blind nationalism:
wearing a flag lapel pin made in china, and having contempt for those who do not.

You have it backwards. Obama had contempt for those who wear them when he said the flag pen "became a substitute for I think true patriotism". McCain doesnt wear a flag pen but he doesnt make comments critical of those who do.

He was right, of course.

Is that why Obama is wearing his pin again because he has no true patriotism? Has he also never been proud of his country and therefore no reason to be patriotic? Maybe he also believes "GOD DAMNED AMERICA"

Just so I know, does my statement that you are responding to meet the criteria below? Am I subject to the wrath of the moderaters for daring to make such comments? Is this one of those groups where moderaters are in place to ensure that the forum doesnt ever become, heaven forbid, conservative? If I add a few "Bush sucks" comments, might I be spared their wrath?

2. Spamming - What constitutes spamming can be, but is not limited to, "A message (typically an advertisement) sent indiscriminately to a wide set of discussion lists [forums] or newsgroups."[google] Also, any message or series of messages promoting a product, site or service made by a member who does not demonstrate the intention and willingness to participate in the normal discourse of the DPMB can be considered spamming. Spamming will not be tolerated and can result in immediate banning of the spammer.
If you are reading these rules it probably does not apply to you.

3. Flaming - "Originally, flame meant to carry forth in a passionate manner in the spirit of honorable debate. Flames most often involved the use of flowery language and flaming well was an art form. More recently flame has come to refer to any kind of derogatory comment no matter how witless or crude."[google] In a forum with sensitive topics such as this, derogatory flaming is bound to happen. Common sense will prevail, yet this is not an invitation to flame. e.g. "You stupid *****ing moron," is completely unacceptable and could lead to a suspension of posting privileges.

Actually yes.
