IRS Scandal

gottcha, designer clothes

More their attitude towards non designer clothes, or rather, the people who wear them.
But way to side skirt what was actually said. Didn't quite turn it around though. Maybe next time, bud.

My problem is this ... A person is posting negative comments about one religion. If a person has the guts to make fun of Christianity, why doesn't that person have the guts to call out all religion? I'm all for freedom of speech, but what happened to equality? JustAlex is stating that it is unfair for one group to express their beliefs, but at the same time, is picking on another group of people. I understand this is a Politics/Religion board, but this thread was completely political. I'm just trying to figure out how religion even came into play.

I'm sorry, you are right ... I shouldn't be here if I don't want to deal with the bantering. Normally, I'm okay with doing so. I guess I just read the post at the wrong time. I'm not having a good time right now. I'm 27 years old and am losing close friends on what seems to be a daily basis. Don't mind my complaining, I won't do it again.

To all reading this, once again I'm sorry

You are part of a large volunteer Military Force. I don't know how I would handle all the guys next to me getting killed. I'd probably be in the same predicament as you are. However. Choices of career in the USA are still choices.

You are extremely young, and have your whole life ahead of you. Many intelligent Marines are hired ad-hoc in America. You can probably choose when the time is right for you, and begin a new career that you can embrace with the same enthusiasm, yet retain more happiness, and less physical and mental anguish. Your GI Bill will also help in this regard, should you need some skills in the civilian world that the Marines have not afforded you.

Most of us Atheists on this board, myself included aren't trying to sway somebody over to our side. Some of us have had decision altering circumstances that have brought us to today. We are all in agreement about one thing. ....... Common Sense.

No adults showed common sense when I was a small child, and was herded like a dumb sheep, threatened and bullied into the christian religion. I was not allowed to question, I was not allowed to ask questions even when they were logical. I was only told, told, told how rotten I was and how insignificant my life was.

I grew to adulthood, went on a 45 year trip of discovery, (that I am still on), all of it based by my treatment by adults within the framework of several christian organizations. My first question as an adult, was the blindness and the intolerance that I saw from others, especially adults when it came to their religion.

If you are unable to ask questions about your religion and it bothers you, like it did me, then perhaps it's time to find out why. That's what I have done.

People are free to practice any religion they desire, just leave me out of the nonsense where the questions and behaviour and nepotism are left aside in favour of indoctrination or pure acceptance without query.

alex, this is a civil rights issue. whether you like the group or not, you should be for the constitution, at least you always say you are. but now you are ok with civil rights violations because it is a group you do not like.

Actually it is criminal IMHO this has nothing to do with rights. This is gov't sponsored terrorism against people they don't agree with. Much like Rubio said it is all very third world. Much like Romney said if I were to read between the lines, 47 millions grovel in third world conditions and won't vote for (me). They seem to enjoy waiting out is sub freezing conditions in rain and snow trying to get there grubby hands on a Obama phone now that I think about it and seem to enjoy it as they do.

Look at the GOP and conservatives go....WHOO HOO!!!

This is like christmas in May!

Everyone ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!!!


Oh noes, the IRS is investigating people who hate paying taxes and advocate for "Revolution".....oh noes the IRS has NEVER done something like that to other groups!

[shrewsbury]

the facts are the IRS is breaking the constitutional rights of Americans, and you think it is ok, because you do not like what they stand for (or at least what you accuse them of standing for)

funny how you complain about constitutional rights when it is about separated religion from state

Despite what conservatives believe President Obama is not the King of the world nor does he control everything that goes on with an iron fist. If anyone believes that this type of thing is the work of President Obama keep dreaming.

It's just a matter of time until it comes out that the President was aware that the IRS was targeting his political enemies and that he didn't just find out about it by watching the news.

The left thought they had their perfect candidate to implement the big government that they always wanted and all we've seen is more corruption and more scandals. Does anyone really want the IRS involved with their healthcare?

And with everything that has happened, do people really want to give more power and more money to the blood sucking scumbags in Washington DC?

[Wickabee]

Boy I'll be glad when a Republican gets back in the white house. You guys should change the laws so what a President can do is not dependant on party.

Why does Obama have more power than Bush had?

[shrewsbury]

I don't think he does, nor do I think Obama is behind this.

[Wickabee]

Well, you're alone in conservativeworld on that one.
