Georgia Republican event in Ringgold
flagged ...
Last week your Rebmaster just happened to be driving down Battleground
Parkway and stopped in at the Colonades. The timing was great, got there
just before guests started arriving for a fairly expensive
Georgia Republican supper.
Since I did not have enough money to buy one of these expensive
suppers, just grabbed the handy dandy chicken suit from the back suit and
joined the festivities. It was not very long before Georgia State Flags
and chickens were all over the place. A perfect welcome for the soon to be
arriving Republicans.
Afterall, 75% of the elected Georgia Republicans supported the very
American principle of letting the people vote on the Georgia State Flag.
Georgia State Flag supporters were responsible for electing the first
Georgia Republican governor since Reconstruction and eliminating the
expected benefits of the Democratic redistricting. We figured that it
would be very interesting to see how these fairly well off Georgia
Republicans expressed their appreciation for our support last year.
For the most part the arriving guests were friendly, some stopped by to
chat a bit and one of my State Reps even recognized me in the chicken
suit. But there was another side to the Georgia Republicans attending
also:
The
most arrogant and quite literally hostile babbling idiot was Mr. Jay Neal.
Some may remember this man who ran for House District 1 and lost to flag
supporter Mike Snow, over and over again. Saying he was loud and obnoxious
would be a compliment. Was interesting how he lied, standing there loudly
telling everybody that Sonny did not say what everybody in the State knows
he said. He also kept getting his wallet out and offering a $100.00, then
when his questions were answered responding with an insult and putting his
wallet up. This man needs a counseling session with his pastor and I would
suggest that they should study Chronicles II 7:14. Humble is not in his
vocabulary and lying and gambling seem to be an obsession.
Another short and somewhat chubby man stopped by and began yelling
about Iraq. He
seems to believe that anyone who dares question Georgia Republicans on any
issue are the hired guns of Saddam. But he also thought that Sonny was up
for election next year, so you can tell that he is very well informed. I
asked him about the seven Republican Alabama associate judges who removed
Judge Moore and he yelled that I should go to Iraq. I asked him about the
7 GOP appointed Supreme Court justices and he yelled that I should go to
Iraq.
With the exception of Herman Cain, most of the big name Georgia
Republicans no showed. Overall I was disappointed in the Georgia
Republicans. They have been presented with an unexpected opportunity to
govern in Georgia and for the most part they are beginning to act the same
as the Democrats did. Party over Principle. Shame, Shame, Shame.
But while the Georgia Republicans are slow in smelling the coffee,
they are only hurting themselves. The response across the State is
growing. More yard signs are coming, more Activism Seminars are being
scheduled and even more Sonny "Chicken Little" Perdue suits are ready.
How many corrupt and politically correct politicians have to be
retired before the People of Georgia get to vote? To be determined!
Anyway, flagging reports follow:
| Report
By Elijah Coleman
Gentlemen,
Today and tonight a huge
gathering of N. Georgia Republicans gathered at the Colonade in Ft.
Oglethorpe, Georgia with their $250.00/plate sponsors. They let
us heritage soldiers know up front that we were welcome in this flag
friendly territory. However, we did not see Perdue The Liar enter
this grand gathering opportunity to proliferate his BS.
Therefore, since this is at least the sixth flagged event he has
failed to show up, we must be getting to him. He certainly hasn't
forgotten the flaggin' he received from us this Tuesday in Bremen,
GA.
The police were just perfect in giving us our freedom, and appeared
to be in support of the Peoples' Georgia State flag. Channel 9 TV in
Chattanooga covered our colorful Perdue The Liar protest for about
an hour. Coming up the street to the Colonade, there were Georgia
flag poles lining the street, also there were "Sonny Lied" signs
spread out and 5 poles with Foghorn Leghorns on top with signs such
as: Perdue Is Another Barnes, One RAT Gone, One CHICKEN Going,
Perdue -- Spineless and Fowl. When the cars approached the
entrance, they saw Georgia flag supporters everywhere. Even
children were on the line repeating "Sonny Lied" to each car. I
was so glad to see so many Georgia flag supporters waving our flags,
including Rodney Waller, Jimmy Rogers, Bill Oliver and about four
young flag wavers, Mike Crane and friend, Lum Phillips, and Bruce
Lyle with me. It was great to have the TV crew out filming this
flaggin' while all the wealthy contributors were arriving. They
know the Georgia flag issue is very much alive.
So although we didn't get the 43rd Perdue the Liar flaggin' today,
we were very successful in getting our fight on the TV news with our
flags surrounding the background and in getting our message to these
wealthiest families in N. W. Georgia. We couldn't buy this prime
time coverage. Bruce and I enjoyed every minute of it and discussed
it on the way back to the Hellanta area. Join us next time.

Protesters Shake Their Flags at Governor
Perdue

Story by

Elijah Coleman was glad the rain stopped in Georgia, but
says he would have showed up for Republican Governor Sonny
Perdue's scheduled appearance at the Georgia Republican
gathering... rain or shine.
That's because he's on a mission.
"Our main goal is to educate the public about who the
turncoats are and who the enemies are," says Coleman.
Coleman is part of a group that calls themselves the
"flaggers." They say Republican Governor Perdue promised a
vote to allow the old confederate state flag back in
Georgia... but never delivered on his word. So, Coleman and
his fellow flaggers are following Governor Perdue.
The flaggers say they have flagged Perdue 42 times,
it would have been the 43rd time if the governor had shown
up.
Coleman argues the confederate flag represents
Southern heritage, not slavery.
"The U.S.A. flag flew for 89 years over slavery, it
flew over the slave ships that brought the slaves over here,
so why would this one be more offensive to anybody than the
U.S flag," he says.
But, politicians who attended the gathering at the
Colonnade say the protester's priorities are out of order.
Bill Adams, with the 10th district Republican party
argues, "There's a time and a place for everything without
having to make an idiot of yourself. they should go to Iraq
and defend their country the right way, then they'll know
what to protest about."
But, Coleman says he's anxious for the next flagging
of Governor Perdue.
The Governor couldn't be reached for comment,
but Georgia Republican politicians
who attended the meeting at the Colonnade say the protesters
won't effect whether Perdue gets re-elected in 2003.
