This, but allow Confederate license plates if the car owner is willing to pay a fee to obtain it from the state. Who are the five voters who want to ban private homeowners from flying a flag? Show yourselves, statists! Tongue

One already has:


Yes, and I stand by it. If you're flying it outside of your house, you're exposing it to public view. Nobody should be forced to see such vicious symbol of hatred and oppression.

I'm fine with showing these symbols in ways and forms that don't entail an endorsement. History books and other displays for factual purposes are obviously OK. Flying a flag out of your house is of course very different. Can you imagine a German flying a Nazi flag out of their house?

No, I can't. And that's mostly because the German public is repulsed enough by such a display that they'd give the person a stern talking to, which might or might not end up with the douchebag flying the thing walking away with a black eye. Building anti-racist consciousness is going to make sure that people don't put those flags up; and those that do end up regretting it. I'd rather rely on public opinion than the strong arm of the state myself.

I would too, but that's not happening in the South anytime soon.
