Michelle Obama Encourages Pastors to Break The Law

Where’s the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State when Liberal Democrats politic in Churches? If the wife of a conservative candidate went into churches to ask the people to vote for her husband, groups like the ACLU and Americans United would be sending threatening letters that the church could lose its tax-exempt status.

Michelle Obama doesn’t have to worry since no liberal is going to protest. But the first time a conservative appeals to church leaders to make their faith active politically, the ACLU will be ready to pounce on them.

Here's what the First Lady said to the members in attendance at the African Methodist Episcopal Church Conference:

“Our faith journey isn’t just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal. It’s about what we do Monday through Saturday as well. It’s especially in those quiet moments, when the spotlight’s not on us, and we’re making those daily choices about how to live our lives.”

I agree with her comments. Too many conservative Christians limit their faith to the “four walls of the church.” But this has never stopped liberal church goers. They’ve always used the church as a rallying point for voter drives.

Michelle Obama went on to say:

“And to anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better, no place better. Because ultimately, these are not just political issues; they are moral issues. They’re issues that have to do with human dignity and human potential, and the future we want for our kids and our grandkids. And the work of inspiring and empowering folks, the work of lifting up families and communities, that has always been the work of the AME Church.”

What? Did she actually say that “these are not just political issues; they are moral issues”? For decades Liberals have been telling Conservatives, “You can’t impose your view of morality on other people.” While Conservatives fell for this lie, Liberals imposed their morality on us with the passage of every new law.

So now we have a model for church-directed political activism. If politicking in churches is good enough for the First Lady, then it’s good enough — and legal — for pastors to do the same. If you’re a pastor and receive a letter from the ACLU to cease and desist from preaching politics from the pulpit, just quote the Michelle Obama: ““And to anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better.”

Amen. Preach it sister!

    Separation of Church and state stems from a precedent set by the first amendment, which states that "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." From the precedent, the government ought not provide any sort of aid or official support to a religious institution. Tax exemption is a form of financial aid, and as such, should not be given to religious institutions, such as churches. The first amendment also guarantees freedom of speech. As such, Mrs. Obama, pastors, and anyone else the church allows to speak should be allowed to express their political viewpoints there. As far as I'm aware, the ACLU's position has always been this, and the article in question doesn't cite an example otherwise.

    You won't get very far pretending the bill of rights isn't part of the constitution.

    No, I've just read the first amendment and the explicative ideas of its authors.

    The constitution is by no means an absolute moral standard. As such, the value of a law as "good" or "bad" cannot be determined solely by it's constitutionality. And the constitution itself isn't even absolute. Necessary aspects of society are never specified by the constitution, but rather left in to be filled by other subsequent laws. After all, the constitution never makes murder illegal, but I doubt you'd argue for our right to kill each other without legal interference.

    But that doesn't make everything in it a "good law" and everything not in it not a "good law," which is what your previous post stated.

    Given the precedent is already set, and that a vast majority of people, voters and politicians alike, already support the separation of church and state, don't we have more pressing matters than to make law something we already agree upon?

    Untrue. Previous court cases, though not technically laws, set legal precedents in the common law system. Also importantly, the fact that we have juries of American people means that general opinion can count as much as or more than written law. If the jury already agrees on something, it's as good as legal.

    That interpretation has, through the application of jurisprudence in the common law system, has had a strong basis in law ever since Reynolds v. United States.

    I presented a supreme court case, which is, legally speaking, constitutionally valid law. You responded by calling it BS without actually discussing my arguments, let alone presenting real evidence. Don't use insults instead of arguments if you want rational people to take you seriously.

    The ACLU knows that if they were to go against Michelle that the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) would shread them in court and expose their hypocrisy. The founder of the ACLJ is a former ACLU lawyer who after becoming a Christian was disgusted with the ACLU and found that the cases they usually took were incompatible with his conscience and even at times his Christian beliefs. So he left the ACLU and started the ACLJ. The purpose of the ACLJ is to uphold America's religious heritage (even the small amount of non-Christian religious heritage we have) and to protect the freedom of religion (especially Christianity). Seperation of church and state is NOWHERE found in our governing documents. The establishment clause only prevents the government from establishing of a state church/state religion. So that actually doesn't prevent politics being talked about in church but it keeps the government from talking religion in politics. The ACLU doesn't want to tick off liberal Democratics supporters.

    Alcee Hastings said it best: "All this talk about rules...we make them up as we go along". Little did we know at the time he was describing this administrations feeling about everything.

    If she is encouraging law breaking then maybe her husband should withdraw from the race.
