Since the flag pin came off the stage is lined with Old Glory when Obama speaks! Do I detect some hypocracy here somewhere?

Obama not wearing a flag pin is as disrespectful as a woman not wearing a cover on her head in a Catholic Church. We are in the new millennium, time changes everything eventually.

Oh, please! Obama could wear the flag pin AND still have the flag in his heart, just like a lot of us other Americans do, politicians or not. I don't buy his reason for not wearing the flag pin any more than I do that he sat in a church for over 20 years and didn't know about or hear the racist and anti-American rantings of his one-time so-called pastor, spiritual advisor, mentor and surrogate father, Jeremiah Wright.
Hmmm, maybe Obama found out that Black Liberation theology somehow forbids wearing or showing honor to our flag and that's the real reason he stopped wearing it. Who knows with this guy? He changes his "position" on things over and over again, while saying a lot that sounds nice but really doesn't mean anything when you actually parse his words for any real substance.
Cohen says, "...it is bracing to see a... candidate recoil...from the orthodoxies of pander. In this regard, the lack of a flag pin has become an important sign of Obama's desire to think for himself. For all it says about Obama, I salute it."
Moose manure! Obama panders all the time, just like any other politician. He just panders to the far Left, that's all, while at the same time being dismissive of and condescending toward "the masses" of small town Americans for ignorantly "clinging" to their faith and firearms in times of trouble.
Barack Obama is probably a Black Liberation Marxist who's assuredly an arrogant, I'm-so-perfect-and-pretty elitist snob, to boot. He may actually have stopped wearing the flag pin simply because it was punching holes in his millionaire suits. So much for "convictions" and a lack of pandering, one way or the other.
If you're going to salute anything, Cohen, make sure it's the American flag -- for that flag symbolizes the country which gives you the freedom and guarantees you the right to write your tripe. Maybe you could get Obama to salute along with you.

Symbols of patriotism are just that symbols. What matters is what's in the heart. South Dakota's corn growers will see that Sen. Obama is genuine about the welfare of this country, not just one segment of it's population. It takes a strong leader to admit that, and that's why he gets my vote, from the oil producing state of Louisiana.

I am sure most of us would trade a flag pin for a reduction in spending and the deficit, a balanced budget and a foreign policy that ensures domestic security and tranquility, the kind of changes we really need. It would do much to promote the general welfare.

Flag pin or not, Obama's views on ethanol production won't fly when he comes to South Dakota's primary in June...good luck telling South Dakota farmers that all their corn production is worthless.

Why don't you just read Pat Buchanon and Dick Morris? Arcamax has columns on both ends of the spectrum

Oh Please, I am also sick of idiots who can put alot of words down for a long article and say nothing that matters. Do something meaningfull and sell the flag pins so you can hire someone to write for you or better yet, give the profit to McCain's campaign since he will need alot of funds come November.

I'am real close to unsubscribing from AcraMax
if this jerks articles continue!
