A Gift for the Rebels of Weeks Gone By

March 1st, 2012

Every Wednesday we have a new Rebel of the Week. Those stalwart freedom lovers who remain defiant in the face of state aggression, or steadfast in their pursuit of liberty. Although I cherish the opportunity to acknowledge their heroism it’s sad to see their accomplishments so quickly disappear down the memory hole of stale blog posts. So I thought I would create some graphics which they could use to showcase their honor on their own sites. I’ll be creating one each week from now on, but in the mean time here are graphics for my 10 favorite rebels so far, and I’ll make one for any of our previous rebels upon request.

These are in chronological order. Not ranked in any way.

About the Author: Davi Barker

In grade school Davi refused to recite the pledge of allegiance because he didn't understand what it meant. He was ordered to do as he was told. In college he spent hours scouring through the congressional record trying to understand this strange machine. That's where he discovered Dr. Ron Paul. In 2007 he joined the End The Fed movement and found a political home with the libertarians. The Declaration of Independence claims that the government derives its power “from the consent of the governed." He does not consent.
