What BS.

In one breath you're telling me, "it's personal", and then in the next breath you're telling me it's symbolic.

Make up your mind. Which is it?

If it's personal, then it's none of your (*)(*)(*)(*) business, and shut up about it.

It it's symbolic, then what does it symbolize, exactly?

And please don't try to tell me it stands for "mom, apple pie, and the flag" - the reality is, it's just a partisan thing. Dennis freakin' Hastert was giving those pins out on the House floor the first day he became Speaker. Politicians do stuff like that. "Hey, let's have a show of solidarity". Rah rah rah.

People have come to associate that little lapel pin, with the concept that "we can protect you better than the Dems can". That's the freakin' point.

Not freakin' patriotism.

If those weasels were patriotic, they'd take off those stupid lapel pins, roll up their sleeves, and get to work. But instead they're sitting there worrying about god(*)(*)(*)(*) symbolism.

Of all the stupid idiotic sh***....... Ahhhh.......

Argh!!!!!
