Reply #187: I don't know

if it's "OK" to do so. I wouldn't vote for it myself, if it was put to the vote. But I believe the church has the right to do so, and it has nothing to do with separation of church and state. Religious people have political opinions, too, which they are free to express and to vote for. The churches, themselves, of course, are not supposed to endorse candidates, although some of them do. The IRS needs to look into this. But they are perfectly free, as I understand it, to take political positions.

You seem not to have read my posts carefully. Let me summarize for you. I think the church was within its rights, whether or not it was right to do as they did. I do not think this action, even if wrong, was in anyway comparable to the Oklahoma City bombing or a witch-hunt.
I think it demeans our cause to indulge in such hyperbole. These are my only points.

If the Democratic party doesn't let me vote in their primaries, I will be very surprised.
