This country is not about a flag pin; it%u2019s not about a flag; it is more about a citizen%u2019s right to burn that flag in protest if they disagree with what this country is doing. Anyone who thinks wearing a flag pin makes them patriotic is sick. It%u2019s like a baby that cries, not because it hurts, but because it wants others to think it hurts. This country is about the right of a person to get up and put forth an opinion that others might totally disagree with, and you have the right to protest it . That is what America is about; that is what we should celebrate. It%u2019s called freedom of expression as provided for in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution: The right to express ourselves any way we wish. Our military risk their lives so that all Americans can enjoy the rights provided for in our Constitution, whether their manner of doing so is popular or not. - Reply to this comment

- Obama is asking us to pay attention and get involved, he is asking us to listen to what he has to say, and to take some initiative to look up all of the specifics he has laid out in his "blueprint for America" (available on his website)for how he would like to implement change. In other words Obama is trying to help educate low information voters so they don''t have to keep repeating hate speech that they get from talk radio.
He is asking us to step up to the plate and take some responsibility for moving this country forward in a way that benefits us all (not just the top 1%, like McCain%u2019s plans would do).
"We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities for Americans to serve. And we will direct that service to our most pressing national challenges.
"When you choose to serve %u2014 whether it''s your nation, your community, or simply your neighbor, You are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That is why this is a great nation," - Reply to this comment

Rowdy the reason people can''t stand your post is because they are based on your t-offed women emotions instead of logic. You used to rip McCain and Bush, now all of a sudden because you blame Obama for Hillary''s lose, you have become a republican. Their is no honesty, intelegance or common sense behind your posts.
Hillary was the most over rated canidate to ever run for president. She is the reason she lost. Obama smoked her like one of Bill''s hummers!
Clinton''s are done! Its all over, I kinda miss them, the news isn''t as exciting without the daily Clinton soap opera! - Reply to this comment

- It''''s been my experience that those who engage in name-calling do so because of ignorance and the inability to posture an intelligent argument. Please attempt to disguise your stupidity so it is not so obvious.

**************
You epitomize the stupidity and comoplacency that''s engulfed America. When did I ever say I want a candidate swho agrees with me on every issue? I never said that, idiot.
What I said, and I will repeat it, is that progressives have be used and lied to by Obama. He made promises to put himself where he is, and how that he''s there, he''s broken those promises.
Where does that leave progressives who supported Obama?
Should we tolereate yet again be stabbed in the abck, waiting only for it to happen again?
So again, you complacent idiot, Obama is a fraud and any progressive who votes for him is eighter ignorant or putting their hopes into a fraud.
Join me in sending a message to the DNC. Join me in sitting out this election. Let the DNC lose. Only then will it begin fulfilling its promises istead of pandering to neocons. - Reply to this comment
- We are all so worried about Senator Obama and all our law makers wearing that flag pin made in China. Just like all the large flags being displayed. Everything seems to be made in Communist China. Looks like all the free trade is benefiting somewhere.

- Obama and his flag pin are a complete fraud. How much longer will American''s be decevied by Obama? Fool us once, shame on us. Fool Us twice, shame on Us.
Progressives need to sit out this election. Obama has already betrayed us and become an AIPAC pandering neocon. Why would we progressives support that? Sit out the election progressives!! Until we do, we will never get anything we want; we will only continue to be used. Sit it out!!!! - Reply to this comment
