    Has anyone noticed that Hillary Clinton never wears the American flag lapel pin ???

    I googled Google Images and after viewing 10,323 photos of Hillary going back to 1992 not one photo of Hillary being proud of being an American.

    Even Barack Obama caved in and started wearing the American flag lapel pin after he became POTUS even though Obama is on record saying he never looked upon himself as being an American but an internationalist.

    But Hillary refuses to wear the American flag pin. Why ???

    Doing some googling I see others back in 2008 when Hillary was running for President just before the DNC threw her under the bus were also asking the same question.

    From 2008:

    Because she can't kneel when the National Anthem is played.

    What does it matter? Cannot one be a proud American without the wearing of an American flag pin?

    Why aren't all the Trump supporters doing the Trump salute?

    How disrespectful.

    I hope that doesn't threaten your future.

    The White Nationalist Party demands obeisance to the flag at all times...

    LOL, sure you looked at 10,323 photos. Did you crib that from some RW propaganda cite, or make it by yourself?

    John McCain is a disabled combat vet who was tortured by the NVA while a liberal Democrat (Jane Fonda) was outside aiming an anti aircraft gun at American B-52's and because of his injuries he can't get his hands high enough to put the lapel pin on his lapel

    Now you know the rest of the story.

    Good day.

    Proof McCain is not an American hero. Just like conservative Donald says.

    Insignificant nonsense like this seems to only matter to right wingers eager to flout fake patriotism. The paper patriotism from wearing a flag pin proves nothing beyond obsession with the irrelevant. What a ridiculous thread.

    That's the Bellamy salute.

    The Bellamy salute was named after Francis J. Bellamy, the author of the Pledge of Allegiance. However, anyone can see the trouble this salute may have caused in the WWII era. The similarities between the Bellamy salute and Hitler's salute drew commentary as early as the mid-1930s. Congress feared footage of the Bellamy salute could be used by Nazis as propaganda:

    Or Hillary fears loosing the CPUSA endorsement and the Muslim Brotherhood vote.

    Did you see that Wikileaks hacked DNC e-mail where the DNC bought a whole (*)(*)(*)(*) load of Mexican flags for the "taco bowls" to wave at an anti trump rally ?

    The DNC calls Mexicans in the e-mail "taco bowls." :roflol:

    Huma Abedin is a Muslim and a Muslim Brotherhood supporter. 'Taco bowls' is so insulting on so many levels....Calling someone from Mexico a 'taco' in a 'bowl' when everyone knows tacos are served in tortillas, preferably corn tortillas. She even disses the Mexican culinary culture.....What a complete Boob. She probably doesn't even realize where 'taco' came from...

    To where have you traced the birth of the taco? And what about the origin of the word itself?

    The origins of the taco are really unknown. My theory is that it dates from the 18th century and the silver mines in Mexico, because in those mines the word “taco” referred to the little charges they would use to excavate the ore. These were pieces of paper that they would wrap around gunpowder and insert into the holes they carved in the rock face. When you think about it, a chicken taquito with a good hot sauce is really a lot like a stick of dynamite. The first references [to the taco] in any sort of archive or dictionary come from the end of the 19th century. And one of the first types of tacos described is called tacos de minero—miner’s tacos. So the taco is not necessarily this age-old cultural expression; it’s not a food that goes back to time immemorial.

    I thought this was a joke thread.

    Some people get hung up on really stupid things.

    I think it is a perfectly valid thing for people who are committed authoritarians to question.

    But they have to acknowledge that they are applying an authoritarian standard to freedom loving Americans who consider their authoritarianism rather embarrassing.

    But nice try.

    Clinton apparently regards patriotically paying her taxes as a fashion statement.

    Only a lemming would do something only because everyone else is doing it. Glad to see Ms. Clinton is not a lemming.
