File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The IRS prosecutes 100% of tax cheats, and they almost all go to jail. And they seize and sell personal assets to recover duties. Lots of luck.

#2 A real man would offer to join a fight against Iran because they are responsible for the slaughter of countless American servicepersons.

#3 By this rationale, millions of other Americans would be within our rights not paying taxes because we refuse to support affirmative action, or fund multi-culti pomo hatespeech and indoctrination at publicly funded universities, or to name yet another highway overpass after Kleagle Byrd.

That OK with you, Mr Hedges?

#4 I will not pay my income tax if we go to war with Iran. I realize this is a desperate and perhaps futile gesture.
Not to mention a felony.

And premeditated.

Like the Envirowennies who talk but fly their personnel jets around the world, when you walk the walk, talk to me. May I recommend that you follow the model of literally 10s of millions of illegals in this country. If you can't stand the situation where you're at, get up and leave. No one is stopping you. It's only you, in your parasitic narcissism that seems to actually want to wallow in the 'corrupt and unjust' society that you seem to think is America. Less talk. More action.

#5 Hey Hedges---far as I'm concerned, you and all your friends are just as implicated in the death of my countrymen at the hands of the Paleos as the Saudis who send them money per Jew killed. And you know, Christopher, we Jews have very long memories.

#6 What kind of a "tax rebel" puts money owed to the guvmint into an escrow account? Be a real man, Chris.....blow it on a Prius or something. Stick it to The Man ~~and get a car that will help you score with hippie chicks~~!

Maybe a courageous judge will rule that the Constitution has been usurped and the government is guilty of what the postwar Nuremberg tribunal defined as a criminal war of aggression. Maybe not. I do not know....

Why do I think he never got over hearing the truth about Santa?

#7 So Chris is it preferable to have Iran attack Israel or the US? Why are these guys always so myopic? Why do they always think they know what is best for the rest of us?

#8 From NRO's The Corner: Who is Chris Hedges? Not only was he a New York Times reporter for 15 years, he was its Middle East bureau chief in the 1990's. Yikes.

Figures...

#10 No, he's not smart enough to be a loon.

#11 unless HIllary gets elected and she wants to go to war with Iran. Then he will be behind it 110% and anyone who isn't for it is an evil, racist, oil grubbing, woman hating, genocide loving nazi.

Hey Chris, you are a mindless hack.

Just not in the back seat...

#13 I guess Mr. Hedges has forgotten the taking of US Embassy hostages and holding them for 444 days, something that would have been declared an act of war by any other nation. I guess he doesn't understand that half the terrorist attacks against the United States in the last 30 years have been carried out or funded by Iran. He refuses to acknowledge that Iranian arms supplies and training are being used to increase the death toll of American servicemen and women in Iraq AND Afghanistan. Mr. Hedges should move to Europe - maybe Brussels - where his ideas about "honor" and "security" are considered important.

#14 But an attack on Iran ... will unleash a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions.

And standing idly by whilst Iran acquires nuclear weapons will not? Hell, I've met more than a few parrots who were incapable of producing anything like Hedge's prolonged screech.

#15 I will not pay my income tax if we go to war with ~~Iran~~ Iraq, Goerge Bush wins the election.

But an attack on ~~Iran~~ Afghnistan, Iraq ... will unleash a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions.

This war, and especially ~~Iranian~~ Terrorist, Al-Qaeda, Iraqi retaliatory strikes on American targets, will be used to silence domestic dissent and abolish what is left of our civil liberties.

And if that crap above wasn't enough, this next line would tell us everything we need to know about the author.

But sanity is a rare commodity in a White House that has twisted Trotsky's concept of permanent revolution....
