Im sure that the lame excuse the America hating dems use as to why they openly hate the US flag..
You're getting really lame at this stuff.
"A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man."
When you get done beating your strawman to death, there's just gotta be a dead horse or two around here you can continue flailing away at.

Do we still not have an answer as to why the flag was not prominently on display during what was essentially a multi-day job interview for the highest office of the land?
Was it an omission or a conscious decision? If it was a conscious decision, what was the rationale?
Like it or not, folks, patriotism and the flag is the only identity we have anymore to bind us together as a nation. "Living together within the same geographical boundaries" is not enough to get people in this country to agree to sacrifice their labor and tax money for other people who otherwise share nothing in common with them.

The entire stage was flag-themed red, white and blue, and there was a large flag-themed backdrop behind them sporting the stars and stripes.
So now we have the flag police determining how much is enough to be considered patriotic now, and anything falling below some random amount is not patriotic enough? Will you be measuring the size of their lapel flag pins next to determine the level of patriotism each candidate displays? Because we all know that that kind of tripe is important to conservatives.
I know my voting decision is going to be based entirely upon who displays the most affection for/obsequiousness toward a piece of fabric. Show me the candidate who simultaneously humps and worships the flag and that's who will get my vote!!
Perhaps relocation to North Korea would be your best course of action.
Not a bad idea-but how do we get all the Democrats to do so? They won't even move to Canada like they promised if Trump won. You may be right though-given the left's love for totalianarism they would likely enjoy their stay.

But only if they're wearing a flag lapel pin, right? We all know that's a vital qualification for president. The conservatives told us so.
Almost overnight the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was in full flower, and Captain Black was enraptured to discover himself spearheading it. He had really hit on something. All the enlisted men and officers on combat duty had to sign a loyalty oath to get their map cases from the intelligence tent, a second loyalty oath to receive their flak suits and parachutes from the parachute tent, a third loyalty oath for Lieutenant Balkington, the motor vehicle officer, to be allowed to ride from the squadron to the airfield in one of the trucks. Every time they turned around there was another loyalty oath to be signed. They signed a loyalty oath to get their pay from the finance officer, to obtain their PX supplies, to have their hair cut by the Italian barbers. To Captain Black, every officer who supported his Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was a competitor, and he planned and plotted twenty-four hours a day to keep one step ahead. He would stand second to none in his devotion to country. When other officers had followed his urging and introduced loyalty oaths of their own, he went them one better by making every son of a ***** who came to his intelligence tent sign two loyalty oaths, then three, then four; then he introduced the pledge of allegiance, and after that “The Star-Spangled Banner,” one chorus, two choruses, three choruses, four choruses. Each time Captain Black forged ahead of his competitors, he swung upon them scornfully for their failure to follow his example. Each time they followed his example, he retreated with concern and racked his brain for some new stratagem that would enable him to turn upon them scornfully again.
Without realizing how it had come about, the combat men in the squadron discovered themselves dominated by the administrators appointed to serve them. They were bullied, insulted, harassed and shoved about all day long by one after the other. When they voiced objection, Captain Black replied that people who were loyal would not mind signing all the loyalty oaths they had to. To anyone who questioned the effectiveness of the loyalty oaths, he replied that people who really did owe allegiance to their country would be proud to pledge it as often as he forced them to. And to anyone who questioned the morality, he replied that “The Star-Spangled Banner” was the greatest piece of music ever composed. The more loyalty oaths a person signed, the more loyal he was; to Captain Black it was as simple as that, and he had Corporal Kolodny sign hundreds with his name each day so that he could always prove he was more loyal than anyone else.
