"We must have separation of church and state! Unless we need the black vote!"

Michael Reagan recently penned an excellent editorial about how the left preaches (pun intended) the separation of church and state every chance they get - yet, during an election year, they use the pulpit as their personal squawk box like nobody's business.

In New York, former President Bill Clinton took time out from the European leg of his book tour to come back to address the congregation at the ultra-liberal Riverside Memorial Church, where he dissected President Bush's faith.

"I believe President Bush is a good Christian," he said. "I believe that his faith in Jesus gave him new purpose and direction to his life but that doesn't mean that he doesn't see through a glass darkly. It doesn't mean that you can have a bunch of people acting on your behalf and pretending that you don't know them. To say that the seven people who were on John Kerry's Swift Boat don't know what they're talking about when they say he deserves the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts."

That is false. President Bush never said that about John Kerry. If anything the president has praised Kerry and the medals he received. On a number of occasions he has said that John Kerry served with honor and praised his service to his country in Vietnam.

It reminds me of when Al Gore bounced from black church to black church during the 2000 election, imitating every street preacher he'd seen in the movies, but still coming off like a maniacal sci-fi robot with fried circuitry.

It gets worse. While that was going on in New York, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Democrat National Chairman Terry McAuliffe were desecrating the pulpit at Miami's New Birth Baptist Church.

The Rev. Sharpton got the congregation revved up by resurrecting the Democrat's favorite slander that the 2000 election was stolen by the Bush campaign – a charge proven false by a long investigation by a consortium of the nation's top newspapers, most of them near-house organs of the Democrat party.

"We're not people who are going to be beat twice," he stormed.

Not to be outdone in politicizing the pulpit, McAuliffe told the worshippers: "Bush has misled us for four years and will not mislead us for the next four years. Get out to vote and we'll send Bush back to Texas."

This is the Democrats' idea of separation of church and state. This is the Democrats' idea of how to worship God on Sunday. Lie your teeth out.

I've often wondered why the leaders in these black churches allow these charlatans to come into their houses of worship and condescend to their congregations, spoon-feeding them the same failed liberalism they've been spewing since LBJ.

In contrast, at my church on Sunday, we did what worshippers are supposed to do. We prayed. We prayed for the suffering people in the Sudan, for our Christian brothers and sisters being butchered by Muslim fanatics in that stricken country. We prayed that we and the rest of the world will be free from terrorist attacks.

There wasn’t a word about politics. And not a single lie was told.

So, while the left uses the pulpit any way they see fit - pushing their agenda down the throats of the unwashed masses along with their Communion, other conservative-leaning churches are being infiltrated by federal and local snoops, hanging on every word - just waiting to take away the church's tax-exempt status in the name of federal election law.

A plan to monitor the political activism of Wichita's conservative churches began this weekend with two people reviewing a morning worship service at the city's largest congregation.

Rose Rosenwach and Susan Kadison of Mainstream Coalition/The Interfaith Alliance Wichita were the group's first "assessment team" to conduct a review, visiting a morning service at Central Christian Church, 2900 N. Rock Road. They are watching for infractions of a law that bans tax-exempt churches from endorsing political candidates.

Rosenwach and Kadison sat, stood and applauded with the congregation, citing a need to blend in. They also took notes and listened intently to speakers during the 90-minute service.

This organization, which the article referred to as "non-partisan", is like a group of 6-year-old tattletales, ready to run to the government with tales of how churches are engaging in hate speech and political partisanism because they don't agree with the group's agenda. Did I mention they're non-partisan?

The group tends to support issues such as gay rights and objects to overt attempts by any religious group to convert someone to another faith.

Among the group's complaints is the way dozens of conservative churches in Wichita lobbied state officials earlier this year to ban gay marriages in the Kansas Constitution.

In this election season, they think some churches have lent support to candidates opposing gay marriage in ways that raise ethical and legal questions.

When you hear the press use the term "non-partisan", you can bet your ass it's a leftist group. The media is quick to label any middle-of-the-road or conservative group as "right-wing".

Pay close attention this year as you'll hear of leftist politicians getting a free pass as they blather on at leftist churches all over the country - meanwhile, the federal snoops and spies may very well be sitting next to you at your own church - especially if (God forbid) your church doesn't tow the government-approved line of liberal Christian orthodoxy.
