“I don’t want a Blue Plate Special on my car.”
Bart Graham should be flogged. I don’t want a Blue Plate Special on my car. The new license plates are uglier than the license plates we have now. I thought we’d never do worse, but dang if Bart Graham hasn’t done it.
Now, I like the white one in the picture, but the blue one is ugly. Who else has a blue plate? Michigan! And do we really want to model ourselves after a yankee icebox? Hell no!
So, is this another example of the Perdue Administration treating government officials better than the rest of us? We get the ugly blue plates. The government officials get the pretty white ones. The government officials get the big tax breaks. We get bupkiss — unless we’re senior citizens, then we can sit back in our rockers while the Republicans and Democrats compete in prostituting themselves for us!
We should all call Bart Graham’s boss and complain. You can reach Governor Perdue at 404-656-1776. Tell him you don’t want a Blue Plate Special on your car!

Well only a select few have got what it takes to be a Marine!
I will not take back any statement about him! He is not respectful of the freedom of speech, and it is a mistake for anyone with that mentality to get award from the military!
I’ve actually told Linda that before.
I guess since I didn’t pull it off some bullshit website, she didn’t get it.
Linda,
I’m not going to split hairs with you over the differences between the Army Infantry and the Marine Corps.
And you saying that someone like me shouldn’t get an award is something I wear as a badge of honor.
He is not respectful of the freedom of speech
I respect your right to say what ever the hell you want. I have never sent in a complaint asking you to be banned from any site, or to have your comments edited. Say whatever you want.
But, don’t expect me to tolerate your bigotry. If you’re going to talk like a freedom-hating bigot, expect to be called out on it.
I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
–Volitare
Yeah, I am saying exactly that! I think that you have an attitude problem. I think that you cannot tell when someone is writing with sarcasm and satire, and I think that you have let your awards go to your head. I am more down to earth than any person you would ever know. I know your type, stuffy and so full of yourself that you look at every mirror when you pass by. Well, I am not going to take your bs without fighting back!
I am not anti-semitic, and I have never been to a KKK meeting, but i am not too damn stupid to realize that the KKK existed for a purpose in the United States. At one time, most people had the highest regard for the KKK in the United States. Since you are a hsitory major, you should know that.
Just because a person is savvy enough to not be caught up in a PC world does not mean they are stupid or a moron.
Yea, LINDA, just because people support an organization does not make it right. c.f.: Hitler was democratically elected, Americans promoted slavery, shall I go on?
I bet you did not do 13 weeks of basic training that ended with a 26 mile Crucibal, come back home and then head off to another 4 weeks of combat training. I bet you have not been to Okinowa twice, and stationed in the desert at 29 Palms, CA or been called baby killer when visiting the beach. I bet you haven’t had your best friend from high school blown up by a roadside bomb in Iraq either. Yeah boast about your honors, and I’m hear to tell you that you have not been to hell yet, unitl you’ve worn the uniform of a Marine.
Yeah, well Rugby go around your home and look for all of the stuff that say made in China. And then ask yourself, if I own this stuff where people earn less than a dollar an hour, am I supporting slavery? Give me a break! And for goodness sake wake up!
Hey Linda where did your computer come from? I bet it is not 100% american made.
When I graduated from high school, I received a letter to go to DC to work for the FBI in the fingerprinting department. I suppose I scored high on the PSAT. I got letters from every college in Kentucky, but scholarships were only awarded to football and basketball players. I was accepted at every school without even applying, but I was so poor that I did not start college untit the age of 28.
I graduated Cum Laude in Accounting, passed the CPA exam on the first two tries, I have my own accounting business, I have a MBA and I teach CPA review classes. So there, you tell me that I am stupid again and show your stupidity! My husband and I have been through the school of hard knocks and I know more about life than you can ever grasp!
Stephanie,
I am sure my computer is made overseas. That is the point I am making. It is ridiculous for people to say they do not support slavery but at the same time buy foreign products. We are supporting slavery when we buy diamonds, when we buy appliances and on and on. I try my best to buy American when I can find such products. But it is getting harder and harder each day.
whoop dee doo LINDA, your story makes me choke up.
You miss my point, just because the majority support an organization, does not mean that one’s actions or beliegs are morally acceptable (Clinton?).
Slavery is by definition working for no money, so even if everything I own is made in China where they make less than a dollar, no I am not supporting slavery.
And for the record I am vehemently against the notion of putting any human into bondage and no matter what, will find it repulsive, and abhorrent at any juncture of my life.
And LINDA, perhaps you too should wake up and realize that most of what you say is perfectly in line what Fritz Kuhn said. Now I ask you do you think Fritz did good work or bad?
I do not know Fritz Kuhn, And I think you have flawed logic. Most people in the United States did not own slaves, either but when they bought farm products picked by slaves or cotton or tobacco then they were suppoting slavery. When, we by products made in China we are supporting slavery because our politicians have sold us out because of corruption with corporations. So whether you like it or not, you and me and everyone else in this country is supporting bondage.
The only thing that we can do is support a new mind set of politicians when our system collapses, and yes the United States will collapse.
And Rugby, how many people have you ever talked to in life that lived with two sisters from the ages of 13m 12 and without a mother or a father in the home? Yeah, that is me and I was the oldest. We got up every morning on our own and went to school and worked jobs to make it.
