As a condition of tax exemption under 501(c)3 rules; religious and other public benefit companies are not allowed to “agitate for political change.”

Ergo, preachers like Hagee, and nonprofit organizations like Family Research Council are not supposed to publicly endorse any political candidate.

This is important. Corporations, legally defined as persons, should not participate in the political sphere and be tax exempt.  If they wish to participate in the political arena, they should pay taxes like other corporations and people.

Secondly, our traditional separation of church and state demands such restraint on religious figures and institutions. Our constitution suggests politicians should make no law respective of any religion - and with good cause. The history of religious governments is not a particularly “progressive” one.  Take for example the Spanish Inquisition.  One has only to look at recent history in the Muslim world to see how religion and government should not mix.

Why does no one in media talk about this???

The fuss about Israel stems from the Christian religion that more than 80% of Americans confess to. Christian supernatural hero was a Jew, the Bible, then one book that Christians profess contains the only truth is to 75% a Jewish book.  Our children are from earliest childhood indoctrinated with the fables and superstitions of the Jews and before they can develop critical thinking skills they ‘believe’ all this stuff to be true, even if it goes against everything they will ever observe in life.
Christians will tell you that god gave the Jews the land of Israel. God, this imaginary being that no one can produce as witness, justifies any atrocity or stupidity. Because if Christians start doubting the veracity of Abraham’s claim, they might as well doubt all the other nonsense.
But as long Americans are wedded to this bronze-age cult, they will bring their offerings to the altar.

Recently Frank Rich of the New York Times try to make a comparison between Obama’s Reverend Wright situation and John Hagee backing McCain. this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t believe me? Check out this article Another Comparison Between John Hagee and Jeremiah Wright.

It seems nobody ever asks the question that most controversies seem to stem from anti-semetic statements.  Why is the US so in bed with Israel?  Why do they support them with billions in aid and weapons?  Time to wake up people, How come in the news nobody ever questions why we have such a “special” relationship with Israel.  And seems odd that you can’t even mention a historical figure like Hitler in any other light, other than a monster.  It takes much more than one person to organize an event as awful as the Holocaust, where mostly Jews, but also Poles, Russians, Ukranians, Gypsies, political prisoners and others were killed.  Nobody condones it, but let’s put in in context of other genocides like the Armenian genocide which killed over a million Armenians at the hands of the Turks.

That’s the guy who supports the war between Israel and Palestine because he thinks it is the precursor to Armageddon, and he likes Armageddon ‘cos he read about it in the Bible. Well, i can see why Hagee supports McCain.

Hagee had these views since the beginning of time, but the news media said nothin… Obama’s pastor says something not even as close to offense as this and Obama gets blasted for 4 months… I guess they really dont call it the white house because of the paint on the walls
