In reply to the discussion: Justices struggle with free speech case over license plates [View all]7962
(11,841 posts)49. NO. But this is a question of the state sanctioning something. Your flag isnt state sanctioned
But with the confederate flag, i guess if the court allows it, then you could pretty much force them to make up ANY kind of plate? I kind of look at it like prayer; if you let one group use the school for meetings, then you're going to HAVE to let every group use the school whether you like it of not.
The flag doesnt offend me, I uust think its funny that so many want to identify with the losing side. Not to mention that losing the war was the best thing that couldve happened to the South, IMO. i just dont think the states should be picking and choosing on the subject. I think there's a difference between those types or plates and wildlife type plates that raise money for the state.

As I mentioned above, this is about the state sanctioning something, not what YOU say.

I would think that the Sons of Confederate Veterans are dead. Who are these assholes that are suing?

If the neo-confederates win does this mean neo-Nazis can have a swastika plate?
