#1 "The new flag is done for a foreign agenda and we won't raise it,"

How about producing one for an all-inclusive Iraqi agenda and removing the sectarian "allahu Akhbar" from it?

#2 Bribe us and massage our egos more, and then we'll consider it.

I'll bet that if the troops handed the new flags out to the households when they poke their heads in to visit, the problem would go away. Of course, that would make the officials lose face...

#3 "The new flag is done for a foreign agenda and we won't raise it,"

Same thing we said a few years ago when they took the stars and bars off down in Georgia, whahahaha.

#4 Besoker, that was the battle flag they took off the state flag. It now contains the CSA flag which is actually the stars and bars.

#5 I for one find the Alabama flag offensive it looks like a nasty cross between the Cross-of-St. George and the CSA battleflag. It miffs me badly. I prefers the state-seal centered (no Frank) on a bedsheet look.

Where you live? You sound like a transplanted Yankee to me.

#9 By the way, just in case you don't know, I'm a lifelong Alabamian, and the flag is history, not hate.

#10 Sounds like B. H. Obama has friends in Anbar.

#11 Thomas Woof's family has been in the old part of Florida for a great many generations, Redneck Jim. They've left interesting footprints on the local landscape. Do be polite.

I'll be just as polite to Woof, as he is to me.

#16 Matter of fact I do indeed own an Allis Chalmers, it's an antique 1936 model "C" in running condition. (Overhauled it myself, new paint and new decals)

Didn't think about a flag to find it in the mall parking lot. (Funny) However it does draw a crowd when I take it to the County Fair.

#17 She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy ...

Likeable song.

#18 RJimmy, I find the Alabama flag one of the most singular around. I keep thinking Dothan is Episcopalian.

OT: Never met anyone from Alabama I didn't like.
