"South Carolina and New York bed buddies with Europe? They can't even get along between the two of them! And South Carolina, I'm pretty sure, would rather die than join the European Union. It was South Carolina who seceded first in the Civil War."

Ya damn straight! Hold on to yer Confederate dollars. The South will rise again!
And if you think there aren't really people like this here.... Two of my mom's neighbors have rebel flags flying in their yards. She lives waaay out in the country, though.

South Carolina State House still flies the Battle Flag, Alabama's flag is based on the same Rebel flag, as is Florida's, Georgia had it explicitly in the flag until 2001 and Mississippi still does. Hell, for all I know, they might be arming already, what with a black president about to be inaugurated...;P

Hey..SC has made progress... They took the Rebel flag from on top the Statehouse and placed it by the the Confederate Soldier Monument on the grounds. It's so much less conspicuous this way. ;-)
Blue States Vs Red States
They should just rename this country to The Divided States of America.

LOL...no worries Serry.
And Joxer....if you DARE to start calling me after Star Trek I WILL find a way to get back over there for the express purpose of kicking your butt from one end of Porthleven to the other!
Of course, if you want South Carolina and such (as Erin pointed out) as part of Europe...PLEASE take them! You'd be doing the rest of us a favor! LOL
Just kidding of course! *winks*

A great way to make is seem like your country is superior than another county is by coming up with this crap. Russia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, even more corrupt than the US. This guy is getting a lot of attention, though. CNN ran a story on the guy. But heck, it is CNN.

They are derived from the cross of Saint Patrick and that of Saint Andrew. Saint Patrick is the patron of Ireland. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland. The stars and bars battle flag was insipired by the cross of Saint Andrew and Saint Patrick not the other way around. The Scotch-Irish were the predominate settlers of the southeastern US. Their manner of speaking along with the manner of speaking of the black slaves is the reason that the 'southern accent' exists.

I'm just glad the Rebel flag or anything resembling it isn't in our flag.

[/QUOTE] You're the ignoramus here, as it was the Confederate Battle Flag that was based on the Cross of St. Andrew, and the other two that were based on the Confederate Battle Flag. This flag was only adopted in Alabama in 1895, Florida in 1900. Nearly every source confirms the inspiration for the flag as being the Confederate Battle Flag. So yes, the origin you named is true...for the Confederate Battle Flag; the two state flags are based on that.
