It's a long time till November. With no competition for the Republicans--interest will certainly wane. I don't think the country can afford another Republican administration. With a three trillion dollar war continuing and with McCain supporting it--I doubt he has much of a chance with an overwhelming majority of the population opposed.<BR/><BR/>As for your comments on the flag--check out the "flag" entry in the "New Georgia Encyclopedia." The old 1956 flag was entirely the creation of segregationists and had absolutely no historical foundation.CreamedHoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058783960066164463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273390.post-49876795535616681782008-03-05T20:22:00.000-05:002008-03-05T20:22:00.000-05:00THE NEW FLAG ACTUALLY IS VERY CLOSE TO THE "CONFED...THE NEW FLAG ACTUALLY IS VERY CLOSE TO THE "CONFEDERATE STARS AND BARS" the Stars and Bars had a wide red stripe over a wide white stripe over a wide red stripe. in the corner it had a blue field with stars representing each of the confederate states. The Battle Flag was placed on the georgia flag in a racist response to Brown VS. Board of Education in 1956. I contend that in the case of the georgia flag a symbol for states rights was corrupted into a racist symbol and I am glad it is off the flag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273390.post-22702741114500320052008-03-05T20:08:00.000-05:002008-03-05T20:08:00.000-05:00Im a civil war buff myself.

But i would really like to visit those places during the same season the battles took place.<BR/><BR/>Useta be plenty of stars n bars on ppl's vehicles, but you wont see much of that up north anymore. May as well be burning a cross. <BR/><BR/>Politics. There's a movie called Glory Road. It's about when WTexas won the NCAA hoops with all black players.

He privatized all the state jobs and now everything moves at a snails pace. He sold our Toll roads to a syndicate from Spain/Australia. Now he wants to raise our sales tax. Yes, you guessed it he's a Republican. He is a big Bush supporter. Most of our National Guard troops are in Iraq. If we had a crisis at home it would be very bad. <BR/>I'm all for Hillary Clinton her husband is right there laying next to her if she needs help. She won't have to be like Obama and call Jesse Jackson for advice. <BR/>I think the Stars and Bars are a proud symbol of the old south and only bigots find it offensive. <BR/>I do hope your White and Black cells get along and that you get better and get your Ass to WV real soon.

Indiana was a very neutral state on context. Personally i think the flag was a mistake to change it. <BR/>Now about our Governor, well I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, but when Purdue was in the House for GA he was a Democrat and also when he was in the Senate aswell. It wasnt until he switched Parties to run against Barnes that he turned Republican. So thats a little bit of History for you.<BR/> Now as far as Hillary and Obama go, I believe they are hurting the democratic party. Fighting it all out and I personally dont like Obama. But I prefer Clinton, but if she doesnt win the Nod, then I will have to switch Parties and Vote for McCain, as I just dont trust Obama. I would much rather have a Republican in office than Obama. I know I am weird and I guess thats what you get when you are a swing voter. Ok Thats my 2 cents on the issue.. LOL.. God I dont like politics but i will discuss them.
