The lapel pin is the single most visible and easy way to identify yourself with our country. That is, to say, I am on your side, the RIGHT side! What could be easier?<BR/><BR/>Lacking extreme emotion during the pledge of allegiance? I can't recite the pledge without my eyes getting at least a little watery. Should we ask less of our president?<BR/><BR/>His wife saying she just recently became proud of her country? After liberating Saddam's oppressed and generously exporting our #1-requested brand of democracy, it just goes to show.... liberals will disrespect the greatest sacrifice.<BR/><BR/>So add up, they do, and don't discount the Obama sleeper cell argument. Please remember to include the H in BHO, remember that Fox News reports (no, they didn't make the allegation, someone else did) that even a fist-jab can be a terrorist symbol, and what if, heaven forbid, he is even, as your commenter said, a homosexual. Careful loyal countrymen, take all possible precautions.<BR/><BR/>God BlessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824504.post-47577725903205877602008-02-21T11:20:00.000-08:002008-02-21T11:20:00.000-08:00This title = Indignant white people.

What the future First Lady said was - this is the first time in her "adult life" (not entire life) that she was "really proud" of America (not the 1st time she's ever been proud). Hardly a radical statement from a minority woman in this country. And, for the record, she made it from rags to riches in spite of how incredibly difficult the odds are for a Black woman in America (not because of it). That's not to say that America is not the best country to live in for some, but we are no where near perfect, and those who believe we are (or never complain about it) are living in a perpetual state of disillusionment. Let's not pretend that America is a place that has been idaelly designed for the ascension of Black women.

Why can't he wear a flag on his lapel? Why can't he put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem plays. Of course, it's a free country, but there are only enough people in the country who feel the same way to nominate him, not to elect him. Wait until somebody asks him in a debate, "If elected, do you intend to put your hand on the bible and add 'so help me God' to the oath."

Democracy really is the worst decision-making system I have participated in, except of course, for all the others.<BR/><BR/>If you can't see the bad news, I think you're a little scary, and I think you really can't truly see the good news.<BR/><BR/>For your own sake, maybe its time your broadened your emotional litmus test.
