"Don't tread on me" flag. Is there any objectionable connotation to it? (as with Confederate flag)

I don't think most people would pay any attention to it, unless you lived in a very well educated and self-aware area like DC.

Fixed it for you.

It's just that you don't get to decide for everyone else that they should believe what you believe.

Actually, I'm totally comfortable making just those sort of judgements. I'm educated, politically savvy, and a believer in social justice. I can identify racism when I see it, even when racists are hiding behind cover and excuses.

Bottom line, I'm EXACTLY the person qualified to be able to tell others what they should believe, especially if they're too stupid to arrive at the right conclusion themselves.

And smug too! (Never forget how smug you are, sweetie!).

LOL! That's some damn good sarcasm right there.

Oh. You were PP. God help us...I didn't realize anyone was that arrogant.

Well said.
Or, you could come on an anonymous board and participate in some group think. That seems to be the option of way too many today.

It's one of the associations. I like it.

I have a nice impression of the people with those license plates. To me, they signal a person who cares about our country and doesn't want to see people's rights trampled by an aloof, uncaring bureaucracy.

That's what I associate the flag with, not the tea party or as the new confederate flag.

+1 But simple minded folks won't understand that.

OK. But, you are wrong

Nope. You don't get to rewrite the history of the flag.

For being so educated and politically savvy, you are pretty damn ignorant. Read up. It is not racist. Also, get over yourself.

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

The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the rattlesnake are the words "DONT TREAD ON ME". The flag is named after American general and politician Christopher Gadsden (1724–1805), who designed it in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag, along with the Moultrie flag.

Only because you say it is.

No, because racists co-opted it. You can't save it just because you don't mean it that way, any more than you can rehabilitate Pepe the Frog or swastikas.

It has become associated with racists in the last decade or two. Try to keep up.

It's also on the Va State flag, in latin, I believe. It's been co-opted.

'Sense of Humor' = I don't like being accountable for the BS that comes out of my mouth that I've been able to say in the past without reprisal. You don't have an inalienable right to be an @ss, you're learning what it's like to be the rest of us.

You can't even spell "judgments," so I highly doubt you're educated, savy, etc.

So you know that people displaying this flag are racist?

So besides being an arrogant prick, you can also read minds. Have you ever thought that the flag may be interpreted differently by different people?

And you don't either. They can believe whatever they want.

But don't think that the views on DCUM or their little liberal enclave is representative of most Americans.

No it hasn't. You can keep claiming that but you're just proving yourself a liar.
