Graham said that the "Stainless Banner" Confederate flag that was on display...The "Stainless Banner" is as black as sin.

And this latest in new state flags is already in trouble, because it has the wording "IN GOD WE TRUST."
That led Democrat Representative Thomas Bordeaux to declare: "The Church is the place to advertise God, not the government."
Oh, please do. Please. Go ahead - tell everyone in Bible Belt GA how much you hate the word God in public. And while you are at it, tell them God should be out of the pledge too. Keep at it, after all, the reason the Democrats lost last year is because the country didn't understand what the Demos stood for. Right? RIGHT?

If the 'stars and bars' are racist then the 'stars and stripes' are as racist, even more so. NAALCP needs to be out to pasture like a lame race horse. Their actions are undoing all the good the NAACP of days gone by have done. Does anyone respect the NAACP anymore? I don't.

The phrase "In God We Trust" was first placed on U.S. money, in 1864, by the U.S./Union Treasury Secretary, Salmon Chase. What a tizzy the neo-Confederates will have when they learn that the slogan on their new Georgia state flag originated with, not a rebel, but a patriot -- one appointed by Abraham Lincoln.

The wife thinks Georgia should adopt the checkered flag as the state flag, says it would promote racial harmony (get it?) since it's got the black & the white, and hell everybody likes to drive fast. Also suggests eliminating the speed limits in the state - on the same bill. Fine woman.

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.

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....

"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!!!!!!

"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!!

A Confederate national flag flew outside the Florida statehouse throughout Graham's two terms as governor, from 1979 to 1987, but Graham said that was different. The flag, with the controversial cross emblem in one corner of a white field, flew from 1978 until Gov. Jeb Bush, a Republican, removed it in 2001 Bush quietly removed the Confederate flag and the three other foreign flags from the Florida capitol grounds in February 2001. He said at the time, when other Southern states were embroiled in flag controversies, that he was not responding to protests but wanted to avoid divisiveness.
It interesting what the article you posted didn't say, isn't it?
To: stainlessbanner
I find it ironic that anyone would support the first Confederate National flag, over the Confederate Battle flag. Why aren't they both equally abhorent?

I have said it before and I will say it again. Does our state government and the representatives have nothing better to do? I think they do. They need to let the "people"
of GA vote and be done with it. The naacp and their ilk have nothing better to do than complain util they get what they want. Regardless of what the majority want. And yes, I have lost all respect for the naacp and the term racist every time it is thrown around like loose change.

Isn't Georgia the state that was originally settled by convicts? I seem to remember my American History class saying it was. Maybe they could use that Community Chest "Get out of jail free" card as their flag. It's already the right proportions and all.

I propose that the State of Georgia adopt the White Flag of Surrender. It stands for peace and love and please don't hurt me! Who could possibly object?
