I Know What HOCO Needs Most; A New Flag!

[Sirex]

The old flag is racist, misogynistic, multiphobic, and antidentite. It's about time it gets changed to something more inclusive. Hopefully those racists also include input from native Sasquatch Americans as well.

That triangle is "the Golden Triangle," formed by Baltimore, Washington, and either Frederick or perhaps Annapolis. The shopping center at 29 and 40 is called the Golden Triangle Shopping Center.

The flag goes back to the 1960s at least.

Please don't tell anyone, but the red and white Crossland portion of the flag was the flag used by Maryland Confederates. It has a very strong Confederate association, and was widely used on emblems worn by Maryland regiments in the Confederate Armies.

I have little doubt that was known to the flag's designer. Apparently the flag was designed around the time of the Civil War Centennial, when a pleasant and dreamy haze of Romanticism had decended over the awareness of that war.

The Maryland Unionists used the black and gold Baltimore colors. The Maryland flag used today was designed in the 1880s, and called the Reconciliation Flag. This was the period when the people who had lived through the conflict made a determined and deliberate effort to overcome the bitterness and pain and to reunite the nation.

Of course, when they realize that, the suicidal maniacs of today's Left will have to "cancel" the Reconciliation Flag which has become so popular on recent years.

The black and gold bend dexter counterchanged of the Barons Baltimore was used in the flags and devices and pinned on the uniforms of Union Army regiments in the Army of the Potomac. After the war, Marylanders who had fought on either side of the conflict returned to their state in need of reconciliation.

We can't have ANY of that!

Howard County flag history -

“Howard County Flag​

Howard County's official flag was chosen from among forty entries in a contest sponsored by The Central Maryland News. This winning entry was submitted by Jean O. Hannon (Mrs. Phillip A.) of Howard County and described as "a red and white design which incorporates part of the Maryland flag." Added to this, on the first quarterly, a sheaf of wheat in gold symbolizes the agricultural heritage of the County (The Ellicott and Carroll families were responsible for the agricultural change from tobacco to wheat which affected the entire County). In the fourth quarterly a green outline of the county is set in a triangle of gold symbolizing the unique position of Howard in the future development of the eastern seaboard.

Judges for the contest included the three County Commissioners, Harry T. Murphy, Alva S. Baker and Charles E. Miller; the two Circuit Court judges, James Macgill and T. Hunt Mayfield; the Superintendent of Schools, John E. Yingling; and the three legislators, Senator James Clark, Del. Hugh Burgess and Del. Edwin Warfield. The flag was presented to the Howard County Commissioners on September 19, 1968 and was raised on the flag pole in front of the Court House by Commissioner Murphy.”

What does sexual preference have to do with the flag design?

Honkey cracker straight males need not apply.

Let's not forget that the Crossland Flag was well associated with Maryland Confederate units in the War between the States, and THAT may be part of the drive to "change.'

"Crossland Banner", used by pro-Confederate Marylanders during the American Civil War.



The red and white cross bottony counterchanged had gained popularity during the American Civil War. Maryland had remained loyal to the U.S. despite a large proportion of the citizenry's support for the Confederacy, especially in the central city of Baltimore, the counties of the southern part of the state, and the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Those Marylanders who supported the Confederacy, many of whom fought in the Army of Northern Virginia of Robert E. Lee, adopted the Crossland banner (seen as "secession colors") and often used a metal bottony cross pinned to their gray uniforms or caps (kepis). The black and gold bend dexter counterchanged of the Barons Baltimore was used in the flags and devices and pinned on the uniforms of Union Army regiments in the Army of the Potomac. After the war, Marylanders who had fought on either side of the conflict returned to their state in need of reconciliation.

The present design, which incorporates both of the coats of arms used by George Calvert, began to appear officially after the Civil War. The flag in its present form was first flown in Baltimore, on October 11, 1880, at a parade marking the 150th anniversary of the founding of Baltimore (1729–1730). It was flown again on October 25, 1888, at the Gettysburg Battlefield during ceremonies dedicating monuments to the Maryland regiments of the Army of the Potomac by reorganized regiments of the former state militia, now the Maryland National Guard.

The flag was not officially adopted as the state flag until 1904. The present flag is symbolic of the reunion of all the citizens in the state and is represented through the colors of the flag.

but also notice the Cross Botany at the top of the flag...
