I am sick and tired of this teabagger shit....

[Saphire]

THIS is NOT an American flag a$$holes...


THIS is NOT an American flag either...


THIS is the American flag


THIS is the American flag motherf*ckers....not this crap you carry around so proudly with all the rest of your patriotic garb. By carrying around these pieces of shit and spouting your RW rhetoric about taking "YOUR" country back you manage to spit on every real patriot that fought and died for YOUR right to do just that!!!!!

I am a direct decendent of Capt. Johann Kopenhoffer and his wife, Katherine. Both were honored for thier service during the Revolution and I am a member of the DAR. It pisses me off that you think anything you shout from your basement is anywhere near their sacrifices. YOU CAN KISS MY ASS!!!

I pledge allegiance to THE flag of the United States of America,
And to the Republic for which IT stands.
One Nation (under God, if we must)
with Liberty and Justice for ALL!!!!!!!

1. Nothing wrong with the Don't Tread On Me flag.

Just pisses me off that the Tealiban have co-opted it.

[Ikonoklast]

23. One of the very first flags to fly over this nation.

History of the Gadsden Flag:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag

It pre-dates the Stars and Stripes.


I fly the Gadsden Flag in honor of those that died fighting the tyranny of kings, and in support of the duly-elected government and officers of the United States, in the fight against enemies, both foreign and domestic, that would seek to do it harm.


Those that usurped it to support their insane rantings have no clue as to its history.

If they think it is a symbol of revolt instead of unity, they are fools.

"Join, Or Die" doesn't mean what they think it does.

2. Get used to it, or take a coping class, It's gonna get ALOT worse

when the immigration debate starts in earnest.

[customerserviceguy]

28. Agreed

It will be interesting to see if President Obama uses his last little bit of political capital to fight for jobs, or to fight for noncitizens.

3. nice post, Saphire. Am impressed with your DAR credentials, they are hard to come by

as time goes by. I had a friend who was DAR, she passed away several years ago.

[whatsthebuzz]

4. Same here

My great-aunt was a member of the DAR as well. She was a former teacher and VERY smart with regard to American history.

19. another trolling hit and run post....alert & ignore

7. A bunch of us were floating The Snake River in Idaho last summer.

We came around a bend and there was an idiot with a big American flag on the back of his boat. The boat was beached and the flag was in the water.
We got on him about it. Told him stuff like any boy scout would know not to let that happen. He didn't dare say much but he was pissed about us giving him crap in front of his family.

[Saphire]

9. Exactly...where do they get off thinking they have exclusive rights to

OUR flag. It belongs to all Americans including us. I respect our flag and our country. They are the one that will have to just deal with it.

[brewens]

13. I don't think our flag should be used for anything other than being

a flag or maybe insignia on uniforms. All the commercial crap and clothing made to look like a flag is B.S. I might not support outlawing it but I don't like it.

[RKP5637]

16. They think they own the flag, the country and us, and would all like to be RW dictators. n/t

[Uben]

8. Doesn't bother me at all

In fact, I don't let anything these cretons do bother me...they're not worth it. I just laugh at their stupidity. They continue to give us ammo against them for the coming elections. The VAST majority of Americans are just law abiding citizens who really don't give a shit about activists antics and just want to be able to work and provide for their families. The tea naggers are just the activist side of the republican party.....notice no other republican groups are actively protesting the tea naggers. Let em bitch...it's their right to do so.

Elections are what matter. We should be focusing everything on the elections this fall.

14. So was Washington and Jefferson

Your point?

[Saphire]

15. yes, he was. However, I currently own no slaves.

[Codeine]

25. . . .

:spray:

[realisticphish]

11. what's the second flag

I like the 13 star flag, but 11? Or am i misreading it?

[Saphire]

17. It's their Revolution #2 flag.

[realisticphish]

30. ah. yeah.

chalk that up under "crazy"

[JonLP24]

12. Actually that doesn't bother me

There are plenty of other things they do that bother me but this isn't one of them.

In angers me when the right wing brings up those who died to defend the right of free speech when we spoke out against Bush and his invasion of Iraq so I won't join you there.

Also I kind of like this flag myself.

[arcadian]

18. What's the second one?

I haven't seen that one.

[YOY]

21. Their 2nd Revolution one.

As if less than 1% are going to force a revolution on us. Of course if they even got any ground there would be enough public backlash to slap them away. They invision a country with a set of rules most akin to Somalia.

[arcadian]

22. One of my FB "friends" said yesterday

"The country was founded by right-wing extremists!" He's a jerk.

[Bitwit1234]

20. I have an idea

Some lovely intelligent person on here called Palin Quiterella. Or spelled something like that. Well lets all post that Palin is Quiterella the head of the tea gags. And post it everywhere we can. If we put up enough posts on the net it will finally become the number one description of Palin and everybody will know what a gag object she is. That is if the person doesn't mind. that we use Quiterella. And goodness knows just looking at her makes you gag.

[progressoid]

24. Oh Christ. Now WE are the big patriotic defenders of the flag?

I don't agree with a thing the baggers have to say, but if they want to wrap themselves in toilet paper and pout on the capital steps, let them.

Frankly, this statement, "you manage to spit on every real patriot that fought and died for YOUR right to do just that!!!!!" sounds like it could have been written on any RW website about liberals protesting a few years ago.

[leftstreet]

26. +1

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Hallelujah! Holy shit! ........Where's the Tylenol?

all kidding aside - excellent rant. Spot on.

[Xenotime]

29. The flag needs to be redesigned anyway.

It represents suppression and slavery for some. It doesn't mean what this country is today.
