Title: My Gadsden Flag
Post by: alfsauve on August 13, 2009, 08:41:40 PM
Okay, this is a little play on history.

Here is "my" Gadsden flag.

Yes, I own a PPK/s manufactured in Gadsden.
And before someone thinks I don't realize where the real Gadsden flag comes from it's named after a revolutionary war hero, Col. Gadsden.

Could have been.   According to the history he operated in SC.   I'll check.

Ah, got it.

The town was named for JAMES Gadsden, grandson of Christopher for whom the flag is named.

Click "quote" and you will see it says "Glock".
I assume that is because either Eric is prejudiced against "lowland " Germans, or else he supports the "Austrin" school of economics.
Of course it COULD just be that he is a peckerhead.  ;D

It's alright, but you missed the point.   You can't put a Glock on the Gadsden flag.   You could superimpose one on the Smyrna city flag. (It even says so in your picture)    I'd post a picture, but I can't find one for you.

With 9/11 coming up, I can't decide if I should swap my stars and bars (already flying) for my Gadsden. Any thoughts? Will Homeland Security come knocking, if I fly the snake?

If they haven't come knocking over your membership here, I think you should be safe.   ;D

I flew the Snake on the 4th of July...Eric Holder crew didn't come knocking.  I sent in a letter to the editor critical of The chosen one's health care plan so far no FBI...I think you should be safe

I love the Gasdsen Flag, it says it all. Though, I would caution you Fuzz (and anyone else who lives ABOVE the Mason Dixon line) that if you fly the stars and bars, folks might legitimately impute another reason to it beyond merely heritage. Fair or not, when you use a symbol, understand that others are just as entitled to interpret it as you are. You're sending a message, and folks will recieve it as they will. Take Columbus Day. We see it as the discovery of the New World. Italian Americans see it as honoring a great Italian. Latin Americans see it as the Dia de la Raza, the creation the race. Native Americans see it as the celebration of 500 years of genocide and disspossesion. They're all right. The Gasden however, allows for only one interpretation, simple, clean and to the point. Its a summary of he Declaration. I'll stick with that one.

I doubt too many Californians know what the Mason Dixon line is. And if I'm flying anything other than red, white and blue, I may be in trouble here, unless I fly a rainbow or the flag of Mexico. I remember every demographic (other than Van Jones and his lot) being pretty pissed across this Country on 9/11/2001. How they've all forgotten.:(  Would those who've chosen to forget allow another attack? Or maybe a Mumbai style attack in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, etc.?

I'm putting up the snake - even if it is next to the stars and bars!
