Coach is Right ^ | 4/23/13 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Democrats love to flex their political muscles in the faces of anyone, but they take special pleasure in rubbing the noses of conservatives in the dirt. They are nasty lowlifes after all.

Recently the Democrats of the City Council of New Rochelle New York, a Big Apple bedroom community, decided that the United Veterans Memorial & Patriotic Association could not fly a Gadsden flag (known more widely as the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag) in front of the town’s armory. One of the five skunks who voted to take this action cried that the flag which is a symbol of pride to actual patriotic Americans was “offensive” to him.

In a surprisingly hateful and stupid display, even for a liberal Democrat, Council member Barry Fertel likened the Gadsden flag to...

We’ve always said here... once the 2nd Amendment goes by the wayside as it largely has in NY... so go the others.

I have a Gadsden flag hanging in my window most visible from the highest traffic street by my house. We have several others prominently displayed in our neighborhood. When TSHTF, I know which neighbors we can count on.

You have the right to pursue happiness. You do NOT have the right NOT to be offended, you POS.

Maybe someone should fashion a flag with the Obama logo and the phrase “I WILL tread on YOU”.

Or maybe logo in upper left corner with 13 white and black stripes.

I have been flying this since Nov. 6th.

So far no one has even asked me about it. I'll have to put up a Gadsden Flag too.

It all goes back to voting. At this point in time we have lost that fight because the slaves now outnumber those who wish to be free. And the direction the indoctrination system is going, I see no change for the better. The Commasars of the 30s,40s,and 50s Russia must be green now with envy. just like the “gun control” lasw, there is no way they can be obeyed, in fact, they do not want them obeyed. Their purpose is to turn ordinary law abiding Citizens into criminals in order for the full might of the State to fall upon them.

Laws are to protect, not to punish or exact revenge. City councils are the worst
about whimsical punishment towards anything they deem offensive.

To whom does this protect? Nobody, it only serves as revenge in some twisted
illogical way. Those councilmembers remind me of a man in Kentucky who was
running for a small town city council where I was living at the time. Nobody truly
vetted the guy so nobody really knew what he was about until I had a conversation
with him in the local Veterans hall. He turned out to be a land grabbing big government
lackey who knew better how riverfront property should be used. With zero experience
in land development or management. He lost by 20% to everyone else.

When liberals are given power, laws they don’t like such as “theft under color of law” mean nothing. Gleefully adding insult and illegality to their fiat the Council not only ordered the flag be taken down, it ordered that it be confiscated.

Before voting to order the flag be taken down each of the five liberal Democrats took a turn attacking the flag as a “symbol of the TEA Party.”

Drunk with the power of their 5 to 2 majority, the abuse of logic and patriotism continued with member Brian Sussman a local Democrat Party District Leader likened the flag to the Nazi’s swastika, a Mickey Mouse flag and finally to simple graffiti. Words cannot accurately describe the level of contempt people like this deserve. It is truly a disturbing example of what America has become under the psychopathic rule of the vicious Left.

If there is any good news in this story it is that the Thomas More Law Center, which is representing the veterans, is confident it can beat these thugs in court and get this ruling overturned.

I’m guessing the liberal half-wits have no idea what the Bonny Blue Flag stands for.
