ClashDaily weighs in on Christian churches’ lack of response to left-wing
government abuse that began in the 1960s with anti-Christian Supreme Court
decisions. However, Black churches don’t seem to fear government retribution.
#WAR: National Effort To Bully Churches Into Silence Before Elections
With IRS Threat, October
27, 2014
Many pastors have been cowed into
inactivity by the threatened loss of their tax-exempt status if they say
anything remotely political.
This fear can make pastors who
don’t—or won’t—get good legal advice about as politically active as Howard
Hughes was during the flu season.
The church may, among other things,
register their members to vote, pass out voter guides, invite all candidates in
a race to speak (even if only one of them shows up) and speak directly about
specific issues. And by the way, in his personal capacity off the clock, the
pastor can endorse and support (or oppose) whomever or whatever he wishes, just
like any other citizen. Duh.
That said, The Americans United for the Separation of Church
and State is still trying to intimidate ministers with IRS scare tactics
regarding the potential loss of their 501(c)3 status if the speak out on
political issues. Please pastors … for the love of God and our nation … don’t
curl up on the floor in the fetal position and wet your big christian diaper in
fear of the IRS.
Check out this video regarding how the jackboots from
Obamaland wish our ministers to be mute on pressing issues.

4 Reasons Why Wussy Christians Bow To Big Government Goons
October
26, 2014
Whenever
the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered,
and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right
ought to reform the old, or establish a new Government; the doctrine of
non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and
destructive of the good and happiness of mankind. –Declaration of Rights,
Maryland
Unlike
America’s original rebel Christians who dumped the Brits’ taxed tea into Boston
Harbor and told King George that he could kiss their King George, today’s
evangelicals, I believe—especially the dandy ministers who love to be
loved—would have folded like one-ply toilet paper before British oppression.
We’re a timid tufted titmouse compared to our rowdy founding forefathers.
Here
are four reasons why I believe today’s evangelicals would have melted like
little bon-bons during the American Revolution:
1.
Some dainty saints of today think rebellion against tyrants is disobedience to
God, when the converse is actually true. Yep, these stooges of the machine
believe that Yahweh wants Christians to be the corralled cattle of corrupt
politicians and policies. Indeed, a lot of pop evangelicals have become nicer
than God. Our current craven “faithful” think it’s sinful to say bad stuff
about bad elected leadership. Many somehow think it’s righteous to go in an
unrighteous national direction. And we’ve got stacks of do-gooders who are
turning the other cheek to political abuse and generational theft so fast that
they make Shakira look arthritic.
2. A
lot of evangelicals would rather live as government slaves than live and die as
free men. Some do it out of sinful slothfulness, completely passive and thus
complicit in the face of evil. Others do so because they actually think Christ
was a Communist and that government theft and wealth redistribution somehow
fulfill the Sermon on the Mount. D’oh.
3.
Others, especially in the ministry, won’t say squat about our political squalor
because it’ll offend the emotional members of their congregation and thereby
jack with their weekly offerings, which, in turn, will cause them to lose their
vacation home in Naples where they’re currently banging their mistress. Wow.
Good luck at the judgment seat. I’ve been to many, many Tea Parties up and down
the east coast of Florida and have only run into a handful of ministers. Where
are you, ladies? Your absence and silence during America’s demise is more
obvious than Renee Zellweger’s recent nip/tuck. Hello, Judas.
4.
Another thing that irks me is this end-of-the-world Rapture mentality that,
supposedly, all of this bad stuff we’re currently fielding as a nation is God’s
plan for the ages and that there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m sure glad
our predecessors didn’t look at the gargantuan junk they were facing during
times of oppression and upheaval and say, “Oh, well. The Rapture must be right
around the corner.” No, what they did was think, work, pray and fight. And
guess what, end-of-the-world Christian? They yielded up this grand experiment
in self-governance, that’s what.
The
Church needs the biblical rebel spirit of our founders injected back into the
evangelical mix instead of this squishy, pusillanimous, ignoble and compliant
crapola that’s currently cranking through our indolent pulpits and pews. God
help the Church to lose its cowardly, effeminate bent in these critical days.
Amen.

Christian churches are made up of liberals and conservatives. The liberals have no problem with our
government pursuing redistributive socialist policies if it helps the poor.
They have no problem with the U.S. government giving money to the UN and foreign
governments because they believe it helps the poor.
The conservatives believe that charity must be person to person as stated
in the Good Samaritan parable.
Conservatives believe that Mother Theresa had it right; charity is
person to person. Conservatives hold that charity from government breeds
corruption and socialism and that leads to communism and church closings.
Churches should address issues and endorse the principles of the
Founders, like freedom, self-determination, freedom to be self-supporting and
own property and inalienable rights consistent with free will human needs and
human nature. By refusing to do so,
churches risk becoming irrelevant and are encouraging their own decline and
eventual government initiated destruction.
Our shared goal is to encourage all governments to allow these freedoms
for their citizens, so that they can be self-supporting. Churches should work to end bribery and
corruption in all governments.
