For several reasons, I'm thinking that repealing the Johnson Amendment may be the toughest and most important legislative push Trump will have. That's the law that forbids churches from talking politics if they want to keep their tax exemption. I view it as important, because I'm seeing a collapse of values on the left. I'm happy with how things stand now on equal rights, lgbtq matters, etc. I don't think we need to go down the cultural marxiist road any further. We already have enough participation trophies.
To my mind, notions of simple fairness require repeal of the Johnson Amendment. If labor unions can talk politics and keep their exemptions, why not churches? I could go on....
However, with all the left craziness that's going on, churches would become a powerful and loud political voice if the JA is repealed. I can jjust hear churches discussing the masturbation video, and the far left's war on America, etc. For that reason, I think the left will do anything to prevent repeal of the Johnson Amendment. Imagine a black minister at the Valdosta, Georgia A.M.E. church. I'll guarantee you that 90% of his/her congregation would not be voting democratic if s/he were allowed to speak zhir or zhee's mind..
Repealing the Johnson Amendment would change the face of American politics overnight, from school boards to the White House.. After the last few years, I'm ready for the pendulum to swing, and I don't go to church.
