WHERE DID THE CONSTITUTION GO? Here are some answers. (IMPORTANT!)

When I beat the IRS, I used Supreme Court decisions. If I had tried to use these in court, I would have been convicted.

I was involved with a patriot group and I studied supreme Court cases. I concluded that the supreme Court had declared that I was not a person required to file an income tax--that the tax was an excise tax on privileges granted by government. So I quit filing and paying income taxes, it was not long before they came down on me with a heavy hand. They issued a notice of deficiency, which had such a fantastic sum on it that the biggest temptation was to go in with their letter and say, "Where in the world did you ever get that figure?" They claimed I owed them some $60,000. But even if I had been paying taxes, I never had that much money, so how could I have owed them that much?

Sent them an email, thanks.

Your successful effort in proving you are an expert on very fat things that fall off walls reinforces everyones opinion of you.

Don't you even check your sources? Posting incorrect references it just reduces your credibility.

[yoe]

Delightful! I read it through for probably the 20'th time in my life. Thanks.

You corrected me to impress other readers that you are more knowledgeable than I am. If your efforts were to make me more credible, you would have emailed me in private.

Dumb people are impressed with mastery of detail and find it very important. Smart people are impressed with the mastery of strategic thinking. It is the prime difference between smart and dumb people and their perception as to who is credible and who is not.

In the future perhaps you should confine yourself to impressing dumb people. I'll bet you are very good at it.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Would you like some Brie with that whine?

I will complement you in public when you deserve it. So far you seem only to be angry that I pointed out your ignorance.

I work in the Graybar building in New York. Am I in trouble?

"White Man's Ghost Dance'

Perhaps a very apt metaphor. Sad, if the metaphor is 'true'.

[Roscoe]

Never mind what words like "Sovereign Citizen" or "Lawful Money" mean -- what does "abracadabra" mean? -- it's what they do that counts. Unfortunately, Constitutionalist words don't do anything but lose court cases and invite sanctions. Constitutionalism is the white man's version of the Ghost Dance. Believing you are invulnerable to bullets puts you in more, not less, danger of being shot.

[headsonpikes]

Yes, certainly a striking metaphor. I like it for that reason alone!

I have no illusion that I am bulletproof. ;^)

[general_re]

But when they start getting into these dogmas such as "The Constitution only recognizes laws that involve an injured party, and that don't compel performance" or some such, when anyone the least bit conversant with American history knows that to be utterly false, I just can't give them any credibility.

Rational thought has been known to impair one's ability to accept this sort of thing ;)

I hope this guy has a Sam's Club membership. That way he can get the tin foil he needs so much of by the case, cheap.

[inquest]

Has that been my problem? Tpaine advised me to get help, I guess that's what he was referring to.

[rdb3]

Such simple, irrefutable common sense, Tator. Now let's see how many understand it.

[Demidog]

A Harvard educated lawwer once told me that the common law was dead. She was wrong. So is this vapid author you link.

[Roscoe]

It's as good as dead to delusional ignoramuses who read all manner of nonsense into it. You know, like claiming that the "common law" exempts "white couples" from marriage licenses.

[AlligatorEyes]

>But the law is what ever the judges say it is.<

BINGO! We have a winner!

Common law exempts ALL couples from marriage licenses. God you always get it so wrong.

[Roscoe]

Common law exempts ALL couples from marriage licenses.

Actually, only 10 states recognize common-law marriages contracted within their borders.
