Ah, the incredible power of symbols...

The flaggots are stupid, the Democrats are stupid, and Metro A-Town Rep's are historically crazy/stupid (The McKinney's). Don't they have anything better to do? Oh yeah, they do I forgot. The Georgia Legislature destroyed the private mortgage business in one fell swoop over the issue of "predetory lending".

sure is more fun carping about the state flag than it is to actually do something constructive, eh?
I mean, why solve the states' problems when you can cast slings and arrows at each other instead?

It is soooo much easier for democrats at the national level. All the black congressmen are step-n-fetchits who belong to the fully segregated Congressional Black Caucus and do EXACTLY what the white leadership orders them to do, from voting a straight party line to lying about whatever they are told to lie about.
Maybe some of these Georgia boys can borrow some of the sacred robes from Kleagle Byrd and get these folks back in line.

You have to laugh when the most important issue to a legislature is a flag. Not education. Not jobs. Not graft. Not the murder rate in Atlanta. A frenching flag for crying out loud.
"Yes maam, I'm sorry your son was gunned down in a drive-by shooting and your daughter is pregnant and can't pass 9th grade but I promise to fix that flag problem that has been making your life a living Hell". Irony is certainly ironic.

The flag was never an issue until the NAACP and the Democrat party made it one.

I don't know much about Georgia politics, but I can tell you that there is a growing split between the mindsets of hyper-urban areas from that of rural areas.
So it wouldn't surprise me to see this so-called "wedge" issue, which is nominally about a cloth flag design, to really be more about a backlash in rural and sub-urban areas to a power-play from Atlanta politicians that just about took over the entire state system.
But then again, that's just my guess. Who knows, people really might be willing to press an issue so hard that it breaks all of their political power, simply because they prefer one cloth flag design over another...

So the flag thing's tearing the 'rat party apart, eh? Gotta love it!
