This board has traditionally been conservative in terms of political discussions. However, being as the events of the last seven years or so have illustrated reality's liberal bias, we've seen a marked diminishment of support for the conservative arguments in many threads, with only a handful of stalwart holdouts still supporting the conservative line.
In relation to the question at hand, I speak for myself when saying I don't tend to spend much time on ephemera such as cartoons and flag pins. There are more serious issues that deserve attention, and the majority of folks who don't hold a position tend to view such quixotic attempts as a representation of the unseriousness of a poster. Further, spending time on dumb issues dilutes the larger political discussion, and tends to create enough confusion and argument that undecided folks tend to get frustrated and decide not to be involved.
