Spotted at a NASCAR event

Anybody notice the stars and bars flag screen in the back window of the truck.  Surely the the owner is racist.

Sorry, guys, but you evidently do not know your flags.  That is NOT the Stars and Bars.

What you see is the Confederate Battle flag based on St Andrew's cross



The Stars and Bars was the first official Confederate flag and was based on the US flag and looks thus.



It came in several variations including 9, 11 and 13 stars.

The Battle flag was adopted after 1st Manasses because of the possible confusion on the battle field between the Stars and Bars and the Stars and Stripes.

 CURRENTLY the Georgia is based on the Stars and Bars......not the Battle flag.



From 1956 till 2001 Georgia did use the Battle Flag as pictured below.



We won't talk about the twilight zone from 2001 to 2003

Interesting that all the acts suggested to foul the building and running of a Mosque would also work for a Synagogue.

Both worship the God of Abraham, as do other religions.

Alf, thanks for the correction and information.  I used the term stars and bars as that is what I have heard the confederate flag referred to and I was too lazy to type confederate.

 Before any one gets on my comment that "surely the owner is racist" I was just trying to be sarcastic.  I would be certain though that there are people out there that would see the confederate flag rear window screen and the 9-11 tailgate scene and label the owner as racist.

And for Pete's sake Alf, don't tell too many folks that the current Ga flag resembles another flag of the Confederacy .......or Georgia will have another long, drawn out affair to change it too.

So it seems the "Stainless Banner" became the 2nd Naval Ensign.

It is always good to point out that the "Battle Flag" did not represent a slave based economy, it represents an Army that fought like hell with nothing but guts and brilliant leadership.

What happens if some illegal imigrants build it but not up to code and it falls in on them during worship. Is that called what they call poetic justice.

Heritage not hate. And I'll actually belive that if he's from the South. Stars and Bars with a Georgia plate, I've got no problems. Stars and Bars on one from Indiana? I'm looking at you funny.
FQ13 a Southern boy.

My front license plate looks like this:



I put it on there not so much as 'southern thang' but more as a sort of 'protest' to the elected officials who changed the state flag, with total disregard for the will of the people, and more for PC catering.

3 Religions are considered "People of the Book" and trace their beliefs back to "The God of Abraham"
Jew, Christian, and Muslim.
The only one where it serves as more than a "Back story" is Judaism.
It is relatively irrelevant to Christian and Muslim, since their actual practices are laid out in the "second volume" (Bible for us, Koran for them ) and have no connection with the Old Testament.
