GWG85 discovered 3 months ago- Bob Schieffer is one of the best in television journalism, and his commentary on the flag pin dust-up is right on the mark.

- I do so agree! Let's keep to the issues, and stop detail picking at tiny details. Are there not enough problems to solve?

- With any luck, Bob Schieffer's commentary at the close of Face The Nation will end all further discussion of lapel pins. Finally, today, I watched the ABC debate the other night when that question came up again about why Senator Obama doesn't wear a flag pin in his lapel. Since no one asked me, here is my thought on all that. I think it's a nice thing if people want to wear a flag on their lapel. But I believe it more important to keep the flag behind our lapel in our hearts. I feel the same way about wearing my religion on my sleeve. It just fits me better on the inside. When I go to see our local baseball team, I do wear my Washington Nationals baseball cap. But am I less a fan if don't wear it to work? The truth is I have been known to wear a red, white and blue stars and stripes tie on the Fourth of July. But am I less patriotic when I trade it for my Santa Claus tie at Christmas? Patriotism is no more about signs or pins than religion is about reminding others how pious we think we are. No, the proof in these puddings is not the signs that we wear, but how we act. Wouldn't that also be a better way to judge our presidential candidates than by the jewelry they wear?

- That's what I'm talking about Bob. And if I'm not mistaken, NONE of the candidates regularly wear a lapel pin, not even McCain.
