The Virginia chapter of the 9/12 Project is pushing a bill that would authorize the sale of special "Don't Tread On Me" license plates as official state plates.
"Don't Tread On Me" flags, also known as Gadsden flags, are a go-to protest symbol for the Tea Party set, seen at pretty much every rally since the Tea Party started having rallies.
But if the bill passes, Virginia residents won't even have to lift a finger to show their opposition to big government and higher taxes. Or, as the 912 Richmond website puts it: "The citizens of Virginia will soon be able to express their support for smaller government and protest the Federal Government's intrusion into the affairs of private citizens. How? With license plates that make a statement!"
The site says that the group collected "over 475 signatures" in support of the plate at the Virginia Tea Party convention this year.
To recap, the group that has raised the shunning of standard government practices to an art form now wants you to pay the Commonwealth Of Virginia an extra ten bucks a year for a license plate. No word if you can use the plate on your Medicare-financed Hoveround scooter while going to pick up your Social Security check on the way to the library.

Of course if a Democrat designed a plate, they would expect someone else to pay for it.
How meta.
Meta ironic.
