clerics

I just noticed this again over at S-Town Mike’s (not saying he’s done it before, just saying that I’ve seen it before and seeing him do it just reminded me that I wanted to say something about it):

Mike Byrd doesn’t have a whole bunch of sympathy for pastors and tax activists who think placing restrictions on the free speech rights of clerics in exchange for tax-exempt status is an undue burden:

Why is this even getting play at "Taxing Tennessee"? Just because pastors may have to pay taxes if they publicly endorse parties and candidates?

Jeff Cassman on the rebuke of pro-choice Catholic politicians by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops:

. . . unless you're Murphy Brown (wink-wink).

That's the headline from this AP story.

All I could think of when I saw the headline was how about apologizing for all the people shooting?

Sheesh. Bush is no different than the clerics that run Iraq. Religious fanatics of any stripe are dangerous.

Vote on who should be the TOP DOG on Foreign Policy's List of the Brainiacs...

I am sorry to say that I nor any in my family area eligible this year, due to my past winnings in years 200o & 2004.

President Bush welcomed the Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark to the Crawford Ranch. I pulled out a couple of nice statements for you from Rasmussen on liberty.
