liberal churches have always been active politically, they are more about politics than religion anyways
Some churches being political are more equal than others.
I've always felt the best solution is for churches to renounce their tax-exempt status & say whatever they want.
With the shekels come the shackles.
The Baptists of America were pushing for a wall around the American government, not a wall around American Christianity.
This is a good article. Thank you.
8. Cut funding to UN, withdraw from membership/participation, evict them from their NY location and out of the Country.
This has always been a non-issue. The IRS has no power over churches that the churches don’t voluntarily give them.
[O]ur excellent Constitution…has not placed our religious rights under the power of any public functionary.
(Letter to the Methodist Episcopal Church (Jefferson Writings, Vol. XVI, p. 325, to the Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church on December 9, 1808)
“On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed”
[Thomas Jefferson, memoir, Correspondence and Miscellanies From the Papers of Thomas Jefferson. (Boston: Gray & Bowan, 1830)
That is easy.
Abolish Dept of Education
End all corporate and agricultural subsidies
End all funding of non-government organizations
Merge all welfare/entitlement programs into one monthly cash dole, one bureaucracy instead of 50.
(welfare bureaucracy eats up about $500 billion of the welfare budget a year)
I think that’d be a start
This has always been about silencing true biblical viewpoints in the political process.
True biblical believers obey the laws/rules.
Leftists, not so much.
> If the “muzzle” if off for churches it will also be off for
> other non-profits like Planned Parenthood, NAACP, etc.
In case you haven’t noticed, Planned Parenthood and other Lefty “non-profits” have been openly supporting democrat candidates for generations. In the case of Planned Parenthood, not only are they tax-exempt, but they are the beneficiaries of BILLIONS in federal and state tax funding.
As the article indicates, the IRS never sent any threatening letters to churches. Organizations like the ACLU and PAW did in order to scare and bully conservative churches into silence.
The cat’s out of the bag, now, and the Left loses another bully tactic.
At 1 PM on January 20, 2013, Notify the US Marshals that they are to remove every Federal Prosecutor from his or her office immediately, and lock down every document, computer, and isolate every network, then, once the Marhsals are in place, immediately fire EVERY Federal Prosecutor.
Indiduals have religious freedom and so do religious organizations.
As the leftists try to brainwash Christian/normal American children that bullying is disagreeing with their amoral dictates, teach your own children to stand up for all opinions expressed in school and to stand up to liberal homofascists and racists with their friends. They are not the sexual toys of adults who enjoy talking dirty to other people. Tell your kids adults are not supposed to talk dirty to them; their sexual feelings are personal and nto the government’s business. Public schools are government.
It worked for my sons and their friends and it will work for other parents, too. Parents need to intimidate the teachers for sexual harrassment and intolerance of religious freedom whenever they target and harass kids. In volume, they break and go back in their closets where they belong.
Keep documentation - letters to the file and participants of parent/teacher conferences. File law suits.
