I was supposed to look at a job this morning and the guy was talking about a black family and said nigger this nigger that. I called him back and told him I was too busy. We've all got some prejudices but we don't have to be ugly about it.
And Tao I'm not sure what you consider liberal but if it's using common sense, being pragmatic, having an open mind and being compassionate about others then yes I'm a liberal.

Absolutely. This is the same thing as being a Libertarian, except that we also include financial sense and realism for good measure. But hey, 3 out of 6 aint bad!

That makes you a classic lib, not a progressive. Unfortunately, that also makes you a dying breed along with the rest of us, who's views aren't all that different from yours in many regards.

Oh yeah? I am assuming he along with much of the RINO party are out to squash true conservative pro constitution citizens.

I don't know anything about that. But I do know it's absurd to call these political action groups, regardless of their politics, "social welfare agencies," and I also know that there is a tax exempt category made to order for political organizations. It is 527. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/527_organization

As a citizen, do you want to know (are you entitled to know?) were someone or group with a political agenda is getting their money and how much? It's that simple, Lucrum.

Wouldn't the money used to pay fines be our tax money to start with? How does that punish them?

How bout firing some people. No retirement, no bennies, done. You break the law, you pay. How bout prison time? Set an example. That solves the "rogue agent" problem right out of the gate (not that it really exists, but just in case...wink).

==================
Good points I agree with most of them;except its real hard to predict the exact outcome even in a victorious, massive case. Even before the trial ,Senator [R-TN]Lamar alexander chief of staff hung himself, real recently.

Even if you do not count IRS drug seizureszures/ penaltys[paid from procrastinators/ tax cheats...]And really you have to count those......

Really, that massive ACLJ suit sounds like an excellant idea; even though Pres Clinton had articles of impeachment filed against him......He lost his law liscense.;;So payday some day.Besides since time is money, those patriot groups were somewhat damaged dollar wise.....................................................................................................

:cool:Thanks for question

I do. But why stop there? I mean, this was supposed to be the Most Transparent Administration Ever™. Should I list all the things that your boy Obama has stonewalled on?

Only gets angry about it when it's a right issue, is that it?

I'll consider the source of that statement.

While a target of the NRA-lobby, Schumer has supported hunters, sponsoring legislation to provide millions in outdoor recreation grants to landowners who allow hunting and fishing on their private property. Field and Stream Magazine designated Schumer one of its 2008 Hero Awards for his efforts.[52] Schumer is also a supporter of providing hunters with tax deductions for donating venison and other game to feeding programs.[53] In response to a question in a debate during his 2010 reelection campaign, Schumer has denied having a hand gun or a permit for one and has produced a letter from NYPD stating that neither he nor his wife Iris Weinshall has a hand-gun license from NYC. In a statement from Brian Fallon, a Schumer aide, he "insisted that except for winning an NRA marksmanship award at age 14, the senator does not own a gun or have a license to carry one".[54]

Thanks i did not know about Field + Stream Award!!

As far as Senator Schumer winning an age 14 year old NRA marksmanship medal;
well, i told you i believe in miracles:D I'll pray he does that again!!
 
well then lets go back and wipe out the status of every group and let them start again according to consistent standards.

and while we are at it... lets apply the same scrutiny to political work of every union and every other organization.

Push for that... and I will take your argument more seriously. right now you seem to be pushing for the illegal and inconsistent use of govt pressure upon conservative groups.
