No, I don't think I will. Please learn to not speak for others. It makes you seem arrogant.

Oh come now. Chief Chase was involved in two important decisions, both revolved around the right of him to cover his tail in his involvement in the 'recent unpleasantness'. I'll let you decide which two decisions these were.

The phrase "In God We Trust" was first placed on U.S. money, in 1864, by the U.S./Union Treasury Secretary, Salmon Chase

And considering he was the one that helped even create 'greenbacks' that's another thing he's got against him. Where was federal money before then? How did we get along without Federal Reserve Notes? Boy howdy, I'm sure glad Chase came along and saved us all!!

Perdue and the legislature wasted our money on this flag crap the entire session. Now we - the taxpayers of Georgia - are stuck having to pay for a special session so we can have a freakin' budget!

As far as I'm concerned, everyone under the gold dome can take a flying leap, from Sonny Perdue on down.

I'm no fan of the flag that King Roy foisted on us. I have always felt that the flag should have been changed to the pre-1956 flag in the first damn place. That flag has historical precedent, and would have satisfied all or nearly all parties involved. But as opposed to trying to stroke both sides in the flag flap, Perdue should have left the damn thing alone, considering that they don't have a budget, and that they may even have to take the step of curtailing state jobs. (Never mind that no one has had the bright idea of perhaps raising gas taxes, which are the lowest in the nation)

So thanks to Sonny the idiot, we have to pay out even more money that we don't have to cover a special session of the state legislature in order to hammer out a state budget!

Hell, if Ol' Sonny had come up with a white sheet on a stick, it would have fit, because not only is that what the taxpayers of the state are waving, but Sonny and the legislature waved the same thing before the two sides in the flag flap: The french flag of surrender monkeys.

The old NAACP actively encouraged white and other groups to join. Recently, I was checking out an article in JET magazine and there was a membership ad in there. It was a little inflammatory. It portrays Kwezi Emfume being arrested/hassled by police with something to the effect of 'old organization, new challenges'.

How sad. Why kick out the Indians? I do not understand. The Indians and Blacks have had a really close relationship in every way in this country. I guess the Indians and Asians are in the same boat as black foreigners... too conservative socially and not into the blame game.

Since it is somewhat lengthy to refer to those attempting to maintain the replacement of the original Georgia flag or of banning the flag/s of the Confederacy *the black militant ban-the-flaggers* as in the article, I propose a handier name for those anti-flag-choice force proponents.

Their negativism toward the traditional Georgia flag earns them a *No* for the first half of their description, while the flag subject of the debate follows that initial word with *flaggers, thus those individuals and organizations so described can be referred to henceforth as *no-flaggers*. That's at least a bit more convenient....

It is to your credit that you fail to fully appreciate the motivations of selfserving racists, just as you lack the culinary understanding of a cannibal.

"He promised that all voters would have a chance to decide on which state flag they prefer."

That's really the problem isn't it?

"this newest Georgia state flag will engender opposition not only from the Georgia atheists, agnostics and ACLU-ers ; but also from the black militant ban-the-flaggers."

Anybody else think it's time we just tell them to go to h*ll or STFU???

"When Graham was governor of Florida from 1979 to 1987, a Confederate national flag flew outside the Florida state house. But Graham said that was different."

Different only in that he wasn't kissing the butt of the NAACP then.

They will never be happy. They talk about this or that being unacceptable. Well, I am sick and tired of what THEY find unacceptable. I think THEY and THEIR agenda are COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!

"But he said he would rather see it in a museum."

I'd rather see the democrat party and the NAACP in a museum, but we can't always get what we want.

Sorry, SB. Don't mean to be ranting at you. I'm just really angry about this whole thing.

"IN GOD WE TRUST."

Change it to "IN ALLAH WE TRUST" and the idiots may be satisified, but I doubt it.

It is WAY PAST TIME that we on the right start telling these "political correct, race-baiting, hate America, MARXIST, 'wah, I want it MY way,' devil worshiping, idiots" to go to *ell and SHUT UP!!

Oh, and add to my 38, "We no longer give a rats @ss WHAT you are offended with. WE are offended by a LOT of your actions, but we just bite our tounges and say nothing.

"Well no more, cry-baby, we've had enough!

"Go ahead and boycott what ever you want, you're only hurting yourselves!"
