What we really mean is "church based". Let's call a spade a spade. And Xisithrus? Those trolls merely exist to get attention from TP, they offer nothing in return.

If the State cannot tax the Church then we shouldn't be giving them money to spread their message. It can't be both ways. What ever happened to the seperation of Church and State.

"Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them." Conservatives my ass. Daryll? Va Voter? Valiant Venus? Big (O)? Michael? Jason Hendler? Comments?
