In a major victory for religious freedom and free speech, the IRS has taken a crucial step forward. Churches and places of worship can now speak openly about political candidates without fearing the loss of their tax-exempt status. Gone are the days when pastors, priests, and ministers had to tiptoe around political subjects while trying to guide their congregations. The IRS decision to reverse an outdated ban ensures that religious leaders can fulfill their traditional role as moral compasses without interference from big government.

This decision echoes the values America was built on—faith, freedom, and the ability to speak one’s mind without repercussions. For too long, the IRS dangled the threat of taxation over churches, silencing those who dared to engage in politics from the pulpit. But in this new era, church leaders can point out the clear divide between candidates who respect Christian values and those who do not. And as the cultural and moral fabric of our society continues to unravel, their voices are more critical than ever.
Of course, liberals are sure to wail about this as an inappropriate mingling of church and state. But isn’t that just a tired tactic to silence those who don’t parrot their anti-American and often anti-Christian agenda? It’s high time to peel back the ridiculous accusations and let churches speak freely, just as progressive institutions have done without restraint for decades. Why should religious conservatives be the only ones muzzled?
This isn’t just about giving churches a voice. It’s about recognizing the reality of what happens when faith intersects with the political sphere. The bishops and pastors brave enough to speak their minds should worry about pleasing their Maker and their flock, not the bureaucratic spooks lurking in Washington. Allowing them to do so without fear of fiscal punishment is a step towards a more representative, and dare we say, a more authentic form of free expression.
As America stands at a crossroads, will our leaders be bold enough to side with those who value faith and freedom, or will they cave to the cries of political correctness? The IRS ruling shifts the power back to the people, and it’s up to them to seize it.
