Government Overreach: A Call to Action

The Gadsden Flag, bearing the warning "Don't Tread On Me," is a symbol of resistance against government overreach. The flag, a favorite among patriots, was a warning to the British to mind their own affairs or risk retaliation. This sentiment has been revived in recent years, particularly during the Tea Party movement, as a symbol of resistance against the violation of citizens' rights by the government.

The Government's Tendency to Overstep

The U.S. Government has a history of overstepping its bounds, often to the detriment of its citizens. Since 1787, it has repeatedly infringed upon the rights of its people without facing significant backlash. This is largely due to a misunderstanding of loyalty. The government often uses symbols, such as the flag, to inspire loyalty while simultaneously eroding freedoms.

The Erosion of Rights and Freedoms

The government often uses symbols to inspire patriotism while simultaneously eroding freedoms. For instance, they shine a light on the flag, the capitol building, the Washington Monument, and the White House to inspire patriotism. However, these symbols no longer function as they were intended. The government has hollowed out the U.S. Constitution by ignoring it and expanding the Executive Branch's powers.

Challenges to Patriots

The government's actions present a challenge to patriots. Any action taken against the government is often portrayed as an attack on the flag, the congress, or democracy. This was evident during the events of January 6th, 2021, when a protest was labeled an insurrection. This mischaracterization of the event has had a chilling effect on the right to assemble and petition for a redress of grievances.

Government Retaliation

The government will fight back with everything it has to maintain control over its people. It takes a brave population to resist these charges and repudiate the "unpatriotic" theme with action. However, the events since January 6th, 2021, demonstrate the lengths the government will go to maintain control.

Strategies for Resistance

There are strategies that can be used to resist government overreach. First, avoid giving the government a timeline or an opportunity to infiltrate. The government has a history of sponsoring or paying counter-protesters, which is a violation of the First Amendment. To counter this, citizens must be aware of their rights and be willing to report such crimes to the Sheriff or DA of the jurisdiction.

Justification for Consequences

If the government denies any right of the people, it serves as an injury for which consequences can be expected. This is the justification for consequences for stepping on the snake. In order to be unpatriotic, one has to be defying the constitution, not the illegal actions of the government itself. Denying criticism, through counter-protestors or censorship of social media, is in violation of the law.

Bottom Line

While this may sound like official jargon with no weight in a corrupt court, it's not about arguing the law, but about the justification for consequences for stepping on the snake. It's about preparing oneself mentally for the upcoming challenges. It's about knowing that despite what the media might say, one has acted rightfully and legally in the eyes of compatriots. There will be another January 6th, and the response must be a full-throated denunciation and demand for the real criminals to be exposed. What are your thoughts on this matter?
