in 2006 (R) governor Sonny Perdue will be the 3rd strait 1 term governor of georgia.

these guys are responsible for dumping (d) governor holden of missouri in the primarys after he removed to confederate battle flags from a civil war cemetary, as well as the 2 former governors of georgia and former (D) governor beasly in south carolina, they were also responsible for Beasly's defeat in the attempted SC senate run... as well as several other carreer ending blows to state politicians and elected judges all across the south.

They are great examples in how to get rid of rino's.

[KoRn]

Are these the people that Boortz refers to as "Flaggots"? lol

[gdc61]

what were they replaced with? solid conservatives I hope!

[DixieOklahoma]

just a few, there are hundreds

[DixieOklahoma]

indeed solid paleo-conservatives.

(Rino) Perdue will be next, the georgia state house and senate are now under republican control with a majority of them being real conservatives instead of rino's.

[msnimje]

Sonny Perdue is a waste of oxygen. Zell Miller used to be our Democratic Governor. Gubernatorial Politics in Georgia are pretty bizarre.

[gdc61]

awesome! we tried our hardest up here in Pa. to get rid of our RINO, Specter, but came up short. next time he's toast.

[PAR35]

Zell Miller used to be our Democratic Governor.

Zig Zag Zell wanted to change the flag as well, but he backed down when he realized the political costs of doing so. Zell is always going to be on the winning side.

[advance_copy]

It took a hundred and forty-five years, but we might be finally winning....

"Of the five Major political targets the SHPAC selected four were defeated, a ratio of 80%"

Now if y'all down theah can get of that Commie McKinney monstrosity....

[Cheapskate]

Wow that is impressive I just wish we could get that done in Illinois and California.

[donozark]

Holden got tossed for many reasons beside the Confederate Battle Flag issue. Taxes. Withholding of school funds. Gun control-anti-CCW. Pandering to unions. Forced union membership for state employees. An over-all "Jiminy Cricket" image. Dull of affect and gross incompetance. Even Dems deemed him "unelectable" in November election.Hence, he got defeated by Claire McCaskill, who in turn, was defeated by our soon-to-be-inaugurated Republican Governor, Matt Blunt.

[OKIEDOC]

"These were people targeted for wanting to change the flag? If that's what this is about, then damn, Georgia must be doing pretty good to have such a lame issue be so potent."

Javelina


Judging from your posts (lame issue)you evidently don't have much respect for Southern Heritage.

People who turn their backs on history and their traditions don't have much backbone.

Let's see, history and traditions as retold by Uncle Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney, Babs Boxer, Hellery Clinton and little Johnny Conyers. All closet Racists to the Nth degree.

[DixieOklahoma]

not from the south are ya?

[DixieOklahoma]

are you not aware of the 'dump holden' campaign? It was massive and it was effective. take a look at the pictures above

[jsbankston]

Here's a "touching" article from the Southern Heritage PAC Website:

"When I Was A Boy"
When I was a boy in Georgia in the 1940s, the schools and many of the businesses there closed down to observe Confederate Memorial Day; and we assembled at the Confederate cemetery to hear our US senator or congressman praise the virtues of the Confederates. It was a big deal. Today those schools ignore Confederate Memorial Day and close for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday instead.

When I was a boy, Confederate cemeteries routinely flew Confederate flags. Now those flags are being systematically banished from Confederate cemeteries, because they have "offended" somebody.

When I was a boy, I was taught in school that the War Between the States was fought primarily over states' rights and economics, and secondarily over slavery. Many of today's Southern schools don't even bother to teach the history of their state, or American history, anymore. Of those that do, most fly through the "Civil War" in an hour or so, attributing it solely to the dastardly defense of slavery on the part of the South.

When I was a boy (Before Television), the radio stations signed off the air at midnight each night by playing "Dixie." The high school and college marching-bands routinely played "Dixie." Now they no longer play "Dixie," for fear they might "offend" someone.

When I was a boy, white Southerners were routinely treated with respect as characters in the plots of movies. For the past 30 years, they have been treated like despicable scum; thus shaping powerfully the attitudes of the Americans (including the Southerners) regarding the Southerners.

When I was a boy, there were few if any documentaries ("docudramas") depicting the white Southerners as systematically mistreating innocent blacks. Now the TV programming is filled with reruns of distorted docudramas which make the white Southerners look like animals; and new documentaries in exactly the same vein are being released every day.

