Don't Tread On Me
If you hang out with me a lot, then you know that I've been using the term 'don't tread on me' a lot lately. I am going to explain why I do.
I got the term 'don't tread on me' from my favorite comedy, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. That show is so hilarious. If you haven't seen it, then you need to catch an episode. It's on FX on Thursday at 10 eastern. Here is the scene in the episode when Charlie from the show uses 'don't tread on me'. It's in the episode "Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass". Scratch that, the video isn't on youtube anymore. This angers and confuses me. I will check myspace then. Oh baby, I found it:
Charlie - Don't tread on me

Now here are some flags. This first flag is know as The Gadsden flag. It is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the snake is the legend "DON'T TREAD ON ME." The flag was designed by and is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden.
This second flag replaced the first one by the current Stars and Stripes flag. Since the Revolution, the flag has seen times of reintroduction as a symbol of American patriotism.
The Gadsden flag has become an important symbol to many libertarians. A Gadsden flag was presented to the town manager of Killington, Vermont, by a representative of the Free State Project after that town's 2004 vote to pursue secession from Vermont. The Free State Project has also adopted a unique version of the Gadsden Flag as the flag of their organization. Their flag bears a porcupine rather than a snake, as the porcupine was chosen early on as a mascot of the Free State Project.
There is your history on 'don't tread on me'. I hope you learned something today. I love using that term.
