While I am no fan of the Johnson Amendment, I am uncomfortable with the idea of a president unilaterally ordering the the non-enforcement of a law he does not like. This is what Obama did with the illegal immigrants.

As is Twitter itself.

I admit I continue to marvel at the lengths certain people will go to portray a misunderstanding and misuse of basic human anatomy and physiology as noble, loving, even superior.

If the law is unconstitutional, he is obligated to not enforce it by his oath of office.

And undoubtedly the “religious left” will be far more aggressively partisan than conservative religious institutions. I’m not sure we really want to go down this road after seeing what the leftist “refugee” industry has done to this country.

Which means that Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, other religions can do the same as Christian organizations.

That’s correct. Besides, they only enforce against the Right and ignore what the Left does.

In other words, lets just get rid of the first amendment.

Someone tweeted that separation of church and state should be strictly enforced. I replied “Except when Democrats campaign in Black churches.”

I would rather congress does a simple bill on it instead because as with an executive order the next president can undo it with a stroke of a pen

Great I have a friend who is being reviewed for censor was a little shocked when my media friends just started saying it like it is.I see a little more freedom in higher ups remarks.What gets me is for years I have covered the Black Churches and they can say anything they want.I might add that Politics is a big turn off for Spiritual talk for me unless it is on a pro-life subject.Thank you President Trump.

You also get into "Which Christian sect/denomination is the best?"

So the Catholics will push their candidate, the Hindus theirs, the Muslims theirs...or whoever has the most money.

The law is in clear conflict with the first amendment.

“While I am no fan of the Johnson Amendment, I am uncomfortable with the idea of a president unilaterally ordering the the non-enforcement of a law he does not like.”

Are you serious? We are at war. If you expect patriots to follow the law while the left ignores the law and kicks our nuts in, you are brain dead.

You need to leave the battlefield before you’re carried off in a bodybag.
