Kennesaw Georgia City Council passes "God Resolution".

[Fausto]

I swear, Southerners constantly bitch about being stereotyped by the rest of the world and then turn around and do stuff like this.

More than 100 people gathered shoulder-to-shoulder at Kennesaw's City Hall to cheer on their City Council as it passed a resolution supporting God.

The north Cobb County city that has long been a battleground in the culture wars fired another shot Monday after the council unanimously approved a resolution to "urge all American citizens to proclaim to every level of government . . . its responsibility to publicly recognize God as the foundation of our national heritage . . ." It follows similar action in metro area governments embroiled in disputes over Ten Commandments displays in government buildings.

Twenty-two years ago, Kennesaw passed a law requiring homeowners to own a firearm and ammunition. This time, the city of about 20,000 entered the debate over public recognition of religion in government -- on the eve of Election Day.

"I'm the one that started the proclamation, and have heard nothing but positive support" from citizens and council members, said Leonard Church, mayor of the city that is the site of a historic Civil War battle.

Others weren't so sure about that. Church's position is being challenged by Peter Norwood Popham, an exterminator company owner.

"This is nothing more than a political ploy to gather votes for [Church's] floundering re-election campaign," Popham said. "All of us without question love our God and many love our guns, but these are not the issues in [today's] city elections."

The resolution has nothing to do with politics, Church said. "I wish I could have done it last year," he said, adding the issue wasn't as urgent at the time.

Nah....the exact epicenter isn't known, but it's definitely east of GA. Somewhere in the AL/MS area.

Please differentiate between city dwelling Southerners (like myself... Austin rules!!) and the sheep shagging, "my pa is also my gran daddy", mullet sporting assholes who live in towns named after brands of ammunition. :beer:

Believe me, I know the difference since I live in Atlanta.

That was the Mayor I saw on the News this morning. I didn't have a link to put in the "Get rid of God" thread.

Not to be picky, but wouldn't it be quicker to go west?

I almost got Kennesaw City confused with Chickasaw County -- you know, where the Duke Boys were always gettin' in a spot of trouble. Then they had to jump the General Lee across a drainage ditch or whatever. And then Cooter and Skeeter and Boss Hog had to chase 'em down. But I digress... I especially like how Kennesaw officials have a long and inspired tradition of forcing people to do things:

At least, we're perfectly clear where they stand on the "God Issue." Don't want to be ambiguous about that, do we?

I think I'm the only one down here that does not like Nascar. I was flipping through the channels Sunday afternoon in an attempt to watch a different football game. Just the one game + Golf(Woo Hoo!) + A marathon(even better Woo Hoo!) + and a sport where men drive around a circular track in cars that run the same speed with brief glimpses of barechested drunks in the stands (DaYuM!)

Actually, the setting for the "Dukes of Hazzard" has been the subject of some debate. There is no "Hazzard County" per se. Some observers of the TV show place this fictional county in Georgia near Conyers county.

Viewers often confuse the show's setting with Hazard, (Perry county) Kentucky, which is situated in the Southeastern Kentucky coalfield.

I think it actually was filmed in and around Covington, GA for the first few eps and then in CA.

Gah.....WTF is with the double-posts lately?

 

[EXman]

So you are bigoted against southerners because you do not share their beliefs?

News Flash- The Devil Went Down to Georgia: Kennesaw City, Georgia, was destroyed today when an annoyed Satan sent a flock of demons to level the city. The unlucky citizens had apparently passed a resolution supporting God, and The Prince of Darkness was not amused. Reached for comment, Mr. Satan said: "You do and do and do for people, and this is the thanks you get. Lets see if I ever help the KKK out again."

Cherokee County not far from Kennesaw voted to display Two Stone Tablets of the Commandments along side the other Historical Documents tonight.

----------

Georgia

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through
the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" Inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant. "I have made some lands abundant in water and other
lands parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot and while this one will be very cold
and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land mass and said, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God. "That's GEORGIA -- the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, streams, hills, and forests. The people from GEORGIA are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be
known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in ATLANTA."

I'm Texan, so no, I am not bigoted against southerners. I just cannot stand close minded inbred backwater hicks, regardless of where they are from, there just happens to be a lot of them around here if you happen to venture a few miles outside of a major city.

Your not a Southerner, your a Texan.

Well assuming you come from here.

Texas was the greatest Mexican state, the greatest Confederate state, and is definately the best state in the Union.

Texas > all other states.

We are more American than the rest of America.

Viva Tejas!!!

That being said the God and Guns thing sounds good to me living in Corpus Christi, Tx.

The stars at night are big and bright...(Clap) (Clap) (Clap)

All I can say is I'm glad we had a Texan in the white house when 9-11 happened. A little better response then the good old boy from Arkansas when the first WTC bombing occured.
