Michelle Obama: There is 'No Place Better' Than Church to Talk About Political Issues
CNS News ^ | 7/2/12 | Jon Street

Posted on 07/02/2012 8:23:01 AM PDT by Nachum

(CNSNews.com) – There is no better place than church to talk about political issues because they are ultimately moral issues, First Lady Michelle Obama told a church gathering on Thursday.

“To anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better – no place better,” Obama told the African Methodist Episcopal Church’s 49th general conference, held in in Nashville, Tenn.

“Because ultimately, these are not just political issues – they are moral issues,” she said. “They’re issues that have to do with human dignity and human potential, and the future we want for our kids and our grandkids.”

What would she know about morality in churches? She does not share in the idea of value.

(1) Are they only religious closer to elections?

(2) How often is it necessary for them to remind us that they’re black?

(3) Why not run on their record vs. their color?

That must explain the Rat Party’s dream of revoking the Catholic Church’s tax exempt status.

It’s all about the LOVE GIFTS!

Praise the Obamalord and pass the donation basket.

Boy these Obamas even make Jan and Paul look like pikers.

What next, Holy White Hut water?

Unfortunately true. Otherwise I agree that churches should be unrestrained.

"Why not run on their record."

Thanks I needed that belly laugh.
His record is so bad there is no way in HELL he can run on his record.
That is why all he can do is talk about Bain capital and Mitt. He can't bring up his record, because his record SUCKS.

“(1) Are they only religious closer to elections?”

The Democrats are.

“(2) How often is it necessary for them to remind us that they’re black?”

As long as it is necessary to lay a guilt trip on you.

“(3) Why not run on their record vs. their color?”

That would be unfair!!

I guess Obama and team have decided that pro-Democrat talk in Church is o.k. and the First Amendment doesn’t apply to them.

By the way. what is Mrs. Hussein Obama Barack doing in Christian Churches?

And yet imagine the outcry if a GOP president (or candidate) sounded similar calls to action in front of Billy Graham’s congregation, or some other?

Yet she and her dopey husband didn’t take anything in political when they were sitting in Reverend Wright’s church?

And just how many times has Mizzz Obama been to church to actually worship the Almighty God during her occupancy at the White House and not for the ulterior purpose of schmoozing for votes on this or that particular political issue of the day? Probably could count the legitimate times on my left hand.

She should know that God will NOT be mocked!

Could you just imagine the outcry if there was a coordinated effort by our diocese’s (sp?) to have each priest or deacon speak out during the homily against Obamacare, it’s negative impact on the church and it’s hospitals? Imagine the outcry if the church decided to outright endorse a candidate who’s name was not Barck Hussein Obama?
