Flag-pin patriotism
There is something uniquely “American” about the obsession with pointless and trite symbols of nationalistic fervor. As I sit here on a flight to NC, I am struck by the sheer number of flag pins, t-shirts and other detrius of modern life.
Where were these “patriots” when the Constitution was being trampled and out basic liberties abridged? Busy shopping for more crap.
