WorldNetDaily: Political snitches monitor sermons
The article explains how some groups are monitoring worship services and reporting the church to the IRS if the service includes political messages. This angers me because it the government using indimidation and fear to control speech. If there was no income or corporate taxes (which were not allowed under the Constitution until the passing of the 19th Amendment), then the government would have no power over what preachers say from the pulpit. This kind of censorship glosses over the glorious history that churches have had in fighting for liberty since the founding of this country. Don't you people remember that Paul Revere was a Pastor? The one-liner to be prepared to fight, "Keep your powder dry", was the closing sentance of pastors.
Anyway, the government has no right to use fear or intimidation to control speech. The First Amendment trumps the 19th. Pastors and preachers should not be chained from using thier influence to discuss caniadites.
HEY IRS -- KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY RELIGION!!!
