Beware of little old ladies, they will call you a "motherfucking commie pinko" and hit you in the nuts with their cane. Take heed from someone with experience.

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: Bowhuntress


Gadsden 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.

GREAT IDEA.

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

There is nothing against the law iby hanging the flag upside down. You might be surprised if people ask why and might start a trend in your neighborhood. Believe it or not but you probably have other neighbors that feel the way you do but don't know how to express it bump bump bump

Might as well use the flag to wipe your a** now days-it's no longer a sign of a free country, but an elitest Satanic dictatorship which has assumed and presumed power over you.

flying a flag upside down does not mean you hate this country, it does not mean you are ashamed of this country, it does not mean you are anti-american.
quite the contrary.
it simply means our country is in DISTRESS.
and we are worried

Yeah 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.

Why fly the US flag at all ?

It's like flying the Confederate flag... what's the point...
it represents something that's deader than a doornail.

Re: On July 4th my US Flag will be flying upside down!
I wouldn't if I were you.

So 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.
 Quoting: Andromeda


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.

You won't see anyone hanging any flags upside down, you fucking lemmings will go to the park and watch the fireworks, sing Lee Greenwood songs and masturbate to NASCAR.

Don't do it.

If you fly the flag, fly it in support of everyone who is working FOR our country.

If you want to make a statement, do what I do; fly

I 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.

i wouldn't do that, because you are mocking americas history as well, which is something to remain proud about. Just because obama and liberals are ruining the country now, doesn't mean that the democrat party was always shameful, it just started about 60 years ago.

Fly the Gadsden flag or none. If you do fly the flag upside down please have your hose or a bucket of water ready as I will more than likely burn your house down but leave your flag flying intact-right side up!:)
