Dixie Ping - HK in FLA
I'm a Floridian and I support the right to such a plate. I should also add that I'm a "carpetbagger" from the North and many of my ancestors died fighting for the Union. However, the point is that this is part of our common national historic heritage. We've all seen how the PC brigade has sought to distort - even deny - U.S. history. By the way, I have a historical fact I can share that I know would truly astound many FReepers as well as most Americans -- about our Civil War. Anyone curious?
In the past I have fought for the right to display the Confederate flag but no more.
I've decided that history needs to be re-written to condemn all those that now use that flag for their purposes. It has become soiled and stained with hate and rage.
If you want it so badly on your car, paint it there, if you want it on your license plate, put it there, but don't ask the rest of us to fund a special plate for your entertainment.
These vanity plates were mean to champion good causes not lost causes.
