For special scrutiny in traffic stops?

Love it! The problem is that every leftist in Florida would be keying your car and slashing your tires if you had one.

[CodeToad]

Excellent. My plates come due soon and I’ll order that one on multiple vehicles!

[Vigilanteman]

. . . as a battle cry for American independence, but its meaning has changed a lot since then.

No, NBC, it hasn't.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Virginia has had those for years.

“The problem is that every leftist in Florida would be keying your car and slashing your tires if you had one.”

So? Are you some kind of coward? This is a carry State and that includes things other than guns. They slash, we slash back!

The flag actually made a big comeback at the Tea Party rallies. The left has been trying to tie it to right wing extremists, terrorists, (and now insurrectionists) ever since. Just another alinsky-type attempt to isolate and polarize their opponents.

““I think I’d stick with the orange “

That plate looks like a pair of gay fuzzy balls.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Neither has the meaning of natural born citizen.

One can only be a natural born citizen if one cannot be anything else.

All those born with foreign nationality are NOT natural born citizens.

[CodeToad]

“Just another alinsky-type attempt to isolate and polarize their opponents.”

We break free of their stereotypes by continuing to use it despite their minority voice trying to insult it.

NEVER back down in the face of liberalism: DOUBLE DOWN!

“For special scrutiny in traffic stops?”

Outside of Miami and Melbourne, Florida has some pretty conservative cops.

Years ago when I was on a commuter bus traveling on the NJ Turnpike, a BMW tried to cut us off but wound up causing an accident and significantly damaging the BMW (the bus was relatively unharmed). Nobody was hurt.

The NJ Staties came onto the scene to do their thing. I overheard this exchange between the two cops:

It's gonna cost that guy a lot to fix his car.

Ah, he's rich...he can afford it.

Personal biases etc enter into countless decisions. The leftists already hate freedom and liberty loving folks. While I like the spirit, this plate is an invitation to a good keying.

[Jane Long]

Virginia has had those for years.

So has Texas.

And, we don’t worry about anyone keying our cars, for having them.

Don’t Mess with Texas….we carry.

[Restless]

“Polarizing”
Note how the media will never use terms like this regarding the rainbow flag, drag queens, pro-abortion laws, “climate change,” pretty much anything left-wing.

See also “controversial,” “causing outrage,” “divisive,” “bigoted,” and the list goes on.

Trump bumper strip, “Don’t Tread on Me” plate and an American Flag in the window of my truck will make a statement for sure!

[mewzilla]

Love this...

Remember Mar-a-Lago

Dave Elias should be shamed and ashamed for writing such gaslighting tripe!
