Apparently, a number of evangelical ministers think the law doesn't apply to them.
Not surprisingly these ministers support the Republicans.
They've even gone so far as to say a vote for Obama is a vote for immorality.
What I don't get is that McCain voted for a war, based on lies, where thousands of U.S. soldiers died. How is that moral?
It isn't moral, but when an ideology smacks up against the facts, guess what loses? The facts. This is true even for the faithful.
The founders were genius by separating church and state. Now a bunch of ahistorial loonies are trying to undermine the American system for their own political power. I don't think Jesus would have done that...
These ministers are violating a central precept of Christianity, viz., "One cannot serve two masters."
They need to either serve their faith or get out of the ministry altogether. That won't happen though because the need to gratify their egos, like with all nut jobs, will exceed the dictates of their faith.

Taxes are only for the "little people"
This story goes to show that taxes are really "just for the little people."
And we wonder why our deficit has mushroomed.
Not only do we have runaway spending, but we also have a significant number of corporate tax cheats.
I wish I could get away without paying taxes for 7 years with the excuse that it's just too tough.
Here's why corporations get away with it: Individual taxpayers can be jailed for non-payment of taxes. How do you jail a corporation? You can't.
So, where's the incentive to pay taxes if the consequences are only financial?

Iraq can pay for reconstruction, but our government prefers that the U.S. taxpayers foot the bill
Here's a serious problem.
One of the selling points of the Iraq War was that oil revenues would be used to rebuild the country from the damage.
Apparently, that isn't happening. Instead, the American Taxpayer is footing the bill.
I have to ask: if Republicans are so opposed to taxes, why are they so damn earnest at putting the U.S. so far in the red that our dollar is worth squat and that taxes will be necessary to get us out?
This is wrong and it's time the Iraqis start paying the tab.
