One of the more outrageous tricks the Left has played to augment their power is the misuse of the 501C3 tax exempt status that is provided to churches in the U.S. It is a deal with the devil in that churches benefit from the status in exchange for giving up their 1st amendment right to free political speech in the church house.
Churches and other religious organizations should be provided with tax exempt status because money coming to churches from congregants has already been taxed, and because churches are doing tremendous work in alleviating need and providing care and support to the community that would otherwise be provided for by the government. And it is certainly obvious that churches do a better and more efficient job at the local level that government can.
But Christian churches generally have strong moral and social beliefs that are at odds with the Left, and so the Democrats typically threaten to take away the lobbying and influencing power of the churches if they utter one word of political content in their sermons or teachings. And because so many churches operate on an economic shoestring, losing their tax exempt status would mean the end of their ability to survive.
Of course that does not apply to black churches which are political rallying grounds, but that support the Left. There is never any threat to pull the tax exempt status of black churches for preaching politics from the pulpit because it serves the purpose of the Democrat party, and because any attempt to apply the same standard on those churches as on other churches would result in bitter charges of racism and bigotry. But would it not make sense to grant all churches the right to speak politically, and to support candidates who would promote the beliefs and ethics of church congregation? Why should church members have to give up their first amendment rights in order to take part in religious ceremonies?
Now one presidential candidate is finally taking this injustice on, and it is refreshing and about time. The video on page two shows the candidate in a public meeting outlining his support for the churches.
See who is supporting free speech in the following video, page 2:
trump is a verry smart man hell make a great president trump2016,
When the Government took God out of Washington in 1962 is when they should have butt out. For 160 years prior America was doing better than these past fifty plus years.
Trump will try to get the 1st Amendment rights back for churches. Government oppresses conservative/white churches with the 501C3. Black churches talk politics all the time with no repercussions.
Amen !!!!!
You did not expose that PAID LAUGHING LIAR!
That is so stupid.
And some of you thought GOD COULDN’T USE THIS MAN? YE OF LITTLE FAITH.
Go Trump,,,,,Vote Trump,,,,

Since June 16th 2015 Trump has had to fight his way through everything, media..ppl , groups and orgs…and even the GOP have been against him. His whole campaign has been on the defense!!! Could you imagine what his campaign would of been like if it was on the offence?? wow..powerful!! To give you a little perspective on the force hes been up against. George Soros…has 130+ groups plus different formats fighting 24/7 since Trump entered the race. So sad, just b/c Trump goes against Soros plan for America. Soros is for open borders like Europe..TPTA..Common-core and Obamacare. Just like Murdoch, Rove, Bush family, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich etc.. Plus we cant forget Agenda 21…if you dont know what this is..look it up…is very very important to understand. George Soros, the NWO hedge fund billionaire, is blatantly raining down millions of dollars on countless liberal organizations in the United States to hijack your freedom of choice with his Open Society Foundations. Vote Trump…he has no agenda like the others do. Trumps national poll numbers as of today are %49 of registered republican voters…now add the %20 cross over dems and %20 indy’s..Trumps true numbers that the media wont tell you is at %89 Nationally…that is why they wont tell you…they are blowing Reagan’s numbers out the window..and he will win in a landslide in the General election and crush Hillary Clinton…You have to remember in why the Senators and Congressmen dont want Trump…b/c their gravy train would be over. They make a killing off of lobbyists, special interest groups and donors…Think of it this way..for years theyre bringing home millions a year…then President Trump cleans up Washington and now theyre making their regular government salaries $180,000 a year. NOW DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY SAY “NEVER TRUMP”??!! ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!! Trump will be the best President American has ever seen!! I cant wait to be a “proud” American again.
