Why wouldn't it? Lots of non-profits push a political agenda.
Obama is just running rings around us. The Democrats realize politics IS a permanent campaign. Conservatives tend to think we get mad, win an election or two and then we can go back to normal life. No, we need to be out fighting this political war ALL the time - in academia, in the media, in the entertainment industry, in government, etc. Politics never ends, ever. You have to fight all the time, not just occasionally.
They are not supposed to, and churches occasionally get in hot water when politics is preached from the pulpit. The NRA keeps its political arm separate from its non-profit section.
This is a blatant abuse of tax-exempt status. But I imagine most of the MSM will cheerlead it instead. Imagine the uproar from the MSM if Bush had attempted this.
Politics is the continuation of war by other means. Republicans don’t realize the the Left is at war with America and everything it represents and Christianity and everything it represents. To win, we must never let up and come up with new ways to battle the Left and even establish new battlefields.
Jim DeMint’s move to the Heritage Foundation is, I hope, one important step in engaging that permanent war so that we can prevail and mitigate and even marginalize the Left in every arena we can.
