He should wear a pin to work with the pictures of Washington and Jefferson on it.
Just ordered one of these flags for the front yard.
Yep, better get ‘em while you can. Look for Amazon and Ebay to no longer allow them to be sold on their websites.
The Gadsden flag represents nothing more than a contempt for central authority, and a symbol of independence from same. That is what it was originally, that is what it is now. The only things that have changed are:
1) The original central authority that it was aimed at was the British government and King George, whereas the present display of that flag are now aimed at our overbearing, interfering, power-usurping federal government - the one that no longer represents us, as England no longer represented us as of no later than 1776; and
2) Now there are a bunch of ill-educated, benefit-seeking, moronic special snowflakes that couldn’t find their asses with two hands, and who wouldn’t know actual history if it ran them over.
“In a truly racist, harassing environment the complainant would be found dead in a ditch.”
These snowflakes, these pussies (to quote Clint Eastwood), don’t know what real hardship is, nor do they truly understand what it is that their ancestors went through. To them, a hangnail is cause for missing a week of work and calling one’s lawyer.
Heaven help this country.
Why does equal always mean create a protected class with extra rights for certain people? It’s like they’ve never looked at a dictionary before.
On the same grounds, the US Constitution is racist (2/3rds count) and the image of the Minuteman is racist (they were all white). The complainant is seeking to declare all non-left THOUGHT an indicator of a hostile workplace. I wonder if this workplace is the IRS? Dangerous to have someone working there who is not a true-believer!
I reckon said complaintant has no problems with the congressional black caucus... a racist group if there ever was one.
As the late, great Bob Grant used to say, “It’s sick out there, and getting sicker”.
The EEOC is yet another department which should be shut down completely.
The NLRB and EEOC double each other’s duties.
Coonskin hats are OK?
Translation: We're doing all we can to ban it, but we can't find a justifiable reason to ban it yet.
Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... they haven't thought of that one yet.
Actually, my error it is 3/5ths count, not 2/3rds count in the original Article I, section 2, clause 3. And as all good FReepers know, it was to prevent Southern Slaveholders from getting greater representation in the US House by counting their non-voting, non-citizen slave populations as equal to the populace of the non-slave states.
Few people know that there were white slaves too. Some of them were owned by Blacks.
I love it,
By the way, if timing was anything, the US Navy just announced its newest uniform with “Don’t Tread on Me” as a background flag option on the uniform.
Way to go US Navy...

They would prefer a hammer and sickle.
