ARIZONA BITE ME !!! (Flag)

[Unhyphenated American]

I really like this flag except for two things. I want to see the copper star in the middle. Also, I would replace the words 'bite me' with Me mordi. Bite me just seems a little crass.

-----------------------------

The flags, coffee mugs and bumper stickers (T-shirts will also be available soon) will be available in English, Latin and Spanish... We are working on getting products now.

The original flag was 'BITE ME' and was stated in anger and ment to be somewhat 'in their face' and believe me they noticed it!

The copper star was omitted and there was a bootlegger ('patriot' for profit) that stole idea and left AZ flag and just and pasted the snake from the Gadsen and added text below.... no creativity and not one cent of the sales on that one are going to the cause that graphic was intended for. The graphic of the snake on AZ sunburst and BITE ME are the copyrighted design. Some have taken the design and only changed the test and calling it their 'own'. See more at www.ArizonaBiteMe.com You can contact us for pre-sale items on the site.
Portion of sales are going to KeepAZSafe (https://az.gov/app/keepazsafe/index.xhtml), Border Sheriffs (BorderSheriffs.com | Defending Those Who Defend Our Borders) A fund that is being used for defense of the lawsuit filed against the State of Arizona and several Border Sheriffs so that not one dime of taxpayers money is used to defend lawsuits from Justice Department and ACLU. ArizonaBiteMe is located right here in southern Arizona.

Thanks for your support and will be posting products shortly on the site above.

We also thank USA Flags for allowing our posts.

We also thank USA Flags for allowing our posts.

We're glad to allow posts that discuss the symbolism and use of flags, including political flags such as the "Bite Me" flag. We also welcome civilized conversation about the meaning of patriotism and related topics. Those things are what this forum is all about. However, we're not here to host discussions about immigration policy or other political issues, or to be a conduit for sniping, name-calling and polemics. As I've often said, there are plenty of other places on the 'net where you can do that.

Obviously, the appropriateness of a particular post is sometimes a judgement call. We do our best to follow the above guidlines, and we hope that all forum members will do so as well. Comments and feedback are always welcome -- if you don't want to post it publically, you can send me a private message or an offline email.

Peter, did I violate policy? If so I had no intention of doing so.
I do keep politics out and refrain from name calling, just stating truths.
We are having problems with couple flag manufacturing companies that are doing as I explained above and not giving credit where credit is due for personal profit. Being offered with statements... 'Show support for Arizona',.... 'New Tea Party Flag'... "[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Every revolutionist should have one!"... riding the buzz words for sales, with no true concern for Arizona or the meaning of the flag. Others have been extremely cooperative on the infringement aspect and we salute them.[/FONT]

The story I am putting together for site is rough without getting into some of the politics of the flags' origin and purpose and I am trying to write it in a manner that adheres to the USA-FLAGS policy. The symbolism is not a problem, it was in the way that Arizona was treated by others in the passing of state laws that the majority of Americans agreed with to protect the citizens here. The people (myself included) were getting tired defending against the law, boycotts, protests, comments and misinterpretation of the law by those not even having read it, Arizonans being called names that were out of order to the point of vulgarity,

I will send you draft of story before posting and I do appreciate the opportunity to post here.

Thank you again,

Hi, Wolf!

Peter, did I violate policy? If so I had no intention of doing so.

No, you didn't. I was just reponding to your comment thanking us for allowing your posts. The information about your flag and the legal issues you've had to deal with is very interesting and pertinent to what the forum is all about.

As I'm sure you know there are lots of folks (including many here in the forum) who may disagree with your political point of view. My concern was that we try very hard not to let the forum become another venue for partisan name-calling and such. It's a fine line, because flags and patriotism are inherently controversial subjects, but we do the best we can. I was just mentioning it -- I'm sorry if it sounded like criticism, because that was not intended.

Best,

Greetings, ALL !!!


Just out of curiousity I searched on Google for "Arizona BITE ME Flag" to see where we (USA-Flag-Site Forums) were situated in the search results.

Five months ago (July, 2010) this thread was started, and after only a week or two of discussion we ended up in the top slot on Google for searches related to the "Arizona BITE ME Flag". I was somewhat surprised by that development but nonetheless I was pleased.

The most recent previous reply in this thread (before this one) was posted almost four months ago on August 18th by Peter Ansoff. After such a long period of inactivity, I was wondering how far down we would slide in Google's search results for "Arizona BITE ME Flag". So I went to Google and searched for "Arizona BITE ME Flag".


HERE ARE THE RESULTS :
