Not me. It's looks like something from a Muslim country.

[GeronL]

Thats not such a bad looking flag

[Paul C. Jesup]

You missed my point. Also, you do realize that the current Georgia flag is a update version of both the Georgia Confederate Flag and the Official Flag of the Confederate States of America.

[claudiustg]

Is Atlanta really a Southern city anymore?

[EGPWS]

I like this flag

What was wrong with the replaced flag? That one looked good too!

[Afro_conservative]

No it doesn't what Muslim country are you talking about? This flag is nice and simple.

[GeronL]

UM. Guys.

If you take that thing off the blue field and put seven stars in a circle on the blue field....

YOU will have the first National Confederate Flag!!!!!!!

[Afro_conservative]

Its an update of the stars and bars but it isn't the battle flag. So whats your point and hurry up I can't take to much whining.

[spodefly]

Joe, I like you. But don't be badmouthing the new Georgia flag (which is the Confederate national flag modified.)

:)

BTW, this flag actually has the "G" word on it too.

[Afro_conservative]

It has "God" on it alright someone call the ACLU, the fire department and Jesse Jackson..wait make that Hillary Clinton, NOW and queer eye for the straight guy.

[kenth]

Being all about heritage, I would've thought a flag based on the the Confederate First National Flag would make everyone happy.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Its an update of the stars and bars but it isn't the battle flag. So whats your point and hurry up I can't take to much whining.

You're the one whining.

And actually the current flag is the type of stars and bars talked about in that old song.

Ummm...yep. That "thing" in the middle is a depiction of part of the State Seal of Georgia:

[GeronL]

This new flag should have made those Confederate-lovers happy.

[Afro_conservative]

You're the one whining
-Paul C. Jesup

sure commie

[Porterville]

Man that is queer, they will be the laughing stock from SC to the Amarillo border.

[Smokin' Joe]

Remarkable resemblance to the 'Stars and Bars' The Confederate National flag (if you remove the center device in the 'union'). Funny how the revisioninsts only recognize the battle flag, and not the flag of the CSA.

[wolficatZ]

"If they want to fly the stars and bars at home..."

 

The original Confederate national flag IS the "Stars and Bars". Shows how little people know about the history of the CSA flags around here.

 

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah it does. Look at that thing. It looks like it should be flying over some muslim shrine.

[GeronL]

The original had 7 stars.
