With all the disaster going on in this country . . . and you're concerned about a frigging lapel pin. If a person needs a stupid lapel pin to prove their patriotism, that's sad. But then . . . what is there to be patriotic about in America, 2012???????? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25232356 Totally sociopathic, there is no way to describe it - using Patriotism like Trophy to murder. It's these things that should give the little people an insight into the inner working of the global rulers. There's a very fine line between the 'personalities' of the Elite and the inhabitants of Death Row. They are much the same except one group is stopped from living out it's perverse fantasies. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25176129 United States 10/09/2012 05:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This whole thing is absurd. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1697464 What the fuck does wearing a pin have to fucking do with being a patriot?! It's all fucking nonsense. Does wearing a pin magically make you not NWO cocksucking piece of shit? Get it together GLP tards. Fuck. On top of that, the 'flying' of the flag on everything from buses and backhoes to lapels didn't start until after 9/11. Flag waving/display is closer aligned to nazi germany fascism than the current admin is to socialism...although I agree we are sliding into socialism economically, it has nothing to do with how/where/when the flag is displayed. The first thing I noticed after moving cities not long after 9/11 is how the flag suddenly showed up everywhere...particularly I found it offensive on city buses, being public transportation. People should have a right to "throw" the flag up whenever they please. It should be their choice rather than just banning them all together. That said, I hate flag worship. |

Patriotism didn't work out to well for you guys. For the rest of us that don't want to get rid of countries and borders and who don't buy into the citizen of world/world communism BS, please let us have the right to show patriotism if we so choose. Germany had a very evil leader, just as we do now. Patriotism can be good, or bad depending on the people leading the herd. If they are evil they can take the whole country over the cliff, while everybody sings the Star Spangled Banner on the way down. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 14010048 United States 10/09/2012 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The last time I checked I lived in the USA. That means we have the choice to wear a flag pin or a nose ring, it is our right, our choice. As long as we are not injuring anyone by doing it, it is our choice. The bigger picture here is that because we live in the USA, our government can not mandate that anyone not wear a flag pin nor a nose ring. This mandate would violate our constitutional rights. However, our employer can mandate these things. Imagine if they mandated what you ate for lunch or what time you went to bed at night. It's getting a little ridiculous what an employer can mandate without being held accountable for violating our rights. They're mandating what kids eat & don't eat not only while at school but now what their parents can send them for lunch. Currently, a large majority of employers are mandating that their employees must receive the current flu shot. If they don't voluntarily (?) receive the flu shot, they will be fired. Ridiculous! They've (TPTB) figured it out, our government doesn't have to do anything to mandate violating our rights, they are now leaving that to our employers. "If you do, you will loose your job!" How ignorant for ABC to ban anything, let alone a "flag pin". How about they ban ignorant pundits? How about they ban spreading propaganda? I noted yesterday that Ohio is introducing a bill that would ban concealed carry on any property the carrier didn't own. Again, our federal government doesn't have to change our Constitution, they'll just leave it to the states or the employers. I don't recognize this place anymore. As I read most of what everyone has written, I shook my head. Since when was wearing a flag pin considered overtly patriotic? Did we not watch people all over the Middle East burn our flag as they shouted "Death to America"? It's their right. I agree, it is their right, but we also have rights too. We have the right to end aid to those countries. We have the right to view you as ignorant radicals. We have a right to believe that Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. We also have the right to draw funny faces on images of Mohammed & make silly videos about Islam & Mohammed. I will never apologize for being an American. I will never apologize for freedom of speech. If ABC wants to ban flag pins, so be it. ABC is failing, along with NBC, CBS, CNN & MSNBC. They are pandering to their last market, the far left. Good luck with that, the far left rarely has a pot to piss in, let alone a window to throw it out of, but it is ABC's choice. They have never been known as the brightest bulb in the batch. Good luck Disney! What would happen if everyone boycotted Disney? We, Americans, will NEVER be controlled. There are just way too many of us Independent Americans who believe in FREEDOM. |

The University Bomber 2. The Communist 3. The Zionist Is there a Republican Manifesto? If not, it seems that now might be a good time to start writing one. If America goes, it'll be the last time this form of government will ever be tried. It might be nice to have a lasting document to describe this social experiment. What it meant. How it failed. I propose a contest. Who can write the best Republican Manifesto? To be voted on by all GPL paying members. Last Edited by USCG Popeye on 10/09/2012 09:19 AM |
