Sorry. I’m still not seeing it.
Then by all means, have a double.
Well said.
Lets see now, any water events happening this weekend?
I think this is a very important point that you bring up.
It was said that Timothy McVeigh was able to justify the OKC bombings in his own mind by agreeing with the philosophical premise of "The Turner Diaries," namely:
1. If the government becomes a tyranny, and
2. The government was freely elected
Then all of the following are valid targets of physical violence:
1. Government leaders because they are enacting the tyrannical laws and overseeing the whole process
2. Government agents because they are enforcing the tyrannical laws
3. Average citizens because they voted in the tyrants.
I know you don't believe that, but I do believe that the nutjob who flew his plane into the IRS probably believed something like this. In his screed he blames the leaders, the enforcers, and the general public. He aims at the enforcers because he believes it will have the greatest impact, not because he believes they are any more or less culpable.
I believe that the general public is just as responsible for the general state of things as are our leaders. The enforcers of the law are probably the least culpable as they are merely enforcing laws that were crafted by duly elected officials.
I believe that justice will only come when our debts reach so high that huge sections of the populace are crushed under its weight. Europe is now feeling this as their population ages and their welfare payments start outstripping their tax base. Because we did capitalism a bit better than they did, we have a little more ways to go before the pile of debt collapses.
It would be nice if we could solve the problem before the problem destroys our country, but it looks like the general public is bound and determined to drive over the cliff before they apply the brakes.
This nutjob's plane was just a pesky little mosquito squashed by the windshield of the wreck we're driving headlong over the precipice.
CNN’s article has a pdf of the whole thing. The efforts to keep his rantings offline have failed.
While the media is pushing the meme that this was strictly an anti-tax screed, the reality of his targets can be seen in his writings. Bush is called out by name. The Catholic Church is called out by name.
The media glossed over the anti-religious aspects of the Virginia Tech shooter’s rantings as well.
The communist creed:
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed:
From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

I haven’t had time to read everything, but has anyone looked at the possibility that this nutjob used radio control and is still alive? (Maybe I’ve seen too many TV shows!)
Fox news reports & so every other news is saying “This is NOT a terrorist action.”
It IS terrorism....against our govt agency...against our contry..against our govt...!
But I guess if its from the Left its “not terrorism”!
A little like marxist Jim Jones and his Jonestown massacre.
Your brother apparently doesn’t know jack squat about being a libertarian then, and obviously neither do you.
Thank you for putting your ignorance on display in post # 35 for all to see. I’m bookmarking it for future reference.
You were much nicer than me :)
Right now, he is probably ranting to the Devil about how unfair God is.
“Oh! I thought he was Obama’s speech writer.”
Best line of the day!
Two bodies recovered at crash site, officials say
Officials said two bodies have been recovered from the Northwest Austin building that was hit by a small plane this morning.
FBI spokesman Eric Vasys said tonight that one body had been recovered from the building earlier in the day, and that it is believed to be that of suspected pilot Andrew Joseph Stack. Vasys said the body was sent to forensic evidence specialists for confirmation.
Vasys said another body was found later in the day.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo confirmed that a body was recovered this afternoon, but he could not confirm whether it was the pilot or a missing federal employee.
Killing alone doesn't make him a terrorist. But, killing innocent people and writing a political manifesto beforehand sure does.

The media is proving that Joseph Stack is right. No one cares about what you have to say until there is a body count. Then everyone cares. But does it always have to be this way?
This is a lesson that our media has taught us and continues to reinforce that lesson each and every time a national tragedy like this occurs. If you have a grievance with your community, with your tenure committee, with your peers at school, with the U.S. Army or the IRS or the federal government and it seems like no one is listening to you, take heart! All you have to do is engage in a horrific act of spectacular violence and the media will instantly broadcast whatever message you have to millions within the hour.
