Without fail, every time the Church has gotten in bed with the government, it has proven to be a spiritual disaster for the Church. The church. No where in the New Testament do we see any sign that the church was politically active. These tow reasons alone are enough for me to want the church to have nothing to do with the government. You will notice as our exchange went on, I put Dobson in a different category from Robertson and Falwell. - This is because Falwell and Robertson's organizations - are set up as evangelistic, church groups. Their stated - purpose is to proclaim the Gospel. Thus it is improper - for them to be politically active. So by "Being" Religious Persons-of-Faith : The Automatically Lose Some of Their Basic Rights as American Citizens ! -re- T h i n k i n g . . . . . I haven't said that. Constitutionally, these groups have the same rights as any other group. My judgment that these ministries ought not to be involved in partisan politics comes from my understanding of the Office of Holy Ministry. Ordained ministers have been set aside by God for the purpose of proclaiming His kingdom. - Partisan politics is outside their scope. Are they any less Human ? - - - and your Equal ? Do they have any less Rights as Citizens ? - - - and your Equal ? - This is my belief, others differ. Clearly We Differ ~ RHF . If they are to be active politically, they cannot keep tax free status. Incorrect. That is a rule of relatively recent vintage, and one which should be done away with. Despite the fact that I believe it inappropriate for a minster of the Gospel to involve himself in partisan politics, he still has that right. As a matter of fact the change was made by one power-hungry Texas Senator by the name of Lyndon Johnson in 1954 so he could get re-elected. We've had 3 really bad presidents in my lifetime, LBJ, Bill Clinton and now Barack Obama. Sir Charles the Curmudgeon LOL, how can you call Obama a bad president, when he hasn't taken office yet???? My bad presidents: 1. G.W. Bush nobody comes close, a total embarrassment. 2. Jimmy Carter, worthless. 3. Nixon, a crooked *******. 4. LBJ..Vietnam. I did just fine with Clinton, and I couldn't care less who he screwed, was blown by, etc. -- BDK BDK Klan leader? kOOk Magnet! NJJ CLUB #1 Shillmaster Then you, sir, are suffering from the ID10T bug. I lived in Arkansas in the 80's and watching Clinton as the best presdient Chinese money could buy was like deja-vu all over again. He screwed Arkansas, but swept things under the rug so it all fell on the next Governor. He screwed America, too, but he swept it all under the rug for Bush to get hit with. And Obama can't help but be a bad president. He's a Chicago Democrat. Part of the Machine, one of the most corrupt and dishonest political organizations in the county. Not only does he have William Ayres as a friend but he also has Jesse Jackson Jr and Todd Stroger, both of which are typical tax-and-spend Dimocrats as friends. The Dims here in Chicago are now ruling by primogeneture. Richard J was replaced by his son Richard M. John Stroger was replaced by his son. Emil Jones is trying to replace himself with his son. Edward Madigan is trying to replace himself with his daughter. Next thing Obama will start ruling by Divine Right. . . . Sir Charles the Curmudgeon |

Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Bob Jones, David Dobson sure as **** don't. Evidence? Their mission is to replace all secularists with "believers" and to change the function of government from secular to doctrinal----(fundamentalist, of course) On this we likely agree. Pat Robertson chalkboarded his entire strategy for doing so after his last defeat in a primary Presidential election. Cite? Told you before If you want to discuss CURRENT EVENTS, you have to be aware of them Pat Robertson gave a series of lectures on the 700 club noting his agenda and not disbanding his campaign staff in order to push the goal of electing religious republicans to all levels of public office Lastly, even a fruitcake like you knows that it's not just something I made up----and evade the truth because you know it's correct. It may be correct, Robertson is certainly capable of doing something like this. You have a long track record of posting claims that you cannot support, You have a long track record of requiring "cites" for things that are historically accepted, matters of public record, or a host of other things that most normal, educated, well-informed people have no trouble accepted as fact You're they type that would deny most of what Nixon, or Reagan did in their criminal adminstrations because either you can't remember, hate the fact it's true, or just were too stupid to pay attention You might be surprised to know that I see Nixon's coverup of criminal activity as the thing which destroyed his presidency. You counter everything by saying "cite"---which is evasive. The litany of untruth, lies, stories, innuendo, conjecture, theory, rumors that your side leveled at clinton were so bizarre, out of place, unbelievable that it was embarassing to have to deal with you turds who bought it Now it is you who is ignoring fact. Jerry Falwell made a Video that compiled a mountain of outright lies, testimonials by paid "witnesses" and you can't even remember it-----skating over the fact that was part of the rightwing, religious reich's railing against the Clintons You might be aware that I am not defending Falwell. You ignored all of Reagan's criminal activities, impeachable offenses---even in the face of the facts and highly credible allegations (which eventually were proven) You have no idea what I may have "ignored" during the Reagan Administration. Yet your entire character shows when public events, common knowledge, and logical/credible things are laid before you, you THEN demand "cites I learned long ago that even commonly known events take on different character, depending on who is relating the event. You're nothing more than a troll, and it's not just Me that says it, Hartung Your point? Everyone who whacks you across the snout says the same thing you're a miserable, sleazy troll For me, you're comic relief Funny, I have much the same opinion of you. By the way, when did you drop out of high school? hasn't started yet. They don't usually let you into high screwel until age 14. Sir Charles the Curmudgeon |

It is rational to believe that he has some connection with the Daily machine. Is there any evidence to support this belief? |

Not as an official of a tax exempt status church----without suffering the consequences. Only because LBJ was trying to silence those who opposed him. Lyndon Johnson, asshole that he was, did not write or pass tax law by himself.. there were at least 40 other senators that followed his lead (and likely at least 50). |
