News, Backers of 'Confederate Heritage' specialty plate win round in court. (illegal, rating)

[JD59]

TALLAHASSEE — The Sons of Confederate Veterans is trumpeting a federal judge's ruling as a major victory in its efforts to get the rebel battle flag on a specialty license plate in Florida.

The group filed a lawsuit in January against the state and the Legislature after lawmakers refused to take action for two years on its application for a "Confederate Heritage" plate.

I fail to understand why those people are hell-bent on celebrating their "heritage" of being losers....

I wish they would just secede and get it over with.

There you go again with the name calling.

Good for them, it's part of the south and their heritage. No problems.

MMM Secession, starting to sound so sweet. Think the northerners will start their illegal war of aggression against us again?

I never thought of it as an illegal war, but I'm sure many on the losing side agree with you.

Um....name calling? Were you referring to me when I said their "'heritage' as being losers"? If so, that's not name calling. Now, if I called them "losers", that would be name-calling. But I didn't do that. I said ""hetigage' of being losers". I didn't think I needed to add "of a war" but maybe I should have because it appears you needed it to grasp the full understanding of what I was talking about. Has it come to the point where the word "loser" is automatically deemed to be name-calling rather than taken at face value to mean "the people who lost"?

So is genocide against the native Americans. And lynchings. Wanna celebrate those, too?

Do we celebrate the fact more white men were lynched than black men?

I thought the American Indian problem and the 'western justice' i.e. lynchings was mostly going on out west. Never heard about the American Indian problem in the old south. Are you talking about the 1600's?
