Seems like this is somebody who bottles up and sits on resentments until finally it bursts forth.

To the contrary, this is 'research' for 'protests' and eventual pay offs. Much the same tactics Jessie Jackass uses.

Question, how did he obtain private tax records? It is my understanding private tax information is not made public.

There are so few of them per capita that when they announce a boycott, no one notices .... so now they file civil rights complaints, show up at the business (that has the temerity to support life, family and God) and burst into flames, get sympathetic “Haters!” articles written in the AP, Reuters, blogs, etc., and lobby their man in the White House.

Yep, they don’t want tolerance. They want it all: They want to turn the institution of marriage on its ear. As events this past week have shown, it ain’t gonna happen.

Yes, I believe Wed. Aug 1 was an alarm sounding , that this gay marriage thing has gone far enough, and we need to turn it back.

I had no idea that Amway was still around. I thought that they folded sometime in the 80’s.

(shameless plug) Amway IS still around and has great products that are delivered to your door (UPS). My recently graduated from college son (who does have a full time job in his major) started selling the products to kids in his college apt building and the supplements/alkaline waters to those in the sports programs. He did a nice supplemental income. He stills sells (and we buy Amway) and he keeps telling to get my own IBO and “buy from myself.”

The more I hear of the values of the higher ups, the more I am inclined to do so:)

How the heck does someone get a private citizen’s tax returns? I’d like to get my hands on the tax returns of George Soros, Al Gore, Bill Maher and the other slimeballs.

Yeah.

Karger says he has obtained tax records that show Doug DeVos gave $500,000

This sounds very orchestrated and socially tone deaf. In a just society all laws such as RICO would be applied equally. Mr. DeVos will have to take Karger to court. Not necessarily to obtain a just outcome in our corrupted system, but for the discovery phase.

....no party needed. Just look up the local Amway dealer and place a order. Hubby has always used their SA8 laundry detergent to scrub cement walkways! lol

Let them boycott away. I no longer shop at JC Penney or Target. Funny, though, how the homos get all this press on their boycotts, the “news” media ignore the boycotts of normal people.

Why is NOM a ‘hate group’? Karger can schlong anyone he wants to (and I bet he does plenty). He can even go to psycho states like CT, MA or NY to pretend he is “married”. Knock yourself out. But why is it “hate” if other states don’t wish to follow their lead and allow this absurdity?

No, they are still around... only now they don't call themselves Amway when they are trying to recruit. Two of my coworkers are really into it. It is as annoying as ever, but at least both of them are anti-Obama.

I don't really understand what they are doing or why they think that they will be successful at it... they both claim that they are running small businesses, yet they don't actually produce anything or perform any worthwhile services. They aren't even really pushing Amway products... they want you to buy stuff from Big Box retailers through them so that they get a cut... only you don't get the sale prices that you normally would... so there is no incentive for the buyer. We have been round and round on this, but their Amway handlers have played some sort of mind games on them and they can't see through the fog.

Call me a pessimist, but here’s what I see happening. The next step is to boycott and/or sue churches for not performing gay “marriages”, pastors who refuse, and businesses such as Christian bookstores. The ultimate target isn’t gay rights but outright persecution of Christians. Where does it end? I don’t think it does. Individuals could be sued for their beliefs by neighbors/co-workers/anyone who claims they have been discriminated against or that they once heard the person say something “hateful”.

Could there be employees of the IRS who leak tax information to outsiders, for a price?

I have heard that there are layers of security in the IRS, and that the IRS terminates people who sneak a peak at tax returns of prominent people, which may have happened here.

But, suppose someone took one for the team, in order to get the information?

Or, could there be gay friendly employees of the CPA firms which prepared the tax returns???

The bottom line is, for these homosexual organizations, that nothing else matters besides homosexual marriage and the homosexual agenda. So if these tax returns were obtained illegally, that’s okay, because it’s for the cause.

Some gay activists in Canada have more or less made filing grievances a cottage industry and have made quite a bit of money. They file their complaint with the so-called Human Rights Commission, demand compensation, and get it.

Pro Choice - Pro Marriage between one man & one woman = Anti-gay? Hardly!

Do not allow juvenile bully's to dominate the language.

We are in a war and we'd best arm ourselves with the truth and stiffen our spines to stand up and defend traditional marriage NOW lest it be lost forever.

You have that right, well said. And it is now or never.
