Steve, Too bad they didn't include the right to make a living in the bill of rights, then maybe taxation altogether would be unconstitutional. There is no inconsistency in my post. I wish I knew more about it to pass on to you. From a christian point of view I'll say that Jesus was not political at all, but He lived in a different time. I think what has happened is that christianity has been attacked legally and politically by organizations who have distorted the constitution. The doctrine of separation of church (taken from a letter by Jefferson, it's not in the constitution) and state is false and not what Jefferson intended at all to convey in his letter to the Pennsylvania congregation that he was responding to. This doctrine has been a spear head to legally shut up christians now for 30+ years. Christians have responded legally and politically to defend themselves. They have to do this with the resources they have and I don't think the laws should go so far as to deny the means to fight the forces arrayed against us. Some consider christians a threat and will not be satisfied until it is illegal to mention the name of Jesus. And believe me, that is where this country is going and it will happen. The USA, last refuge of freedom, will also become a tyranny. It's happening now, but you don't take it seriously because it's not happening to you.
