"Democrat controlled Senate"

Every post on DU containing that wretched terminology ("Democrat" instead of "Democratically&quot should be deleted unless the poster inserts (sic) after it.

no sense going any further.

I wouldn't get too excited about it.

of communism (do you even have a clue what communism is?) based on an unsubstantiated article on a conspiracy and teabagger website?

I would never disparage a politician of either party. They do such a good job on their own.

But since we're on the IRS topic:



They are such a friendly bunch.

Google images tells me its best guess is "wake up america" and finds the image at sodahead ... freerepublic ...

Ah, but silly, silly me; perhaps you got it from its (presumably) source:

The Volkster himself!

The Oleg Volk banned from DU these many years ago.

Trust him implicitly, do you?

The text shows up here: http://www.yuksrus.com/taxman.html
under the heading "Tax Collector Jokes".

Perhaps Oleg has no sense of humour. Perhaps you trust him too much.

There does seem to be truth in the claim, however. The IRS does acquire shotguns for some agents. The IRS has a Criminal Investigation Division, as I'm sure you're aware.

Drug trafficking ... money laundering ... terrorist financing. You know. That stuff.

I have to keep reminding myself here: government is bad ... government is bad ...


ps, as I light a Pall Mall ... mending complete, rehab under way; have progressed from wheelchair to walker to hobbling w/ or w/out a cane. Somehow, a wheelchair just doesn't make one feel as aged and decrepit as a bloody cane. Fourth and maybe last physiotherapy tomorrow ...

...right-clicked the image, your quest for a source would have been short and certain.

However, behind door #Oleg < http://www.a-human-right.com/ irs.jpg > we have another for you.

I have read a bit with interest of their activities at the El Paso Intelligence Center. Rather EPIC, if you don't mind the pun.

I feel another wink coming on so I'll say 'glad you're improving and try to quit smoking'.

I posted the url for the image, opening the image being how I got it.

a-human-right.com IS Oleg Volk. I know these things. You don't?

I'm just eternally gobsmacked by people who post ol' Oleg's crappy crap at Democratic Underground.

Indeed I do.

I just find myself so drawn to inspiring your gobsmackedness that can't restrain myself.

Al Capone?

The IRS wasn't who arrested him, but he's one example of the kind of "customers" they might have to deal with.

As far as I know, the CRA officer currently hounding me for some overdue GST/HST returns is armed only with her well-honed skills at whining and chiding ... and the drunk driving conviction she had the misfortune of acquiring in a very small town where things like that get reported in the local weekly and show up on the internet. (I was googling for her phone number and oops.)

I keep trying to work something into our conversation along the lines of "for pity's sake, it's a couple of late returns, it isn't like I've been driving drunk or something".

So are you doing any work on-stage? If so, remember to claim those tips when in the US.

...the wife has found that a cane, walker... doesn't make you feel near as decrepit as "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up."

Best regards

While still in the cast. Maneuvered badly while going from office chair to wheelchair, lost balance, and rather than put foot down, fell over backwards. Into the one small available space with no boxes full of books and papers still in mid-move, onto tailbone. Sat there bellowing for the co-vivant, who was unfortunately up the two flights of stairs at the complete other end of the house. Eventually, earthwormed my way out of the office, feet first, around the corners of the back entry, through the kitchen, through the dining room, pushing the @#$% wheelchair ahead of me the whole way, til I got within actual bellowing distance. Should have just sent him an email.

...the pain was short lived. Best of luck.


I'll be checking wikileaks for any pics of that. I doubt Oleg has them.

...the character Rayburn who said, "A bullet never lies."

DO you know what communism is? I had Marxism in mind but feel free to pick a flavor.

And I knew just who was being winked at, too.

Cute, but no cigar.

Those things will kill you. Oh hell have another.

How's the mending?


ETA: P.S. I meant another wink, not a cigar.

these evil old democrats gonna take those too?

that this is just another one of those fake messages going around the internet. I checked snopes and politifact and couldn't find anything on this subject. Also, there's lots of stories re. it, but all of them are from off the wall sites. Not one more mainstream site even mentions it. Does anyone think that the Administration would even attempt to pass something like this in an election year? HA!

The only mention of firearms is in what appears to be a section on hazardous material, and it says firearms are excluded from that section:

SEC. 7345. REVOCATION OR DENIAL OF PASSPORT IN CASE OF CERTAIN TAX DELINQUENCIES.

‘(a) In General- If the Secretary receives certification by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that any individual has a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000, the Secretary shall transmit such certification to the Secretary of State for action with respect to denial, revocation, or limitation of a passport pursuant to section 4 of the Act entitled ‘An Act to regulate the issue and validity of passports, and for other purposes’, approved July 3, 1926 (22 U.S.C. 211a et seq.), commonly known as the ‘Passport Act of 1926’.

‘(b) Seriously Delinquent Tax Debt- For purposes of this section, the term ‘seriously delinquent tax debt’ means an outstanding debt under this title for which a notice of lien has been filed in public records pursuant to section 6323 or a notice of levy has been filed pursuant to section 6331, except that such term does not include--

The NRA has called me 4 times in the last 3 years to tell me Obama is taking my guns. They are another fear mongering organization. Every call I have asked them to give me some evidence of their claim so I can show my friends. Each time I was answered with a dead line.

I fully support RKBA and I think the NRA is a fear mongering front for the GOP at the same time.



Oh yeah, got a link to the NRA saying this is false or just a claim?

But the horse's- ... um, -mouth ... confirmation is good to have.
