Residents of GA can do what they like, but personally I would like people to have the option to indicate how exactly fricking stupid, backwards and racist they are.
That way I can avoid them.

Wars aren't fought by 'good guys' against 'bad guys'. I understand some have co-opted the flag to be a sign of hate but that wasn't in any way it's original intent.
Would I get one for my car? Hell no. But let's not throw too many stones at the descendants of those that died in a preventable and tragic war some 150 years ago.

That sounds like something a God Damn Yankee would say.

How do you feel about the US flag then? After all, it was flown by the same people who killed thousands upon thousands of Indians and stole their land too.

We don't agree on much but I agree.
I would also double dog dare some of you "sons of confederate veterans" to park a car with that tag on it in parts of Atlanta. Show the world exactly how devoted you are to grandpappy's memory!!!
I will tell you what is TRULY offensive in Georgia....you can buy a tag with a fricking florida gator on it!!! Or an Auburn Tiger, A UT VOL, a Clemson paw, and any number of other foreign school mascot on it. That is fricking disdusting...if you gonna carpet bag in the peach state at least have the commmon decency not to parade around the streets of this fair land with that ugly shite on display. It is bad enough to have to deal with the native sons who insist on having that black and gold insect adorn their vehicle....but a fricking Gator??? Here is an idea...if Florida is your school and your proud of it then stay the frick in florida and get a job and live there....

Well, you're an Iowa fan so that shows how fricking stupid you are.

And you get that from a plate meant to commemorate the sons of Confederate Veterans? Does a plate commemorating the Daughters of the American Revolution also offend you?
Huh? If there is one role for that flag, given it was the Battle Flag, it would seem pretty logical that it would be in association with those who fought behind it on the field of battle, that's it. Whether that's the Sons of Confederate Veterans, at a museum, a Confederate graveyard, or battlefield, those are the places it belongs. Neither it nor the American flag belong at a Klan rally or Nazi event, inappropriately used in association with a bumper sticker on someone's vehicle, or colored in school colors and displayed at a sporting event, yet we can't stop any of them from using it or misusing it. The only true role that flag DOES have is as a matter of history in association with men who died under it, because of course..... It's a flag purely designed for the sole purpose of helping soldiers to differentiate one side from the other on a smoke filled battlefield instead of confusing the old CSA National Flag with the Union Flag, which were quite similar and often mistaken for one another by both sides rallying to their respective flags. If anything, perhaps thanks are in order that it replaced the old National Flag on the battlefield from the Confederate side and the Union side as well.
