Is The Gadsden Flag A Symbol Of Hate

Recently, in The State of Connecticut, a state representative was threatened with arrest for attempting to raise  The Gadsden Flag at a Tea Party Event in Hartford on April 9th. Such foolish political occurrences should be [honestly] regarded as, American History - in the making! Thankfully, I have finally located a video confirmation of this event online. Meanwhile, according to the reporter reporting it [previously]: "The Gadsden Flag" was:

• An Anti-Governmental Flag.
• And Represented Hatred and/or Hate Speech.

However, we can [in fact] locate very accurate information on this particular Patriotic and Lawful American Flag... and, in stark contrast to that ill-informed statement, The Gadsden Flag has always been flown as a symbol of proper lawful petition toward the absolute protection of Our Constitutional Freedoms and Rights from Unlawful Tyranny - whether Foreign or Domestic in its overall nature! Moreover, as it was our very first symbol of True Freedom and Equality Under The Law, it has never been used to signify Hatred or Hate Speech, per se`!

Popular Democracy A Vehicle For Tyranny

One reader of yesterday’s editorials, brought up a very important issue, of which our more enlightened ancestors were fully aware, and our own more modern generation doesn’t seem to grasp. The concept of “Tyranny” – as literally defined, philosophically alluded to, or even spiritually grasped – has absolutely nothing to do with the physical number, or percentile quantity, of the participants to such unethical, immoral, illegal, anti-social, and politically dis-enfranchising behaviors! While a “Dictator,” “Despot,” or “King,” may only be one individual; it requires a numerous number of [objectively] other Tyrants in order to achieve and [extensively] maintain his undeserved political power.

As our ancestors were so oft to say, “Birds of a feather, oft stay together” and nowhere is this saying more true than while living under a Tyranny…. Could Hitler, Lenin, or Mao have accomplished their tasks without the readily apparent aid of millions, throughout their own nations? Could Franco, Mussolini, or Peron have maintained their political hegemonies without a large percentage of their own populations walking behind them? Of course, not! Just as criminals will [often] team up in order to accomplish their objectives [even though they, may, personally hate one another]… Despotisms require Tyrants to combine their forces for [their-own] mutually beneficial purposes!
