Christians told to disclose their prayers, while similar treatment of muslims is strictly off-limits. Let it sink in.

Pulling their tax exempt status.

If you pray, and they view it as political, it is illegal.

It’s getting harder and harder not to pray for tragedy to fill these apparatchiks lives.

Ok, of all the stuff I’ve heard about the IRS pulling, and there’s a lot of bad stuff, this just creeped me out the most. I mean that’s downright Spanish Inquisition.

“They believe in prayers?”

No, but it bothers them that YOU do!

They've also asked:

“What are you reading?”

“How much money do you typically carry in your wallet?”

I would have told them:

“Please provide your questions in writing, so that I may review them with an accountant and attorney, to ensure my answers are current and complete.”
(...and so I can share you asinine intrusions with the media)

It almost sounds as if these lefties working at the IRS, in stunned amazement that they had gotten away with it this far, kept trying to one-up each other in pushing the edge of the envelope.

Has not the line in the sand been crossed?

If not, then I seriously doubt that there is any line.

They’re afraid the prayers are political. Can’t have that.

In a sane world the irs would be disbanded and its management put in prison.
