True Believers or Hucksters?

Just to remind everybody, myself included, because Republicans continue to blur the line between church and state whenever they need more blur …

“I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”

Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Danbury Baptist Association (January 1, 1802)

There’s a new Trump & Company Super PAC called “Preserve our Rights.” There might be just a little tax problem with this new PAC.

The website doesn’t tell you diddle squat about what they want to preserve – they just ask for your email address and then to donate some money to them. Personally, I wouldn’t give them either. They could be for beheading baby kittens for all I can tell by their website.

Whose rights are they talking about, exactly?

Their filing at the FEC does tell us this:

Best I can tell, their PAC is located at a UPS Store and the Suite 395 is a post office box in the metropolitan area of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Here ya go to see for yourself.  Now, there’s something else you’re gonna find out about this location in a minute.

The PAC treasurer, Craig Hagin, is the associate pastor of an Evangelical mega-church in Oklahoma.

And his parents, Kenneth and Lynette Hagin, are the seniors pastors.

As I mentioned before, the Super PAC makes it easy for the faithful to give online.

And so does their church.

Remember how I promised you some fun about where the UPS store is located?  Honey, it’s just down the street from the church.

Now let me tell you about what kind of Christians they are.  They held a conference last year at the church / Bible College.

More than 4,000 people packed an auditorium at Rhema Bible College near Tulsa, Oklahoma, last weekend for the Health and Freedom Conference—an event mixing Christian worship, promotion of QAnon, and messages decrying COVID-19  “fear porn.”

Leaders speaking at the conference included General Michael Flynn, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, several pro-Trump pastors, an assortment of doctors, and many others.

And here’s a sample of what was said there. This is Lin Wood at the Bible College.

I think they’re preserving the right to execute me.  I could be wrong.

Now you’d think they’d have a problem with the IRS. They don’t because they are getting bolder. When you start saying that people need killin’ in a tax-free building, you’d think that would be the end of the line, but apparently it ain’t.
