Obama And The Flag Pin

I wasn't going to bother addressing this non-story. Recently, Barrack Obama made a big deal about removing a flag pin from his lapel saying he'll show his "patriotism" through his ideas.

I don't particularly care whether he wears one or not. I don't particularly care if anyone wears one or not. But what Obama did was such political BS. And when I read what Dirty Harry at Libertas wrote about it I thought is was worth sharing:

We all know that what’s really happening is that Obama’s getting shellacked by Hillary and this is his final cynical effort to pander to the extremists which makes his empty lapel a symbol of pandering desperation.

The symbol of our country shouldn’t be politicized either when present or absent. But when it’s conspicuously removed by an increasingly insufferable and sanctimonious candidate in desperate need of fringe votes or just as conspicuosly pinned to bad guys by hack filmmakers, it may not be worth getting in a froth over, but it’s certainly worth taking notice of and filing away. But no matter how you shake it, we’re not the ones politicizing it. They are.
