My beef is with so-called conservatives that seem to think using the IRS to railroad churches into not saying stuff it doesn't like is just peachy

Then you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't happen to agree with the IRS regs. I just don't get too worked up about them because no one is "railroaded" into anything.

And I also don't support Jones' bill because it applies only to churches. Include all non-profits (NRA, Planned Parenthood, etc) and that would be different.

If this bill passes, expect there to be a Church of Soros by the 2008 elections. There is a damn good reason for not exempting political activities.
