OK, we ll let them feed the homeless and help the poor get jobs. They can meet together as long as they don t use up too much parking. We ll even let them acknowledge their faith when they rescue people from a sniper or win a football game. But when those people get involved in politics, well that s just too much. It s that time again to vilify Christians who step outside their ghetto.
Workers can exercise political muscle through unions.
Small businesses join together to make sure their interests are represented. Environmentalists form PACs. Pro-abortion women lecture politicians through bundled donations. The Fifth Circuit recently ruled people cannot pray at high school football games because they are not solemn events. Now people are implying that government is too serious a proposition to let people whose faith influences their lives be allowed to participate.
