Kaption Kerry Time - Kerry gives sermon in church.

[Political Junkie Too]

How come the Dems get to preach politics in churches all the time? Ever wonder?

Here's your answer: Jesse Jackson Jr. Says Church Politicking 'Supersedes the Law'

It may be against federal election law to campaign in church. But for Democrats seeking to get out the vote in minority districts, politicking from the pulpit has become indispensable.

In the last days of this year's campaign, Vice President Al Gore, Senate candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband have all made regular appearances at African-American and Hispanic churches.

Even when parishioners objected to Mrs. Clinton campaigning from the altar at a Rochester, N.Y., Catholic church last week, the rules were not enforced. Those who didn't like it were simply ejected by police while the first lady continued her campaign speech.

Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., whose namesake is both a reverend and one of the Democratic Party's most vocal boosters, was challenged on the issue Monday during a Tennessee radio interview on WLAC-AM by "Nashville This Morning" hosts Steve Gill and Terry Hopkins.

GILL: Let me ask you about this. It's against IRS regulations for politicians to campaign from the pulpit. Why are these politicians campaigning in black churches?

JACKSON: I'm not totally convinced that's true in the African-American community. Certainly there's a separation of church and state. But in our community there's little distinction between our religion and our politics. ... And so in many African-American churches born out of experience in this country, the role of the churches has evolved into a very, very active political institution which has been very effective for a number of causes in the black community.

HOPKINS: And that supersedes the law?

JACKSON: Absolutely. Oh, absolutely.

Now there's a new one for ya - Church Political Correctness Police!

THE PHOTO CAPTION READS: "U.S. Democratic presidential candidate, Senator John Kerry (D-MA), sits amid the reflections of ministers during a prayer breakfast at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan February 6, 2004."

The guy in glasses above Kerry sure looks like he is shooting the bird.

[Happy2BMe]

Ministers - word used lightly.

It just amazes me to see the likes of Kerry among Church-going God-fearing Christians, since Kerry's party are avowed Christian haters, and will do anything they can to deconstruct Christianity. Don't those people see that?

How come the Dems get to preach politics in churches all the time? Ever wonder? If our side did it the press would be berserk talking about Falwells and Robertsons and such.

Not to mention all the hand wringing over separation of church and state... and demanding that whatever church had the nerve to host a Republican must immediately lose its tax exempt status!

[Happy2BMe]

"Don't those people see that?"

Not only do they "see" it - but they buy into it and preach "it" as their "gospel."

Kerry is an abortionist and homosexual champion (not to mention a traitor).

Anyone endorsing him is endorsing abortion and homosexuality.

Is that "Christian?"
