The State of Georgia is about half full of folks who ain't from around here. They are the ones fussing the loudest about what a waste of time all this flag business is. They never gave the old flag much thought until the Civil Rights Whores started agitating about it. They would much prefer to placate and appease and avoid boycotts. Bad for business, you know. Besides, "honor" is an old-fashioned concept that shouldn't apply to losers.
The way the changing of the flag has been handled sticks in my craw, and not just mine. A lot of people just ain't buying the whole 9 yards about the Confederate Battle Flag being the equivalent of the Nazi Swastika, the Confederate soldier was morally equivalent to the Waffen-SS, African slavery as practiced in North America was the most heinous atrocity ever perpetrated in the history of mankind, and all us guilty white folks owes all the black folks 138 years accumulated interest on 40 acres and a mule.
Slavery existed in the United States of America from 1776 to 1865, 89 years. Slavery existed in the Confederate States of America from 1861 to 1865, 4 years. What can be said against the Confederate Battle Flag that can not also be said against the Stars & Stripes? Did the Klan not wave the American flag, too?
The people agitating about how horrible the Confederate Battle Flag is have failed to convince several million Georgians that their great-great grandfathers were evil. They have also failed to convince anybody that if they get their way on the Georgia State Flag they will shut up about monuments, and cemetaries, and historical sites, and reenactments and public display of the Confederate Battle Flag.
