I just read a book called
"Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America". I really have no axe to grind with regard to American politics but some of the nonsense being spouted about Obama just seems unbelievable if you believe what people are doing. A lot of it seems to be very thinly disguised racism.
With regard to the flag thing, I think people should absolutely be able to display their national flag - why the hell not? Unfortunately, and disgracefully, in the UK the Union Jack has been hijacked by the far right (racist parties) and displaying it lends people to believe that you are one of them.
