    Personally I’m more interested in the concept that the government should t be enforcing the tax laws. But no one seems interested in that topic. Which is pretty telling in and of itself. I think I’ll start investigating which laws I’d rather not follow since only following the laws you like seems to be part of the new Republican platform.

    People who actually have been "troops" use the term much differently than you apparently do. If you have friends or relatives who have been "troops", they may tell you they use the word in a sense of shared camaraderie and respect and don't consider it loaded at all.

    As an aside, weren't you one of the folks who belittled 'Support Our Troops' stickers and those shitty state residents who displayed them proudly some years ago? Is that why you're making such a big deal of LDAHL's use of the word? Afraid that others who share your disdain may do harm to the army of additional IRS agents coming onboard before they've had the opportunity to collect additional revenue from those mostly low and middle income residents of said shitty states?

    No. You must have me confused with someone else. I’ve never been anti military. They serve a valid function for our society and I have a fair number of friends who have either served in the past or are currently serving.

    Heck, I even considered joining the military when I was in high school. I discussed the possibility of going to the coast guard academy at some length with a recruiter but ultimately decided against it since the accepted bigotry of the time meant that I would have had to lie about who I was to avoid being kicked out.

    Seriously they are spending time and money on laws like this? Eliminating local laws for construction worker mandated water breaks. In the meantime they are the leader in uninsured. 18% have no health insurance. But I guess big construction companies give campaign donations so there is that.

    Maybe look at real problems to solve?

    My sincere apologies then. Maybe that person isn't around any longer.

    I thought this video featuring leading Republicans was hilarious. Its theme is “Let’s make America Glam Again!”
