12 years ago @ Breitbart.com - Obama to Congress : do... · 0 replies · +1 points

Through the looking-glass, where up is down and down is up.

It is the congress mucking-up Obama plans that is responsible for the economy getting better. It is congress standing in the way of Obama's policy that is assuaging business' reluctance to invest in growth.

The same thing happened during the Clinton administration. The economy started growing again when the Republicans took over the congress, and business could grow without fear of being taxed to the degree it takes to sustain a socialist economy.

The Clinton administration took credit for the benefits a hostile congress gave his administration.

Hopefully, the people not be bamboozled again, and allow themselves to be told that the improvement in the economy is due to Obama's economic policies.

"To take your example, the state very much effectively subsidizes an archdiocese by not taxing it "

Subsidizing by not taxing? Now, that's benevolence at its highest.

Of course, there are conditions to be met. A church will lose its tax-exempt status if it prostelitizes in the name of politics. Well, that is if it prostelitizes in the name of a particular brand of politics.

The left was pretty much silent when the Rev. Jackson urged the congregation to "stay out the Bushes". And unconcerned with Jeremiah Wright's prostelitizing for Barrack Obama.

Not that the political right is innocent. They, too, play footsie with the Robertson/Falwell congregations.

"If a government arm decided to make public funds available to print media organizations .."

Well, if a government arm decided to make public funds available to an archdiocese, would there not be howling protests from the left?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; ...."

If a seperation of church and state is found within the above, should there not also be a seperation of press and state?
