CMV: I don't think the confederate flag should be on the Texas license plate because it is the flag of an enemy force.

The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments on whether or not the Sons of Confederate Veterans can have a specialized plate that includes the Confederate battle flag. Many are saying that it is a symbol of racism and slavery and therefore should not be allowed because it could offend people. The lawyer for the Sons points out that free speech is about protecting offensive speech and if the government is allowed to limit which group qualifies for a special plate then they are limiting free speech. On that point I am inclined to agree with him, there are many groups that were at one time or another very offensive to the general public but are now acceptable. The Supreme Court is also trying to determine what would be an effective balance to strike in order to protect civil liberties but not promote offensive speech, some are saying that the special plate program should be abolished completely because it is allowing the government to decide who is acceptable. 

With all this said, I think that all of the above parties are not quite looking at this correctly. The fact of the matter is that the Confederate States that seceded from the USA became rebel states and an enemy force. Their acts directly led to the killing of Union soldiers. The "rebels" were traitors. There is no ifs, ands, or buts. Their actions killed hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and American civilians while hampering our economy. In fact, the flag that they wish to use is the battle flag which was expressly for the killing of US soldiers.

Now I have no problem with a private group that wants to celebrate their "heritage" just like any other group; but I have a problem when they want to celebrate the traitors and enemies of the state on an official product of the very government they fought against. This is the USA, not the CSA. The confederates and their brave soldiers were traitors to the constitution of the United States of America. Do not try and claim anything different.

edit: The word is secession not succession.
