roy, the lady said herself she is basing her opinion not on facts she has researched but on what she feels like believing. Im not really capable of not commenting on that.

So, why did you choose to avoid telling me, whether you've changed your position on separation of church and state or not? And whether it is for good, or is temporary. Would like to know, so at least I know what to talk about.
I have never been strong about the Separation argument and did not change for Bush. Now I see the people of Crime Inc. trying to push this new idea onto the churches and even threatening to not allow them to have appropriated money if they don't comply.

I promise not to change my mind about separation because Obama pushes it as soon as he stops the community organizations crap. You see, I think, that he will finally get to the kind of community organizations like ACORN and such like and I don't want any excuses to include them.

But.... that's not what we're talking about.

What are you talking about btw? He's not "in charge" of the WH website, got a link? You mean he's the webmaster?

And what does this mean, "what he wants done will be done and even reported"?

Google is YOUR friend.

Cass Sunstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The interpretation of federal law should be made not by judges but by the beliefs and commitments of the U.S. president and those around him, according to Sunstein."

Is there anything you say in these boards that you haven't picked from Glenn Beck? Anyway, glad to see you're sticking with your guns on the issue of separation of church and state, that you would like to see the separation disappear. For a moment, after reading your initial posts, I thought you'd flipped your stance, now wanting the separation.

Having said that, do you think religious organizations should be tax exempt?

I see not a single obot will answer my post. WHAT HAPPENED TO SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE that you dems and libs are ALWAYS screaming about? Nancy Pelosi was leading the charge too. Now she's doing it like she was ok with it all along. Can ANY of you see the hypocrisy you are creating with this?

And this is in the presidential advisory council's report, where?

I do.
How many times is the dollar taxed before it hits the collection plate of a church?
The dollar is thinned out enough already, keep thinning it out, does not make much sense and all for what?
Think about what taxes do to the value of a dollar, before paddling the canoe down this river.

Could you explain this a little more clearly, please? I'd like to understand what you're saying. Are you saying a dollar has less purchasing power each time it's exchanged?
