"Heart of Dixie" disputed on Alabama license plates (More Liberal Intolerance)
AL.Com ^ | 12/11/04 | PHILLIP RAWLS

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The state slogan "Heart of Dixie," a source of pride to some and embarrassment to others, is disappearing from more Alabama license plates every year.

One-third of the groups that promote distinctive and collegiate license plates now choose to leave the slogan off their tags.

The standard state license plate still has "Heart of Dixie," but it's reduced to letters one-sixteenth of an inch high and it's placed in the bottom corner of the tag where it's barely visible to passing motorists.

You talk of Dixie as if it's a person. It's an old, died out idea. Southern Culture can live on just fine without the "THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN" wackiness.

actually, a LOT of damyankees want to secede from "Jesusland", i.e. the RED states.

i will help them pay for our half of the fence, should they do so.

The south lost. Let's get the hell over it

If someone raped and murdered your sister and then your whole family, would you forget it?

I intend never to "forget" it. Especially when these commies continue to treat us like garbage every day.

I learned in school that as American citizens we have "freedom of speech and expression". So why are these plates even an issue?

Because communists believe that freedom of speech should only be reserved for themselves (Lenin actually professed this).

It's just 20 years behind on everything. Always has been, always will be. Not that it's always bad to be. It just it.

Kinda hard to get back on your feet when an invading army destroys entire portions of your country, burns whole cites to the ground (Atlanta), loots and plunders everything in site, then promises to rebuild everything (never does) and then ships what good jobs you have left to India, China, Mexico, etc. at the same time that you are demeaned constantly- religious zealots, jesusland, bible belt, right-wing nuts, rednecks, hicks, inbred, country bumkins, etc.

If it weren't for many of the northern states we would have a communist in office right now.

Texaggie, you seem to have some confusion between segregation and freedom of association. Forced segregation ended long ago, freedom of association is still legal. (at least for now)

Did you hear me say that it was FORCED segregation? Sure students can sit with whomever they wish. It wasn't illegal, what I saw, it was just sad. Plain and simple.
