Now, I ask you: Is this a big deal?Guess who thinks so. No, seriously guess who thinks that this is a big deal. The ACLU. Duh.
An Indiana plate with the "In God We Trust" phrase has been challenged by the ACLU, but the courts so far have deemed it legal, arguing that it is comparable with other specialty plates, such as "Fight Terrorism" in Virginia or plates displaying a support of a particular sports team or your alma mater.
What the bleepin' F is the big deal? Sure, the government is making the plates, but you have to pay $25 to get the plate. I would think it was a big deal if I was forced to put this on my car to show support of this "Christian" nation. Some critics say that "what's next?"
"It's not a road I want to go down. I don't want to see the Star of David next. I don't want to see a Torah next. None of that stuff is appropriate to me," said Skidmore, a Democrat who voted against the plate in committee. "I just believe that."
If it's not "appropro" for you, sir, don't buy the plate. I'm sure if no one wants to buy the plate, the government will stop making them. However, we have to realize this is a very religious nation, of ALL sorts of religions even pedophilic polygamy sects.
Am I ignorant? Am I an uber-religious member of the Roman Catholic Church? No and No. I feel ignorant because that's the world we live in right now. Religion is bad. On the contrary, religion gives people faith and yes this world is going to pots with shootings in Chicago and Philadelphia this past weekend, war in dozens of countries, and politicians who sleep with "elite" prostitutes. Why can't people have a freakin' cross or Star of David on their car? People can put all sorts of vulgarities on the back of their car.
Now don't, by all means, get me wrong. I love what this license plate advocates. However, would I want my kid seeing that? I would rather have a child see a cross or a Star of David.
Yes, this license plate is funny. Ha ha. But, this issue is funny as well. As in...it's bleeping F-ing ridiculous. And, this matter pretty much illustrates another reason why I hate the ACLU.

Man, me too. I hate those organizations that fight for my right as a woman to make as much money as a man in the same position, my right to marry whoever the hell I damn choose, my right to not have my phone tapped just because my girlfriend is calling me from Myanmar, oh, and your right to serve openly in the military.
I'm cool with the plate, as long as they offer the option to get it in any religious persuasion people might want--Buddhist, Hindu, Baha'i, whatever, as well as one that says "I don't believe." Equal opportunity.
Anyway, why are you encouraging the idea that vaginas are vulgar? Why would it be bad for a kid to be comfortable with his or her own body? These are the questions I ask that Deanna and Ben's kids will encounter from their cool aunt :-)
If that was a real license plate....it's be terrible reporting an accident.
"I'm on I95 and my car just got rammed by a Red Dodge tagged Vagina"
