I think all churches should lose their tax-exempt status. They are a business and are undeserving of special tax treatment.

Is The IRS Targeting Religious Non Profits ?(watch out watchtower)
by frankiespeakin inhttp://secular.org/news/atheists-say-irs-not-doing-enough-hold-churches-accountable.
washington, dcthe secular coalition for america today sent a letter to the white house, pointing out additional internal revenue service failings, including neglecting to investigate churches and religious charities that engage in politicking from the pulpit.. in its letter, the secular coalition said religious charities have been flaunting their flagrant disregard for [irs] laws for years.
over 1600 pastors participated in last years pulpit freedom sunday, where pastors not only violated the law by lobbying and endorsing candidates, but filmed their illegal actions and mailed them to the irs.. the secular coalitions letter comes on the heel of another letter sent to the white house by franklin graham earlier this week, asserting that the irs is improperly targeting religious charities for investigation, including the billy graham evangelistic association.

Where to bury the heroic Tamerlan Tsarnaev

<<<< 144001, she couldn't be extradited from New York to Rhode Island on shoplifting charges let alone from another country to the US. I don't think Russia has an extradition law with the US.>>>>>
Regardless of whether there's an extradition treaty with Russia, Putin doesn't believe in the cause of these terrorists, and her delivery to us could be negotiated. If Obama had any gonads, she would already be over here facing charges with the piece of poo she calls her son. I think she should face the same fate as her son.

He should not be allowed to be buried anywhere in this country. They should ship his remains to his dirtbag shoplifter mother in Russia.
On another note, the US should be seeking to extradite his mother on the shoplifting charges. While she is here, they could charge her as a conspirator in the bombing.
I am shocked that this dirtbag family was allowed to live in our country, despite the fact that the dead son and his mother were both on the US terror list. Anyone on that list who resides in this country ought to be rounded up, charged with a crime, or deported. Why bother having such a list if the persons on it are allowed to roam free and commit acts of terror here in the US?

Would you pay $600 to see The Stones?
by littlerockguy ini can't believe the prices of concert tickets these days.
the rolling stones is starting their tour this year in los angeles tonight and some of the floor tickets are as high as $600!!!
they were in little rock back around 2005 or 2006 and the most expensive ticket back then for their show was $300.

<<<< I wouldn't pay $600 to see anyone. I can buy a CD for under $20 and listen to it as often as I want. To top it off, I don't have to sit in a small uncomfortable chair and tolerate thousands of annoying people around me.>>>>
Amen!
