1. Why are their 2 flags?

Why not?

I think the use of the US flag is way overdone not only on Stephen Colbert's stuff, but in general. The US flag as such is a symbol.   I have no idea what Colbert is using the flag to symbolize.  It's pretty much like having flags at mosh pits.  The US flag and moshpits go together like pickles mixed with cola drinks.   And politicians and pundits who wear those flag lapels are essentially like wearing a fresh pickle on their jacket.

I don't disagree, but I think in some cases it's OK. It shows interest in the country. In this case, it probably just means that he's talking about the election, but I'm not a regular viewer of Colbert. Does he show the flag for every show?

I think the national anthem is overdone. I don't know why we have to hear it before every ballgame. Bravo to Colin. I wrote new words to the national anthem btw, and have gotten good reviews for it. And also "God Bless America" is a rather kooky song. And politicians saying "and God Bless the United States of America" after every speech is over-the-top. Why should God's blessings stop at the border, and how can a politician order God to bless only an area inside a man-made border?

Bill Maher says he can't run for office like his fellow TV star partly because atheists have the lowest rating in opinion polls. It's politics.
