So, Perry's Prayer event was not political, huh? What about THIS:
The organizer of The Response, the massive Aug. 6 prayer rally initiated by Gov. Rick Perry, is calling on attendees to help register millions of conservative Christians, prompting questions about the group and Perry’s claims the event was not political.

Don Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association, sent an email Thursday thanking recipients for registering for The Response, which drew thousands of people to Reliant Stadium.

“Today, I want to introduce you to Champion the Vote (CTV), a friend of AFA whose mission is to mobilize 5 million unregistered conservative Christians to register and vote according to the Biblical worldview in 2012,” Wildmon wrote.

1. How can he get away with that?
How can churches get away with registering their congregations and passing out campaign fliers?

Tax those so-called "churches." And tax any income Gov. Goodhair took in at his "prayer" event.

10. As long as it's not partisan, they are free to exercise their rights under
the Constitution.

9. The new gaggle of Religiowackazoids believes that all civil law
should arise directly from Old Testament law.

So it's as though Jesus never passed through, but they call themselves "Christians." :shrug:

11. Obviously it means "vote Bernie Sanders 2012"
When the people asked Jesus about paying taxes, Jesus told them to do it.

5. This has been going on for years under the radar. google 7 mountains. It tells
how these crazies are taking over our government and are going to replace our government with a theocratic government. America better wake up. They started at the local level like Palin. They took over school board, local offices, legistures of their states, senators and congress and now they are after the price office of the president. Everybody open your eyes.
