No, churches should be allowed to do so, but they should be taxed once they start, having transformed themselves from a religion into a political action group.

Conservatives teach the best lessons when not suppressed on campus. The Racist Bake Sale is one of my favorites.

You really are admitting to that level of simplistic thinking?


There is nothing in reality that makes it any more complicated than that. Notice that even blacks and Latinos instinctively recoil from the notion that they should be treated any differently.

Notice that 1) Most churches that preach politics are preaching Democratic and other racist dogma 2) The standards in law are pretty low such that you'll have a hard time making any headway against any church on this issue.

Churches are allowed to preach politics from the pulpit in terms of issues which is where I disagree with Droopy unless he clarifies about candidates and parties.
