"Our media culture often mocks and demeans people of faith,” whose “values of love, charity and faith built this nation.”

Republican candidate Donald Trump pledged at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., to repeal the Johnson Amendment.

“We’re gonna get rid of it,” Trump said.

“I figure it’s the only way I’ll get into heaven,” he quipped.

The Johnson Amendment is a circa 1954 amendment to the U.S. tax code that blocked tax-exempt organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Evangelicals and other people of faith object to the law because it prevents churches—along with other tax-exempt institutions—from political organizing.

After all, if CAIR can mouth off about US policies and elections, why not other religious groups?

This is an irritating law that is broken without penalty by POS liberal churches, but if a conservative church does so, the IRS will come down on it.

Uh oh! Mika's gonna make Joe say nasty things on Monday!

Trump will not get to heaven by changing our laws. He gets to heaven by repenting of his sins, and accepting Jesus into his life (if he hasn’t already).

He’s funny, sincere and an admitted sinner. I like him.

[Oratam]

C’mon people. A “church-muzzling Johnson?” Now that’s funny right there!

[miss marmelstein]

Boy, are you a bucket of cold water. The Donald admits he’s imperfect and you give him a prissy rebuke. Look to your own sins as I look to mine.

Bwahahahahaha.

She’s dumber than a door knob but, hot as hell...

[Guenevere]

Agree!

And that’s what gives Christians their stereotype. He was being amusing and I thought he succeeded.

A church-muzzling Johnson

[miss marmelstein]

Sistahs!

““I figure it’s the only way I’ll get into heaven,” he quipped.

You might want to look up the word “quipped”.

.

[miss marmelstein]

Yup.

Some people just won’t accept that the Trumpster is a good guy. Funny, sincere, and on occasion, modest, lol!

[castlegreyskull]

Beg your pardon? Tlk about a bucket of cold water yourself! I like Trump a lot. But yes, someone who claims that if they do this, that or the other to get to heaven is wrong. Oh, also Christians are supposed to correct other Christians.

[DrDude]

Doesn’t the Clinton Foundation fall under these rules?
