Hey I know I am Republican and I am supposed to walk in lock step with all the other Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh and Halliburton controlled robots out there, but guess what, we all have our own opinions. Thats right, we don't always agree and we are far from being under anyone's control.

That brings me to the issue of Barack Obama's lapel pin, or lack there of.

Personally I don't care if he wears an American flag lapel pin or not. Senator Obama's anti war views are what matters to me, and what should matter to you.

If he came out wearing an Uncle Sam outfit, complete with top hat to the next Democratic debate, that would not change my opinion of him. If he wore Apollo Creed's red white and blue boxing trunks to the next anti war rally it doesn't change the fact that he wants a rapid retreat in the face of a very dangerous enemy.
Actually I find it refreshing to have someone tell us that a flag lapel pin doesn't make one patriotic. I agree, and I wear an American flag pin on my suit jacket.

It's something I wear as a show of support for my country. It's more for me than for anyone else. When I run into a liberal democrat wearing one, it doesn't make me me think, yea sure he's a closet socialist, but he has an American flag on his lapel, he must be ok right?

Now If Senator Obama shows up for the next democrat debate wearing Fidel's camouflage fatigues and sporting chairman Mao's cap with a red star, then I will have something to say about how the man dresses.

Now lets get on with some serious issues, Did you see LeBron wearing a Yankees cap to the Indians game? Whats he thinking?
