For some reason (the person at Conservative Cat has a theory) my trackbacks aren't showing up properly or at all at several blogs so I'm just posting the title and link in the comments section if you don't mind. The title is:

Somebody noticed I wasn't wearing a flag lapel pin and I told folks, well you know what? I haven't probably worn that pin in a very long time. I wore it right after 9/11. But after a while, you start noticing people wearing a lapel pin, but not acting very patriotic. Not voting to provide veterans with resources that they need. Not voting to make sure that disability payments were coming out on time. My attitude is that I'm less concerned about what you're wearing on your lapel than what's in your heart. And you show your patriotism by how you treat your fellow Americans, especially those who served. You show your patriotism by being true to our values and our ideals and that's what we have to lead with is our values and our ideals.

Let me put it this way: in terms of "branding," if someone can't be troubled to "talk the talk" and wear a few grams of symbolism, what confidence can you place in them doing anything more strenuous in the vein of patriotism?

Rather than look at what pin they are wearing you could look to what they actually say and do. If what they say and do is patriotic then you can be quite confident in their patriotism. In the case of Obama he has said and done plenty to indicate his patriotism and a pin more or less will not change that.

If H. Barack Obama doesn't feel that wearing a U.S. flag lapel pin indicates patriotism, that's his lookout. It's muddy thinking, but then it's better we find that out about him now than later on.

Wearing a flag pin does not indicate patriotism any more than wearing an AIDS ribbon indicates a genuine commitment to do something about AIDS. Of course neither of these fashion choices indicate a lack of commitment either, but unfortunately in far too many cases these items are a substitute for a real commitment.