When I was a boy, even the liberal historians wrote balanced histories of The War and of Reconstruction. Nowadays with few exceptions, the "histories" are liberal propaganda that distorts history and vilifies the Confederates and their descendants. It was all about slavery, and later the inexcusable exploitation of the freed blacks

When I was a boy, the Southern news-media did not print disrespectful descriptions of the Confederates and their flags. Now any black activist can call the battle flag the "Nazi swastika," and the Confederates "SS concentration-camp guards," and almost every newspaper and TV station in the South will carry that as straight news.

[Free_in_Alabama]

Whats your problem. Southern Pride is great. Is everyone else allowed to have a proud heritage except the southern white population.

[Free_in_Alabama]

One other thing your either missing one of these two your either not southern, white, or conservative. Which is it? You hate for the southern white conservative is just too overpowering.

[jsbankston]

It just think it is a shame that that the writer's Yankee editor took out that paragraph about how awful in was back in the 1940's when people were segregated based on skin color and only the white folk could vote.

[donozark]

Yes. Of course I am. But to claim this "flag issue" was alone responsible for Holdens defeat would be incorrect. Does a disservice to all those who came together to dump the incompetant boob. Gun-owners. Right to Work supporters. And of course our biggest helper was Holden himself...His million dollar inauguration-that he couldn't cover dollar-wise and had to extort $ from union workers cost him dearly. His withholding of $ to schools hurt him badly even among his Dem. supporters. As well as his threats/promises to cut $ to the physicall/mentally disabled.

Again, no one group/org can claim they, and they alone tossed "Gov.Holdup" out of office.

[DixieOklahoma]

you are a little troll and need to go to bed, its time to sleep sweetheart. KERRY LOST BWWWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.

So you're from texas? I'm sorry that you have been so fully and completely uneducated as to YOUR OWN history, its a shame that one person could be so uneducated and care so little for this that happened in your own country. you disgusting, filthy liberal .

MLK was a socialist by the way. he did some good things but if he had his way we would be europe right now.

[DixieOklahoma]

NOT POOR OR UNEDUCATED

No, you are wealthy, arrogant and uneducated, particulary about history which should concern you.

[DixieOklahoma]

I'll agree to some point, but I suppose with every component being needed, any group could claim that they were responsible for his defeat and be correct?

[Riverman94610]

"ML King was a Socialist"
Oh,my,you don't say?
Well,give me"socialist"Dr. King over "capitalist"Jesse"wheres the money"Jackson anytime.
Dr. King had principles.He was as much a part of "Southern Heritage"as all the good old boys waving the stars and bars that you had in your pictures.
I am white,from California but did live in the South for three years in the Seventies and met a lot of white Southerners I have utmost respect for.None of THEM,however,used that flag as a political symbol to turn back the clock to another era.

[cyborg]

The person writing that is writing from his own point of view. There's more than enough literature in the form of essays and autobiographies to get an idea of everyone's experience. However, you're opinion of MLK is a bit askew considering his main mission was ensuring black peoples' rights as Americans to live free and have equal access and participate in the American dream. Not saying you're wrong, but Europe wasn't all that shabby at the time. Many blacks like Josephine Baker achieved untold riches and freedom by moving there.

[Dog Gone]

How is getting rid of Democrats "booting RINOs"? Sure, some Republicans were in that list but not in the numbers you made up for the fake headline.

[donozark]

Well, if any one group could claim credit for Holden's demise, it would be the NRA. We have fought him (and Carnahan)for years-not merely since Boonville incident, as Southern Heritage has. NRA spent $3.5 million trying to pass CCW in 1999. Dems fought it tooth and nail. Over 100K NRA members in Missouri worked tirelessly to defeat this rapscallion after he announced he was opposed to CCW. Other RKBA groups likewise joined in.

Our new Gov. was sworn in today. First time in 84 years Republicans control Gov/Senate/House. RKBA groups clearly are responsible. One has only to look at the county map of MO. Only urban areas went for Dems. Holden's "replacement" Claire McCaskill actually wrote the CCW ballot initiative and tilted it toward defeat by her wording of same.

In addition to previously mentioned issues, the gay marriage thing, although banned in Aug. primary, left a bad taste in peoples mouths. No pun intended. The pro-gay-marriage crowd was clearly delineated as being Dem in origin/composition.

Lastly, Holden LOST jobs. That's right, the self-same thing Dems accuse Bush of (losing more jobs than gaining) fell on Holden. Some 14K less, IIRC.

The "flag issue" got little mention in media as having any significance one way or the other...

