More hate groups in this countgry than in the last fifty years. The reason is the the influx into our lives and government of religious fanatics that expect to change all our lives with their extremism. This is a dangerous situation We need to stop this in its tracks or we pay dearly.
We will lose all freedoms if we let these crazy people get more of a hold on this country. than they aleady have. . Democrats have many faults and in a lot of ways they are as bad at governing as the Republicans .....but at least they do not try to suppress our lives to the point of insanity.They do not mess in our personal lives and they do not threaten us with their so called superiority.
There is a Bill now being passed around in Congress... flying under the radar.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) recently introduced H.R. 3600, “To restore the Free Speech and First Amendment rights of churches and exempt organizations by repealing the 1954 Johnson Amendment.” The Johnson amendment, passed by Congress in 1954, is the law that prohibits religions and churches from meddling in our secular government.
The issue, houses of worship cannot both endorse or oppose a particular political candidate and receive a tax exemption from the government.
Republicans are pushing religion down our throats. They hate anything and everything. We should all refrain from voting for Republicans for a few years to see if we can break the backs of all these extremists. Republicans should know that we cannot do this to our country. They know that they to can fall victim to these dark forces.
Maybe a few elections lost to the point of humiliation, will discourage them.
