Barac: Thank you for not wearing that flag pin ,it would be seen as hypocritical and probably makes you feal a little uncomfortable ,maybe if we added a hammer, a sickle ,and a peace sign ,you could wear it with at least as much pride as you and Your media seem to have in your middle name. Infact I hope your entire party refuses to desecrate OUR SYMBOL ,out of respect for OUR TROOPS that wear it with honor, the Troops that your party sends to war and then disowns the second they come under fire. Personally I hope you do get the democratic nomination because I am curious to see what the backdrop for your big speech will be ,and what color ballons will fall from the ceiling when you bring that wonderful collection of single issue voters to their feet with your words of solidarity.
You are correct when you say that patriotism is not something you prove by wearing a pin ,it comes from the heart, and it would not matter if you gave the most eliquent speech of your life dreesed up like UNCLE SAM ,your heart will make you look more like stallin then say Apollo Creed.
I would be honored to hear your party's entire convention recite a pledge that I wrote on their behalf ,and I have a fealing it would fill your heart with the pride it is lacking.
THE LIBERAL PLEDGE OF NON-ALLEGIANCE
I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE NOT TO THAT FLAG BUT TO THE WANTS THAT I HOLD DEAR.
SO IF OUR TROOPS INVADE HARMS WAY REMEMBER YOU VOLUNTEERED.
AND AS FOR THIS REPUBLIC WHICH SHOULD BE BANNED I VOW NO BORDER SHALL EVER STAND.
A ONE WORLD NATION ABOVE GOD ,DIVISIBLE TO THE POINT OF TREASON TOWARDS ALL WHO DO NOT HEED
THAT LIBERTY AND JUSTICE BELONG SOLEY TO THOSE UNABLE TO SUCCEED.
