A group of religious leaders Communist ChristianINOs from nine denominations

There is something very wrong about this. I might cause a stink about liberal politicians using churches to further their political agendas, but I don't think I'd ever bring it to the attention of the IRS. There's something very non-Christian about that.

this is rich...maybe the IRS should hold a PRIVATE MTG. w/ these TURDS...
IRS: "If We take THESE GUYS DOWN, We'll have to take YOU ALL DOWN."...its' Your Choice.

No political agenda? Give me a break. Where were these churches when Clinton and Kerry were allowed into pulpits. They are all wolves in sheeps' clothing.

Of course, that church Hitlery spoke in last week, the one where she likened the House of Representatives to a plantation, that church wasn't "politicking".

[Liberty Valance]

It isn't necessarily political to support pro-life lawmakers. That is what this is about.

Speaking during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, (Hillary) Clinton also offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause by a mostly black audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.

The House "has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," said Clinton, D-New York.

" No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. "

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, and Christians should go to God for solutions, not man.

These churches just don't get it. If you support an africanhyphenamerican endorsed by Jerky Jacka$$ and let them pander to your congregation at your church and help fix the roof, you fit the IRS definition of non-partisan. The churches in question appear to have made the mistake of supporting a Republican candidate which is a mortal sin punishable by the demofascist's favorite gestapo organization, the IRS. Its ok to have the IRS in your business, but heaven forbid the NSA listen to terrorist's speak on the phone to their "American" friends.

I know of one church that has incorporated and dropped their tax exempt status and at least one other one planning to incorporate. I've heard that two of the biggest advantages for doing this would be: 1)the tax exempt argument would be null and void and the church could politic as much as it likes if it chooses to, and 2)if the church were ever sued (someone falling in the parking lot or got injured playing Upward basketball, etc) and the amount of the judgment was over and above the amount of insurance carried, the individual church members would no longer be liable.

[Loyal Buckeye]

The main issue is not noncompliance with IRS rules. Rather, the two churches are in the process of registering 400,000 new Ohio voters (conservatives).

[Ligeia]

Can't the GOP Congress please undo that inane IRS restriction on churches? I read somewhere that LBJ is to blame for its existance. It's time to do away with it and let churches do as they see fit.

Unitarian Universalist Association

The editor of the Unitarian Bible would have taken up arms against any government tyrant trying to silence the voice of the church. Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Unitarian {Jefferson} Bible called the Bible the cornerstone For American liberty.

' "If they don't want to be a tax-exempt organization, they can go and do and say whatever they want," Rabbi Harold Berman of Temple Tifereth Israel in Columbus said on Jan. 16. '

Shouldn't the Rabbi also lose his tax-exempt status for his obvious opposition to Blackwell?

[Always Right]

"If they don't want to be a tax-exempt organization, they can go and do and say whatever they want,"

We can thank Lyndon Johnson for turning over a common-law Constitutional right and turning it into a statutory right that can be denied by non-elected government entities.
