WTF????????????????????????????
I don't know about a flag pin, but you are saying that serving honorably in the US Military doesn't suggest
some degree of patriotism. Are you f***ing kidding me?
So then by your own admission, your own standards, McCain IS more patriotic then Obama.
Not at all. The question is a hypothetical that if we were to judge a person by only those two standards. The implied point is that serving in the military does suggest some degree of
true patriotism whereas wearing a flag pin label says nothing about one's true patriotism. I never questioned McCain's patriotism. And I don't see any reason to question Obama's patriotism either. Wing nuts often confuse patriotism with
nationalism and those who place value on superficial things like flag pins are engaging in that confusion
