Everyone quit hyperventilating & think about this for a minute. The preacher was just lazy! He could have said “any church that teaches xxx is promoting Satan’s agenda so voting for a member of that church is voting for Satan”. No problem & no IRS violation. ANY preacher should know you can’t use the pulpit to direct votes for a particular candidate by name.

It’s ridiculous.

Get rid of the income tax and the IRS and be done with this stupid hypocrisy and trampling on the unalienable right to free political speech and religious expression.

The backbone of the Continental Army officer corps was made up of Calvinist preachers.

They preached their sermons, then took off their robes and went to war.

Government in any form has no business anywhere near that pulpit. Period.

First of all, he was not directing votes *for* anyone, just against Romney. Second, it doesn't seem restrict the pronouncements from the pulpit the Reverend Jesse Jackson, nor others of that ilk.
