LBC is Republican; And We Don't Pay No Taxes

[Johny Joe Hold]

LBC has always been a Republican Church--a branch of the local Iowa Republican Party.

In the story above, anti religious people are trying to threaten the tax exempt status of a Christian group because it endorsed the opponent of a transgendered Democratic Party candidate. The rules are that if you are a "tax exempt" organization, and donations can be deducted for the donor's income tax, the organization cannot endorse party candidates. That is as unAmerican as burning the Flag.

Voting for a transgendered candidate would be a sin. The government cannot come into an election situation and tell people, "Change your religion, it's election time." Religion does not change. If being transgendered is a sin before and after the election, it's also a sin during the election. Thus, endorsing a straight Republican is not a political thing, it is exercising religous freedom.

I suppose they will come after Landover Baptist next. But, it is the same with us. Voting for Obama instead of a Christian like Sarah would also be a sin. Thus, the government cannot come in and say, "LBC, you endorsed Sarah so you are practicing politics." We are not. We are in church.

We don't tell anyone how to vote at my church here in Libertydale, NC. However we do require each of our members to obtain an absentee ballot and drop it in the collection plate along with their tithes and offerings two weeks prior to election day. That way the deacons and I have enough time to fill them all out and turn them in.

There is no end to the depravity that the DemocRATs will foist on the God fearing American public. The next thing you know they will be forcing us to marry homers and lezbeans under the anti-discrimination laws. Obama has even continued Godly George W. Bush's Faith Based Initiatives, only he is now telling churches they can't discriminate by only hiring Christians. The next thing you know Obama will be giving tax payer money to mooselimbs.
