Activists Seek Revocation of Tax Exempt Status of Churches That Supported Prop 8

San Francisco Chronicle: Tax-Exempt Benefit Disputed in Prop. 8 Campaign, by Matthai Kuruvila:

In the wake of Proposition 8's passage, opponents are railing that churches that supported the ballot measure violated their tax-exempt status.

It's a common accusation at the now-weekly protests, gaining enough traction that Geoff Kors, a member of the No on 8 executive committee, said lawyers are investigating the issue. "The Mormon church overstepped its boundaries by being a tax-exempt organization," said Sharone Negev, 54, of San Francisco, who has gone to protests in San Francisco and the Mormon temple in Oakland. "They clearly are not supposed to be involved in political activities."

But interviews with experts and activists on the issue say Prop. 8 opponents should look elsewhere for reasons to criticize the measure's supporters. "They almost certainly have not violated their tax exemption," said Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, the leading advocacy organization on the issue. "While the tax code has a zero tolerance for endorsements of candidates, the tax code gives wide latitude for churches to engage in discussions of policy matters and moral questions, including when posed as initiatives."

(Hat Tip: How Appealing.) See also Cain: CA Churches Will Not Lose Tax Exemptions for Performing Same-Sex Marriages If Prop 8 Fails (10/23/08).

Trivia: When Joseph Smith formed the Mormon Church, the US government repeatedly tried to prosecute them for polygamy, while Joseph Smith kept claiming freedom of religion.

Finally, the US government threatened to revoke the Mormon Church's tax-exempt status. Shortly after that, Joseph Smith reported having a vision that God told him polygamy was wrong.

It's a miracle!

Nite, realwest!

I usually post articles in the Spinoff-Links, not here in the dialogue, but your feedback could help me. Does anybody care whether I do or don't continue publishing? Does anybody like it? What do you get out of my publishing? Am I changing any minds? It seems like we keep slipping. As Steve Emerson writes today: "

Watching and reading the last 5 days of reports of the Mumbai attacks was an Alice in Wonderland experience. Even after an Islamic terrorist group took credit, TV anchors and reporters assiduously avoided the term Islamic terrorist. "

Obama keeps stocking-up on anti-Zionists who'll pariah-ify Israel and by proxy, Jewish people everywhere. Has it come to this - checkmate?

Check out the Intrade US Presidential Election 2008 Historical Data. If you examine it closely, you'll notice that 0bama really starts to be considered a serious possibility as US President around Sept. 28-29 of this year.

To quote a tired old sports cliche... you gotta be in the game to win it.

Another thing... when gas was going for $4+/gal, Øbama said he was OK with the idea of $5 gas, his only problem was how quickly the price got there. At this rate he's going to have to slap a 300% tax on it to realize his dream.

Don't give him any ideas. ;)

Source d'inspiration.

Here's another story you're unlikely to hear on the nightly news, but it's very worth reading. A reasonable translation can be had here.

We have shared our daily life with two US units for quite a while - they are the first and fourth companies of a prestigious infantry battalion whose name I will withhold for the sake of military secrecy. To the common man it is a unit just like any other. But we live with them and got to know them, and we henceforth know that we have the honor to live with one of the most renowned units of the US Army - one that the movies brought to the public as series showing “ordinary soldiers thrust into extraordinary events”. Who are they, those soldiers from abroad, how is their daily life, and what support do they bring to the men of our OMLT every day ? Few of them belong to the Easy Company, the one the TV series focuses on. This one nowadays is named Echo Company, and it has become the support company.

...

We seldom hear any harsh word, and from 5 AM onwards the camp chores are performed in beautiful order and always with excellent spirit. A passing American helicopter stops near a stranded vehicle just to check that everything is alright; an American combat team will rush to support ours before even knowing how dangerous the mission is - from what we have been given to witness, the American soldier is a beautiful and worthy heir to those who liberated France and Europe.

To those who bestow us with the honor of sharing their combat outposts and who everyday give proof of their military excellence, to those who pay the daily tribute of America’s army’s deployment on Afghan soil, to those we owned this article, ourselves hoping that we will always remain worthy of them and to always continue hearing them say that we are all the same band of brothers”.

It would appear that, for some Frenchmen, the spirit of Lafayette is alive and well.

For McCain it's mostly on the immigration/bailout stuff. Yes, we are going to be stuck with massive bailouts, unfortunately.

Though I don't think the immigration stuff will fly...I don't really have a good reason for this other than my own personal feeling. I think it will probably get shoved to the back in favor of different shit-tastic offerings like healthcare.

When the Big 0 started with his “We will redistribute the wealth” theme I started selling. When he proposed taxing 401Ks and IRAs then I really put the pedal-to-the-metal and really started selling.

I am not going to buy until I hear better news on both those plans. Heck, I might as well invest in Chinese stocks. They probably have more of a free market compared to Zero’s economic redistribution plan. Further I am doubtful the big 0 can damage Chinese stocks. He can only wreck what he is close to.

Communism was meant to bring down capitalism. Instead:

China’s President has issued a rare warning to the Communist Party, telling officials the global economic crisis could shake its 59-year grip on power.

Capitalism wins even when it’s losing.

The funny thing about China is, as long as you don't actively criticize the gov't, you can pretty much get away with whatever you want over there. I saw some pretty interesting things. I also stepped in an open industrial sewer while walking around.

