I think Bobby O'Rourke has finally figured out that he's never ever going to become the president of the United States so he can safely go ahead and say whatever stupid, brain-dead, wildly unconstitutional, Episcopalian crap happens to jump into that empty head of his.
Beto O’Rourke said he thinks that religious institutions should be stripped of their tax-exempt status if they oppose homosexuality.
While at a CNN candidate forum about gay and transgender issues, moderator Don Lemon asked the 47-year-old former congressman whether he supported revoking the tax-exempt status for religious institutions such as churches, colleges, and charities, if they don't support gay marriage.
“Yes,” O’Rourke responded, to much applause.
“There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break, for anyone or any institution, any organization in America that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us,” O’Rourke said. “And so, as president, we’re going to make that a priority, and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans.”
Best of luck explaining that one to the Muslims. Candy ass.
UPDATE: Figured that one out a LONG-ASS time ago, Josh.

In spite of my dim view of the IRS, I gotta hand it to them: I'm sure their offices are flooded with complaints to pull church's tax-exemption status, but if I recall correctly, over the past several decades the IRS has only done this (and then only threatened) once and that was a case of flagrant candidate-stumping from the pulpit.
I like to think the IRS instinctively knows that church's charitable work relieves the strain on government resources and thus they deserve a break, and the idea that exemption should be used as a weapon to enforce ideological conformity is offensive to them as it is to anyone of common sense.
I'll bet he doesn't see the irony in this: "...we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans.”

Not the sharpest tack in the box, Beto. That aside, it does reflect the gay-activist worldview. Here's a suggestion: incorporated in the male homosexual worldview (and intensified and purified among those in political organizations) is the hunger for applause you might see among theatre performers. That other people are unimpressed with them and don't give them gestures of deference and appreciation is interpreted as an injury to them. It's not a wise idea for the promotion of good order in the common life to feed someone else's narcissism, but it's policy for the Democratic Party. Academic journalist feminism and black chauvinism also seem derived from a mixture of aggression and neediness generating fanciful notion that they've been injured by others who are just going about their business. We'd be better off if they all just disappeared.
