Georgia Bump!

Bike ride anyone!?

Barnes will easily prevail in this matter because many GA whites have turned "anti-Confederate." They either feel embarrassed about the legacy of their Confederate ancestors, but more probably they just want their "fair share" of the subsidies that come from state and national governments.

The biggest PR problem you guys have is that many outside the South associate the Confederate flag with the KKK and, ergo, racism. You guys need to work or re-educating the public and on speaking out to disassociate yourselve from the racists.

As long as the GOP sees "The Flag" as their #1 electoral issue in Georgia they will remain a minority in that state.

Go ahead, run on "The Flag" and when you get your butts handed to you on election day you only have to look in the mirror to find the reason why.

"The sound bite was fashioned spontaneously by the governor days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the months since, it has been found to work well with focus groups"

That statement so entirely stupid, and bereft of sincerity, that it makes me want to slap someone.

Frickin' Atlanta - a cancer on Georgia!

"The truth of the matter is, we only have one flag. It's the flag of the United States of America. I believe I'll stick with it," Barnes said...

Then what, pray tell, are you the governor of, freaky Mr. Barnes?

I love how they keep up the pressure on King Roy. He's probably the most protested governor in GA's history.

Y'know, I don't think I personally would've had a problem with them going back to the 1956 flag--it's certainly better-looking than that "let's please everydamnbody" monstrosity that they came up with. But really, what's got people up in arms, as much as removing the St. Andrews Cross itself, was the way in which it was done.

Barnes rammed this through almost like a Congressional pay raise--suddenly, without warning, and without enough public knowledge. He didn't want a referendum. Even though Georgia has been "Yankeefied" to the point where a referendum to change the flag might well pass, he didn't want to take the risk of a Mississippi. He didn't have enough trust in his own people to let them vote on the state flag.

Sometimes I wish there was a way that you guys over across the Savannah could carve metro Atlanta out and give 'em their own state, then move the state capital down to Savannah or Macon and let the rest of Georgia run itself without a couple million "damnyankees" (as Stand Watie calls 'em) clogging up the works. :)
