#18   I think that's Gadsden.

You're right. Apologies for the misspelling.

#17  Yes Sam, my prayer as well. I continue to hope someone at Fox or in the MSM will do a story on the FLOTUS and ACA Web Site developer firm. Nothing yet. Some talking-head on Hannity alluded to it last night, but no one touched it.

B'Man, I'll get this in quick. Every night I go to sleep I play the Gary Owen. It's the 7th Cavalry regimental march.

I pray to God to give me the strength and show me the time to commence butchering my enemies.

Just using the term butchering is abound to attract the attention of the overseers, good.

To them I say, come, I've prepared for you.

#16  Now now Secret Asian Man - isn't that kind of harsh to people who ride the short bus?

I still think Jerkoff has a string out his back and when someone pulls it, he spouts out some DNC talking point - and does it badly at that (Teapot?).

Obama is just trying to purge the military of the old order. Soon to come the Obama symbol will become mandatory as well as a picture on every wall.

#15  Oh really?? So what are you implying? A military coup?? Seriously, you teapot dipsh*ts should get a life...

Well, aren't you special? Bless your heart, you must be missing your friends on the short bus.

Wattsa matta u, mommy won't let you lick the window?

#13  It's actually known as the Gasden flag. After 9/11, the Secretary of the Navy authorized its use by USN ships in place of the "jack", the small flag displayed at the bow while the vessel is in port.

There's also the first Naval Ensign, which has elements of the Gasden flag combined with the red and white stripes of the national flag.

#12  Last coup in a major westernized nation nation happened in Moscow when the frothing at the mouth ideological socialists ousted a more pragmatic Gorbachev. When they ordered their political generals to send the troops into the streets, it appears the rank and file weren't with the party program. As they say - the rest is history.

#11  Navy SEALs ordered to remove purge 'don't tread on me' Navy Jack from uniforms. - corrected headline

Given the political orientation of the present administration, my guess is the "feelings" of the "authorities" when viewing the uniforms is an embarrassment to them as well as a reminder of our military's strength. Hence, the actions of the "guilty feeling administration" falls to the need to purge it from view, a small action, but significant when put into the context of this administration and its former appointees (czars).
PURGE verb (used with object)

1.to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable; cleanse; purify.
2.to rid, clear, or free (usually followed by of or from ): to purge a political party of disloyal members.
3.to clear of imputed guilt or ritual uncleanliness.
4.to clear away or wipe out legally (an offense, accusation, etc.) by atonement or other suitable action.
5.to remove by cleansing or purifying (often followed by away, off, or out ).

We have seen such "purge" actions before in several former free states in South and Central America, Caribbean, Russia, and Asia.

Hence the picture below:

#10  Yeah, see, I don't belong to the tea party. I belong to the Imperialistic Warmonger Party. When we conquer Canada, I'll put you down for a fate worse than death. You'll be a martyr to non humans everywhere.

#9  Oh really?? So what are you implying? A military coup?? Seriously, you teapot dipsh*ts should get a life...

If you force through your actions, your best, your razors to quit, the line becomes thinner as time goes on. That may be what Obama wants, but it is not good for the nation.

And be nice. I doubt 10 percent of those who comment here are influenced by or support the TEA Party.

#3  The SEALS are already pissed off over what happened to Team 6 members post OBL mission.

Yes, things are happening fast, Obungles is running out of time, certain provocations haven't had the desired effect. He knows 2014 will be a blood bath for the Dims.

I'm praying they're as inept as usual, rush their agenda before all the pieces are in place and we gut them once and for all.

#2  I doubt that the 'Don't Tread on Me' will be the LAST flag to be outlawed. Things, they be happening at a rather fast pace of late.

#1  Not a good idea to pi$$ off the SEALS.
