Apartment dwellers also vote for programs paid with my
property tax dollars. It's wrong to single out Churches,
but it should be noted that a "Preacher" has a pulpit
and congregation that can be lead in any direction. Religion
by it's own design, is a political party.
re: "...If you can't bring yourself to vote Libertarian, you can at
least do the right thing and stay home on Election Day....."
Now that's sheer stupidity. That's akin to voting democrat.
I've always been a registered Independent. I changed to
a registered Republican to be able to choose the person I
would like to see on the ballot (occasionally that works).
The idea should be to vote for the person that will do their
best to protect your rights by upholding our Constitution.
That concept may not always meet welcomed eyes, depending
on a voter's personal agenda. As unfortunate as it may be to
those with any agenda, our Constitution and it's Bill of Rights
was designed to protect us all equally.
re: "...preacher...opposes the campaign of homosexuals to be
included in the Civil Rights Act..."
And as unfortunate as it might be to those with an agenda,
"Civil Rights" includes those of varied lifestyles. You can't
deny equal access and still have a free Nation.