I don’t give a flip what you think of me, in reality. I am just not going to sit by and let you throw your bs in my face! I know who I am and I know the character that I am and I have a darn good reputation with my clients and students. I am well respected by those that know me for telling things like they are because most are too afraid to speak up. I see what is wrong with this country. It is too many people born with a sliver spoon in their mouth, that think they know more than their elders. It will be our downfall. It is politicians that take advantage of those people that fall for anything and stand for nothing!
ages of my sisters and I: 13, 12 and 11. I am sure you had parents to wake you up every morning. And I am glad, if you did. But you see when you talk to someone on a black box, you just really do not know what that person has been through and what that person has learned living in the real world longer than you can ever relate to!
I graduated Cum Laude in Accounting, passed the CPA exam on the first two tries, I have my own accounting business, I have a MBA and I teach CPA review classes.–Linda
I can see that you read my writings though! Good for you because maybe you’ll learn a thing or two from someone that is quite a bit higher on the old IQ scale than you!–Linda
I am not even going to address the stupidity of your comments. Usually the people that criticize American cars are people that do not know how to even change their own oil!–Linda
Please. Don’t tell me I’m “full of myself” or whatever else you have. The only times I have ever brought up service is when it has been directly challenged. And, coincidently, both of those times, it was by you. Now, that’s not to say that I’m not a self-loving son of a bitch, because I am. Just coming from you its like the pot calling the kettle black.
Your comments on this thread reek of elitism. Your comments on past threads reek of anti-semitism and bigotry.
You might want to get your money back for all of your “education.” It was a wasted investment.
Have fun at KKKamp this summer.
I even had a really nice Jewish guy that ask me to go to his prom, at his high school and he wanted to go with me to mine. I told him no, and probably hurt his feelings. But I did not have the nerve to tell him that I did not have the money to buy a prom dress. So you really do not know me at all.
Yeah well, if my statements reek of eltism that is news to me. I am far from an elitist! What a joke! I have earned my living with my education, and am looking forward to retirement. You want me to buy you a bus ticket to go to a KKK camp? You must be very interested in it, the way you dwell on it. I have no desire to go to a KKK meeting.
I gotta throw in a few things here. My 97 Thunderbird Sport V-8 just rolled over 195,000 miles this week, and she’s running great at about 22-23 mpg. The only “major” repair was a heater core a couple years ago. I plan to take her to 250,000.
We free market people should remember that Honda and Toyota did not enter the American market fairly. They did so with subsidies from the Japanese government. I understand that Honda was originally selling cars in America for less than it cost even to build them.
It is true that the American automakers rejected Deming’s quality control concepts, and the Japanese embraced them, increasing the quality of their cars. However, I think the American car makers have come a long way, having now adopted the same QC concepts. They’re just not yet able to overcome the bad name they got through the 70’s and 80’s.
I’ll stick to my American cars so that the PROFIT goes to Americans, and I’ll continue to support those who built their business in a fair market.
And that ugly blue tag is gonna look horrible against my deep red. Oh well…
Linda,
I’m sure you could get me season passes to the KKK meetings. But I’m not interested.
Sorry, I love freedom.
You see, I did not put my scholastic achievements on any post until challenged about my intelligence and character. I will tell you my most meaningful plaque or certificate came from my accounting peers in Advanced Accounting after we had all gone through so many classes together. They gave me a simplistic certificate that read “To the most memorable and the most outstanding accounting student.” I was the oldest student in the class, and the one that took the time when studying for exams to take phone calls from other students calling me with help on questions that they were struggling with. In other words, the respect of my classmates meant more to me than any school award. Sorry that you got your thumb stuck in your zipper or whatever is up your crawl today.
Well, then join the Marines Jace and go fight for it!
Freedom that is. If you would post with the same name, people would know who you are. I do remember telling you before thank you for your service. But now, I think you are a jerk!
And JSM, you seem to be the only other person posting on this board that understands free market enterprise. Good for you!
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/12/toyota-moving-camry-production-to-indiana/
perfect example of our tax dollars subsidizing Toyota!
Well,
You think I’m a jerk. I think you’re a freedom-hating bigot.
I guess we’re even.
Anyway,
I’m out of town for the weekend. Have a great weekend everyone.
Even you, Linda.
High five:
up high, down low, too slow! My eleven year old son’s way of giving me high five! LOL, Jace. Take some deap breaths and chill! I love my freedom and I hope you love yours, too! I am glad that we have the really brave fighting for our freedoms, too! They are not sitting back on a black box talking down to a woman old enough to be their mother, like you are!
You have a good weekend too, Jace!
Back on subject here….it seems the whole arguments against this tag are the same ones used against Roy’s flag…same tone and same word choice. I’m expecting a certain element to come out and say we should vote on it and then say Sonny lied….
All day, and no posts or comments about this update?
“After a single day of withering public reaction to a new, blue license plate for 5 million Georgia vehicles, Gov. Sonny Perdue on Friday downgraded the tag to a mere trial balloon…
“So what caused the governor to decide he needed more input?
“Partly it was “feedback within the office,” Hedrick replied. But mostly, the press secretary said, it was the storm of comments on an ajc.com blog featuring the new tag.”
It’s college football Saturday, Loren
It looks like I will be keeping my UGA license plate for yet another year!
The poster has, in a nutshell, addressed the very basic problem with the GA legislature today.
In Texas, we called it Flim-Flam. An elected official swears to uphold the Constitution, not his power base.
Voting is an enumerated right, specifically spelled out on procedure. Blaming the judge for an unconstitutional
You can not have your cake, and eat it too, gentlemen!
To conclude the above open sentence…
Blaming the judge for an unconstitutional statute is the ultimate in blame shifting.
What the hell is up with state officials and ugly blue symbols of Georgia?
