Texas commissioner backs Confederate group's license plate
Fox News ^ | 10/09/18

Texas' agriculture commissioner says he will back a Confederate group's latest attempt to sell specialty license plates, because "there's no profit in hiding our history."

The Sons of Confederate Veterans' Texas chapter proposed a license plate in March that features a rebel soldier carrying a Texas regiment's special flag at a Civil War battle, the Dallas Morning News reported. The specialty tag won't include the Confederate battle flag.

Commissioner Sid Miller wrote a letter of support in March that said the Department of Agriculture would sponsor the plate. On Monday, he said he sees nothing wrong with the group's push for the specialty tag.

"The Confederate flag is one of the six flags that flew over the state," he said. "There's no profit in hiding our history and trying to rewrite history."

Don’t mess with history, don’t mess with Texas
Let people, who have to impinge to feel good, find their own environ and congregate with their kindred. I’d love to see all of them happily in one place alone and away from me.

I’m friends with Sid on FB - guess it will be blowing up today. Texas Tribune just did an article on him and his frequent posts and large number of followers.

If Beat-Oh gets past Cruz Texas will be blue before you know it. Maybe one or two more election cycles.

Canada still honors Louis Reil, hanged for treason and murder.

Australia still honors the Eureka Flag, a rebellion that only lasted one hour.

Yet people who hate the USA today hate even more the memory of those who tried to separate from it in 1861.

I hope you’re right. My gut tells me we’re in for the highest amount of voter fraud in recent history.
