Marty is much like koshergrl. They get answers they don't like and go "nuh hu" as if . . . they are nutters.
Here is the type of evangelical America for what koshergrl dreams.

Wot?but why would he?
All good dictators know that religion is pablum for the people. Control the religion, you control the people. Get rid of the amendment, and you will have all the preachers singing your praises from the pulpit.
Kinda like how Johnson got the African Americans to switch from voting Republican to Democrat by enacting the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts.
No...you WILL be forced to get an abortion if transgenders get to choose the public accommodation they consider appropriate......and you'll have to get high....yeah........really high.....Picaro does not understand what the 1st Amendment means. I will help him. He can believe whatever he wants, but he cannot force his beliefs as a matter of course in the public square. His child can pray at school but cannot disrupt the educational process or bother the child's neighbors in doing so.
You mean like moral matters?
Does that apply in Mosques as well?Preachers are civilians. That is an absolutely terrible analogy.You don't think preachers should endorse a political candidate? Talk about dictatorships..All good dictators know that religion is pablum for the people. Control the religion, you control the people. Get rid of the amendment, and you will have all the preachers singing your praises from the pulpit.

All good Communists know Gramsci by heart and know that turning people away from morals and principles and into gullible unprincipled amoral fashionistas is the easiest way to destroy opposition to taking over a country, and going after the religious people first is key.
How is keeping the amendment "going after the religious people first"? The seem to have been fine with it all the way up until now.
And no, I don't think that preachers should be endorsing one political candidate over another. The military can't go to partisan political rallies in uniform because that constitutes an unofficial endorsement of that candidate by whichever service shows up in uniform.
No, I don't think that preachers should publicly endorse a candidate, because it could be seen as that particular religion as a whole endorsing the candidate, and it could lead to problems in the church, especially if you have 2 prominent leaders going for different candidates.
But, I have that view because of being in the military. We were told that we were never allowed to go to political rallies for particular candidates in uniform, because it could be seen by the public as that particular service being behind a certain candidate.
Preachers should be able to do say whatever they want. My gawd man, ever hear of the first amendment?
...to something more ShariaeySo you deny religious leaders full First Amendment rights..No, I don't think that preachers should publicly endorse a candidate, because it could be seen as that particular religion as a whole endorsing the candidate, and it could lead to problems in the church, especially if you have 2 prominent leaders going for different candidates.
And you wonder why you guys keep losing
I didn't do it, Johnson did. And, why is it that just now religious leaders are squeaking about it? Why didn't they get rid of it back then?
This is just more pandering to the religious right.
Because they finally have a Republican who will fight with them and who has stated he will change the law....
martybegan, a supposed libertarian, wants Big Government to help him out.
Shut up, you nutbar. He doesn't want big government to do anything except protect him from asshats like you, who try to use government to shut down free speech, and freedom in general.
And you do that by lying.
Which, btw, is sedition.
President Trump is a PromiseKeeper.There's no question that he is in Pander Overdrive......
The "Johnson Amendment" CREATED a State Run Church. It is clearly unconstitutional and needs to go.

How does it create a state run church? The tax exemption is to ANY church, be they Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. That isn't a state run church.
And, if they want to preach from the pulpit in favor of one party over another, they can do so, they just lose their tax exempt status.
Unless you make contributions to a church, you don't.just let me keep my tax dollars from supporting you!!

They aren't, andif tax exemption status is contingent upon being apolitical,
... this is indeed what these idiots would be supporting when they whine about non-existent requirements. PP uses the statutes to get free money from the FED, while incorporating subsidiaries as 501's and using that money to lobby Congress for Fed bucks to ... PP, all tax deductible for its donors, and donating to political campaigns. Sounds like a kickbacks scheme to any sane person.pull the tax exempt status of all enviro groups and planned parenthood.
Otherwise, stop inflicting it upon churches.
btw, the catholic church and episcopals make political proclamations daily.
