3. In one of life's little ironies, that person paid the state way extra for the vanity plate.

5. exactly what I was thinking
If they really don't like government, why get plates at all? "I think the federal government should only exist to provide a military, and to keep women from being equal to men, but that's it! oh, yeah... and license plates. And roads. Ok, Military, keeping women down, license plates, and roads, but that's it....." it could go on forever.

11. He feels he's entitled to bitch about the govt. by paying an inflated cost for his plates
"Here, government. Here's more of my precious money. Oh and by the way, I hate you."

And they call these people "the adults"?

Yeah, right

15. Like buying all of that French wine and dumping it in the sewer
"This'll really show 'em that we won't pay to drink their surrender-juice. We'll just pay to dump it."


A brilliant boycott!

13. I would have waved the guy down and complimented his "lesbian govt" plate
Then when he said that it actually meant "less government", I would have acted shocked and told him that pretty much everyone will think he's promoting "lesbian government".

14. That was my thought as well.
Nothing like some hot congresswoman-on-congresswoman action to get the red-state blood really pumping!

17. lol. I've been making a point to tell the Norquist wet dreamers
that I'd rather have a smarter and more efficient government than one I can drown.

It cracks me up in some ways. Sure, the government infuriates me sometimes, but I see that as something to fix not abandon. If this guy's Lexus breaks down, does he just take parts off hoping it'll work better or does he get it fixed by someone competent? Hypocrite.

Plus, since "we the people" are supposed to be the government, hating the government seems so ... antithetical. I wish they'd put their money where their big fat mouths are and go buy a private island somewhere where they can set up their own little banana anarchy state, and we'll see how well that works for them.

Shit, I'd even go so far as to say "let's donate an island to them" but it would have to be one which is downwind of us, as they will not want any sort of ecological considerations.

18. Then Lester Goventry returned to his car and wondered about the woman
pointing at his license plate.
