I was wondering when this racist hate monger and his demagogued, ‘afro-centric sermons’ (read: black power diatribes) would hit the main stream. The Confederate Yankee has a good post on the growing list of seditious & disturbing individuals which th…

i wonder what would happen if i endorsed a candidate from the pulpit at my temple?

You’d get a letter and/or a visit from the IRS.
Remember, you’re not Obama’s pastor.

The Rev. Wright answers to a higher power…

And what higher power would that be? He certainly preaches Satan from the pulpit.

Are you freaking kidding me?

How many times has Obama been pulled over by the cops.

And here I thought Barack was raised by some white woman.

Right now I am not a huge fan of the present Congress or the IRS, however, an audit of non profit organizations is legal under current law. The reverend also makes racist statements from the pulpit in this case. Does that mean that
the KKK should have been given tax exempt status as well?

I respectfully disagree. Allowing the IRS to regulate the speech of religious organizations, by controlling their tax exempt status, amounts to Congress abridging the freedom of speech of those religious organizations, and that is expressly forbidden by the 1st Amendment.

If a pastor wanted to point out that the Bible says, “You shall not murder“, but a certain Senator running for president thinks it should be legal to murder full-term babies when they are partially-delivered, I think the pastor should be allowed to do so without the threat of losing the church’s tax-exempt status. Congress and the IRS do not have the Constitutional authority to abridge religious speech.

He disgusts me.

I personally believe that the IRS has no constitutional right to tell a pastor what he can and cannot say.

This has nothing to do with the pastor’s consititutional right to speak, it’s about the non-profit status of the church. When his church applied for non-profit status (assuming that they did), they promised not to engage in this kind of endorsement of a political candidate or risk losing their non-profit status.

The pastor is free to say whatever he wants, just not from the pulpit. The chuch is also free to give up their non-profit status, but I doubt that they will.

Arab nationalism = caliphate dreams. Tomayto, tomahto.

And, by the way, Hilary had socialist house parties with major heads of state. Shouldn’t that count for something?!

Come on, Hillary!

P.S. Prayer calls are the single most annoying sound ever popularized. Even the Europeans don’t like to listen to it.

No news on the wires that I can see. We’ve lost him.

Huckleberry is at home right now sitting by the phone, rocking back and forth waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for that call from the Maverick, the call that won’t be coming…………….

I’d like to be a fly on the wall when Huckleberry finds out that Mitt gets the VP nod. hah.

By the way, if we were truly paying heed to what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taught, we should be judging people by the content of their character (and not the color of their skin).

I think that injunction applies only to white people.

Hussein Obama, is no Muslim but there is one that preaches from his church’s pulpit. Must be those rich, White folks that run everything setting him up.

Oh, yeah, but he’s a fat, white, suburban guy. So, of course, he’s the devil

The Bill of Rights has 10 Amendments. Each one is a single thought process. If it were not so, an amendment with two or three separate thought processes could have been split into different amendments.

Here is the text of the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That’s not six different thought processes rolled into one amendment. It’s a single thought process, and it’s intent is to protect the church from the government. Along the way, people have tried to turn that 180 degrees and claim that it’s meant to protect the government from the church (i.e., “separation of church and state”).

I personally believe that the IRS has no constitutional right to tell a pastor what he can and cannot say. If Rev. Wright wants to promote Obama, let him. In today’s world of recording devices, every word he says will be in the public domain, and Hillary or Republicans should feel free to make known what Obama’s pastor of 20 years says. Rev. Wright says things that are so inane that they will hurt, not help, Obama on the national scale.

By the way, if we were truly paying heed to what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taught, we should be judging people by the content of their character (and not the color of their skin).

We’ve lost him.

If by “lost him” you mean “been given great cause to rejoice,” then yes!

Democrats keep the plantation mentality going, long after slavery itself is gone.

I highly recommend this book.
