The unveiling of a new Florida license plate by Governor DeSantis has liberals and leftist organizations up in arms.
Liberals are constantly willfully misinterpreting traditional American and patriotic flags and symbols to try to associate them with “right wing extremism.” One such victim of this misinterpretation is the iconic Gadsden Flag.
This iconic flag dates back to the time of the revolution and has been seen as a symbol of freedom, defiance in the face of oppression, and American patriotism ever since.
Now, Governor Ron DeSantis has released a new Florida license plate which prominently features the Gadsden flag design:
First teased at the end of July, the plate design has acquired considerable flak from liberal outlets and institutions such as NPR and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The flag was first designed for the U.S. Navy in 1775 by Colonel Christopher Gadsden.
Gadsden took inspiration from pro-American imagery created by Benjamin Franklin, who was the first to use a rattlesnake to symbolize the 13 colonies.
The flag was intended to symbolize defiance of the British crown’s tyranny, and features a rattlesnake rising against a metaphorical treading boot.
NPR, however, willfully ignores that in their hysterical response....

I don’t do specialty plates or vanity, but I might make an exception here.

I could be wrong, but I think that’s an option for vanity plates in TN.
i can’t find where to preorder this tag
Interesting...
Virginia already has a “Don’t Tread on Me” license plate.
God Bless the Culpepper Virginia Volunteers
...trod upon.
We have a plate equally offensive to libtards :
In God We Trust
He should release one for the libbies with a dog pile on it that says “Tread On Me.”
LOL
Erasing history.
Just what islamonazis and commies do.
Way back in 1970, I had a professor who objected to California's state flag, which is based on the "Bear Flag" of the short-lived California Republic. He claimed that the flag is "racist," and it is said that because of his objections, it was never flown over the campus (and still isn't). This professor was a renowned historian who had published several books on California history.
I'm surprised that woke leftists still haven't taken aim at our state flag--and I hope no wokesters are reading this post, lest they get ideas.
Liberals trying to associate a symbol with January 6th when it’s been around since the late 1700’s. SMFH!!!
Liberals are always furious about something... but sadly not furious enough to commit mass suicide.
We sure do and it’s a nice one!
I’d like to see a plate with a picture of the Boston Tea Party and with “December 16, 1773 America’s First Insurrection” printed on it.
They truly worry about DeSantis, (Yale then Harvard Law, Naval Officer and Bronze Star awardee, articulate and accomplished, and diplomatic yet sincerely unafraid to be a Traditional American.)
BTW, I'll wager that some other states introduce very fine variations on Florida's patriotic license plate theme.

They are always furious. Who cares?
They will as soon as the Constitution is destroyed.
