Splinterfree, in regard to the churches sticking their nose in the political process, my guess is that you don’t reside in the US otherwise you would kown that that black chuches have been doing it for years. Obama is in trouble since he sat in his anti American church for 20 years while his ex pastor was giving out his anti American speeches.
Now the other churches want to get in the act – Christians about abortion, Catholics about offering a place for illegals, etc.
The churches have no business offering political advise and if they do, the government should take away their right not to pay taxes!
