That he had zero real support, he was riding the scraps of media shilling for his Texas Senator run.

It was only a matter of time. His desperate flailing on guns and the church just didn't gain the traction he wanted.

So are a lot of secular charities. Many suck at actually helping people. Why the focus on the religious ones?

Yeah but your solution is like saying you don't feel the rich pay their fair share so we should have a flat income tax of 30% with no exemptions starting at a $1 income. Your mad about a select few so you want to hurt tens of thousands to get a few dozen.

Waco and Ruby Ridge are among the biggest law enforcement blunders in American history. Ruby Ridge saw Randy Weaver spend 18 months in jail and be compensated for over 3 million dollars worth of damage because the whole thing kicked off with a 3/8ths of an inch shorter than the legal minimum...

It doesn't matter what you want though. I can say I want to grow raspberries on the moon, it has about as much likelihood of happening as the first amendment being successfully removed and then reinstated just to let you tax churches. Your idea also doesn't work much in theory as religion tends...

Beto is a serious candidate to get the black vote to edge significantly higher for Trump or just to not vote period given the large number of church goers and that they are one of the lowest demographics who support gay marriage. I would also be interested in seeing the reaction flipside...
