Oh Good Lord, Sid Miller
Sid Miller is the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, which is a far more important job than it sounds. That’s unfortunate because Ole Sid is about 50 acres short of a cornfield. Click right here to see all the articles I’ve written about him.
Ole Sid would have to study up to be an imbecile.
He’s a mess o’ racism, and he advertises himself as “Donald Trump’s Man in Texas.” He recognizes that even most of his fellow statewide elected Republican officials don’t support him, so his big effort now is is to rally the base. A Klan meeting would be too obvious, so Ole Sid is going with re-fighting the Civil War.
In 2011 he tried to get one passed that included the confederate battle flag, but even Texas was against that. So, they replaced it with the confederate Texas regiment’s flag.
Look, in my mind, both of those flag should be the final confederate flags – white ones.
Election time is not pretty in Texas. Some damn fool is gonna drag out some damn losers’ flag.
Thanks to Steve for the heads up.
Old Sid, the guy who makes the crazy uncles at family gatherings seem like mild eccentrics.
1Shouldn’t the sample license plate number, instead of BB01B, use the more appropriate BYOB?
Also, how many actual Sons of Confederate Veterans are still around? Sid can have his plates as long as they’re only issued to people who would now be 130 years old.
2Funny how the same people that keep telling us to get over Hillary cause she lost (she didn’t) keep acting like the people committing treason against the United States and lost soundly should never give up.
3Rick,
The Sons of Confederate Veterans organization, it is an actual ‘fraternal’ group, has grown tremendously and become very active in many parts of Texass over the last decade or so (coincidental to President Obama?…).
There are several chapters active in my area, and the local RW newspaper has been covering them with very favorable articles for years.
Don’t know where you’re from, but way too many Democrats, progressives, and liberals seem to live in a bubble, lacking practical knowledge of who your enemies are and what they are doing. A major factor in where we are now, IMO.
4Wake up people, you’ve been engaged in a very serious WAR for decades, and most of y’all still don’t know it.
Can I get a license plate with the Mexican flag on it?
5Well, my interest is piqued.
Exactly what would the money provided to this “charitable organization” from the license plate sales fund? What sort of worthwhile community projects do these fine, upstanding Sons of the South(west) sponsor? And why can’t they hold a raffle or a car wash instead, like other civic groups?
This Enquiring Yankee Mind wants to know.
6Sandridge,
7My bubble is an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Since May my neighborhood has been 9 miles from an active lava flow, which has finally paused, but then was temporarily replaced with Hurricane Lane, no winds to speak of but 50 inches of rain in 3 days. So far no tsunami warnings this year, but we still have 2 1/2 months to go!
I’d be in favor of one special license plate for Sid: 1BOOB
8Rick, Mahalo, I lived on Kauai for a bit, been trying to get back to paradise permanently ever since. Whenever I feel I can spare the bandwidth (from my lousy capped IP service), I stream about the only radio I care to listen to anymore, KKCR community radio from Hanalei (and support them).
Nine miles from active Kilauea’s lava flow is waaay too close… Or Mauna Loa and the other three there, which have been mostly dormant but could reactivate.
9Sandridge,
10You’ve got that right. Mauna Loa’s gonna rise long before any Sons of the Confederacy get around to it.
My little bride and I ventured into inner east Dallas today to attend the great State Fair of Texas. Dragging our exhausted selves to the Pan Am gate via a shortcut my eyes beheld such a sight: a sign which reserved a parking place right next to a bay door for Old Sid as the TDA Commissioner. I puked so hard at the sight that I failed to take a photograph of it on my phone. What graft! What abuse of office! What a sh!thead.
