   I suppose the text in the link above the block-quote should read “personally defund the war”.

   Thanks for keeping us informed, Michelle.

   Our action may seem pitiful in that it amounts to cutting off money to Iraq for about as long as it takes you to read half this sentence. Moreover, if it wishes, the government can extract even that pittance from us by force. But only if officials are willing to expend more money to collect from us than they will obtain in the process.

   Who are these idiots think they’re kidding? The IRS pays people a salary–not an hourly wage. IRS agents aren’t going to get a penny more for auditing these people than they would any other day of the year.

   Oh, yes, the government will get the taxes. And it won’t cost them a cent more than if these turduckens had just paid them to begin with.

   Maybe the federal goverment can defund some of their favorite welfare programs and cut the Bay area of San Fran off completely. Sounds like a win/win proposition.

   Is it me or does this Kossack have a tinge of regret/remorse? Doesn’t read like someone who thinks defunding the war is right, despite having the moonbat vernacular down to a T.

   Albeit, someone should explain to em’ how the IRS works…

   ..We will, as we always have, file our 1040s. But we will refuse to pay 15% of what Washington says we owe it. We do this not because we have any illusion that two citizens holding back a few dollars will stop the war, the building of empire, the commission of atrocities.

   Yes, we’ll do something that we know will make absolutely no difference at all. But it makes me feel good, so it’s worth it. At least I’m doing my part.

   We refuse for the foreseeable future to surrender the portion of our taxes that pays for U.S. imperialism and the militarization which backs it up. We’re inventing nothing, merely joining with thousands of other war-tax protesters whose history on the North American continent dates back to 1637 when the Algonquins refused to pay a Dutch tax levied to remodel a fort built in the midst of these Indians to control them on their own land.

   The IRS tends to put you in prison for that these days. If they didn’t I’d have stopped funding The Welfare State years ago.

   So good luck with that.

   As for the “Sorry” website, The pic that links to their galleries has a slight factual error.

   It says it’s from “Half of America”.

   It should read “Less than half”. But I’m just nitpicking…

   I’ll be sure to start up a site for the next one, should the republicans win it.

   I’ll call it “You’re Welcome”.

   As in “You’re welcome for us continuing to make sure you are all free enough to hate us.”

    Though I think both are false attacks, there’s no comparison, at least for those who believe in the rule of law. A “chickenhawk” can fight in Iraq (either by enlisting if they are under the maximum age or by joining an NGO) but a “chickendove” can’t legally withhold taxes. Of course, the real chickens are the people on both sides who are unwilling to stop funding the war’s enemies through the billions we give to Iran and the wahabbis, but I don’t want to go off-topic on my first post!

    Personally, I would much rather prefer my tax dollars go towards funding the military than the bloated entitlement and social spending programs.

    So, to the daily cossack who is threatening to withhold 15% of his taxes: how about I let you put that 15% towards the program of your choice and I will put an equivalent amount of my taxes towards defense. That way, you are not paying for defense and I am not paying for some wasteful spending. I can’t see any downside to this proposal, after all, it is based on algore’s carbon credit program and it does not cost you a cent ;^)

    More pedantic asinine rhetoric from a delusional loon on Kos …

    Withholding is done at the employer level and you never have it in your hands to begin with so how are you going to hold it back …

    If self-employed and they don’t pay up their protest will last exactly 3 months … since those payments go in quarterly from employers that is how long before the IRS comes after them …

    Withholding 15% of his taxes (I guess that means he is paying the other 85%?) … been a long time since I saw that kind of a tax figure thrown out there … like 50 years or so … what tax system does this loon live under and where is it? …

    My tax “idea” has always been the following: With each tax form you get a “pie chart”. You get to allocate your tax amounts however you see fit.
    Of course, Congress would never go for this because it takes away much of their perceived power. They no longer would be able to go back to their districts and claim how much money they got coming back to their area. So I don’t see such a proposal getting very far. But it’s a nice idea as it would be true government of the people, by the people…

    That war-tax protestor might consider that some other liberals with much more money are calling for increased taxes to pay FOR the war. If they really feel that way, pray tell why not send in their own money to the IRS?
    What gets me is that so many loons won’t recognize that tax receipts have increased as rates have decreased. And the ones who have complained the loudest to me about taxes not being high enough nevertheless go out out of their way to avoid taxes as much as they can.
    How will the left react, if God forbid, Hillary manages to be C-in-C? Funny how Clinton’s lengthy Kosovo occupation is fine as are the numbers of US troops remaining for decades in Korea and Europe/Germany. Might not those wealthy countries spend more for their own defenses? But I suppose taxes for socialized medicine and the overall nirvana of the granny state is more important.
    Btw, I thoroughly enjoy this blog site and would rate it highly compared to many others.

    This thread is about one COMMENTER on Daily Kos. How relevant!

    I don’t really give much creedence to the idea of chickenhawks. But a chickenhawk isn’t someone who just “supports the war and hasn’t enlisted.” It’s much more specific than that, and you know it.

    Let’s see what chickenhawks I can find who are/recently were actually, oh say, IN POLITICS and who actually, oh say, MAKE POLICY.

    Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell, Bill Frist, Trent Lott, John Ashcroft, Dick Armey, Tom DeLay, John Boehner, Jack Kemp, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Bill Bennett, John Bolton, Saxby Chambliss, Richard Shelby, Phil Gramm (and SO many more, far too numerous to list).

    Or how about CH’s who have MAJOR ROLES in the media?

    Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Matt Drudge, Michael “Savage” Weiner, Brit Hume, Roger Ailes, Neil Boortz, Pat Buchanan, George Will, Bill Kristol

    Any Supreme Court Justice CH’s?

