Maybe the ACLU will take their case. Ok, maybe not.

Gee, what do we do with all those black churches that invited Kerry to speak from the pulpit? Is the IRS going to pull their tax exempt status too? I think we have a BIG problem with equal protection going on here.

The arrogance of the government can be truly staggering in scope.

Of course no one says a word when Democrats openly campaign in black churches.

Not surprising.

Didn't you know that the only prayer allowed in churches is when black churches offer up prayers for a Kerry victory while he's preaching against Bush in their pulpit?

This is just a glimpse of what it will be like under a Kerry presidency.

More reason for Bush to dump the IRS.

Interesting flipside to this though... what about all those churches where Kerry shows up to campaign? They should lose their tax exempt status for similar reasons.

They should sue...

What part of "the free exercise thereof," is lost on the IRS.

Only if the people remain apathetic.

I don't know. I smell BS here similar to the old, and oft repeated reports of Janet Reno giving her definition of what a "cult" was. I could be wrong, certainly it would not be the first time but I'm dubious at best.

I will withhold judgment.

"In July, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, headed by Barry Lynn, filed a complaint with the IRS against Ronnie Floyd, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Springdale, Ark., accusing him of preaching a sermon promoting President Bush's re-election July 4."

All such suits have been tossed out of court summarily.

Yeah, how about those black churches?
So sick of the fact that the dems can get away with doing all the wrong things.
I bet that there are more people praying for President Bush than for the long face.

We certainly CAN pray for Bush's re-election, and we're already doing so.

Want to challenge that prayer? Go ahead, watch the firestrom that erupts as it reaches the Supreme Court.
