This “Liberty Pole” is one of hundreds erected in America as a symbol of the colonials’ resistance to British tyranny. The poles were often 100’ tall serving as places to meet or post political news. The Sons of Liberty erected the first one on May 21, 1766 in Boston. Historical records indicate these poles existed across America, especially in MA, PA, NJ, NY and GA.
Gadsden Flag: “Racist”
Editor’s Note: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) spawned this one: Got 1A?
Government Ruling: "Don't Tread on Me" (Gadsden image) can be Racist 8/4/2016 by Editorial Staff at American Military News: The EEOC issued its “preliminary” ruling after a black employee filed a workplace complaint in 2014. First the Confederate Flag, now wearing clothing with the Revolutionary-era Gadsden Flag can be"racial harassment" in the workplace. Will the old “Red, White and Blue” meet the same fate? http://americanmilitarynews.com/2016/08/government-ruling-wearing-gadsden-flag-is-racist-racial-harassment/?utm_campaign=DailyEmails&utm_source=PM_Email&utm_medium=email

Editor’s Note: CA bill SB 1146 (Lara) will end the Golden State’s religious exemption law at faith-based colleges and universities if LGBT “Transgender” civil rights are violated.
