I was "discussing todays political situation in a calm and rational manner" (thats polite talk for an argument)with a couple of co-workers who saw the new "Obama 08" sticker on the back of my car.

Did I mention I work on a DoD base? Did I mention that some of the people I work with have the mental agility of a rock? Anyway I digress.
They were giving me the whole gamut of "facts" about Obama. Muslim, liberal (the "L" word), no hand over the heart, no lapel pin... ya-da ya-da ya-da. Needless to say I tried to correct them on each of their points and in the end I smiled (you ignorant, low-life....) we all had a good laugh and they went away. Whew!
Then the heavens opened up and I was illuminated! An Idea! The lapel pin.
Ok. You rightwing dittoheads want us wussy liberuls to wear a lapel pin? You got it. I propose that every progressive Dem, Indie or Rep go get an American flag lapel pin and wear it UPSIDE DOWN! (I gotta assume everyone knows what flying the American flag upside down means)
And THEN....when told your flag is upside down you tell tham that it is a signal of distress or danger and that you feel that your country is in grave danger from the current administration (polite talk for G effen B and his band of neo-facist cronies) and you will turn it rightside up at the moment of liberation (or something more fitting for your particular circumstances).
And THEN...on the day Obama is sworn in, the minute he takes his hand off the bible after saying the words, we all turn our flag pins rightside up!
I like it!
What do you think?
