I'm asking out of genuine curiosity, not trying to pick a fight or anything like that. But what political statement do you think is being made by wearing the flag?

Are you assuming that it indicates support for a particular party? Or for the war in Iraq? Or for disbanding the U.N.?

Like I said, I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just don't see why wearing the flag has to be some political statement. Maybe it's a personal statement about love for one's homeland, regardless of who holds the White House.
