Um, it has a lot to do with taxes – esp as the IRS is investigating. Keller has chosen to take advantage of a provision of the tax code – he made the application to be treated as 501(c)(3) – and now he chooses to ignore the rules. That has tax consequences – hence its appearance on a tax blog.
As to partisan? Hardly. I clearly state in all of my posts on this subject that Keller is being investigated for making statements against Romney (GOP) and now, there are calls for statements against Obama (Dems). How is that partisan? I don’t care what he says about any candidates as long as he doesn’t use his organization as a platform to do it.
Finally, re out of context, granted, I didn’t quote the entire book of Matthew or all of the gospels – you can read that on your own. But my point was that when Jesus was asked the greatest commandments, this was his answer. He didn’t encourage his followers to belittle those that they perceive as enemies.

What does this have to do with taxes? It’s a political rant. A partisan political rant. The government putting limits on what stance the 501(c)(3) organizations may believe and preach is equal to government intervention in religion, regardless of what religion it is. I believe many of the “Christian” religions in this country are not Christian, and I can prove it by their own words. However, I keep that to myself.
As far as your Biblical quote as ammunition against this person’s opinion is concerned, is is out of context, as usual for political rants.
Jesus commanded us to “Love thy neighbor…” and He also commanded us to “Judge not let ye be judged…” Both of which would be out of context in this article.

Keller, as every American and those who live in democratic societies, have the right to free speech. He can preach what he wants, and encourage others. But the limit is using the airways and his tax-free status to play politics. If he wants to play politics, then do it without tax-exempt status. Lots of folks want religion out of government. In some ways that is impossible and as it should be. America’s tolerance of religions by its citizens is God given right.
Keller may have points to make. So did Hitler. What he does with his tax-exempt status should be as important as what our next president believes. Go IRS!!

BILL KELLER IS THE JOKE. Not only does the think he is above the law, he thinks he is above gods laws. Now he says he is taking this all the way to the supreme court. Wasting your tax dollars so he doesn’t have to pay taxes. What a scam.

Not completely sure Obama is for the truth or just filling a seat? His election campaign is only for his net worth leaving the American citizens 3rd or 4th on democratic Obama priorities.

This is the thing: it’s okay for you to say that in this context. That’s free speech!
The difference is that you’re not acting on behalf of a tax-exempt organization. That is the problem with Keller’s actions and statements.
