In 1954, Congress passed the Johnson Amendment, making it a violation for any non-profit to endorse any political candidate. This effectively muzzles the clergy, which is a violation of their Constitutional Right to both freedom of religion and freedom of speech. And here is a prime example why:
Let's say you decide to declare yourself a non-profit - John Doe Inc. - and get your non-profit status from the IRS because you plan to be a philanthropist and give away most of your income each year. Under the Johnson Amendment, you would no longer have the right to endorse any candidate. You forfeited your Constitutional Rights which, by law cannot happen.
Hillary Clinton stands up for the Johnson Amendment, and does not think it goes far enough. She has stated, on video, that "die-hard Christians will have to give up some of their beliefs" in favor of things like abortion. No candidate has ever been more anti-religious liberty.
In contrast, Donald Trump wants to do what should have been done 60 years ago - abolish the Johnson Amendment, and restore Constitutional rights to all.
The short take - if you believe the right to free speech and freedom of religion should be restricted to suit whatever political agenda a party - any party - might have, then Clinton is your best choice. But if you believe no person should have to forfeit their rights to suit a political agenda, then maybe Trump's your boy.
The choice is ours, as a nation, to make. I think Trump is a bit erratic and eccentric, but I also believe he will make better choices for us, particularly in his appointees to the Supreme Court. SCOTUS will rule our land for generations, not just 4 years. And that is the real issue in 2016. Save the Supreme Court from liberalism today, replace Trump in 2020.
With all the lies Hillary has been caught telling, it would be most unwise to believe anything she promises in order to pander for votes.

The Truth About the "Party of Hate"
Democrat politicians and the brain-dead zombies who follow them like lemmings just love to tell everyone that Republicans are "the party of hate and intolerance". So let's take a little look, shall we?
When was the last time you saw a Republican burn the American flag?
When was the last time you saw a conservative throw stuff at a liberal speaker on campus?
When was the last time a conservative shouted down a liberal speaker on campus?
When was the last time you saw a liberal speaker banned from a campus?
Which party refers to Christians as "Bible thumpers"?
When was the last time you heard a Republican say he/she hated America?
Which party demonizes law abiding gun owners and the NRA?
Which party demonizes the businesses that provide jobs and pay salaries?
Which party calls the other "homophobes" for their religious beliefs?
What party calls the other "bigots" because they point out that the majority of felons are black because they commit the most crimes?
Which party supports the hateful, often violent Black Lives Matter, but scorns police officers trying to protect us?
Which party propagated the "Hands up, don't shoot" lie that was disproved by the DOJ, but is still used to commit acts of violence?
Which party actively disemboweled one of their own (Bernie) and insulted his supporters?
When was the last time you heard someone had destroyed a Hillary billboard or signage?
When was the last time that someone was denied service for being a Hillary supporter?
When was the last time a liberal was punished for saying "Black Lives Matter"?
Which party gets demonized and hated for saying "ALL Lives Matter"?
When did a Republican ever try to remove Christmas from the public square?
When did a Republican ever say "What difference does it make" when four Americans are murdered?
When did a Republican congressman ever try to ban Hillary from a country?
Which party thinks it is sexist for a man to try to get a date with a woman?
Which party thinks it's OK to waive the Constitutional Right to due process when it suits them?
Which party used the I.R.S. to prevent conservatives from forming non-profits?
I could go on for days, but it's 3:00 AM, I think the point has been made, and I'm going to bed. And I will pray for those hateful, intolerant liberals because, while I may disagree with them, I am a conservative Republican and the only people I despise are child molesters (I guess that makes me a bigot), woman beaters and rapists (I must be sexist) and murderers (I must be intolerant). And the only thing I have against LGBT folks is that they insist I accept their beliefs but they refuse to allow me my own (so I guess I'm still intolerant).
