Just another sign that america is no longer a great nation.

Not that the NYDVMV would actually do this, but that they and the individuals responsible are able to get away with it.

What about Freedom of Speech - you know, the right to wear shirts that say “America %^#$^” or the right to desecrate an American Flag, or the right to produce obcenities against religion which are tolerated, while this is not?

Like I said, the REAL shame is that they are allowed to get away with this.

That is an excellent point.

Of course, this flagrant double standard derives from the fact that leftists are persuaded that "unpopular beliefs" need special "protection"; whereas mainstream beliefs can safely be flouted.

Conveniently for those who proclaim this dogma, in practice it translates roughly to this: Far-left views and attitudes must be tolerated--even encouraged--regardless of whose sensibilities are offended by them; whereas traditional beliefs are always fair game.
