Oh well. I really don't think I'm unpatriotic because of that. It is what it is.

Agreed. I don't wear flag jewelery either. But if I were running for President, and someone gave me a flag pin to wear, I probably wouldn't refuse. Why? Because while Patriotism IS in your heart, when you're trying to convince others that you're the right candidate for President, you need to make every effort to display what's in your heart...refusing to wear the pin doesn't necessarily mean you aren't Patriotic in your heart, it COULD mean that...
