Gosh, a negative article about the GOP by Bob Novak. Who'd a thunk it?!?

I've learned to just skip any editorials by Novak for the sake of my blood pressure. He's gone over to the dark side, been hanging around Maxie Shields too long.

Actually, this one doesn't seem to be negative to the GOP to me.

If just the idea that Republicans are starting to get in the mood to fight back (finally), well, I no longer see that as a negative.

Yes, I know it's Novak, but this is regarding Walter Jones' Freedom of Speech in Churches Act.

It's not negative about the GOP? Did you read it? He's just stating facts: there is a division within the party on certain subjects.

I fail to see how speaking out about politics turns a church into a for-profit organization. Same goes for other non-profits. It's absurd that they are muzzled.

I read the first few paras talking about dissension. That, combined with Novak's name and his GOP-bashing history, was enough for me. :-)

Who has the authority to do this? Can Hastert do it? Can Thomas's fellow committee members do it? Can the entire House GOP delegation [caucus] do it?

Or does Thomas hold the position purely on the basis of seniority and seniority alone?

Its odd Bill Thomas is so anti-Christian conservative. The district he represents, Bakersfield, is the Bible belt of California. That what happens when someone gets so entrenched in power with no real possibility of being voted out of office. Reminds me of Orin Hatch from Utah.

That would require a backbone, preferably with a tongue..
Republican tongues can't say, socialist, communist, left wing re-education camp(colleges), or even that the civil war is well advanced with democrats and the republicans are losing due to moles(neocons) aiding the insurrection making america a democracy and not so slowly..

Is the war in the mid-east a diversion from the civil war here.?. Hopefully not on purpose, but the result is the same. Much too complicated for liberals maybe even too complicated for conservatives..

Muzzled churches are not likely to do anything to "shake up" the party. They have added the party to their pantheon of gods.

They easily abandon God for whatever local false gods have set themselves as captors over them because they are walking in deception; blinded followers of blind leaders.

If they knew and walked in obedience to their God they would long ago have moved to assert their God given and their Constitutional rights.

Novak hasn't had a valid insight about Republican Party politics since about 1991.

This article just confirms the above conclusion.
