It’s not about the first amendment

Uberblogger Bill Hobbs, one of my regular reads, and I finally disagree. He feels that Tennessee’s having a Choose Life license plate is OK and shouldn’t be vetoed by Governor Bredesen because it doesn’t violate the first amendment. That may mean that it is not illegal but it’s not OK.

State sponsored political opinions about debatable issues have a tendency to oppress the non-sponsored political opinions. Obviously, the extreme example of this is Nazi Germany. If you want to have a pro-life plate then you need a pro-choice plate. In fact, let’s have license plates for all political opinions. In fact, here are some I’d like to have:

Republicans Suck
Democrats Suck Slightly More
Eat Meat Because It’s Normal
Vote Libertarian, Nobody Will Notice
Nuke The Gay Whales For Jesus
Fags Are Okay
No Income Tax Was Used To Pay For This License Plate
Buy A Gun, You Pansy
Destroying Civil Liberties Is Like Letting The Terrorists Win (from UnknownNews)

I don’t think my political opinions would make it on many T-Shirts, much less state sponsored license plates.
