Please, the GOP ARE the PC police, reporting any post that hurts their precious feelings and ideology. They can dish out the hate, prejudice and advocacy of violence, but once faced with their own words backwards thinking they cry like children. Yourself included.

I am sick and tired of the christian right who think the sun shines out of their backside.

As I said, if it goes through at least it will label the people I most want to stay away from.
And by having a license plate proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Savior we think the sun shines out of our backsides? Um, okay. But seriously, grow a little thicker skin. The whole world isn't always gonna agree with you about everything.

Okay, did I just enter bizarro world? Political correctness is the very definition of liberal groupthink. here's an easy test;

Gay marriage is pc: leftists for it. Cons against it

Abortion is pc: leftists for it. Cons against it

Global Warming is pc: leftists for it. Cons against it.

Afirmative Action is pc: leftists for it. Cons against it.

Tax the rich is pc: leftists for it. Cons against it.

These are but a few examples of political correctness. Can you give me one example of something that's pc that we support and you're against? Just one?

"Prius" is shorthand for "Priapus".

Those who drive them have no need to overcompensate for other shortcomings.

On a side note check your sarcasm meter, it's not working.

I recently bought a new tag down here in good old Florida. I wan't paying attention. They just gave me the "standard" tag. Nothing fancy. Just the green letters and numbers on white backgroung I THOUGHT. However, when I put it on my car, I noticed that under the numbers, in greed letters is says, "In God We Trust"! I didn't ASK for that. And actually, I'm kinda more Buddhist.

I agree. And I totally am opposed to that. Nobody asked me if I wanted a license plate with a Buddha on it!

This is straight from Wikipedia. The links should help educate you on our constitution.

The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. It has since been quoted in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court.[1]

Yeah, but........when they give you just the "standard issue" license plate that has "In God We Trust" written on it in green letters.......well, THAT is promoting a religion. And it's not my religion.