    Of course. Scalia, Alito, Thomas and Roberts.

    and of course, the big ones, CH’s grande-

    Karl Rove and Dick Cheney.

    And mind you, the whole “chickenhawk” concept came about when the Republicans tried to diss Clinton’s service, and it backfired miserably, due the MAJOR hypocrisy factor.

    But you found this one Daily Kos COMMENTER. Cool.

    The whole “chickenhawk” label is stupid. In a representative form of government, we ask our reps to make decisions for us that will be in the best interests of the country. Obviously, not all of them have been in uniform, been farmers, electrical power-grid designers, rocket scientists, physicians or whatever, but they make policy and spending decisions in those areas for us. Without knowing someone’s inner psyche you have no way of knowing if they are cowards or not. Even if they are, it’s irrelevant as to whether or not their decisions best serve the nation. Shouting names as a substitute for thoughtful reflection and analysis is juvenile at best.

So I’m left wondering, how can we get some effective action, after forty years of immigration lawlessness, on comprehensive immigration enforcement and an end to birthright citizenship?

    Just to be clear: you’re going to enjoy watching a fellow citizen have his children, his assets and his freedom violently seized by agents of the government because he paid slightly less than the ~50% tax that the federal government demands. What a lovely perspective on the role of government.

    A couple of commenters above #21 and #57 – have touched on the “slippery slope” argument that this kind of chiseling on taxes leads to.

    OK, so somebody says, “I’m withholding the 15% that goes to national defense.” Fine. Why wouldn’t somebody else’s “conscience” dictate that they withhold the percentage that goes to say, welfare payments?

    This kind of “reasoning” – if it can be called that – is simply an invitation for tax chiselers of all stripes to rationalize an excuse for not paying part of their taxes. I don’t care how much lipstick they slather on it, it’s still a pig.

    On another subject:

    Let’s see what chickenhawks I can find who are/recently were actually, oh say, IN POLITICS and who actually, oh say, MAKE POLICY.

    Don’t forget those chickenhawks Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt; true, they’re not around to make policy today, but both ordered hundreds of thousands of uniformed personnel to death and grievous injury and never served a day themselves.

    There ought to be a version of Godwin’s Law applicable to anyone making the “chickenhawk” argument these days. It’s so stupid, on so many levels, and has been refuted so many times, that it’s really become nothing more than an admission of intellectual bankruptcy.

    Gee, there are so many things the federal government does with our money that I disagree with. However, I pay taxes in the knowledge that the majority of the money funds the health of this great nation.

    People like this have been around since the Revolution. In 1790 Alexandar Hamiliton went to great lengths with legislation designed to persuade people to pay their taxes. British loyalists and mercenaries continued to refuse American taxation and created violent havoc in this nation up until the end of the War of 1812.

    Idiots like this are not patriots and deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Regardless of their political or spiritual beliefs, this is a pre-meditated act of anarchy that fringes on traitorous activity.

    Oh well, it takes all types to make this great blue marble go round and round. Have a great day everyone

    Not a major problem as moonbats prefer to copulate with womyn who tend to abort their offspring.
    But I’m lovin’ this idea of directing your taxes to fund what you deem worthy. Sort of like the Presidential Election Campaign Fund but on a more massive scale. Let the gov’t allocate funding from 85% of the general tax revenue, and let the taxpayer decide what department(s) they want their remaining 15% to go to. Make them more accountable to the people who pay their salaries.

    This is a great idea and I hope more of them jump on board. The IRS is going to love them with the penalities and fees they end up having to pay.

    RE #17…I couldn’t agree more with the list you made. The neatness, calmness, not wanting attention…..all so true. My brother is my personal hero yet he refuses to participate in parades and such. To him, he is just doing his job. As for punctuality??? I was 3 minutes late in getting my son to my brother’s house to work. He gave me a lecture about it. But I did (kindly) tell him that when I enlist in the Corp, THEN I will be working on his schedule. lol lol

    I guess its safe to say that logic is not the strong suit of these moonbats. They seem to think there is someone at the IRS wearing a green eyeshade that sees their check come in 15% light and says: “Their short. I better take this out of the defense budget”

    In reality, only 15% of their 15% would be withheld from Defense. The other 85% of their 15% would be taken out of programs they love.

    Oh, wait! The neocons are in charge of the IRS! The whole 15% will come out food stamps for illegal aliens.

    My response to this lunacy, is to ask them why are they not human shields? There is no age limit to become one, and it is better way to stop the US and Coalition forces, instead of hanging out at a protest with a silly sign.

    watershed-
    If you’re going to post anyone who is conservative that hasn’t served, at least be fair and put up those on the left….
    Starting with Hillary, Bill C., Osama, Pelosi, Reid, and you get the point…

    Just because someone hasn’t served, it doesn’t mean their opinions don’t count, and you have to look at their actions. For every conservative that you have named, all of them have been openly supportive of the military and its mission in both word and deed.

    Sadly, most of us can’t say the same for liberals (including veterans like kerry, murtha and innouhe)

    GSP
    BTW-alot of us here are vets, and I am willing to sign my DD 214 to release my records-Can you say the same for kerry?

    Watershed,

    In actuality, the term “Chickenhawk” has been around since Vietnam. The term originally meant those who used college deferments or other political pull to get out of military service (and yes, Clinton fits the bill – pardon the pun – while Bush does not).

    Recently, the term has been changed to mean anyone who is pro military or pro war who hasn’t served in the military. The reasoning is that those who haven’t served in the military don’t have the moral authority to make such decisions (using this logic, Clinton had no moral authority to make war in Serbia, while Bush does in Iraq).

    Of course, the unintended consequences of such a belief system, is that logically, those who have not served in the military have no moral authority to oppose war either…

    I doubt that our founding fathers thought this way. You see, using this standard, even Lincoln was a chickenhawk.