[wimpycat]

I'm actually responding to an article you posted that was pulled while I was searching for this flag, but the current Georgia state flag does, in fact, contain a confederate symbol. It is only a slight variation on THE original Confederate flag, the real "stars and bars", as opposed to the other one, which was merely a battle flag.

The real joke is on the people who wanted to change the flag in the first place. The new flag is, if anything, even more "confederate" than the other one.

[Clemenza]

The flag of treason flys again!

[VeniVidiVici]

Perhaps I don't care about your heritage because I'm not poor or uneducated? That could be it.

Oh, oh. She pulled the redneck card on you guys.

While we're at it, a year or so ago there was an article about a black guy carrying a Confederate flag across the country. I think his ancestors fought in the war?

Anybody know if he ever made it? It was nice to see him say that heritage transcends color.

[Centurion2000]

From Texas....But I could still care less about your heritage.

You must be a first or second generation Texas immigrant then. Texas is in the South as well. Forget that at your peril next time you are outside the cities.

[VeniVidiVici]

I'm a guy. And yes, DixieOklahoma is a redneck.

Sorry. Didn't notice you were packin'.

[Diddle E. Squat]

White native Texan who lived in GA and whose forefathers came to Texas after losing everything to Sherman's march to the sea. Believe in smaller govt, free markets, tax cuts, cutting govt spending, balanced budgets, expanding gun rights, ending abortion, school choice, and fighting moral relativism. Also believe that you screaming, harping, bad-costumed, rebel flag-obsessed whackos are a laughable embarrassment, completely unreflective of most Southerners (other than the rare convergence when some liberal racebaiters try to demagogue the flag for socialism and fundraising.)

Guess that makes me a RINO, too?

[VeniVidiVici]

whose forefathers came to Texas after losing everything to Sherman's march to the sea.

No way! What regiments where they in?

[Diddle E. Squat]

I have no idea. Those kind of details didn't get passed down by my father when he would talk about family history, by then we weren't all obsessed with the Civil War, but rather the great...great grandma who dipped snuff and used a spitoon.

[Amelia]

The real joke is on the people who wanted to change the flag in the first place. The new flag is, if anything, even more "confederate" than the other one.

Yeah, but the "Southern heritage" people don't know enough about their Southern heritage to have figured that out yet.

[VeniVidiVici]

but rather the great...great grandma who dipped snuff and used a spitoon

LOL! One in every tree. I found a few while tracing my ancestors. Visited their graves in VA. Found another who fought in the Revolution. Still trying to find his grave.

I honor their sacrifice.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Well sometimes good people can make wrong decisions. I dearly loved my grandma, but she always used 'The N Word' up to the day of her death.

There are good points about the confederacy, it wasn't near all black and white, and good people fought on the side of the South. But having lived through some of the flag flaps in Georgia, I have plenty of contempt for the nuttier zealots on both sides. The most rabid cranks digrace, not honor, their heritage, and end up funneling all of the Confederacy into a narrow issue of race (regardless of intent.) Like it or not, fair or not, the rebel flag (in no small part due to these zealots) has become a symbol associated with racism and resistance to integration. May be unfair, the fact that it was hijacked and somewhat redefined by Democrat race baiters is galling, but that is reality. The rainbow flag is a pretty flag, but it has been hijacked by gay groups. Like it or not, that is reality.

I originally was against changing the GA flag, not wanting to give in to the Jesse Jackson types. But the actions of some of the flag-obsessed nut groups was equally disgusting, and I disavow any support for them. And while there are plenty of good people, who are NOT racist, who are supportive of this defiance regarding the flag for a variety of reasons(probably most often out of outrage at the tactics and attempts of the left/racebaiters), there are also way too many flag-obsessors for whom it is about race.

Clean house and these heritage groups would regain a voice, but right now myself and most Southerners want nothing to do with them.

[wimpycat]

I think there is a middle ground here. I think the flag issue is a silly issue, personally, especially since the flag these people are fighting for is just 50 years old this year. It was changed 50 years ago for politically motivated reasons (segregation, with a thin veneer of 'states rights') and it was changed in 2001 for politically motivated reasons (undoing what was done in the name of segregation). If the flag was the same flag they'd always had, or at least dating from the Civil War era, I'd feel differently about it.

I don't think of the Civil War as a black spot or a bright spot. It is a spot that shouldn't be unduly glorified, as if we can't get over the fact that we lost the argument and long for the "good old days", which weren't so good for most white people anyway, and good for no black people at all. But this period of our history also shouldn't be debased, ignored, "revised", or forgotten.

[wimpycat]

Hear, hear!
