What do the recent polls in Georgia say? Do voters like the new flag? Or do they want a chance to vote upon which design they want as their state flag? Anyone?

Having been born, raised, and still living in Georgia after almost 40 years, I for one like the present flag. I have Confederate soldier descendants, and am very proud of my heritage. I have been to Sons of Confederate Veterans meetings. I know some that are deadset on changing back to the '56 flag.

There are many other more important issues for us to deal with in Georgia, and I wish that these 'flagnuts' would go away. When people find out that I am a 'War between the States' buff, they always think that I also am for changing the flag. Not all of us chew tobacco and do the 'hambone'.

Clearly you did not read all the thread, which I don't blame you as it is now pretty long, but the there are more important issues sentiment has been addressed at length. I suggest you look back.

Also, your reference to tobacco and the "hambone" is as stereotypical and bigoted as the recent reference to trailer parks. I feel sorry for you. It must be hard going around all the time loathing who you are. Having bought the lie of the enemy.
