I’m glad one of the Presidential candidates has finally taken a stand on the all-important issue of whether or not to wear a flag lapel pin as a sign of one’s patriotism and pride in America. That’s exactly the kind of audacity we need in a Presidential candidate, so let’s all show our appreciation for Barack Obama by not wearing any of his campaign buttons or displaying any of his bumper stickers, yard signs, posters or placards — all of those items that have become a crude substitute for true political support.
