But Dobson would lose his tax-exempt status if he actually came out and supported a candidate. Technically he should have lost it long ago, as should any church or religious organization that takes sides politically.
Why? I don't see why a church or a minister can't have political views. That's a bunch of B.S. and as far as I can see, there is no law against it.
“Technically he should have lost it long ago, as should any church or religious organization that takes sides politically.”
Huh?????? Would you try explaining your reasoning for that. I thought we lived in America where we had the freedom of speech. Oh wait a second....I know what you mean that we should follow the lead of China and abolish free speech. Got it ok, just remove the Constitution and that way we can get away with telling people what to say.
Seriously more conservative pastors should speak out. Liberal pastors like Jesse ‘I hate all conservative white male’Jacson Church gets away with it all the time. Good for him, but others should be able to speak their mind.
What you should have said if you were truly a conservative is that they should eliminate the not for profit statute requireing pastors to remain silent. Or are you really a supporter of enforcing mind and speech control?
