Intimidation Goes On Against Americans
Dr. Archie Jones reports that a friend of his from Louisiana was stopped and detained for the bumper sticker on his car, “Don’t Tread On Me.” Of course, this started, Jones says, with the Missouri State Police being put on guard against “extremists”, or supporters of Bob Barr, Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin. The Louisiana police did a background check on the driver to see if he were a member of an “extremist” group.
Dr. Jones gave a brief description of the “famous flag designed by American Revolution era general and statesman Christopher Gadsden“…and Benjamin Franklin made it the “a symbol of Americans’ reluctance to quarrel but vigilance and resolve in defense of their rights.” According to Founding Fathers, Franklin wrote “”the Rattle-Snake is found in no other quarter of the world besides America…She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders.”
This intimidation has been ongoing throughout the campaign, and is an obvious infringement of the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Obviously, this a patriotic flag from the early years of our country, and why it’s being connected to those who disagree with the “far left” agenda is very revealing of their (the left’s) tyrannical objectives.
