So now what do I do with my Gadsden flag?
My husband bought it for me for Christmas in the dark days of Bushco.

I don't dare fly it now, lest I be seen as a teabagger.

Should I hold on to it? In case I "need" it in the future?

:shrug:

1. They can't steal history. Fly it.

2. They misuse the Stars and Stripes too...
I would hold onto it and use it appropriately when the right time comes.

3. Fly it proudly, they don't own it
Definitely hold onto it, you're gonna need it in the future. The not too distant future I'm afraid.

The people who have taken that flag over are in for a rude awakening it the repubs take over congress.

They'll see "big government" beyond their worst nightmares.

4. This aberration of a politcal movement will die, eventually. Keep it.
It's true reason and sentiments will outlast the Teabaggers.

5. Raise it up. It doesn't belong to you or them.
It's bigger then that.

6. Its funny, I saw a sticker of one this morning
on a car, and I thought "that used to be perfectly good during the Reagan administration, damn those bastards for taking it."

7. I regularly see car Gadsden stickers now alongside "Obama Sucks", etc.
It make it real hard for me to look at it anymore. It really hurts!

:mad:

8. maybe that is what every democrat ought to do
go get a Gadsden sticker and put it right next to an Obama sticker on their car. That would probably drive the idiots nuts.

9. I took mine down long ago
as it was my protest flag during the Bush years. I have furled the colors and taken down my flag pole completely.
