Since the Tea Party has arrived on the scene in 2008, and quickly became the terrorist organization responsible for more American civilian deaths from 2008 - present than even al-Qaeda (see: Tea Party Death Squads, Jared Lee Loughner), they have also been waging a propaganda campaign through churches (see: Tea Party Propaganda Squads).

Some of you may read this article and say, "Hey, let's just stop allowing churches to rob us blind, and allowing the Catholic Church in particular to keep buying up so much land. That's a gross abuse of their tax exempt status, when it's possible for a cult of radicals who believe in a sky wizard and are constantly in trouble for child rape can be the largest land owner in Maryland. It's time we tax them."

But maybe the real problem is the Tea Party, and their efforts to politicize churches and use them so freely in their campaign to ruin America.

What do you guys think?

I think that when people try to radicalize the way their opposition is viewed rather than understand their concerns and work with them, in the long run it tends to bite them in the ass. If the Tea Party were as bad as you said it was I would be all for spreading the word, but of the people I know who support the movement, both here and in real life, I can't identify a single person who fits these descriptions.

I'm going to quote you in reverse order.

Political Chruches on the right is like a Bible Belt thing. It predates the Tea Party by Decades. Political Churches on the left also predate the Tea Party and are obviously not related to them in any way.

By the way, the article doesn't mention why enforcement stopped. You want to hear a good joke? Under the law, the duty to enforce the tax code was given to the regional manager. Under the law created shortly after Obama came into office regional managers were eliminated as a cost cutting measure. The courts maintained that the enforcements were invalid because they were not approved by the non existant regional managers. Nothing to do with the tea party.

Up until the Obamacare provision that forced church related organizations (who are self insured) to provide abortion / abortifactant coverage the Catholic Chruch has generally leaned strongly to the left especially on Social Issues. In fact it initially supported Obamacare. Like the Tea Party you seem to be connecting two things that are absolutely unrelated to the article. In addition the Catholic Church goes out of its way to be apolitical, even to the point of refusing to condemn politicians who flat out tell falsehoods about what the church teaches and do actions that automatically carry sentences of excommunication.

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.

I disagree with you Scotty, I think the Tea Party is wrong to steal from hard working Americans. We get far less, harmed even, by the churches in this country. At least the Post Office provides a service, FEMA does far more in times of distress and social security helps everyone. That's just to name a few.

God Bless America's Government Under Obama.

The only theft I see is the $250 jacked out of my paycheck every single week before I even open the envelope the check is in....and it's a damned tragedy that about 125$ of that is WASTED, and doesn't help anyone or anything.

Stop stealing 20-40% of peoples income and let people keep the fruits of their own labor, and the economy will be fixed overnight.
