The Georgia state flag has been a big controversy for the past few years. The state legislature, under pressure from race warlords and, of all organizations, the NCAA decided to change the flag to the Bland Ol' Flag, aka "the blue one." Then, the rednecks got bent out of shape. It seemed they really liked that old rag they adopted in 1956 (integration, etc.) that was likely intended to be more inflammatory than they would like to admit in the Georgia history class they make all of the 8th graders take. So, they elected the first republican governor since Reconstruction, likely because he promised to let the people vote on the flag issue. The funny part is that the flag the 'necks were so fond of was not a choice, at least funny to me. The "choices" were the aforementioned blue one and the current flag that won.
Now the really funny part.
The people who obviously have nothing better to do than have meetings on the Capitol steps about how pissed off they are about not having the old flag back are still at it. There was a demonstration yet again, this time led by some elected official who desires the same thing these other bigots want (and it has nothing to do with "heritage" as they often proclaim). The funny part is likely missed by most. Why? Because they don't really know their history. What do I mean? Well, all I have to say is compare this and this.
Sit down, shut up, get a life.
