Liberals should sport bumper stickers that say:
"I am intolerant of anyone who does not see things the way I do."

Really, how much is that per person in the state of florida? Less than $10.00 I'm sure. I'd gladly pay $10.00 to see all those idiotic plates vanish.
A confederate flag does not say bring back slavery. It's use today commemorates our ancestors who fought in a conflict over 150 years ago. I had a couple myself who fought under that flag. I would not buy the tag personally because I do not want to give the government anymore money than I have to but I respect those who wish to.
By the way, my Florida ancestors did not own slaves, they were far too poor to afford such.

No, mine would say " HEY REDNECK THE CIVIL WAR IS OVER, IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON"
Ah yes, it commemorates the good ole days conservatives and teabaggers are constantly pining for.:roll:
another confederate flag thread.. haha. I guess it never dies.
it would be nice to keep tags away from things political or controversial. I understand the confederate flag is part of history and not necessarily symbolic of anything other than Southern history - but it is controversial. If this dude gets his way, then who and what will be next? Why can't he put up a big old confederate flag bumper sticker?

They may not have owned them, but I'll bet they gazed at them enviously through the store window.

To some the Confederate flag commemorates their ancestors who fought in a conflict 150 years ago.
To many the Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred, racism, and violence.
There are far better ways to publicly display pride in one's ancestors or history - if that is your true goal.

The wonderful & powerful thing about our Constitutionally-protected freedom of speech is that even offensive speech is protected.
I think the Confederate battle flag symbolizes an unfortunate war, the underlying cause of which was the "right" of some to own slaves. Although I had ancestors who fought on the Confederate side, I think they were wrong-headed. To me, the Confederate flag is offensive speech. I wish people didn't want to flaunt it, but I think it is & should be protected by the 1st Amendment.
