Another Example of “It’s Okay when WE do it!”
[ “So what if it’s illegal and you LOSE YOUR TAX EXEMPT STATUS if you do” ]
The Tax Exempt status has become a “Harness of Tyranny” upon the churches because it infringes upon their 1st amendment rights.
I think the churches should revolt by becomming “For Profit” and “Loud and Proud”.
Right on Mooshelle-—did the ACLU and LSM leftist hacks get your memo? Agree with MO
I can’t speak to the timing, but my current and last church recognized our service men and women on Independence Day. I wholeheartedly approve. We have the freedom to worship because of our soldiers.
I wouldn’t go to a church that didn’t appreciate their service and sacrifice. It came home the other year when a friend lost her kid brother, a member of our church, to the war.
Your response to your church sounds like a leftists response.
[Jeffrey Folks column] . . . And one thing that liberals abhor above all is the profession of religion.
Perhaps this is why President Obama has been so coy about his faith. It is well known that he attended a United Church of Christ congregation in Chicago for a number of years, but he quit that church when its pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, became a political liability. Most Americans now have no idea what church Obama attends, and for good reason. At present, he belongs to none. Not only that, Obama's 2010 tax return indicates that he and Michelle, while they contributed $245,000 to various charities, donated nothing to any church. Not even one dollar in the collection plate.
That, according to liberals, is all to his credit. He contributed generously to women's shelters, food kitchens for the homeless, and black and Latino groups. But there is no mention of a contribution to a religious congregation or institution of any kind. That makes him a champion of the left, unlike the Romneys, who donated a total of $4.1 million over the past two years to their church in addition to nearly $3 million to other charities.
Seems to me the mainline denominations (plural)are already doing Satan’s bidding.
Sarge, in the pix of Obama walking through the water wearing a white shirt, are those roses around him? Looks to me like a scene in the Ohio River from the Indiana side looking toward Louisville during Kentucky Derby week. Can you confirm this? Thanks.
Ya know, now that I look deeply at the background, you are eerily right. It DOES look like the rail bridge on the Ohio.
[Christian Post story] . . . Mrs. Obama's comments may have something to do with the fact that the first family does not attend church on a regular basis. In author Ed Klein's new book, The Amateur, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church the Obama's attended when they lived in Chicago, said the first family did not seem interested in attending church on a regular basis.
"These are not church people," Wright said of Barack and Michelle Obama. "As far as Michelle was concerned, that she was not brought up in the church, and as far as the couple themselves, the church is not very important to them."
I believe he was describing what happened at his wife's church and I inferred that he goes to a different church. I also thought he was saying that he liked what happened at his wife's church and needs to change churches from his to hers.
Just exchanged private email with him.
Your suggestion that he is at a different church than her may be it, but I can’t personally understand a husband and wife who go to different churches.
I’d taken it as a lefty response to honoring troops. What you say makes sense.
I thought his comments were out of place for FR. Apparently I misunderstood him.
I think this is the first time I have agreed with her.
this has always been true for Michelle and her ilk
There is just no limits on how stupid people can be