Back in 1969, the UK launched the first of its Skynet military satellites (They're up to Skynet 5 currently).

In the plot of the Terminator movies, "Skynet" is the name of a fictional series of artificially intelligent military satellites that controls all U.S. military weapons. Part of the plot of the Terminator movies is that, on August 29, 1997, they become self-aware, it deploys an army of Terminator robots against all of humanity, and eventually destroys all of humanity when it launches a full nuclear holocaust, making humanity extinct.

One way around that could be to purchase a single stock from the onestock page...and then continue to purchase more shares through that company's Dividend Reinvestment Program (where you can purchase more shares without a broker, but you have to own at least one share of the stock).

I am reminded of a time when my husband and I were watching The Wiggles with our young granddaughter. My husband could barely tolerate the show and when they started to sing the Fruit Salad song he couldn't grab the remote fast enough.

It makes you wonder just how many grandparents, or parents for that matter, who are still undergoing Barney councilling.

Oh. Grandchildren. I forgot about that.

Yeah, and just think of the poor bastard stuck in it. I wonder if the poor person has a special therapist just to deal with that?

Chances are Barney will be dead and buried- his still-beating heart torn out from its chest cavity and greedily devoured by something a hundred times as insufferable and saccharine...

re: #184 Crux Australis

Good Morning LGF.
The crisis in Canadian national politics continues to deepen. The 3 opposition parties announced yesterday that they have signed a formal deal to form a coalition government as soon as they get a chance to defeat the minority Conservative Government of Stephen Harper. Under the deal the Liberal Party (centre left) and the New Democratic Party (socialist) have agreed to combine forces until June, 2011, and have secured the support of the Parti Quebecois (separatist) until at least Spring, 2010.
Unless the Conservatives take the extraordinary step of proroguing (suspending) Parliament for up to 11 months, the leftist/separatist coalition will get a chance to vote down the Harper government as early as next Monday.
Under the coalition deal the new Prime Minister will be none other than the outgoing leader of the Liberal Party Stephane Dion, who less than 2 months ago led his party to its worst electoral defeat in over a hundred years, and who in disgrace was forced only last month to announce his intention to resign the Liberal leadership by May, 2009.
This move to negate the recent Conservative electoral victory is apparently quite legal from a constitutional point of view but if the power grab proceeds it will represent the closest thing to a coup d'etat that Canada will have ever experienced. There is little doubt that the government will become and remain weak and unstable for the foreseeable future - the last thing Canadians need during this critical period.
This is a cynical, dishonest, anti-democratic, contemptible, dirty, back-room deal between the power-hungry failed liberals, the lunatic fringe socialists and the scheming, Canada-hating Quebec separatists.
WAKE UP CANADA!

In my comments on the spin-off link to Charles Vick's new article on Iranian and North Korean missiles, I mentioned Mr. Vick's amazing record of unraveling then-secret Soviet and Chinese projects during the Cold War. He scooped official sources time after time, with predictions and analyses that turned out to be wholly accurate when Soviet records finally became available in the 1990s.
Another of his feats was the determination that the Soviet's Proton booster had actually been designed as a monster ICBM to deliver a postulated 100 megaton warhead.
Like his research on the N-1 Moon rocket, his conclusions about Proton were widely rejected at the time (ca. 1970) but turned out to be true.

re: #190 Spare O'Lake

If this opposition block pulls it off, won't it be the first time in 80+ years that there's been a change of government in Canada without an election?

Sort of a bloodless coup d'etat?

/Someone gets some Canadian channels on XM

re: #193 BlueCanuck

read that.. agree

re: #194 Fenway_Nation

Yes, that's correct. As well it will never have happened so soon after an election. The current government hasn't even had a chance to table a budget for the coming fiscal year.

I think the Libs and NDP are pissed that the Conservatives aren't bailing out any of their core supporters, i.e. unions.

re: #192 Mel Lono

Mostly largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, and the occasional fascist troll.

Not just grandparents. Spare a thought for us parents of young kids. If I never hear Barney again it will be to soon.

Another election? If there is a coalition I don't count on it lasting too long. There's a post in the linkviewer under Canada that leads to the National post column that talks about that actually.

Exactly correct. Canada has no history of coalition governments. Even though we often get minority governments, they usually manage to muddle along for a couple of years until the next election.
This is a game-changer.

Jack Layton (*spit*), the leader of the NDP (*spit*), attended the Dem convention and brazenly appropriated a whole bunch of Obamaspeak into his own campaign rhetoric.

Looks like the Labor Party in Australia are taxing and spending their way out of coming economic problems or so they think.

When the Labor Party comes to power in Australia you can almost guarantee that there are deficit budgets, tax increases and more unemployment.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, they're going to deploy our military in American streets under the executive power of the President. Apparently, Bush has wanted this for a while but now, lo and behold, the idea is gaining traction..

[Link: news.google.com...]

This comes part and parcel with some new warning about terror attacks unwrapped by ... Joe Biden..

[Link: news.google.com...]

Since the end of the Civil War the US military has been restricted from prowling American streets. Now we are going to give the authority to do that to Barack Obama.

Just watch. They'll be using the military in the cities in 2012 to enforce mandatory voting.
