Politicking in church

Cal Skinner wrote this week on www.mchenrycountyblog.com about State Sen. Dan Duffy's "praying" in the Chicago church of Rev. (and Illinois State Senator) James Meeks.

Praying, I suspect, for lots of votes from the congregation.

Watch the video on Cal's blog. It must have been hot that day. Check out Rev. Meeks' vest with the epaulets and the pink handkerchief and tie. He ought to get himself a new tailor.

When Meeks introduced Duffy, he gave a political speech about vouchers. Notice how Duffy had to read his speech. He couldn't even stand up and speak from his heart. And then Meeks praised Duffy's and his own efforts to get rid of red-light cameras. Praise the Lord!

Maybe Meeks' church ought to lose its tax-exempt status over that load of nonsense.

I promise McHenry County church-goers this: I shall not stump in the churches of McHenry County. They are places of worship - for worship. Not for politicking!
