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....

If the enemy hates it,...it is good!!!
A stroke of genius! Other red states must issue Gadsden Flag license plates too. Tout de suite

About ten states issue them already.
At this rate that won’t be too far off.
Yes, seriously…
LOL!
Looks kinda Biblical to me...
For our new TN plates that came out in Jan the drivers get to choose whether they want the words In God we trust added
We had it on all of them before
LOL
Its the dove from the Arc
I wonder if he realizes that ???
Liberals are furious over waking up. How can one live life being upset over everything?
Texas has Gadsden AND Goliad designs for plates. I’ve considered it, but they want too much money for them.
When Liberals go to prison they can make these plates.
Gotta love this guy.
Was he a Vietnam draft dodger? These guys always like to pretend they refused to fight because they are against war.
The truth is they refused to fight because they are cowards, but because they don't want people to think they are cowards, they claim they didn't fight because of their "principles."
When will Greg Abbott do the same?
I just might have to drive out to Florida and get my truck registered there…
