   Sorry for being slow, but what are the “Women in Black?” For an instant I had the image of a group of Burga-clad followers of the ROSE (Religion Of Submission Everywhere.) Then I realized, they wouldn’t be hanging around the Pink Ladies. Not their type.

   Note: I do expect in a generation that the Pink Ladies will be contentedly wearing Burqas, but that is another matter for another time.

   Then I was thinking of the amusing “Men in Black” movies. I’m missing something vital, I’m sure, for those women have no sense of humor.

   The country cannot survive without military. It also cannot survive without taxes. Are not people who trash the IRS also traitors? What about Quakers who refuse to serve in the military on religious grounds?

   Bottom line: be careful when you call someone else a nut.

   I laughed at the idiot on that video saying;

   “but all I’ve known is death and destruction and killing and maiming for my whole life, and I’m tired of it”

   ..living in Berkeley all you’ve known is death and destruction and killing and maiming? Your whole life? Really? So in what neighborhood of Berkeley is that exactly? Seems to me you should be calling in the marines, not throwing them out.

   This moron does not have the slightest clue about anything beyond his own little world, and the idea the he has experienced ‘death and destruction and killing and maiming’ in any way whatsoever (other than watching some rental horror video) is beyond absurd.

   Absolutely clueless.

    One time - just one time today, I’ll indulge and feed the troll…

    Lgm: You cannot equate the United States Marines with the Internal Revenue Service. It’s one thing to have a negative opinion of a government branch which takes your money, no matter how necessary it may be. It’s another to disparage and denegrate a 232 year old institution which has defended this country and has done so mainly through volunteer citizen sacrifice and determination.

    As to the ‘Quaker’ scenario - I highly doubt anyone here would rail against anyone who was against war based on their religion’s call for peace. Also, I don’t see any Quakers chaining themselves across a recruiter’s doorway wearing blaze orange jumpsuits and black hoods, calling our troops baby killers and mass murderers.

    Our country has an outlet for those religious objections even when there was a draft - it was called ‘conscientious objectors’ and they weren’t forced into battle.

    The fact is that these code-pink people have found that they are too inept and incapable of changing the course of the policies set forth in DC - so they’ve moved their protests to a more welcome atmosphere - Berkeley.

    It certainly seems that Ms Benjamin and the others seem to travel quite a bit - Washington, California, etc…. must be nice to not have a job and just travel on donation money all over the country and world - getting famous for being rebellious - all paid for by others.

    Says more about you than us.

    JRL is spot on. There is legitimate concenr about the need of the IRS, when there may be more efficient and effective manners of producing income for the government. An example of a legit IRS gripe might be their ability to sieze property without due process in a civil matter. Shouldn’t anyone concerned about individual rights be concerned about that? The Marine Corps does not have that right.

    So, tell us how they are the same. And please do not embarrass yourself by injecting times of ‘civil unrest,’ in other words riots.

    Typical liberal retorts- haters, homophobes, zeonphobes, racists - why rely on logic to make your case, when injecting invectives, and emotion to a discussion makes you feel so superior?

    Trolls have no logical thought processes to support their notions. Theirs will always be emotionally-based responses. They will always be counted on to present unsubstantiated “facts,” use dubious surveys or polls, and ultimately demonize those who actually CAN produce unaltered facts.

    So, why bother feeding the trolls? They add nothing to a discussion, other than a dissenting, whining points of view, and mischaracterizations of fact.

    The term “Vagina Warriors” is so, wrong. Generally, when any term is couple with the word “warrior”, it connotes one who fights for a cause reflected in the word preceding it. “Peace Warriors” would connote those fighting for peace. Do they really mean to imply that they are fighting for Vaginas? Frankly, the phrase would probably be more appropriate for a group of horny college frat brothers.

    I would offer them a humble suggestion. Since they insist on using a term that includes both a part of the female anatomy and a term that offers insight into their cause, why not just call themselves “BOOBS”?

    You said it yourself. You argue. If you could maintain a conversation based on facts (Even if you tossed in the occasional opinion) you would probably get by much easier in life than you will by arguing.

    That being said, it is what turns so many [rational] people off to liberalism. Ideas outside of their collective thought are met with emotional outbursts and arguments rather than an examination of facts and rational discussion.

