Anyone offended by that, no matter what their belief system, needs to seriously examine themselves.

A Pierce County woman made the complaint, which reads in part: "I was offended that I have to be 'prayed over' by a license plate... What happened to keeping church and state separate?"

If she was offended by the plate, she should be required to testify at the hearing as to what rights of hers were violated by the plate, and why she should have the right/power to restrict what another taxpayer can have on a vanity plate that the taxpayer paid extra taxes to have. If she cannot be bothered to testify at the hearing, then her complaint should be dismissed and the plate renewed.

We tracked down the woman who lodged the complaint, and she declined an on-camera interview. She says frankly, she's dismayed the state didn't keep her complaint anonymous.


She's dismayed the state didn't keep her compliant anonymous, but I bet she'd be one of the first to be screaming if the state tried to keep some other data anonymous.

Since when does she "have to be 'prayed over' by a license plate". She doesn't have to do anything except go on her merry way and ignore it.

All License plates in Tennennesse say "In God We Trust" right on the bottom of the plate in great big letters that cannot be missed.

Assuming this person is a far leftist, then the far left is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Please God, let Howard Dean and his ilk keep up the "blame America first/I hate Christians/think everyone in flyover country is a moron" strategy.

But someone found the Bible verse offensive and now the state is deciding whether she can keep the plate.

Shouldn't the state instead be deciding whether the "offended" party should be thrown out of the state?

Oh boy, one of those people that just go around waiting to be offended by something. I think they need to publish her name, home phone, and address so everyone can let her know how much she offended them by bringing up this complaint.

Don't you just love the "TOLERANCE" from these idiots? For all the preaching they (the looney left) do on tolerance, they are the most intolerant people I've ever experienced.

You ass. Never mind the "separation" BS, that's another issue. This is this PRIVATE WOMAN'S choice.

"What happened to keeping church and state separate?"

Two questions for this leftist troll:

Where in the Constitution does it say that there must be separation of church and state?

How would what someone has on their personalized license plate even come close to violating the nonexistant church-state separation law in the first place?

Could someone please point out to these idiots that neither the Constitution nor the Amendments to the Constitution guarantee that they "shall not be offended"!

Yep, the right to not be offended goes to the next logical step. What happens when the Righteous Right is prevented from carrying their Bibles in public. At that point, will they realize their "right to not be offended" has been taken to far.

(Note: My use of the term RR does not mean all Christians. It only refers to those with Fascist tendencies.)

I don't see why someone that does not believe in the Bible would be any more offended by that vanity plate than by one that said CLANCY LVR.

"I will defend to keep it based on free speech," she said.

Screw the free speech. She needs work on correct speech.
