Fake Patriot?

You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.

True patriotism? The inference being that people who wore a lapel pin were faking their patriotism.

What...what's that he's wearing on his lapel during his recent visit to "The View"? Is that a sign of his fake patriotism?  Why, I think it is.  What's the point of this post?  There isn't one.  I was just bored and didn't have anything else to do.
