Georgia downsized, and then eventually removed a Confederate symbol from its state flag.

Yes and no.

They changed from the Battle Flag to this ghastly mishmash with the Southern Cross on as part of a series of tiny flags. The ensuing 'rebellion' lead to a rethink, and a referendum was held with the choice between the new nasty one, and a design closely based on the Stars and Bars (the first national flag of the C.S.A.), the people voting heavily for the Stars and Bars. In my personal opinion the S.&B. is one of the best flags around aesthetically speaking. This is hardly downplaying the Confederacy, more exploiting people's vexiological ignorance.

Yeah I am happy with our Georgia state flag, but not the way it came about with the last demoncrat governor barnes meddling in things, a committee came up with that eyesore flag that came before it, it was a concession to liberals who want their stupid minions to believe that a flag with a 19th century emblem is somehow detrimental to their present day lives...

YEP.

BUT the FACT that the GA scalawags changed the flag from one CSA flag to another CSAv design will NOT save "sonny the liar"'s JOB.

we descendants of the BRAVE CSA veterans will NEVER forget or forgive his promise to allow Georgians to vote to restore the REAL GA flag. NEVER!
