Once again, Alaska is embarrassing itself before the nation. The citizens of Anchorage are currently locked in a debate over a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Leading the charge against the law, of course, is the Religious Right. Most vocal of the right-wing bigots is Jerry Prevo--pastor of the Anchorage Baptist Temple. Prevo is an arch-conservative firebrand famous for his vicious gay-bashing tirades. The ABT has become headquarters for "Christian" hatemongers hiding behind the Bible.
But, BUT, this fundamentalist assclown may have crossed a line this time. There is a federal law that prohibits churches being used for political purposes. The penalty is loss of tax-free status.
Clearly, by involving his church in the crusade against gay-rights legislation, Prevo is breaking that law.
We need some fair-minded members of the legal community here to step forward and prosecute this hypocritical scumbag before more innocent people are hurt by his hateful rhetoric.
Alaskan taxpayers should not have to finance a club house for gay-bashing rabble rousers.

I, like Madison, main framer of the Constitution, favor no tax exemptions for churches. If churches cry that it would cut into their charitable works, let the parishoners tithe more or dig deeper. They're businesses like any other. They take rake in $ for a product; especially the ones who engage in the big-time fundamental- televangelist-megachurch-show-biz-glitz-"that's entertainment" ilk. If they didn't get any tax breaks, they could rattle on all they want about the candidate of their choice.
