Before we get to the subject at hand, the second half of the headline says everything you need to know about the Democrat Party: manufactured controversy and tons of hypocrisy. Toss in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and pretty much anything to do with the Sunshine State and we’re talking histrionic meltdown.
The “controversy” began on July 30 when DeSantis announced Florida’s new Gadsden flag license plate, which features the familiar “Don’t Tread on Me” declaration with a curled rattlesnake on a yellow background. According to the governor’s office, as reported by the NBC New affiliate in Tampa, proceeds from the optional plate will benefit Florida veterans in need.
I love it. I looked at the sample in the article and I would love to have a license plate like that! ! I imagine it will become the most popular plate around.

I'm betting that the "optional" license plate will be displayed on about 75% of the vehicles in Florida by 2024.

The FBI will put you on a "militia violent extremist" list for that tag.
I like it.

Yes! We used to fly the Gadsden flag on our sailboat. Currently, we have the Florida Gators plate….I think we need the new one.

As retired Navy, I have that very flag located by my front door in Texas. It is not only the Gadsden flag but the very first US Navy jack flag..I fly it with pride.

Ooooh, so according to the Feebies, anyone sporting a Gasden license plate is now a terrorist....too bad Indiana doesn't have that one available....although they do have one for the NRA....

We frequently fly the Gadsden flag on our front porch and my son in law has those tags on his car - you can get them as vanity plates in Virginia.

If I could afford, I'd move to Florida just to get the plate.

A year and a half ago I bought two full size Gadsden flags, gave one to my best friend, and tacked the other on my bedroom wall. Being an amateur herpetologist since early childhood with a particular fascination for rattlesnakes, the Revolutionary War era Gadsden flag is a piece of Americana that I like seeing. I'm a patriotic American, a traditionalist and evangelical Christian who believes what's in the Book. That's as far away from a terrorist as one could ever be, unless up is redefined as down and evil is redefined as virtue.

IMHO...'veterans in need' is an excellent cause.
So many of those traditional flag/designs are of historical interest--unless you fancy yourself to be Mad King George III.
Ben franklin designed 'join or die'. As for betsy ross, how can she inspire horror in anybody who eschews mad misogyny?

L-dotters, recognize all this leftist Media condemnation and hatred (for anything that they do not support) for what it is.... a campaign of BULLYING.
Take the 'transgender' issue. Anyone who does not SAY that they agree and support the so-called 'trans' movement is labelled a 'Transphobe', a 'Homophobe', a Bigot, etc., etc., etc..... and ALL of the Leftist media is on this bandwagon. They picked a sexual topic as 'sex sells'. But what they are really doing is trying to BULLY people into SAYING that they believe something that they KNOW is FALSE.
If they can bully people into SAYING that a Male can be a Female, and a Female can be a Male, then they can bully people into ANYTHING.
It seems to me that a long time ago in a place a long way away, the Government and the Media joined together and convinced most of the people in their country that a certain group of people that also lived in that country and surrounding countries were evil, based on their ethnicity and religion, and that those people should be eliminated.
It took several years and the combined effort of most of the people of the world -including my Dad- to straighten that matter out and put it right.
Oh, and long time ago was about 80 years ago, and a long way away was several thousand miles away, over in the middle of Europe, somewhere between France and Poland.
Let us stand up, resist, and do our best to Stop the Bullying before it gets out of hand....again!

Historical note: The Gadsden flag was involved in slavery, but not in the way they think. It was flown on the US Navy ships involved in suppressing the slave trade.
