Actually, he was very calculating in his plan. This is an MP3 of the ATC comms from Joe Stack’s final flight yesterday out of Georgetown. It is chilling how calm and collected he is, considering he is about to kamikaze his plane into the IRS offices.
He knew exactly what he was doing, this wasn't a fit of spontaneous anger but a premeditated and deliberate act. Now his family has to suffer the consequences...no home, no life insurance, and mopping up from this tragedy. The man was no hero or martyr, just an idiot who felt he didn't have to pay taxes like the rest of us...there are other ways of non-violent protest that don't involve taking the lives of your own family or others...
Sign of the times. People are peeved and our rights will suffer.
Quoted for truth. I'm glad he didn't use a gun.
I LOVE CPAC! But you have to realize that those at CPAC are pretty hard core conservatives, so it doesnt surprise me that they picked Paul. I love him myself. But come time for a real election they will pick someone that will be more moderate and draw those 20%-30% of voters who don't align with either party. I dont agree witht that strategy (they tried that with McCain and look what we got) but I believe that is what will happenRon Paul just won the straw poll at the CPAC convention tonight. Who says he doesn't have a chance. Audit the Fed. We want our money back!
Like I said, we'll see. I'd like to see Ron Paul win but I don't think he has the charisma to swing the uneducated masses.
