Guts? The inability to distinguish fantasy from reality has nothing to do with guts.

Isn't it strange then, when someone summons up the courage to kill someone, we wish him a quick trip to death row.

Why? Envy is one good reason. Punish those who dare to take the courage to carry out your own fantasies!

The less of a spine you have, the more you'll condemn them, want to punish them.
It doesn't take guts to kill innocent people. It takes guts to stand up and be accountable for you actions, and face the consequences. Blaming everyone but yourself for a life of bad decisions is apparently to be applauded now?

How do you guys think the lady ate the cat food? Plain? Heated up in the microwave? With coffee? Personally I would not try that. I would go with the Ritz crackers like Dear Joe, RIP.

I agree. I don't like the IRS. I don't know of many people who do. However, taxes (as long as the socialists don't skin me for everything I am worth) are necessary for the maintenance of the Union.

I wonder if that Stack guy would repeat his venture, had he known he would be killing a two tour Vietnam vet who served his country? I think his anger against the IRS pales in comparison to the injustice he levied upon a man who did not deserve to die in such a fashion.

So in the Tea Bagger World everyone who has a grievance against the government can crash their Plane or Car or Harley or wheel Chair loaded with explosives into a crowded building.

He was a murderer among other things, now that you mention it...

He flew airplanes, too.

At least until he deserted.

it is painful for me, when I think that Vernon Hunter served not one, but two tours, in Vietnam, fighting in the name of his country, to defend the rights of the South Vietnamese people, when at the very same time, people like himself were being denied their most basic rights at home only to die at the hands of a misguided man who is now being praised as some sort of patriot is simply beyond my comprehension and grief.

Wow. You are honestly going to defend an act of terrorism?

So, extrapolating your logic, were you rooting for the bomb to go off over Detroit on Christmas?

Were you correcting people who called the 9/11 hijackers terrorists instead of your seemingly preferred term, "freedom fighters"?


This thread needs to be picked up by the FBI. Seriously. I've always resisted the seemingly hyperbolic phrase "American Taliban", but perhaps I was mistaken. None who support this murderer may ever claim to be pro-life again. That much is for sure.

I rarely agree with you, but I'm with you 100% here.
