It may be trivial but it's indicative of the corruption brought about by our perpetual wars.

Normally you might call the IRS an evil agency and demand that it be abolished along with the income tax, but here you are gleefully using the IRS for your own purposes. This tells me that your positions are not principled, but opportunistic. You will gladly use the state for your own purposes, and your successes will make you enjoy your newfound power. Why, it's not so bad. You could do a lot of good with that vast machine of compulsion and destruction.

Then you will end up like the demented and corrupt Bill Bennett who urges the government to educate us about right and wrong.

Normally, I'd call our tax laws incomprehensible and overly-burdensome, but I'd not call them evil.

I do, on the other hand, find the consistent abuse of their non-profit status by the anti-gun organizations to be bothersome - and I am actually quite thrilled that one of these groups has put itself in a position where an investigation will be done.

The IRS is an evil agency. Perhaps we ought to suggest to our opponents, as they suffer under it's weight, that it's time to abolish it?

After all, they're the experts when it comes to using the IRS to shut down conservative politics, selectively using it against churches who allow conservative politicians to speak while ignoring those who openly lobby on behalf of liberalism.

Until then, you're advocating sticking with Gentleman's rules in a Viet Nam firefight.
You lose when you do that...every time.

"Citizens for a Safer Minnesota"

I can't think of a better group to have that name than a pro-rights, pro-self defense organization. Put it this way, the anti's should have had that name in the first place.
