Don't Tread on Me
A new flag was unfurled yesterday at 111 Mooreland Road.
Historically it is known as the Gadsden flag after a Colonel in the South Carolina colonial militia during the Revolutionary War. In 1774 a yellow flag with a coiled rattlesnake and the words, "Don't Tread 0n Me," was first flown as a symbol of defiance of the tyranny of Great Britain.
In recent days the flag has been making something of a comeback.
It is a modern-day rallying banner for the values and ideals of the Revolution and this American experiment in liberty and self government. It is a protest against the aggressive expansion of the socialist state and the threats to individual liberty that are multiplying daily in our nation.
That is why it now flies defiantly at 111 Mooreland Road.
