“Another thread listing the following link as a possible screed from Joseph Stack”

Joseph Stack, looks like those Muslim terrorists are getting very creative with their names..

[Poe White Trash]

No, I don't work for the IRS. My math skills aren't poor enough.

REAL fascism would shut down FR in the blink of an eye, noodle Jim Robinson and his staff, and the hunt down registered FR posters for "special attention." Don't kid yourself.

Assuming this guy had a beef with the IRS, his actions didn’t help himself, his family, or anyone else. Just makes him out to be a nutter.

[Poe White Trash]

Actually, you're forgetting the tens of millions of babies who have been "legally" murdered since Roe v Wade.

I, for one, do not believe that murder is the appropriate response, even to "legal" abortion.

Also, our Founding Fathers were not vigilantes, which is what the murderers in _Unintended Consequences_ are.

Yeah... Not too well.

If we had to have a revolution to respond to every president I despised, I would have participated in at least 3 revolutions since I was born. Doesn't seem like a reasonable way of running a country to me.

It was an act of desperate rebellion from an American who is fed-up with a tyrannical government. Denninger just posted a ticker on this: This Is How It Begins (Wanton Violence)

The guy even wrote a suicide/homicide note on the internet before making this final act: Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man... take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

Better click that link and read it fast, before they take it down.

Attempt at idiotic strawman noted.

Fighting an out of control government in both cases. Or do you actually approve of government agents acting fully outside of their legitimate authority? For Vigilantes, you have the wrong story. You are thinking Vin Suprynowicz's Black Arrow. Another excellent book.

Doesn't seem like a reasonable way of running a country to me.

Me neither. Which is why we have a Constitution for our Republic. Of course, the government no longer follows the Constitution and we are no longer operating AS a Republic... Which poses particularly thorny problems when you try to peacefully get the system to correct itself by using the system.

When this fails:
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson

We do not live in happy times...

Thanks for the “No true fascist” fallacy.

I completely agree. Congress are the “nutters”.

[Poe White Trash]

Actually, you're forgetting the tens of millions of babies who have been "legally" murdered since Roe v Wade.

Attempt at idiotic strawman noted.

Actually, I was agreeing with you on the point that there exists US-gov't sponsored murder in the US. I thought your argument was too restrained.

Also, our Founding Fathers were not vigilantes, which is what the murderers in _Unintended Consequences_ are.

Fighting an out of control government in both cases. Or do you actually approve of government agents acting fully outside of their legitimate authority?

Actually, our FFs were fighting taxation without representation. The colonies literally had no representation in Parliament.

I don't "approve of government agents acting fully outside of their legitimate authority."

Nor do I approve of sedition, seditious talk, or idle chatter about "fightin' da Man" by folks who peddle grand fantasies but who singularly lack the organizational skills and political vision that -- thank God -- our Founding Fathers possessed in full measure.

We do not live in happy times...

Agreed. But flying your plane into the IRS building, or getting your head shot off while playing Revolutionary Patriot, aren't going to make them any happier.

[VRWCmember]

More likely some Republic of Texas secessionist nutter.

No, more like an anti-religion, Bush-hating, anti-capitalism, wealth-envying nutbag who probably voted for hope and change.

[Poe White Trash]

Thanks for the non sequitor fallacy.

>> Maybe they told him they were going to seize his plane in a tax lien and he was just delivering it. <<

You just wait, the MSM will finally connect the “dots” between the Tea Partiers and the Anti-Tax sentiment out there and they will say this was caused by Palin, you just wait.

Cf. post #119 on this thread. There’s text and a link that should answer your question.

[VRWCmember]

That item leads to strong suspicions that his name is Mohammed or Sancho Iligalo and is thus a member of a protected species.

Joseph Andrew Stack.

RAW DATA: Joseph Andrew Stack Suicide Manifesto

[VRWCmember]

“nutter who was distraught because he realised Debra Medina has no chance in the 2 March GOP primary”

I’ll not bet the farm on that horse thanks.

After reading his manifesto, it is unlikely he would be following the GOP primary with any interest. His hatred of W and the GOP is viceral. Probably a hope and change voter if he engaged in voting at all. OTOH, if he did vote, I would expect he voted for Kinky Friedman in the last gubernatorial race.

[VRWCmember]

And what was the last thing to go through his mind before he died? The windshield.

Either that or his @$$.
