The Gadsden flag was almost the US flag, before The Stars and Stripes was adopted.
I'm glad it wasn't. It really looks too much like a picture of a turd ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) LOL At least the snake is uncoiled a bit. If it were all coiled up, it would look even worse. Of course, the message is the same, either way. Step on me, and you're going to have a bad day. When I see it and think about someone stepping on it, the only thing I think of is *SPROING!* and someone bouncing off like Sonic off a spring platform. Too much cartoons growing up. :p

@ temthaw
I like many of your suggestions. Admittedly, this poem is not supposed to flow. It's supposed to jerk the reader around. There is one important thing that i disagree with you on, mainly the elimination of the word "running" (this would leave 26.5 as the only clue as to what i'm writing about). Also the apostrophe is very necessary in the the first line.
Thanks for your feedback.
Also, I'm glad that America did not adopt the Gadsden flag as our emblem. The Gadsden flag represents (and I believe always will represent) resistance to entrenched power: during the revolution it meant resistance to the king and his occupational government, today it means resistance to the globalists and their occupational government.

Admittedly, it's nice to see a contrast between our current and our previous presidents. When 9/11 happened, Senate passed the Homeland Security Act, and Bush invaded Iraq, built Guantanamo, and tried to legalize torture. Since the Boston bombing happened, Obama hasn't really pushed for anything, and recently started to push even harder to try to close Guantanamo and finally give its residents a fair trial. Maybe America learned its lesson and is moving in the right direction?

Wanted to see if Rule 34 held up to this, so Googled "don't tread on me rule 34." I think I found Kokjo's and blahblahblah's flag ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Frule34-data-003.paheal.net%2F_images%2Fd586d87e3fc88bf7d3b4aa8c27e197cd%2F715633%2520-%2520Flag%2520History%2520featured_image%2520gadsden_flag%2520pierrezaius%2520tea_party.png&t=665&c=qCndeso1dD3NTg) P.S. If you're wondering, I didn't find "porn of it." Rule 34 fail.

You know what that means, don't you? Time to commission a furry artist?
