Guess you missed this..... "There are lots of tax protesters who have won cases against the IRS, such as John Cheek, Lloyd Long, and Vernice Kuglin." No. There are a handful of people who have avoided criminal (but not civil) penalties by convincing a jury that they were too stupid or...

My own observations of tax protesters lead me to believe that the actions of tax protesters are driven by emotional or psychological needs that are more complicated than simple greed, and that the “arguments” they present to the IRS and the courts are really nothing but elaborate...

Why do tax protesters keep violating the laws, and keep litigating, even after it is clear that they have lost and have no valid arguments? If the assertions addressed in this FAQ are so ridiculous, why do people believe them? One answer, and simplest answer, is greed. People would rather...

Paranoid (and Other) Delusions Certain arguments of tax protesters transcend legal fallacies, and can only be described as neurotic or psychotic delusions. "There are lots of tax protesters who have won cases against the IRS, such as John Cheek, Lloyd Long, and Vernice Kuglin." No...

There are a wide variety of ways that psychological denial can be expressed by a person who is unconsciously defending or protecting themselves from unwanted knowledge, thoughts, or feelings. What follows is a partial list of denial strategies. Human ingenuity being what it is, I couldn't...

Ok... But because of this, are they now excluded from the accepted policy in America of civilians (you and I both) running the military? Do you believe in excluding them from the democratic process?

CHICKENHAWKS The Chickenhawk argument goes something like this: anyone who favors military action should not be taken seriously unless they themselves are willing to go and do the actual fighting. This particular piece of work is an anti-war crowd attempt to silence the debate by ruling that...

Exactly ZZzz... Here's a good one too..

engaging a person in denial can be a endless task. As I said in Part II, "You can lead a denier to reality, but you can't make him/her think."

DEALING WITH OTHERS IN DENIAL .......... • Don't give into the temptation to call them names or to do unto them what they might be doing unto you… Sometimes you may think you have put an issue to rest and successfully argued your point; only to discover that later the denier will...

Libertarians and the War Ron Paul doesn't speak for all of us. BY RANDY E. BARNETT Tuesday, July 17, 2007 12:01 a.m. EDT While the number of Americans who self-identify as "libertarian" remains small, a substantial proportion agree with the core stances of limited constitutional...

Agreed, it's not just about the DP, but they're definitely the tip of the spear, and I have reservations about their motivations, based on their past history. I would disagree somewhat about the reporters - jail or barring doesn't fit with the ideals here. Better to let them bury themselves...

You're right, so I'll amend to: All accused profess their innocence, so this means nothing. Thx for the oppurtunity to correct myself. :D :D :p :p

No, I'd say that's significant, if true. But I'd also say a lot of information is left out or possibly misrepresented. 1- lack of a gun or DNA means nothing, this isn't the fantasy world of CSI. Remember that the shell casings were linked to a shooting earlier that Davis was at.That's...
