Sell Confederate plates instead of Mexican ones

I was just at a North Carolina license plate office to get my plate renewed and I was appalled, though not surprised, at what I saw. Hanging on the wall among numerous other plates was a Mexican flag plate. Now I ask, why is the N.C. license plate office allowed to sell a plate with a flag of a foreign country but not a Confederate flag plate? After all, North Carolina is a Southern state with many Southerners proud of their heritage. The Confederate flag plate should be for sale before a Mexican flag plate or any other foreign country's flag.

This is just another example of the increasing genocide of Southern culture and ultimately of the Southern people.

North Carolinians, Southerners and Americans do not have to worry about a takeover by a foreign power. We're giving the country away. God save the South!

This has to be, without a doubt, the stupidest letter I've ever read.

Michael,

If you think that's bad, consider this: they've got a Jeff Gordon plate, a Jimmie Johnson plate, and a Matt Kenseth plate but no Dale Earnhardt or Earnhardt Jr. plate!

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Frankly, I am about tired of all the "vanity plates". It has gotten so that I cannot even tell if someone if from NC anymore.
