'course we only know the history of the gadsden flag 'cause o' the eeoc kerfuffle. HA! Good Fun! Are you referring to this one? The First Navy Jack? I actually have it up on my wall. no. as we said, it were a minuteman flag. however, is possible we got it backwards as to which came first. am knowing that benjamin franklin is the guy who popularized the notion o' the snake as emblematic o' the American spirit/identity with the "snake divided" image and the "join or die" standard that followed. s'posed spawned numerous snake flags thereafter. gadsden flag does have kewlness in its favor. *shrug* our knowledge o' flags is decidedly post texas v. johnson. HA! Good Fun! ps apologize for removing images, but am doing our part to keep clutter reduced. this is probably the flag Gromnir is referring to: The Culpeper minutemen flag That flag was designed in 1775 - same year as the Gadsen flag, so it's problematic as to which came first ...... no matter, they are both cool ......

Guard Dog Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 That whole thing about the Gaden Flag being racist is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. But it does bring to mind some possibilities. Apparently any symbol worn by racists becomes a de facto racist symbol. Well, I'm not liking that new Florida Panthers logo much. Maybe I'll buy a bunch of Panthers caps and hand them out in the parking lot of the next Klan rally. You know come to that I'm not real crazy about the Buccaneers logo either.... hmmmmm 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just can't help themselves. oh, we believe you is kinda overstating. eeoc ALJ is judges, but they ain't judicial branch. ALJ is executive bureaucrats and they don't have the necessary job security to make rulings w/o being political. sure enough, the eeoc recognized that censoring the gadsden flag would create a p00p storm o' epic proportions... and would be monumental stoopid. if eeoc found in favor o' censoring, the case would eventual get before a federal appeals judge who would then chastise the eeoc in blistering fashion. even so, the eeoc attempted to be diplomatic with their ruling... which is bad. don't wanna offend is a concern for politicians but not judges. is one o' the many inherent flaws in having executive ALJ.
