According to the left, it is a “violation of the separation of church and state” if a preacher says the wrong political thing, but it is not a violation for the government to censor the preacher.

I noticed that Mitt reiterated his belief in the "separation of church and state" in the last debate.

True. I believe that a preacher can have any political view he or she wants. They just can’t use their pulpit to reinforce their views if they want to continue not paying taxes. If they were allowed to do that, every left wing group would form their own “church” to aviod taxes. They would pray for more taxes, bigger government, and socialism. I’m sure Hillery would be founder and head.
