins?

Very low point in a field that gets lower and lower.

8. If you don't wear your American Flag pin, that was made in China, you support the terrorists.
