[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband is right in that "don't tread on me" used to be about individual rights and freedoms, but now it means "i am a racist who likes guns".[/quote] "Don't tread on me" used to be about "hey England don't pick a fight with the colonies because we will stick together and fight back we see ourselves as Americans now not English subjects." It was NOT about being individuals, it was about all the colonies (now states) working together--if you step on any segment of the snake, it will bite. "If we don't hang together, we shall certainly hang separately." Etc etc. The colonies worked together to fight the British and then to form a successful federal government, a project that was complicated by "state's rights," namely, how to apportion slaves in Congressional representation and the federal role in regulating slavery (interstate commerce). All the people flying that flag because they are libertarians are dumdums. [/quote]
