What is wrong with these people?

[Smokin' Joe]

The same thing with the people who think a Confederate battle flag is "racist".

They don't know our history.

How in the world can we expect Americans to reclaim the Republic when they don't even understand its historical symbols?

[sinanju]

What the hell is wrong with us? This only goes to show that the loudest, most obnoxious, most litigious squeaky wheels get all the grease. Probably a single lib called the town manager to complain. Maybe a muzzie. Maybe a black. Maybe a feminist. Maybe a gay.

Most local politicos and companies are terrified of bad publicity and lawsuits and will genuflect to whoever complains the loudest.

Conservatives and Christians had better get it through their heads that being polite and quiet turn-the-other-cheek only makes it easier to step on our necks.

Nice. I saved that to hard disk.

[max americana]

Excellent. I once saw a Gadsden with Obama’s head complete with snake tongue.

[max americana]

They’re just rotting away due to political correctness. What a shame..

[Brugmansian]

This is the same way many Democrats view the American flag. They see it as a partisan symbol. Nothing new...remember this during Nam.

I have one and a Sons Of Liberty as well. The Gadsden hangs on my front porch, the Sons of Liberty is on my flagpole.

I haven't flow Old Glory since BHO was elected.

Sadly they will be coming down as Wife and I are moving to an apartment. However I'm toying with the idea of a Gadsden and Sons of Liberty painted on the sides of my Durango.

Ooooo! That’s particularly nice.

[Castigar]

I wonder if the residents around the Warren FD could mount a mass protest and fly the Gadsen Flag? It could be pretty cool!

[Eastbound]

If it’s good enough for the U.S. Navy it’s good enough for me.

[Talisker]

If it’s good enough for the U.S. Navy it’s good enough for me.

Exactly right - it should be represented as a current Navy flag, and bureaucrats should be told to shove it.

[Kickass Conservative]

They know that if they complain, the City will back down.

The days of “get over it” are long gone. We are a Nation of children who throw a tantrum when the adults say no.

[Kickass Conservative]

Tyrants know how to turn the Ignorant Masses into Useful Idiots.

[Global2010]

My personal motto is I turn the other cheek, but I have bounderies not to be crossed, that is when the other cheek stops turning.

Rhode Island - bluest of the blue states and one of the most corrupt. No surprise here. They’re pissed that somebody has the cojones to suggest cutting off the gravy train.
