It's my pleasure to present all my friends here with a short history lesson on this topic.
The Gadsen flag was one of the first casualties of the Obama administration's war on United States history under the fake guise of racism.
The Gadsen flag has always been widely known as a powerful populist symbol of American individualism and exceptionalism. It was completely not surprising when it began to appear at every Tea Party protests in 2009 (these were what "mostly peaceful protests" actually looked like). The Tea Party movement was the first of many organized efforts that began ringing the alarm bells early on regarding President Obama's fiscal policies. Experts and insiders in the US financial markets saw immediately that Obama's economic policies would be extremely damaging to the United States economy.
In spite, and out of political anger Obama first tried to do an end-run to get rid of the Gadsen Flag within the US military. But patriots sounded the alarm bells and now 'found out' that end run was scuttled.
It was a completely unrelated and remarkable coincidence [sarcasm HTML tag would go here if it existed] that the EEOC took up the issue of the Gadsen flag. The EEOC issued an bullshit decision that didn't even reach a conclusion that the Gadsen flag was a racist symbol (which could have then been appealed). Instead it created a huge litigation risk for anyone that raised the Gadsen Flag.
The absolute first Gadsen flag meme that -I- am personally aware of came out of the military. Patriots serving our country knew that this Obama-inspired decision to destroy the Gadsen Flag was pure bullshit and immediately rose to action. A badly drawn snake with the precise shade of background yellow as the Gadsen Flag with the message "No Steppa Snake" was drawn up in an army barracks by a Black Patriot. The badly drawn No Steppa Snake was picked over others that were artistically designed. It's completely in line with what the Gadsen Flag means. "Good luck trying to take us down".
I would love to be able to confirm the origin of the first Gadsen Flag meme. It will be absolutely glorious if it can be proven as true. Those that did this sort of thing had to do it quietly because they would have been punished under Obama. Hell, we are still being punished by Leftists for daring to support individuality and national exceptionalism.
Obama was disrespectful to tread on the Gadsen Flag. His disrespect awoke the underlying spirit of the Gadsen Flag. Now it is spreading even faster.
I hope you enjoyed learning about the Gadsen Flag. Feel free to cut and paste, forward, repost and share however you see fit.
