We are on a roll. The great resurgence of American patriotism fueled by the Tea Party revolt made its voice heard this November 2nd. Not only did the corrupt Democrat Congress suffer a big reversal, but more importantly, Republicans won the largest majority of state houses they have had since 1928, and made a net gain of ten governorships, now holding a majority of 29 to 18....you may soon be able to express your defiance with a Gadsden Flag license plate. As reported first by Right Side News in October, the original idea was the brainchild of Virginia Tea Party group 912 Richmond.....and now is spreading national..

+1 and I will get the plates when they are available even as ironic as it is.....
Gadsden Ping!
Plus the Irony of being on a “watch List’ because you are viewed as “Subversive” by the federal government.
A buddy of mine gave me a 15’ X 15’ cloth Gadsden Flag which is proudly displayed in the rear window of my car.

Can you imagine Sam Adams paying the governor of Mass a few shillings for a button to pin on his tri-corner hat to protest King George?
The appropriate analogy would be throwing your license plates into Boston Harbor.
Has it occurred to anyone these plates might make your vehivle a target of a very large group of nut-jobs? Better find a safe place to park your vehicle!
tinfoil version...voluntarily assigning oneself to a new ‘list’...and paying for the ‘priveledge’...
Prohibited in Missouri as ordered by the St. Louis County Attorney < / sarc >

Glad to hear it. Just curious, have you experienced any vandalism (or attempts?)
I'm planning to soon have a flag pole errected in the front yard, just so I can keep the Gadsen flag out of reach of the leftist scum.
Oooooopsie. Typo-rama. Obviously, I meant 15” X 15”. Good eye, Gilbo_3!
Alright! Texas is almost on board. Sign me up!
“We intellectually OWN the Stars & Stripes. What idiot would suggest giving that ownership up?”
Where did you read that anyone was?
hehehe...in fairness you could be drivin the ultimate tailgate party mobilehome...being a ND fan and all...8^}
I appreciate the message of the Gadsden. But it’s use has been used by the left to portray the Tea Party as somehow anti-patriotic. And there are just enough dumb people in this country to believe that.
I don’t see what can be gained from using it, other than it might make you feel a little better to express your anger.
We have complete intellectual ownership of the Stars & Stripes. We need to nurture and appreciate that ownership, not divide it to something else.
That and a license plate conveys more commitment to the cause you're supporting than a bumper sticker and hence carries more weight in public.
A flag is something to gather around. Since both sides of this country use the US flag, the Gadsden flag represents the struggles of our side. It means in no way that the Stars & Bars are something less than they are. They are typically flown together anyway.
