"gwbush is the nearest thing we have today to a Jeffersonian democracy"
Said this stupid idiot of a freeper.

I said in reply:

"Jeez! You definitely have your mind incredibly f-ked up by making a statement like that. First off, you don't know one iota about Jefferson and your minuscule mind could not possibly comprehend just exactly what a democracy is or what it's even all about..."

He said in reply:

"Well you don't what freedom and patriotism are all about. You fly that yellow snake flag of your's that says don't f-k me...."

My response:

"Please don't give me that crap... it only shows your ignorance. I'm certainly more patriotic than you and your political ilk. Another thing, my flag says 'Don't Tread on Me' and I fly it in defiance of current tyranny that is the government."

By the time I finished speaking, the freep walked away in a huff.

2. Good for you I proudly fly the Gadsden Flag as well
It is the most appropriate flag in times like these.

I've got one of those around the house, too. Maybe I'll fly it.

8. You should fly it
I am probably the only person in my neighbourhood that has one up and flying.

All the other folks around me have the stars and stripes flying.

3. Some ammo for next time:
Jefferson was most proud of his statute on religious liberty. He described himself as a deist, not a Christian, and was suspicious of the interference of matters of state by Church. As for your flag--it is a reproduction of a Revolutionary War banner. Any member of DAR would be proud that you are displaying it...or does the freeper think that the DAR is a liberal group?

6. Most likely
the freep hasn't heard of the DAR.
I know this person is woefully ignorant very much in the faux/cnn manner, because he only listens to and trusts the news on cable tv.

4. There will soon come a time
When freepers and other neocon 'pukes will have to make a choice - between their party and their country.
