"His refusal to wear a flag pin."
It's more disturbing that politicians do wear them. It's cheap symbolic patriotism. Politicians in the past didn't wear them, because they showed their patriotism through their actions, not an accesory. Dwight Eisenhower didn't wear them. Neither did Bill Clinton, etc. It doesn't mean anything, other than a willingness to bow to political pressure from the likes of Sean Hannity. I don't get how we got to a point where politicians have to be so un-subtle to show their patriotism.
