If My Religion offends you, If my Heritage offends you, then I am happy about it.
I hope that I can offend you right out of MY country, the country that MY ancestors fought and died for

 

The Flag

I think I got it figured out
By Stephanie Watkins

 

After much pondering, I think I have the flag thing figured out.
Which Flag has flown over EVERY slave that was ever owned in the United States Of America?
Which Flag has NEVER flown over ANY slave?

     

The answer to the above questions are very obvious.

So, I think the REAL issue of the flag is of a Religious nature.
The '56 flag has the Religious symbol of the St. Andrews Cross which appears to be a real "no-no" for these people.
The proposed "new" flag for Georgia was to have the words "IN GOOD WE TRUST" in the white stripe.

Yet another "Religious" symbol "no-no"
So, the flag that "they" finally decided on for us was this, note the almost invisible words under the seal.


"The Perdue Banner"

 

Flags that, more than likely, flew over slaves in Georgia
The Georgia State Flag before 1879
1861-1863 Flag
Georgia Flag History As presented by the Secretary of State of Georgia

I think it very interesting that if you put the two flags mentioned above together, that more than likely flew over slaves in Georgia, you will come up with a basic Flag that looks very much like the "new" Georgia Flag, 2003 version. And the Flag that seems to have everybody up in arms was a Battle Flag, it flew over soldiers, not citizens

 

The issues,as I see them, of legality of "The Barnes Rag"
According to US CODE, No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America,
that is, the flag's own right. "The Barnes Rag", along with the State Seal being dominant of the US Flag, has the small picture of the US Flag on the left of all the other Banners. Directly against the US CODE.

US CODE

Sec. 7. - Position and manner of display

The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy....
