The difference is, I don’t believe in tax fraud. If a group does, then investigate them closely

Obama has said “outrage” and “I will not tolerate it” concerning IRS actions

if they are true

he is not showing the “so what” attitude towards this that many of his followers are exhibiting, which is to the President’s credit

**Habakkuk3** , you just broke a record–in only the second thread I’ve read with you’ve added nothing to the conversation, no wit, no tart observation, nothing. Even John Wilkes Booth’s last words have more utility than any of your posts.

I’m kicking you off my lawn. Buh-bye.

Really? Do you think it’s part of their mission to protect their franchise?

You know, guys, I notice that nobody did the customary “Welcome to the SDMB” for **Habby**. Somebody should. Not me, somebody nice.

I would give him a welcoming greeting, but we aren’t allowed to hurl the certain “salutations” at him that he deserves, even here in the pit. Shame, really.

As an Avowed Queer I can tell you exactly what we’re doing to the soil. However, if I did, they would revoke my membership.

I think it’s within limits to say “kindly welcome yourself to your own colon.”
