Wave That Lapel
This is an open letter to just about every politician here in the US of A.

Oh, I think I get it. You want people to know that you’re patriotic, right?
It’s awfully small, though. Are you saying you’re just a little patriotic? Are you trying to be subtle? This is America, remember?

Your tiny pin mocks this great nation.
Traitor.
