No, really.
Jesus wept. Or rather, he would, were he not bound by a gag order, awaiting a court ruling on his fitness to preach his own non-inclusive gospel.

It’s rather amusing that Morons United For Separation Of Church And State are dipping their beaks into this on the side of the government.
link fixed
The church members in reply invited Solicitor General Leondra Kruger to blow them.
I like the fact that they just keep going and going and going, like the energizer bunny of fascism. Their policies have been pretty much rejected by a majority of people, but they won’t let that stop them. They know what’s best for us.
It’s true cranky-d: we could say they’re operating under a religious compulsion.
“They know what’s best for us.”
– Their problem is they’re so obcessively bent on forcing their Socialist idea’s on thw country they don’t even know whats best for themselves.
– When the backlash starts it will be non-stop, and it won’t be pretty.
I don’t even see where there is any standing. Isn’t this simply contract law? She agreed with a contract and broke it. Under the terms, she goes. What’s left to say?
Maybe the DOJ thinks she’s union or something.
Maybe I’m just simple minded…
Well, we in the First Church of Voudoun (Reformed) sure don’t need no hep pickin’ hougans…
It seems a singularly stupid thing for the Administration to pursue. Like Lee, I see it as largely a contract dispute — the teacher bound herself to internal dispute resolution, and didn’t like the result, so she went crying to Uncle Obama. Even if SCOTUS doesn’t slap it down on First Amendment grounds (which they damn well better!), the silly bint would still lose on the merits.
On the political side, I can’t think of a single thing Obama could do that would more assure that the Evangelicals set aside any qualms they have about the Mormon candidate. Nothing like a common enemy (and an existential one at that) to bring the bitter clingers together.
And if all the above weren’t stupid enough, there’s the hubris of State thinking it’ll win a war against Church. Silly wabbits.

When Leondra Kruger told the Court that, opposing counsel should have dropped trou, spread his cheeks, and told her to kiss kiss lick kiss his chocolate starfish, his brown-eyed wink.
“When Leondra Kruger told the Court that, opposing counsel should have dropped trou, spread his cheeks, and…”
You mean the opposing counsel representing the Lutheran congregation? Is that how Lutherans interpret that whole “turn the other cheek” thing?
I don’t know, just asking…
I was referring to their counsel, not the Lutheran congregation. And, who says Lutherans don’t have a sense of decorum?
My old congregation thought that pretzels and beer should be consecrated as the body & blood. We were a sorta weird congregation, though.
Luther used to see the Devil, and he would show the Devil his naked backside. So, it would be quite in keeping with the spirit.

You don’t get it. It’s not freedom of religion, it’s freedom from religion.
Well, I do draw the line at inserting political endorsements onto the church website. It’s like they’re more than a church if they start doing that, and the “more than” part makes them accountable to the IRS and the campaign contribution limitations everyone else has to live under.
Jesus, Budda, and Mo may get a free ride, but not Rick Perry.

FTFY
“Americans United for the Separation of Church and State ”
there’s a theme here. oh i know little debbies.
Eh, if I was a member of that church(@#19), I would worry more about the church being political than the church losing tax exempt status.
Obviously, Rev. Wrights congregation feels differently.

“the church losing tax exempt status. ”
prior to the progg lbj’s amendment non profits had 1st amendment rights. why should your non profit tax status depend on not being able to criticize the gov’t? there’s 100 years of progg gov’t to unravel.
“Obviously, Rev. Wrights congregation feels differently.”
funny how auscs doesn’t ever go after the “wright churches”
I would religiously avoid pitching to Albert Pujols with first base open. Put him on, in heaven, if need be.
FTFY, ‘router.
If I knew end times stuff I’d invoke it right now.
And I’d be right.
Is lobbying for a political candidate non-profit? There’s a difference in criticizing government and promoting a political candidate, seems to me.
“Is lobbying for a political candidate non-profit?”
so you side with the progg lbj on using the gov’t shut down free speech? and tides, rockefeller, acorn are “non profit”? what a charade. how about we get rid of the current tax code?
“Is lobbying for a political candidate non-profit?”
why are your 1st amendment rights dictated by your irs filing status. seems perverse.
“If I knew end times stuff I’d invoke it right now.”
It involves horses and vials. I’m looking at a mean bitch of a mustang right now, and he don’t look to be in a pleasant mood.
I’d say it could go either way.
how about we get rid of the current tax code?”
I’m down for that…
I’d like to know how this lands at SCOTUS and what if anything the lower courts have done with it.
Right up there with state education on the list of affronts to the Constitution. And thus, sacred to the doctrinaire right, who apparently can’t wrap their heads around the problem with taxing the hours of a man’s life under pain of law.
LOWER CORPORATE TAXES, PATRIOTS!
Here in my lil’ hometown lives a pastor now well-acquainted with local justice.
Freakin’ Methodists; just can’t trust ’em, can you ?
“I’d like to know how this lands at SCOTUS and what if anything the lower courts have done with it.”
there is fast and furious™ religion edition. there’s also fast and furious™ health care edition.
baracky owns “fast and furious™” fundamental transformation.
– Speaking of current tax codes, the beast “999” has just slid ahead of Romney to become the leader in the latest WSJ/NBC poll.
– Not sure what it says about the rest of the feild of hopefuls when a relative unknown, who’s never held office, can climb over them all so quickly, but I like it.
One thing it says is that if the Establishment somehow nominates Romney there will be a 3rd party challenge. Romney sets up someone, maybe Trump, for a 3rd party 20% candidacy. And just as Ross Perot, the patron saint of fiscal responsibility, elected W.J. Clinton, that split could re-elect The Won.
The Establishment has to choose between a TEA Party candidate and Obama (nee Romney). They’ll take Obama.
“The Establishment has to choose between a TEA Party candidate and Obama (nee Romney). They’ll take Obama.”
so we need a new – speaker of the house. someone to do battle against entrenched interest. not boner.not cantor. who?
The words in bold should never be used in a sentence together, if only because where this administration is concerned stupidity is not only plural, it is damn near comprehensive.
Which, any word derived from the root “comprehend” also doesn’t belong in any sentence referencing this administration.
Well this Congressional Representative thinks President Obama should realize that Congress is “in rebellion” and he should “declare a national emergency” and take “extra-constitutional action”. You might be getting a a little ahead of the parade there Junior. That’s in next fall’s script.
how about Mr. Jordan
Headline: President gets win as trade deals pass
How come he didn’t want the “win” mere days after his inauguration, since these things have been awaiting passage at least that long, and all he had to do was submit them?
#39 – Hey now, them’s Free Methodists….us United Methodists are more worried about our own bishops’ efforts to make us more leftie and ghey than stealing meds… “open hearts and open minds” indeed.
Holder, et al must be just hoping they can get 5 of the old nags in black mumus to say “sure, your pretense works!” and rule in their favor.
Folks, based on what Jesse Jackass, Jr. is saying today, I don’t think it matters how the Supremes decide on this one.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Jackson is part of a growing set-up to declare martial law before the election.
here is a better link that one’s not working
The EEOC is scraping the bottom of the we-don’t-have-better-shit-to-do barrel I think.

Because the Pelosi wing in the House considered South Korea, Panama, and especially Colombia to be “fascist dictatorships”.
