In reply to the discussion: Justices struggle with free speech case over license plates [View all]7962
(11,841 posts)38. Wearing thew North Vietnamese flag wouldnt be OK with me
Armbands or peace symbols havent been used as props for racist groups. The flag supporters have no one to blame but themselves for letting the klan or who ever take over the flag. And my ancestors fought for the South; one was wounded. But the SoCV could have their tag and their name without using the flag. Although other states do allow it, including mine
But I do see the reason to allow it too, and people need to stop being offended by EVERYTHING these days. I just dont see flags as speech, just like i dont see money as speech.

NO. But this is a question of the state sanctioning something. Your flag isnt state sanctioned

As I mentioned above, this is about the state sanctioning something, not what YOU say.

I would think that the Sons of Confederate Veterans are dead. Who are these assholes that are suing?

If the neo-confederates win does this mean neo-Nazis can have a swastika plate?
