An IRS official denied tax-exempt status to a Texas group that encourages church members to pray for state and national leaders regardless of their party affiliation because it benefits “the private interests of the [Republican] Party.”

Here we go again
Lerner must be back on the job
Hey, just outlaw Republicans, Conservatives, and the Christian religion. Just cut to the chase. I’m sure no one will mind. Then the moral people will be Outlaws, and the Criminals will be the Authorities. That’s not crazy at all!
If the article is accurate, this is a ridiculous position. May have to go to Tax Court to overturn it.
How about those churches Democrat candidates love to speak at? Do they enjoy tax-exempt status? They shouldn’t if they do.
The first miracle of the Biden Administration?
The IRS proves that prayer really works!
Obama’s IRS is back in action.
The Marxists have taken over and become the Oppressors of most of America.

If they’re going to turn the IRS into a Democrat police force it’s time to shut them down.
Obama for America became “Organizing for America”. Of course, this “non-partisan” group has tax free status.
Organizing for America is composed of 50 different state organizations, united by a single national umbrella. The states have a high level of autonomy when it comes to deciding how to execute tasks given by the national office, but most major programs are ultimately delegated by the National directors. Under the federal tax code 501(c)(4) the group will have tax-exempt status as long as it is not primarily involved in activity that could influence an election. As a nonprofit, it can run support ads for an issue as long it is not involved in activity aimed at electing candidates for office.
And the criminal, democrat party IRS is back.
Funny how the holy of holies “separation of church and state” goes out the window when a dem goes pippin in a black church.
I notice Rev. Franklin Graham and also the EWTN (Catholic TV and radio) always say “we don’t mean we are endorsing any candidate or party, just pointing out .....” but then if it favors Satan then it’s something the Dems are doing and if it is anti-abortion, anti-euthanasia, anti-gay “marriage” , anti Chinese suppression of religion and pro family then it coincides with the good side, the conservatives. Can’t win.
Father Mitch Pacwa said “we were told and actually taught years ago as priests that we should keep quiet about things that would make us unpopular with the congregations. Try to be popular, we were told. Don’t sound strict. But doing that allowed the weak stances against gay unions and abortions that our Faith makes us take.”
Sooo, BLM will be denied tax exempt status too, right?
Christians Engaged is the group.
Cancel the IRS.
And yet a liberal Presbyterian Church a few blocks from my house is practically a Democrat Party auxiliary, routinely hosting political sermons.
Black churches are unpaid advertisers for the Party of Satan.
Then all of them should lose tax exempt status.
