I’m glad that the media picked this up, but...what about all the other “fusion center” reports? Do they also associate conservatives, constitutionalists and libertarians with domestic terrorists?
Well, I sent the original story on the Highway Patrol guidelines to my PA cousin, who is a retired senior VP of a Fortune 100 company and a die-hard traditional Republican.
He emailed me back saying, "Damn! The can put me on that terrorist list! I own and display a Gasden flag and I'm on the PA state board of the NRA. Maybe instead they ought to send whoever wrote this to school and give them a history lesson, then they'd know that the Gasden flag was the first American Flag carried into battle by Col. Henry Gadsden of South Carolina. The rattle snake insignia was first designed by Ben Franklin it decorated the military drums and appeared on the brass buttons of the navy and marine uniforms--Gadsden designed the flag and it became the flag of the U.S. Navy and Marines. -- Ah, forget it, they don't even teach that kind of American hisory in school, anymore!"
You see, they don't want us to remember our Revolutionary history and for a very good reason -- they don't want another Revolution!
