Radical clerics Falwell & Robertson makes it into print
This is from my local weekly newspaper...

Look down below for Tax Churches. My was Yacht Club - which was borrowed from the Center for Am. Progress.

In response to "Amen Brother." I agree that church is no place for politics. However, why is it that every time I turn on the television I see radical clerics like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell blaming gays and feminists for all that is wrong with America? Meanwhile, this is the same Robertson that profits from slave labor in Africa. CNN used Christian Coalition fanatic Ralph Reed to respond to the Democratic National Convention. I think all churches, liberal or conservative, should be taxed on their donations and the preachers taxed on their salaries if they keep sticking their noses in politics.

3. Jesus was definitely a radical
but I'm not sure he would have laid any claim to the cleric part....

4. I don't think Jesus
I don't think Jesus Christ would have blamed gays & feminists for 9/11, though.
