This is exactly what I meant in my previous post about knee-jerk reactions, and jumping to conclusions. When did I EVER advocate the death of this man? I said that he was no hero, and provided reasoning for THAT statement. Who says that I am not against big govt, much less for it? But I AM for exercising discernment. Adopting as heroes for our cause dangerous houligans who scoff at most law is no different than a Democrat rallying behind Bill & Hillary Clinton. Sell your soul and destroy the moral basis for your movement.

Wrong. Roads are maintained by state and federal gasoline taxes, not by federal income taxes

That's why I said federal taxes, not federal income taxes. I'm well aware of the difference, which is why I didn't use the word "income".

Besides, the roads are just improvements on right-of-ways that have existed from time immemorial and are vital to right to travel.

I kinda doubt that very much of I-635, the Capitol Beltway, etc. were built on ROW existing from time immemorial, or even 100 years ago.

Who said I'm in favor of a nat'l ID card? I don't want fingerprints, either, if you were waiting to throw out that accusation.

Now I see why you so admonish worship to Caesar. Your legalistic maneuverings are of the same highly refined caliber as our public officials. Perhaps if youre not one already you should apply. Anyone can make it these days.

We were only contesting federal INCOME taxes! Which makes you "dishonest" for not admitting you were wrong. That's why I'm not calling you an "idiot" - because I to am well aware of the difference, which is why I didn't use the word "idiot".
