DJ, You make a good point about the flag pin and I do agree.
To some, it means a great deal and says something about the person/canidate. The fish means much to some Christians.
I feel both are ways for people to idenify themselves to their tribe.
They are tribal symbols that bond people in the world which they might feel is frightening.
I believe it is for a feeling of safety that people put so much emphasis on these symbols.
But that is only my observation, and my opinion.
