Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

The Georgia Legislature approved a new state flag Friday and removed any chance that the Confederate battle emblem could be restored to the state banner.

I would climb the pole and re-install the old flag. If this is where "they" want to make their stand, then this is where I will bury them.

Just a Texan's opinion.

I think the last proposal would have settled it. I think most Georgians would have viewed the new flag as a good compromise and be pleased that they had a vote on the old flag. The way the vote was going to be structured I think the odds of the old flag coming back were pretty low.

But now, with the trickery, the issue will never die, the old guard won't accept the new flag now and the NAACP won't accept it either of course, and a great many people will feel they have been manipulated and tricked. The divisiveness will increase, the NAACP may even boycott the new flag because it makes for good tv.

The only benefit to come out of this one will be the retirement of that godawful current flag.

If approved by the governor, the new flag will echo a Confederate national flag

It's still a Confederate flag. I don't understand why they don't just return to the pre-Confederate State Flag and be done with it.

as usual, the ELITIST legislators think their choice/views/morals are superior to that of the PEOPLE, who sent them to Atlanta!

60-75% of the PEOPLE want the post-1956 flag back as the official flag.

southrons,desendents & the common man WILL speak about this in the next election.
