Traitors ? Really ?

I received an email that was voicing an opinion about the confederate emblem for the license plates. In this opinion the writer states “Why would the State of Texas honor people who were traitors to the United States of America?” Traitors ? Really ? Traitors ? But, I guess by the true definition of the word what the 13 colonies did was treasonous as well as Sam Houston and the fighters of the Alamo and San Jacinto. So we are all traitors? As you can tell I take exception to the term “Traitors” as so broadly applied to the confederate army. I believe that the Sons of the Confederate Veterans license plate honors those who fought for what they believed in. So why wouldn’t the state of Texas honor it’s war heroes? This is a matter of fact and History……. Of course in my opinion.

Fact is it will become an option because there are presently 18 states that have this option available. In most of those cases the courts appeared to have sided for the option to be available.

Thoughts ?

These idiots trying to rewrite history must think everyone else is as clueless as they are.
They also think that many southern states use the official rebel flag as their own. Some incorporate elements of the CSA flag so, to the eyes of the ignorant, they might look that way.
How such mindlessness could ever find its way into a courtroom today only shows that the country has truly lost its way, jumped the track and taken a dirt road.
