The presence of Don’t Tread on Me flags continues to grow at all sorts of public gatherings around the country. My friend Dave Mc reported to me about a “Denver Days” parade in Denver, Indiana, last Saturday. In addition to about eight to ten full-sized Gadsden flags, he says he saw the Miami County Tea Party group handing out mini-Gadsdens to anyone who wanted them. “Best part for me,” Dave says, “was my 13-year-old explaining to some of his friends what it was and what it meant.”

He writes, “It was actually hailing when we were driving in to town, yet there were close to 1000 people there! Imagine that many people showing up in one of the most liberal states in the Union.”
I generally hate politicians. How can you trust someone who wants to wield government power? But maybe they’re not all bad. Between Ron Paul and this mayor, I’m starting to think I should lighten up a little.
