Oh please, go tell the British Embassy to pay their crap.
Nobody hold you to any standards but yourself, if you think otherwise, you are severely deluded.
Funny how this thread is "beneath" the liberals and sophomoric yet they rant on about how Bachman's husband looks gay for days on end. Do as I say not as I do the battle cry of the left.
I'm a conservative and certainly no fan of the president, but agree with the longstanding policy (since the GW Bush years) of not paying those fines.
Look at all the crap the foreign scofflaws get away with in Washington DC and NYC (embassy staff & UN employees). Some of it is violent criminal activity...and the perps are immune to prosecution and get to skip out of the country.
At least the Brits got their bust of Churchill back.
Yes the great orator and his minions have managed to run up tickets trolling around London to be paid by taxpayers. Well if they ever decide to pay. May as well let it build up debt from interest first as that's what they're good at after all.
"London Mayor Boris Johnson is raising a stink over minor congestion charges he says President Obama's motorcade incurred while visiting his city, the London Evening Standard reports. Johnson has fined the United States 120 pounds (nearly $200 U.S. dollars) in congestion levies--10 pounds per vehicle--for the presidential motorcade used during Obama's state visit in May.
The sum may seem to be a pittance, but it is part of a much larger problem, Johnson and others say.
London officials told AFP that the American Embassy owes 5.3 million pounds ($8.7 million dollars) in unpaid congestion fines--known as C-charges--which were first established in 2003. Since the roads weren't closed during the president's visit, he is subject to the fines, Johnson says."
Well, I think they should tax the sh*t out of churches and pay for it that way.
Can I get an AMEN up in here y'all?
"They" can tax all the church properties other than the sanctuaries & grounds, residences, and educational facilities as far as I care. That means any commercial or rental properties, of which there are many for some churches.
Since when has Obama been the one driving the Beast?? Is that some kind of cost saving measure I've never heard of?
