Sorry, I'm still not getting this. You're either a part of the United States or you're not. You can't have it both ways. Why would you want to fly a flag indicating you're not? By your logic, if a state wanted to fly a Muslim flag or a Mexican flag, it would be Ok, because it's "up to the states to decide."Check out the state flags of Hawaii with the Union Jack, Mississippi with the stars and bars, New Mexico, Alabama with St. Andrew's cross, etc. Most state flags relate to their own unique history and not whether they are part of the US or not. It is all about federalism and the individual states which comprise the Union.

We have a welcoming committee meeting Senator Dodd today. I expect he'll see a lot of Confederate flags. We don't appreciate dam-yankees coming down here, and telling us what to do.

PS.. To be historically correct, Georgia's current flag is the Stars and Bars, and Mississippi's flag contains the Battleflag
