Ponderings of a Scientist

Let us take a minute to ponder this statement, “non-profit organizations (i.e. churches among others) are not allowed to promote specific political candidates.”  Now let’s think about the G.O.P, hum could they be connected to churches; I’m sure you’ve heard of the term Religious Right!  So why the hell is this liberal church in California being investigated by the IRS, and may lose their tax exempt status?  Because they take a stand on social issues.  We’re walking a fine line here, what is the difference between having a social view and a political view and what’s the difference between having a viewpoint and supporting a specific candidate?  Ah stupid, stupid!
