Gadsden Flag Going Viral on Facebook.

[idiom]

isnt that vandalism?

Stick to defacing Government buildings. Its your property so it can't be vandalism.

Do this to capitol buildings.

Yah I think I'll use it as my profile image since it's the newest fad

I'm glad it's catching on. The Gadsden flag has been my fave for roughly 5 years and counting.

I've had a miniature Gadsen flag on my cubicle wall for nearly 6 years now. Only 1 negative comment...from some idiot who thought it was form the Confederacy. (I didn't tell him that I'd fly the battle flag too if I didn't think it'd get me fired)

 

[StudentForPaul08]

I got a nice Gadsden Flag button I put on my schoolbag. I really want a big flag of it too. haha.

This is ridiculous... are they saying George Washington was a terrorist by name now?

FEMA training LEO's - video - AJ has it on one of his films with them speaking directly about our founding fathers as being terrorists. I've seen it. Its on youtube somewhere.

Time to take a visit downtown to Lodge Alley and the Liberty Tree (now only a marker in place) and make my own pledge?

from The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina


It was from Lodge Alley that Charlestonians openly defied the British government in the early days before the Revolutionary War. On November 7, 1777, as a means of protesting the harsh treatment shown to Boston, Charleston’s Sons of Liberty Boys met in the Masonic Lodge-Room in Lodge Alley and constructed a “rolling stage” or parade float. Upon it effigies of the Pope, the Devil, Lord North, and Governor Thomas Hutchinson of Massachusetts and floated it in the Bay

The Sons of Liberty also meet here and under a live oak tree in the pasture of Mr. Mazyck’s property, which they named on October 1,1768, “The Liberty Tree.” Under this tree Christopher Gadsden first advocated colonial independence in 1766, and where 10 years later the Declaration of Independence was first heard and applauded by South Carolinians. Gadsden and his fellow revolutionaries, who led public meetings protested the British Stamp Act and later the Tea Tax.


The list of people at the meeting at the Liberty Tree, in 1766, was drawn up by George Flagg, also these meetings at the Liberty Tree were public meetings and continued as such during the Revolutionary period. In the South Carolina Gazette the following was published about a meeting held by the “Club 45” members.

About 5 o’clock they all removed to a most noble “LIVE OAK” tree, in Mr. Mazyk’s pasture, which they formally dedicated to LIBERTY, where many loyal, patriotic, and constitutional toasts were drank, beginning with the glorious “NINETY-TWO” Anti-Rescinds of Massachusetts-Bay, and ending with, unanimity among the members of our ensuing Assembly not to rescind from the said resolution (to boycott England), each succeeded by three huzzahs.

In the evening, the tree was decorated with 45 lights, and 45 skyrockets were fired.

About 8 o’clock, the whole company, preceded by 45 of their number, marched in regular procession to town, down King-Street and Broad Street, to Mr. Robert Dillion’s tavern; where the 45 lights being placed upon the table, with 45 bowls of punch, 45 bottles of wine, and 92 glasses, they spent a few hours in a new round of toasts, among which, scarce a celebrated Patriot of Britain or America was omitted; and preserving the same good order and regularity as had been observed throughout the day, at 10 they retired.

Seeking to prevent the tree from becoming a Patriot shrine, the British cut it down and burned the stump, during their occupation of the city in 1780-82. The root was later retrieved by Judge William Johnson, who had it made into caneheads, one of which was given to Thomas Jefferson.

Ok...I changed my profile picture to the Gadsden flag

 

[JVParkour]

same here!

 

[tekkierich]

My facebook profile is changed

 

[tekkierich]

Also, my late friend Patrick really turned me on to this flag while campaigning last year. I am planning to get the Gadsden Flag on my right arm as a tattoo. I have previously been very against any tattoos so I am holding off for one more year, to make sure I really want it. Going to get it on my 30th birthday.

 

[jrskblx125]

mines changed!

It was my avatar here for a while before I changed it to the SC Sovereignty Flag but I've used it on myspace for the past 2 years. I've got a couple of shirts with it on it, fly it in my backyard, and low and behold my cousin just told me last week he's getting it tatooed on his back. There's definitely no shortage of grandfather Gadsden's flag here in his native city Charleston. Now, as far as people truely taking his spirit to heart, that's another story.
