According to the Drudge Report, the Navy will begin to fly the famous flag once again.








______________________________________________
Don't Tread On Me

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
never begins it, never, but once engaged...
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
shining with brightness, always on surveillance
the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war

liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

Here's a photo from a bike show I took in over the weekend (after I got off of my AMERICAN MADE Raliegh Touring Bicycle (95.6 miles, thank you!)).
It's the rear fender of a very custom red white and blue chopper owned by a North Carolina police officer

That painting on the chopper is exactly how I feel. I really hope the Navy does end up flying that flag.

People are starting to talk about the memorial services for 9-11 and I just get mad. This thing is not over and I think it is too soon to be having memorials since the battle is not yet over. I really hope that Bush sends a message to them on that date.
