Gadsden Flag Fun

The Gadsden Flag is a popular flag of protest. In contrast to the red, white, and American blue or even the Confederate flag, it is a stark contrast with a yellow background and a snake. Here is a list of some pop-art mashups with the Gadsden Flag. It reminds me of the Chinese Emperor's flag but instead of a Dragon we have a snake. And in some mythologies snakes are often thought of as 'little' dragons.

    I am charmed.
    I wish the Gadsden flag hadn't become so firmly attached in recent years to one particular ideology, especially one as stupid as teabaggery.
