Your right, and the reb flag lost period. The flag debate is over in everyone's mind except for the flagers.

Not really. The current flag looks like the first national. Shhhhh..... don't tell the liberals.

The "reb flag" as you call it, never lost because the people never had a chance to vote for it. Scalawag Gov. Barnes changed the flag with a late night back room deal and hoped it would just blow over. It did not. He lost his job and Perdue won based on the flag, despite a huge monetary advantage for Barnes. (Barnes fancied himself a possible presidential contender, remember.) Purdue campaigned on giving the people a vote on the flag. A flag resolution passed both Houses of the Georgia Legislature that would have allowed a vote on the ugly Barnes blue flag and the real flag. When the bills went to committee for reconciliation, a third option emerged. It was a totally new design, the current flag. Then what emerged was a resolution that included only the Barnes' flag and the new flag. It did not include the '56 flag. It didn't include it because everyone knows it would have won. The PC and money before honor crowd won out over the will of the Georgia people. Then Sonny had the nerve to go around Georgia saying he fulfilled his campaign promise by giving the people a vote. That is a joke and everyone knows it.

Sprite518, what part of that sorry cowardly story could you possibly think was OK? Are you sure you want to throw your hat in the ring with the PC clan? If so, what exactly about yourself do you consider conservative. You sure aren't conserving heritage and the honorable cause of secession.
