Your post #110 is purely speculation ("it is highly likely" is your opinion, not something you can back up with hard data.)
The "real" Georgia flag was the pre-1956 flag. The 1956-2001 was tainted by spite, as well as the fact that the battle flag has been used as a racist symbol, and the 2001 flag was tainted with political correctness, not to mention that it was about the ugliest flag in the U.S.A.
If you love the "old" Georgia flag so much, why isn't it on your FR homepage?
After the election there was a tremendous amount of interest in it. It was well studied. I did read somewhere a well researched study that suggested the flag and teachers had been decisive. I just don't know the exact source of the article, so I did not site it. But I was not purely speculating.
I take it you are recent to this thread. I have addressed the "flag is tainted" issue at length in several posts. Besides, what is wrong with spite? We need a lot more spite these days in my opinion, and a lot less caving in.
I was not aware the '56 flag had been changed on the Georgia page. The topic has actually been debated on threads and changing it to the new flag was always shouted down by much greater numbers favoring the '56 flag. If it has been change then shame on FR for caving in to PC. Is there no sanctuary from PC?
