I’ve Got Your Flag Pin . . .

April 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

. . . right fucking here.

What are the issues that the United States faces today?

  • Iraq/Afghanistan

  • Middle East

  • The U.S. Economy

    • Mortgage Crisis

    • Credit Crisis

    • College Tuition/Student Loans

    • Foreign Trade Agreements

    • U.S. Manufacturing and Unions

    • Stagnant Wages

    • Executive Pay (yes, this actually impacts the economy)

  • Education

    • Elementary Education Standards

    • Overall Quality of Education

    • High School Graduation Rates

    • Accessibility of College Education

  • The U.S. Constitution

  • Civil LIberites

  • The Environment

  • Energy Policy (a real energy policy that significantly incents the development of renewable sources of energy and independence from fossil fuels)

But we have a debate between those vying for the political leadership position where they will be able to address these issues and the debate focuses on … fucking flag pins and people’s ministers. It’s complete bullshit.

And any of the gaggle of jackasses who have been trying to justify the debate questions as “legitimate” or somehow “relevant” might just as well quit their fucking jobs and go home. Because if the best you can do to be “legitimate” or “relevant” is to ask inane, irrelevant shit like we saw last week, then there is absolutely no need for you to be doing your job.

    Did George Washington wear a flag pin? Did Lincoln? Jefferson? I think not!
