Don't Tread On Me T Shirt - Tool For The Current American Revolution

As my title of this post states, a don’t tread on me t shirt is a tool for the current American Revolution. I believe we, as a nation, are starting to see evidence of an American revolution happening. Witness the recent tea parties and the popularity and approval ratings for President Obama and the democrats of late.

If you go to Rasmussen Reports, you’ll see a downward trend in the Presidential Approval Rating.

On the other hand as Rush points out to a caller on his show recently, “…falling poll numbers aren’t going to accomplish anything…If we don’t stop this -- be it health care, tax and trade, whatever it is - it’s not going to be the United States of America you and I were born in.”

Don’t get me wrong, wearing a don’t tread on me t shirt, displaying a don’t tread on me bumper sticker, or flying a don’t tread on me flag, may be a small thing to do, in support of this current American Revolution, but I think not. All the above does make for more awareness to what is happening in our country.

On Saturday afternoon, this past week-end, I stopped by my son’s house. My daughter-in-law, Celeste - my 2+ year old granddaughter and a friend of theirs were relaxing in the backyard. They all had been to yard sales all morning and afternoon . My son commented on seeing a few don’t tread on me flags , (all Gadsden Flags), flying in front of houses. He has a Gadsden Flag flying in his yard also. He told me he’d like to have a don’t tread on me t shirt. Maybe I’ll get one for him and especially for my granddaughter Celeste.

Wearing a don’t tread on me t shirt, I think, is a good awareness motivator. Isn’t that what we, as people who want to awaken as many of the “drones” as we can, want to do? As Glenn Beck says in his book,
Common Sense: “…This revolution will take place in our minds and hearts. This revolution will be won when Americans rebel against the lies that are being told by those in power…”

Having a don’t tread on me t shirt, or maybe several don’t tread on me t shirts in your wardrobe, and actually wearing them are good conversation openers. You wear one of the various designs of a don’t tread on me t shirt and someone is bound to ask you what is meant by don’t tread on me and why the rattlesnake and/or why are you wearing it? That opens the possibility of an educational conversation of current events. An opportunity to educate someone in the hopes of some enlightenment. A wake-up call, you being the person doing the awakening.

So become part of the current American Revolution, get a don’t tread on me t shirt, you’ll be glad you did.

Best Political Books Alert: It's a CATASTROPHE


Before I give
my brief discussion of the new book that I have added to my best political books library, I would like to extend a belated happy 4th of July to all my fellow Americans out there. I hope you all had an outstanding and memorable 4th of July week-end, I know I did!

We, my children and grandchildren, did our annual cook-out at a local park we go to every 4th of July. The community has a great fireworks display every year. I believe this year was slightly shorter than previous years, perhaps a sign of the times, but it was still magnificent. Our youngest, Celeste (2 1/2), one of my granddaughter's, didn't make it all the way through to the end, falling asleep shortly after they started. Amazing, with all the exploding rockets and lights going on. We all had a grand time.

Now, the most recent addition to my best political books library, is
Catastrophe, by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann. Dick Morris is a political commentator on Fox News and other networks. He served for twenty years as Bill Clinton's political consultant. Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant, who works with Dick. Together they write weekly columns for foxnews.com and the New York Post.

In this best political book, it is reported, in detail and cited on the front cover: "
How Obama, Congress, and the special interests are transforming...a slump into a crash, freedom into socialism, and disaster into a CATASTROPHE...and how to fight back"

Truly, a best political book, that needs to be read by every American. As stated in their book:

"It's time to take back our country. Now. It's that simple. It's that urgent. It's time to take
back from President Barack Obama, before he fully implements his radical agenda----one
that threatens our liberty, endangers our livelihood, and jeopardizes our very safety and
security. Obama has canceled the war on terror and declared a war on prosperity. It's a
catastrophe."

Another best political book. The authors of CATASTROPHE, report in detail some of the things that are and have been going on in Washington D.C. that we, as Americans, should be aware of. At the end of each chapter they give an "Action Agenda", things that we can and should do to remedy some of the wrongs that our so called trusted politicians are doing.

In the words of Thomas Jefferson, that he wrote in a letter on January 8, 1789:

"
...whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their Government, that,
whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set
them to rights..."

I think that is what the authors of CATASTROPHE, are trying to do, in this best political book. First, make us citizens aware of the problems that have and are being created with the present caretakers of our government. Then, how, with the power "we the people" have, we can right the wrongs that are being perpetrated on us. As stated in CATASTROPHE:

"This is no time for apathy or alienation or hopelessness. It's time for action. The stakes
literally could not be higher."

I highly recommend this newest addition to my best political books library as a very informative, eye opening and useful tool in the fight to win our country back. Make no mistake, we are in a fight for our very freedoms and liberties that we celebrated this past week-end. We need to stop taking them for granted, or we just might lose them. Never, you say, I say - never say never. Also, once something is lost it is next to impossibe to regain it.


Now, in an earlier post on this blog, I mentioned that I would like to share a list of what I consider as some of the best political books available to us. I realize that my list of best political books is not all inclusive of every best political book, but it is, I think, a list of some really great books to consider. If you would notice to the right of this article (at the top), I have Best Political Books:
Liberty Tom's Picks. I invite you to click on Liberty Tom's Picks, it will take you to my library where you can browse, and if you find one or two or three or four books you think you'd like, then by all means take that action and invest in your self knowledge and further education. Remember, an informed citizenry...


From time to time, I will be adding new books to my best political books library, as I become aware of them.


Thanks for taking time to read this article. Have a nice day.
