True Georgia State Flag is based on
a Christian symbol
Some of
those who have followed the endless debate on the Georgia State
Flag will find the following information interesting. Have you
ever wondered why the politically correct have picked the Saint
Andrews Cross as their top priority target? There are two reasons;
one - it is Southern and two - it is a Christian symbol.
Of course
the liberal media will never print this information. Nor will you
get it from the Republican or Democratic Parties. They have both
had three years to discard political correctness run amok in
Georgia and give the People of Georgia the right to Vote on Our
State Flag, but have failed to do so. This year they have another
chance with the
Georgia Flag FAIR Vote Act - HB15. Will they support the
79% of
Georgians who want to Vote or will they pander to special
interests and the politically correct?
I hope
that you find this information interesting.
Jamaica Flag and St. Andrews Cross
Jamaica is an island country located in the
Atlantic Ocean, south of Cuba. Jamaica was a British colony for
over 300 years, from 1655 until 1962, when
it became an independent
country. The flag of Jamaica was
adopted on August 6, 1962. It consists of
a yellow diagonal cross with green above and below and black on
either side (these three
colors are Pan-African colors). The width
is twice the length, 3 x 6. The yellow in this flag represents the
sun. The green represents the land. The black represents hardship.
The Confederate Naval jack, commonly referred to
as the "Rebel flag". circa 1862, a
full 100 years before Jamaica became an independent nation. See any
similarities?
Now one must ask, why would a Pan African nation
like Jamaica, adopt the very exact
design of the Confederacy, 100 years after the fact, when this Pan
African nation declared its independence from British rule. In 1962
of all times? Do you think they adopted this symbol with out knowing
its roots? The truth is, the St. Andrews cross flag has always been
a symbol of independence, and defiance against tyranny. Ask the
Jamaicans what flag they hoisted up the VERY day they claimed
their independence from British rule. They will tell you, the St.
Andrews Cross.
Great Britain Flag include both a
Flag of Ireland and Scotland.

Do you see the St. Andrews cross in the
design of this flag?
Notice that both the Flags of Scotland and
Ireland were based upon the Saint Andrews Cross. How many Georgians
are of Scottish, Irish or English descent? Probably close to a
majority and their Heritage and History has been slandered by
political correctness run amok in Georgia.
St. Andrews Cross flown in
rebellion against Communist governments.
Remember Lech Walesa of the Polish shipyards many
years back and the labor union he formed called Solidarity? Guess
what flag they flew? Yep, the St. Andrews cross Rebel flag.
Guess what flag was flying in Tienamin Square in
China when the communists crushed the freedom movement? Yep, you
guessed it again, the St. Andrews cross Battle flag.
When the Berlin wall fell, what Flag was seen
being carried in the crowd? Yep, a Saint Andrews Cross Battleflag.
This flag has always been the symbol of defiance
against Tyranny. Nothing has changed in 140 years,
ask the Jamaicans.
Origins of Saint Andrews Cross
Saint Andrew was the first apostle of Jesus
Christ. Brother of Simon Pe![[Saint Andrew stained glass]](../../../elect/senate/flag/images/glass.jpg "35kb jpg photograph of Saint Andrew stained glass window; artist unknown; from Immaculate Conception Church, Earlington, KY; thanks Father Martin")
ter,
and follower of John the Baptist. He went through life leading
people to Jesus, both before and after the Crucifixion. Saint
Andrew was a missionary in Asia Minor and Greece, and possibly
areas in modern Russia and Poland. Martyred on a saltier
(x-shaped) cross, he is said to have
preached for two days from it.
There are
several explanations for why Andrew became the patron of
Scotland.
In 345, Emperor
Constantine the Great decided to translate Andrew's bones from
Patras to Constantinople. Saint Regulus was instructed by
an angel to take many of these relics to the far northwest. He
was eventually told to stop on the Fife coast of Scotland, where
he founded the settlement of Saint Andrew.
In the 7th Century, Saint Wilfrid brought some of the
saint's relics with him after a pilgrimage to Rome. The Scots
king, Angus MacFergus, installed them at Saint Andrew's to
enhance the prestige of the new diocese.
When the Pictish King Angus faced a large invading
army, he prayed for guidance. A white cloud in the form of a
saltier cross floated across the blue sky above him. Angus won a
decisive victory, and decreed that Andrew would be the patron
saint of his country.
Following
Robert Bruce's victory at the
Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, (the
final scene in the movie Brave Heart), the
Declaration of Arbroath officially named Saint Andrew the patron
saint of Scotland. The Saltier became the national flag
of Scotland in 1385.
If you watch closely right before the great
battles begin in the movie Brave Heart, you will clearly see William
Wallace's men carrying white square flags with a RED X in them. Just
like below.
Alabama and Florida Flags
Below are the current state flags of Alabama and
Florida. Ever seen these before?

The present Alabama
State Flag was authorized by the Alabama Legislature on
February 16, 1895, by act number 383. According to the Acts of
Alabama, 1895, the state flag was to be a crimson
cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars
forming the cross were not to be less than six inches broad and must
extend diagonally across the flag from side to side. The act does
not designate a square or a rectangular flag.
The
Florida state flag was
authorized by a joint resolution of the legislature in 1899,
approved by state voters in 1900,
made this the current State Flag the official banner of Florida. The
official specifications for the flag can be found in Chapter 15.012
of the Florida Statutes. "The State Flag shall conform with
standard commercial sizes
( very interesting that the Florida legislature put this
language into their bill. The 2003 Georgia House should take note,
and they could have avoided the same debacle over 6 foot flags that
caused them such great embarrassment), and be of
the following portions and descriptions: The seal of the state, in
diameter one-half the hoist, shall occupy the center of a white
ground. Red bars, in width one-fifth the hoist, shall extend from
each corner towards the center, to the outer rim of the seal.", ie.
a saltier.
So one must ask, why has society always included
this Christian symbol in their flags? The tired old argument of it
being a symbol of white supremacy just doesn't fly,
unless of course, Jamaicans are white supremacists?
The St. Andrews cross, a Christian
symbol, the symbol of truth, honor, courage, and defiance against
tyranny, and is never ending, ask a Jamaican. So why have you, the
citizens of the State of Georgia been denied the right to Vote?
The answer is sad but simple - the leadership of both the
Republicans and Democrats have caved into political pressure from
the politically correct, liberal papers and Atlanta Chamber and
ignored the People of Georgia.
Now is the time to support the
Georgia Flag FAIR Vote Act - HB15 and let the People Vote.
