Well, well, well. Once again there's hubbub and controversy over Mississippi's State Flag w/ the Confederate Battle Flag on it. For any who don't know, the State Flag has the Battle Flag in the upper right corner w/ horizontal bands of blue and white beside it and a band or red below all that. (Google it if you're still confused.) I get it that some folks are offended by this. May I offer my opinion on this? Thank you very much. We have many Flags that have flown over our proud state and are worthy of at least consideration to fly again. First offering I have is the Bonnie Blue Flag of The Republic of West Florida, which encompassed a considerable chunk of Mississippi. Baby blue field w/ a single blue star. Simple, yet elegant. My favorite candidate to satisfy enough people so we can all let it go is The Mississippi Magnolia Flag. I fly this banner at my own home, yes indeed, and nobody except me seems to have a bloody clue in Hell what it is. The upper right corner has a field of blue w/ a single white star. Taking center stage is a magnolia tree in full bloom on a white background. The left side has a vertical red stripe. (Again, Google it if you don't get it.)
It is a piece of our past which should make the "keep our history" faction happy. No Confederate imagery for the "it's a hater symbol" crowd. So it's win/win, right? Either that or Hell No, everybody's pissed off!
