We read:
"A proposed Texas license plate created to honor Confederate veterans is under fire from elected officials who have vowed to protest the plate’s Confederate flag design, the Houston Chronicle reports.
"We cannot allow the state to issue a symbol of intimidation," U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, said to a crowd of community leaders outside the Civil Courthouse Saturday.
Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, said that allowing these license plates would be allowing the people who lost a war to write history. [So? Why not? Is there a specially privileged class who alone may write history?]
The controversial design was created to honor Confederate veterans on the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War.
According to the paper, the proposal is sponsored by Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson on behalf of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a group that has won approval of the plates in nine other states, including Georgia, Maryland and Tennessee.
It has filed and won lawsuits in states where its requests were denied.

Wasnt she part of the "You lost Republicans, now get ready to be ruled by the black man" crowd?
Old Gorilla-faced Lee, one of the biggest racists in all of congress, and Rodney the Muslim. What a pair. Back in the day, before Texas became Mexas, these two would have been waiting tables somewhere. Maybe.
True Southerners should remember that their flag was well-worth fighting for at one time. It's time to fight again!
"True Southerners should remember that their flag was well-worth fighting for at one time. "
They were all a bunch traitors. They got what they deserved.
F.Y.I.
I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt.
@President Not Sure, you see, we ARE now being ruled by the black man, and look what it has gotten us:
-A "leader" who bows to foreign dignitaries.
-A "leader" who apologizes for past events.
-A "leader" who disregards the FACT that the United States was founded on Christian values and principles.
-A "leader" who has spent more money than all past presidents combined.
-A "leader" who has plunged the United States into bankruptcy.
Frankly, if that's how the black man leads, I want no part of it.
Would the old bat prefer a licsens plate with the mexican flag on it? Stupid sourpuss liberals
