You're starting to sound like a lib. Or a nanny-stater, at minimum.

Wrong.

Tax-exempt status is not a Constitutional right. It is a recongition of charitable aims for an organization's activities.

Or perhaps you think political donations should be tax deductible?

This isn't about the tax rate - it's too high. It's about notions of who should be tax-exempt and who should not. Even Scriptures says render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

Even Scriptures says render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

And unto God which is God's. Please don't forget the rest of the verse. As xzins says, if the state takes part of my gift to the church, it is curtailing my religious rights.

I think any and all speech, political, religious, or otherwise, should not be abridged in any way. Ever. I am appalled that there are so-called conservatives that are all in favor of regulating political speech using the tax code.
