  1. Poliitcal violence should result in prosecution and imprisonment. No payment of taxes from making license plates.

  2.  @grumpycricket  You're a quitter?

  3. Look at the Supreme Court, beginning with Scalia's blurring of the bright red line between gov't control of the military, on one hand, and on the other hand, private anti-gov't fake "militia" insurrectionists. Why do you think the ban on bump stocks was overturned?

  4.  @kentdunne1320  This Pope has pointed out that US Catholics are in it for the politics and financial profit. Worldly power. Which is OPPOSITE Christ's message.

  5. They are subjectivists who reject reason and rule of law.

  6. It can't be proven there's a "God". What it is is pulling rank by claiming they are backed by a "higher being" -- Mike Flynn asserts, "My god is bigger than your god." It's all self-serving and -justifying hogwash.

  7. Nope: the non-taxation is part the agreement that is separation of "religion" and gov't.

  8.  @scoobydoo3928  It is a TWO-WAY agreement: "religion" won't mess with gov't, and gov't won't tax "religion". The law in this instance is the Constitution, which establishes the ground rules.

  9.  @michaelgillespie1206  The law is that they cannot engage in POLITICS.

  10.  @stevecausey545  They should cease playing politics.. If not, fine them until they cease meddling in politics.

  11.  @bipolarminddroppings  There shall not be a state "religion" -- one established by the gov't. And in turn, "religion" which keep its subjectivist crap out of gov't.

  12. @move_i_got_this5659 What? Engage brain before moving mouth.

  13. That would justify their meddling in politics and increase it.

  14. And THAT would give them the right to meddle even more in gov't. Do you people EVER bother to INFORM yourself of WHY separation of "religion" and gov't instead of simply popping off with ahistorical bullshit? You're no different than the uneducated movement against the Electoral College -- which the Republicans are ALSO engaged in --and replace it with "direct democracy". The January 6th insurrection was an instance of direct democracy -- as an attack on democracy itself. The mindlessness is mind-boggling: the REPUBLCIANS attack the Constitution, so the "solutions" proposed against that is to ATTTACK the Constitution.

  15. This is how the Founders put them in their place -- ___ From the North Carolina constitution adopted on December 18, 1776: "XXXI. That no clergyman, or preacher of the gospel, of any denomination, shall be capable of being a member of either the Senate, House of Commons, or Council of State, while he continues in the exercise of the pastoral function. . . . . "XXXIV. That there shall be no establishment of any one religious church or denomination in this State, in preference to any other; neither shall any person, on any pretence whatsoever, be compelled to attend any place of worship contrary to his own faith or judgment, nor be obliged to pay, for the purchase of any glebe, or the building of any house of worship, or for the maintenance of any minister or ministry, contrary to what he believes right, or has voluntarily and personally engaged to perform; but all persons shall be at liberty to exercise their own mode of worship:--_Provided_, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt preachers of treasonous or seditious discourses, from legal trial and punishment." ___ From the constitution of Georgia adopted on February 5, 1777: "Art. LVI. All persons whatever shall have the free exercise of their religion; provided it be not repugnant to the peace and safety of the State; and shall not, unless by consent, support any teacher or teachers except those of their own profession." "Art. LXII. No clergyman of any denomination shall be allowed a seat in the legislature." ___ From New York constitution adopted on April 20. 1777: XXXIX. And whereas the ministers of the gospel are, by their profession, dedicated to the service of God and the care of souls, and ought not to be diverted from the great duties of their function; therefore, no minister of the gospel, or priest of any denomination whatsoever, shall, at any time hereafter, under any pretence or description whatever, be eligible to, or capable of holding, any civil or military office or place within this State. ___ Those provisions, and their equivalents in the other state constitutions, eventuated in the First Amendment separation of "religion" and gov't.
