Remember the flag pin bullshit? Obama wore his, Bush 41 didn't.
Remember the Republicans attacks on Obama in the General Election because he didn't wear a flag pin?

Well I was looking at the pictures of the five Presidents today, and Barack Obama and surprisingly George W. Bush were the only ones I saw with a flag pin.

So under the Republicans definition of patriotism for our leaders, President Clinton and President Carter, as well as their beloved President George H.W. Bush are all unpatriotic and unamerican.

Kind of like on 9/11, when McCain forgot his flag pin and they had to remind him to put it on :P

1. I guess the Republicans find it comforting to know that all it takes to be American
is to clip on a flag pin.

You can lie, cheat, steal, start wars, kill people, commit treason, violate the Constitution, and that's all OK as long as you do so while wearing a flag pin.

These people really are idiots. There is no other excuse for them, unless you consider they are truly evil hate filled bigots.

2. Yep, be corrupt and greedy. All you need is that flag pin to be pro-America
according to the GOP.
