The Pinhead Conservative
The conservative bloggers are out there. While not as prolific, or organized, or literate as their liberal counterparts, they are trying, in a very desperate attempt to trump us some tabloid shock in the election. So what are the really big, most popular and important issues the conservative blogger is sharing?
For one...the lapel pin. According to these fringe thinkers, the legal requirements to be a US President is not being a natural born citizen or being 35 years of age. It's a lapel pin. Let's call these people what they really are...'pinheads'.
Patriotism is what's worn on the collar. Make sure the troops know this. After all, the type of lapel pin will win the war on terror.
The Chinese-made cheap metal and probably, lead-paint filled flags, show up on many politician's business suits, but rarely do we see such attention to insignificant details. Only an act of complete desperation would generate such a focus.
It is a slow news week, when this very stupid point gets media attention.
A true act of desperation. An embarrassment; that further identifies the conservatives, as a foolish and insulting fringe group in America's electorate. Let's see where those pins were made. Is Mitch McConnell wearing a US made or did it come from China? Is it solid gold, or one of the cheap Chinese ones offered on the GOP website? The liberal blogger could come back with something equally as irrelevant and insulting. McCain's legal citizenship. He was born in the Panama Canal...something the US never owned, just administered when he was born. Is this a real issue? No. Will it find it's way to the media? Probably. Will it influence a vote? There might actually be someone, so stupid and so delusional, as to actually vote as a 'pinhead'. It's sad, for sure. But I suspect at least one voter will decide that as their issue.
The idea that any candidate is somehow not patriotic, just because they are not dressed according to some bizarre 'political fashion police' concept is insulting. Every Presidential candidate has spent a lifetime, in public service; probably having donated more volunteer time before they turned 21, in one day...than many of the 'pinheads' have volunteered in a lifetime!
Americans understand this kind of sick and insulting desperation. Patriotism is not worn on one's sleeve, fragile emotions are. We watched with shame and embarrassment as Nixon's last days ran down until his resignation. We felt sorry for him, in his refusal to apologize for his disgusting breech of our trust. Nixon always wore a lapel pin. This was a guy who lost his right to be called a patriot, when he insulted our trust, for his own political gain. The 'pinheads' are in that same classless sewer.
Using the term patriot is such a juvenile manner, and trying to associate a person's qualifications, based on such a thing, is the ultimate insult to what America stands for. Our troops do not sacrifice for a lapel pin, yet conservatives gladly make that claim.
These people are not patriots. They are 'pinheads".
