Pulpit Freedom Sunday: October 2, 2011

Who decides what can be said from the pulpits of America's churches? For more than 50 years now, the IRS has had a say in what a pastor or priest can preach. It was LBJ's doing. He was taking heat from many Christian pastors, back in 1954, so he had the IRS enforce a rule that has kept politics out of most white churches since that time. It is a rule for all ethnic groups, of course, but radical Catholic priests and black pastors have ignored this rule of law for decades. Time for the rest of us to "go thou and do likewise."

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
