Take heed from someone with experience. Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 668559 ![]() 06/27/2009 01:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry but I guess I postesd it wrong... Tyranny has been going on and enough is enough. I hope others follow suit hanging their us flags upside down. I would like to find the flag. 'Give me Liberty. Don't Tread on me' Quoting: BowhuntressGadsden is what I'll be flying on the 4th. I'm glad to see this thread, it makes me feel like I won't be the only one. In December 1775, "An American Guesser" anonymously wrote to the Pennsylvania Journal: "I observed on one of the drums belonging to the marines now raising, there was painted a Rattle-Snake, with this modest motto under it, 'Don't tread on me.' As I know it is the custom to have some device on the arms of every country, I supposed this may have been intended for the arms of America." This anonymous writer, having "nothing to do with public affairs" and "in order to divert an idle hour," speculated on why a snake might be chosen as a symbol for America. First, it occurred to him that "the Rattle-Snake is found in no other quarter of the world besides America." The rattlesnake also has sharp eyes, and "may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance." Furthermore, "She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her." Finally, "I confess I was wholly at a loss what to make of the rattles, 'till I went back and counted them and found them just thirteen, exactly the number of the Colonies united in America; and I recollected too that this was the only part of the Snake which increased in numbers. ... "'Tis curious and amazing to observe how distinct and independent of each other the rattles of this animal are, and yet how firmly they are united together, so as never to be separated but by breaking them to pieces. One of those rattles singly, is incapable of producing sound, but the ringing of thirteen together, is sufficient to alarm the boldest man living." Many scholars now agree that this "American Guesser" was Benjamin Franklin. |

Fly the flag upside down: universal distress signal indicating Congress has been subverted by the Oligarchy. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 539454Yeah it is too bad the South lost. The war was fought over State's rights. The South wanted more power on the state level with a weak central government, as our Constitution intended. The issue of slavery was not brought in until Lincoln found himself losing the war and the population up North wanting out. He therefore used the issue of slavery to drum up continued support for the war, as a moral crusade. Slavery however would have died out on its own, as it did in other countries of the world. General Lee was firmly opposed to slavery. He felt duty however to his State of Virginia, moreso than to the Federal Govt. |

Quoting: AndromedaSo long as there are men and women in service in a foreign war, it's demoralizing and disrespectful of what they are sacrificing, to use the flag for symbol of failure. There are going to be some people who don't get what you are trying to say. And they might not take kindly to it. Its only disrespective if you don't know the laws of your nation, which, of course, is disrespectful of teh , at least, the million soldiers who have died. The soldiers today WEAR THE FLAG BACKWARDS !! |

" Quoting: Anonymous Coward 558159I was thinking along those lines. Many people will just come up with their own conclusion as to why someone may fly a flag upside down. Better to explain it and remove doubt. |
