Conservative Civil Disobedience

If enough people break a small and oppressive regulation, something will have to be done at the government level. Think Tea Tax and Boston Harbor. Right now the inmates are running the asylum that is America (and Canada, as referenced by Steyn). It’s time for us to revolt. If our phonecalls and pleas to representatives are falling on deaf ears, then we have to do something to make them take notice. No, not bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City. But how about the equivelent of what Mr. Steyn and Ms. Shaidle do every day? They ridicule the rules, post over-the-top and “offensive” articles, and make people laugh at the absurdity of silencing thought and opinion.

Is it legal to mail tea bags? Would it be considered harassment or terrorism or any other crime on the books?

I thought about mailing vacuum packed bacon - and hoping it would stink by the time it got to DC.

Better check the counterfitting laws. You might have a problem scanning real fed currency.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I linked to a picture that is in the article. I didn't scan anything.

Every living thing has rights according to the DUmmies and dOpes. Count your guppies, your chinchillas, your plants and the basement mold you used to have. The mold deserves some reparations for having been removed.

“How are they going to prosecute if 10 Million people do this though?”

Give them amnesty?

“Yep, Claim 50 Deductions are your W-2.”

That’s a start, then come 4-15 we could send them IOUs pleading for bailout.

However, I much prefer Ron Paul’s approach to federal income tax.

RP: “When I say cut taxes, I don’t mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing.”

Abolishing the fed income tax would restore our liberty and return the fed to it’s Constitutional limits. ‘OMG what a friggin nightmare.’

Everyone should, just because it is good stewardship of your own money, determine what their tax liability is likely to be and setup your deductions accordingly. Allowing the government at any time to take money from you that you do not and will not owe is foolish. Why should you allow them to have control of your money when you do not owe it and will not.

> I am designing a bumper sticker

I made one for my car that reads:

   BLAME THE
OBAMA VOTERS

To avoid having my car keyed in parking lots, I bought a blank magnetic bumper sticker and affixed the printed sticker to that. I take the sticker off the car when I'm parked.

We haven’t filled out a Census for years. I refuse to. One year we had one that asked how many toilets we had. Not bathrooms, TOILETS. KABOOM, they jumped over the line in the sand and we have refused to have anything to do with one since.

Stamping it would not make it unfit to be reissued. In fact it kind of livens it up a little.

OK folks, this is easy to do:

Just run the banks.

Go pull all of your cash out at once. Demand it, all of it. Don’t tell them why.

Just go pull your cash.

(what’s that knock on my door?)

Start a public petition stating, “I, the undersigned, will no longer be responsible for any debts other than mine own, including those of my elected and appointed representatives in the federal, state and local goverments.” ala divorce court

I like this except we put it in the newspaper. Then call the local tv stations and the newspapers telling why you put it in. That may wake up some of the sleeping masses.

Yes, and ACORN is going to over-report in areas like Philly to keep power. People in Red States should respond accordingly.

If you live in a dem area under report by one or two.

It would be great if Rush and Sean would pose a what if question? "What if all my listeners decided to misreport the number of people in their household? What would the Obama administration do if twenty million - 30 million people just appeared in republican districts and 10 million people disappeared from democrat districts?" It would be nice if they would do something like that until the O decided to not politicize the census.

“...if half white/black Bozo can claim to be black, I can.”

Actually, Bozo isn’t half white/black; he’s 1/16 black — same as you. I say, “Go for it. You’re officially African-American as far as the census taker is concerned.” Cool!