    Then again, I suppose they have their own definition of rational as evidenced by their actions.

    As to your posts above, I do have an observation.

    If you actually looked at lgm’s comments, you’d see he doesn’t seem to have any interest in arguement. He popped in and dropped a statement, which was then rebutted by JRL. lgm’s substance was directly challenged with a good, reasoned argument.

    Later, Blind_Mule kicked in a humorous cartoon. (Although it could have been better if it had a peace sign tattoo on it’s arm.)

    lgm’s response to the two posts was to make a silly comment about the ‘don’t feed troll’ post, while ducking the substantive post by JRL.

    Quite frankly, if that is the way a liberal is going to respond, perhaps they don’t deserve the respect of actual debate.

    Bottom line: be careful when you call someone else a nut.

    This stupid remark is a joke, right?

    Abusive tax laws were the reason this country was founded! The current socialist income tax is another reason for the patriotic in this country to stand up and fight. We need to kill all socialism before it destroys us.

    As for the IRS, they have routinely violated constitutional rights. They kick down doors without warrants, they steal property under the color of law, they use fear and intimidation to acheive compliance of voluntary tax laws, they are what is WRONG with this country.

    The military does not kick down doors and drag U.S. citizens off to prison. It does not steal property or use fear and intimidation to force people to voluntarily pay taxes. This isn’t like North Korea, China, the (former) Soviet Union, where the military is conscripted and will do the government’s bidding. Our military is made up of citizen soldiers that understand that freedom is not free and must be paid in blood. The Supreme Soviet of Berkeley is a bunch of overage adolescents. Taking away any federal money would serve them right.

    My father fought in WWII to stop the National Socialist scum, and what have we done? We’ve taken the worst of National Socialism and allowed the IRS to use those very tactics that this country fought against. Those same tactics are what liberals deem “necessary” for tax collecton.

    I have no argument against taxes, per se. Yes, governments do need money. My argument is HOW they are collected and HOW MUCH the government really needs. The military is constitutionally mandated, though the funding must be voted on every two years. Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, etc. are all unconstitutional and should be stopped.

    There are ways for the government to collect taxes without using Gestapo-esque tactics to enforce the tax laws. Go read the FairTax book and learn what freedom can be.

    As for the Quakers, jrlingreenbay has it right and nothing more need be said about it.

    As far as being an “idiological drone with authoritarian tendencies” goes, that is so far from the truth, it is rediculous. I believe in the power of right, and don’t need anyone to tell me how to think. And authoritarian? What have you ever read, that I penned, that would make you think that? Is it because I believe in the rule of law, and feel those who bend it for personal gain (some lawyers) are helping to destroy America? All I ask of anyone is to use reason and common sense when making an argument.

    I hope, being a “traditional” conservative, your views would be more in tune with mine, since I am a Reagan-type conservative. Apparently, the interpretation of conservative, depends on what meaning you give it. We differ.

    Answering JohnHolliday (#45)

    Abusive tax laws were the reason this country was founded!

    Are you saying we don’t need taxes? And by the way, abusive conscription also was an issue. This motivated one of rights in the bill of rights

    Amendment III

    No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

    As for the IRS, they have routinely violated constitutional rights. They kick down doors without warrants,

    If that ever happened (supply a link), it was illegal.

    The military does not kick down doors and drag U.S. citizens off to prison.

    President Bush has done just this, had a US citizen arrested on US soil and “detained” as an enemy combatant without an arrest warrant and without filing charges. MM and her readers have defended his right to do this.

    We’ve taken the worst of National Socialism and allowed the IRS to use those very tactics that this country fought against.

    Now, Sir or Madam, you have gone too far. The worst NAZI tactics were mass murder of entire ethnic groups (Jews, Gypsies, ..).

    It is clear that a government needs a source of income to function. Do you want an agency that can sieze property without due process in civil matters? The IRS has routinely done this.

    Tell me: do you get a warm fuzzy feeling when you stroke a check to the IRS? It may be a necessary thing to do, but that doesn’t make most poeple feel better about it.

    No and no. I don’t want such an agency and it isn’t such an agency. Many of the IRS scare stories turn out to be bogus. (I’ve had my share of frustrating interactions with the IRS and got my share of threatening letters from them. It was their mistake & they never actually violated my rights.)
