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`!

Why Is Police Brutality Increasing Nationwide

While watching Fox News yesterday, I witnessed what has become an all too familiar sight - caught on video tape, yet again. Several Police Officers were beating a citizen mercilessly on television and they continued to do so long after the citizen was laying helpless and prone on the concrete! As the entire episode was caught on tape, it was quite obvious to everyone, who had: committed the crime, improperly escalated the situation, and was wholly in the wrong... and, as is so common today, it was the police - yet again.

Luckily for us, however, one of those malefactor police officers was suspended - according to a later news report. Of course, to my way of thinking, that left several very important unanswered questions to be addressed! Here a just a few examples:

Equality [In Fact] Under The Law

Every American knows, that there is equality [in fact] - under The Law of Our Land; so why does the law continue to factually deny it?

• Quote: "In view of The Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful." - John Marshall Harlan.

If a person born into the United States becomes A United States Citizen - upon turning eighteen - with "All Rights and/or Privileges Thereunto..." and if, "No State may abridge the Rights and/or Privileges of any citizen of these United States..." and if, "Discrimination by age is both Constitutionally and Statutorily illegal," then by what lawful dispensation are those citizens between 18 and 21 being deprived a whole host of their Rights and Privileges - under the various Federal and State laws?

Bear in mind, that this article isn't solely about drinking.... In fact, there are highly numerous and even more serious violations of these citizen's Rights and Privileges... and yet, if there was only one minor violation, then such instances would be most worthy of vociferous political notice, or loudly and hotly contested debate! For, that which can be unlawfully taken from one, can more readily be taken from all - by those very same political leaders.

A Constitutional Cap On Taxation

• Quote: "When more of The People's sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government and the expenses of its economical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of Free Government." - Grover Cleveland.

One of the greatest threats - facing America today - is the growing need for an unrestrained government, to suck the marrow from the bones, of an already staggering economy! In just a couple of years, two out of five Americans will have to bear the burdens of the entire society - thanks to The Baby-boom, and the very large and/or highly dependent social underclass, all across our nation. Yet, with four out of five current Americans, operating at a technological efficiency unheard of - for millenniums of man's existence - the burdens upon the average American are already crushing the spirit of life out of them... and still, it isn't enough!

Our public indebtedness is escalating geometrically, our national economy is imploding, and our currency is collapsing under the weight of the runaway presses! The historical results of these continuing political policies will be [quite honestly] culturally horrific and socially tragic. Unless addressed quickly, a resultant Post Modern Slave State looms over the heads of generations of Americans - yet unborn! Moreover, both: The Democrats, and Republicans did it, to us: willingly, knowingly, and premeditatively. Don't be fools....

Where Are All Of The Statesmen

• Quote: "A Constitutional Statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities." - Walter Bagehot.

There are many words in the English language that are often incorrectly and interchangeably used by: propagandists, journalists, and historians alike. The two most most tragic of these ongoing contextual misrepresentations are that of "Politician" and "Statesman." Although it may sound like splitting hairs, one might as well equate: "the meaning of politics," with "the politics of meaning..." for you would be, in both cases, equally as accurate!

Although it is true, that both of these creatures share numerous traits of common similarity, they are factually very different animals altogether! Both are elected by the consent and/or will of the governed... both hold political position and/or sway as duly elected representatives of The People... yet, that is where all similarities end. However, the differences between these two, are far more significant - than any apparent common referential overlap!
