Hoosiers should just change it to something that will piss all the Southerners off.

Yes, the ACLU is, was, and will continue to be a Hero. Thank you for pointing that out Subby!

I'd appeal that ruling too. It's obviously a First Amendment violation. If I lived in Indiana, I'd ask for a plate that says, "In Satan we trust." Then, when they denied it there would be Hell to pay.

why is the ACLU spending money on this?

They like the Constitution.

Unlike "Conservatives".

I usually agree with the ACLU, but if the Judge is right (and if I'm reading it right) that the $5 is there to cover donations and extra processes not involved in this OPTIONAL religious plate, then I don't think they should have to jack up the price just for the sake of making it more expensive. I see the ACLU's point, but if those fees are there to cover costs that the optional religious plate doesn't incur, then it shouldn't charge the extra $5

It's already on your money, so what's the big deal?

I support the ACLU, but not on stupid crap like this.

Dinki: Yes, the ACLU is, was, and will continue to be a Hero. Thank you for pointing that out Subby!

I came here to say the exact same thing.

Subby's correct, of course, that the ACLU are heroes for fighting this kind of bullshiat. There's nothing wrong with a religiously-themed licence plate, unless it's endorsed above others by being free, which is against the constitution.

And it's always heroic to fight for one of the documents in democratic civilizations.

THIS THIS THIS

How is it fair to have to pay for other messages on plates, but not one about religion? Hm?

The ACLU is like the NAACP. They really need to learn which battles are worth the fight.

Is about time that Churches and any religious organization start paying taxes like every miserable one of us.

Cash? What the hell is that? I don't see "In God We Trust" on my Visa.

Yes yes yes, the ACLU will not rest until they take all of your guns and the law mandates that an urban youth rape your daughter, we understand your hatred of the Constitution.

The problem I have with Indiana is that they are subsidizing single religion license plates, making taxpayers pony up $.50 for every Bible beater that has to tell everyone that they love Sky-Dude.

Hmmm...I wonder how much those Purple Heart Veteran plates cost each year?

/God plates should cost extra.
//Purple Heart Veteran plate should not.

Devil's Advocaat: It's already on your money, so what's the big deal?

This.

It's the national motto, fer fark's sake. I'm all for keeping prayers out of schools and legislatures, because I agree that those can directly create an atmosphere that one religion is favored over another, but I don't see any advancement or endorsement (the Constitutional litmus test) in having the national motto on the license plates.

/Indy native
//Catholic, so I don't get accused of being hostile to religion later

I love the plates. They go really well with the yellow magnetic ribbons and the Got Jesus bumber stickers. Awesome bozo filters for me. Just like my Darwin fish is to them. You want bitter? Go to east Indiana where the GM towns were. Anderson, Marion, Muncie. The epicenter of white-trash suck.

Im_Gumby: /It's taking stupid positions like this that give the ACLU a bad name

It's taking consistent positions like this that gives the ACLU a concrete directive. You don't get to pick and choose when somebody's pulling a fast one.

Countdown until some idiot comes in with "ACLU hates Christianity because they won't allow a theocracy!" in 5..4..3..2..

The Constitution is living document that changes with the times to reflect whatever value or idea liberals want but every word is set in solid stone never to be taken as anything other than a literal interpretation... You just have to ask a liberal to explain why this paradox exists before you will be able to figure out how the constitution can be both at the same time.

Good call on the HERO tag, Subby. I agree. The ACLU certainly is heroic. I hope that appeal the idiot judge's ruling.

Hey guys, September 11 is over, we lost the war in Iraq and Bush is the worst president is history. It's OK to admit that the ACLU are doing the right thing now.

It shouldn't be on money ether. But thats besides the point. Their point was this state-funded religious plate was above the others because it was free, creating an image of bias twords this plate.

Thats wrong, and the plate should ether cost the same as the others, with the proceeds donated to charity, or not other at all.

radiumsoup: why is the ACLU spending money on this?

/no, really

Because the ACLU is a God, USA and moral hating group of dirtbags, who wish for nothing more than complete chaos and for the scum of our country to run amock.

Seriously, there are very few cases (none of which include our SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT) that the ACLU takes that actually help our country and society as a whole.

Screw the ACLU.

The tag was for GOD!

Dr. Mojo PhD:

Yep. Like when they defended the right for neo-nazis to march through a Jewish neighborhood. They stand for the constitution...regardless of how popular or unpopular it makes them, and regardless of if they agree with it or not. They don't pick and choose their battles.

So yes, the ACLU deserves a HERO tag.

You'll get over it subby.

Dinki:
Yes, the ACLU is, was, and will continue to be a Hero pain in the ass.

fixed

You don't pay extra for the words "Wander Indiana" or whatever they are using now because no special interest group is being subsidized through that plate. Same goes for the "In God We Trust" or whatever it is, plate. If you choose a plate that includes in its fee a donation to an environmental group, or a children's advocacy group, etc. you pay extra. If not, you don't. Thanks for wasting everyone's time ACLU....again.

SubBass49: //Purple Heart Veteran plate should not.

They dont in Ohio

Not sure about IN

I can't agree with the ACLU this time. The "God" phrase is "In God We Trust", as in the current national motto. If it wasn't a vanity plate, it wouldn't cost extra to just stamp that on every plate.

I'm all for changing it back to "E Pluribus Unum", though. This just doesn't strike me as a way of doing that.

Yet again so farking proud to live in Hoosierville.

/don't smite me, oh powerful Sky Overlord
//don't have one of those farking tags.
