Why is the old Georgia flag still on FR?
commentary
Posted on 05/31/2004 3:39:28 PM PDT by BobbyBeeper
A few years ago I was a pretty regular poster to FR (under an old name, I changed names when I forgot my password.) I complained a few times that the flag used for Georgia profiles was the old GA flag that had the Confederate Battle flag in it. I was told that they had just not gotten around to changing it, or that they couldn't find a waving flag of the new version. Fine. I know changes take time.
But now we sit here 3 years (and two flag changes) since the GA flag was changed, and FR still has the old flag up representing GA. What gives?
Is there some reason FR isn't using the official GA state flag to represent GA? Liberals love to take pot shots at conservatives by calling us racists. Do we have to go out of our way to give them ammo?

I'll ping John Robinson to this thread. Only he can make the change you're asking for
To: BobbyBeeper
I like the new flag more, myself, though I liked the old one well enough too. Whatever the case, since the flag has changed the gif image obviously should get changed too IMO.

I don't see any reason to go out of our way to prove them right!

If it bugs liberals so, maybe I will put it on a sticker and place it on my bumper.
Just because libs says it's racist doesn't make it so.

But, if we give in, won't the terrorists have won?

Liberals need no excuses, nor ammo, to call Conservatives anything derogatory. It is congenital with Liberals.

BTW, the interim flag was quite ugly. I'm glad you guys didn't keep that. I wouldn't want my sense of aesthetics violated every time I pass through Atlanta.. =)

You have swallowed the BS that the flag is racist.

I don't see any reason to go out of our way to prove them right!This is simple. If you aren't a racist - it won't bother you. And if you are a racist then you won't care.

Well, I knew Clarence Thomas was going to ambushed [ for his confirmation ]when I heard Democrat Congressmen accuse him of having a Confederate Flag on the wall of his officee at EEO. The ignorant, vicious creeps did not know that it was the Flag of Georgia.
Like the bumper sticker says : Heritage, not hate.

That does it. I knew I was a racist - I just didn't know why. Thanks for pointing this out. A flag on FR has made me what I am. This is awful.
Would reparations help?
To: BobbyBeeper
I sure you think Catholics wearing rainbow sashes should get communion too... We will save the world; you hide.
