Freedom shirts

This assessment from the guy who wrote brilliant pieces like The All Armed, All Smoking Airline. Well, Vin, ....I gotta say I have to disagree with you. Just look at Doing Freedom. The content of this web page all by itself is testament to the continued existence of freedom of the press (God Bless the internet).

And here's an idea that'll set tyranny on its ear. It started a long time ago, in Alaska, when I first learned of the wholesale theft of America's money and the contemptible character of those elected to federal offices. Fervent young zealot that I was, I ordered a dozen t-shirts printed with Jefferson's timeless quote, "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."

Well, the order never showed up for months and months and I finally chalked up the expense of the order to experience in the ways of the mail order business. Turns out later that the shirts finally arrived some time after I had moved and were enjoyed by my friends whom I'd left behind. I remember being immensely pleased that that sage Jeffersonian sentiment was exposed on 12 more shirts, at my behest, worn perhaps all around the world, and my only regret was not having one to wear for myself.

And that's the idea. Call it freedom shirts. Someone could make a lot of money on this, and I'm going to give it all away––for nothing. Consider it my contribution to the freedom movement.

See, the deal is that people in flyover country are getting sick and tired of having every special interest group agenda shoved down their throats every time they turn around, aided and abetted by a hemorrhaging and bloated, desperate and criminal central federal government. The indications are everywhere that the pendulum of PC is poised to begin swinging away from the collectivist special interests back towards traditional individual sovereignty.

Here is a golden opportunity! Especially now, with the recent enormous promotional budget lavished on Mel Gibson's new blockbuster movie, The Patriot, some astute entrepreneur could make a killing marketing t-shirts and sweats emblazoned with "Don't Tread on Me," "Viva le Revolution!" and "Second Class Citizen: Heterosexual Working White Male."

Consider this. If half the country is working to support the other half, think about how many people are beginning to become totally fed up with the continuing and escalating antics of the politicos and their goons in capitals everywhere, and the vast market for politically appropriate and indignant casual wear created thereby. Throw together some imagination and a little ambition and you could make yourself a mint. There's gold in them thar hills, boy!

Make up a nice "I (heart) Vin Suprynowicz" shirt and I bet you'd sell a million of 'em.
