“This is the United States of America, not some banana republic. What’s the problem with wearing the flag?” Concannon said.

The problem is not America - The candidate just happens to reside in a left wing State filled with Obamabots and America haters. My advice is do not run and move to Texas and live free
I'm sorry, I missed the memo stating which party the flag represented. Must be either the Constitutionalists, or the Libertarians. It certainly doesn't represent the GOP or Democrats!
I hope he wears it while sipping from a 32 ounce Big Gulp...and holding a salt shaker.
Then, just don't take his picture! I wouldn't buckle!
I can see this happening to military uniforms in the future. They're already talking about making it optional to swear an oath using God's name.
