re: #83 Charles

I’m a gun owner, by the way. The retired sergeant who taught my ROTC gun safety class in high school would have beaten that Ron Paul-voting “sovereign citizen” loser into a pulp, the first time he showed a sign of acting like that.

“Sovereign citizen”? That’s a blast from the past. The reactionary anti-tax loons in our area used to refer to themselves with that description 25 years ago, when they were caught shoplifting in the store I was working at, as a justification for stealing merchandise. The rationalization was that the state sales tax (and all other taxes) were illegal, based on some process that didn’t quite rise to the level of “thought”, so they had been “overcharged” for years and were simply taking back what they were owed in goods instead of cash.

Sounds like the Ronulans have made a new set of friends out there on the fringe.
