- Can NJ Punish Methodists for Marriage? Despite its historic nature, this officially sanctioned discrimination against a religious group did not require a special act of the legislature or ruling of the court to accomplish. A state bureaucrat, one Lisa Jackson (the state commissioner on environmental protection), quietly sent a letter informing the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, a Methodist organization, that the pavilion it owns on the beach is no longer eligible for exemption from state real estate taxes.

They'll push the RINOs as conservative in the primary & when the RINO wins they'll figure conservatives will STILL vote for the RINO rather than allow the Democrat to win. However, a growing number of Christian conservatives have felt conscience-stricken that by voting for RINOs they are allowing the frog to boil too slowly for Americans to see the danger they are in & are contributing to the increasingly liberal character of the GOP. They sincerely believe that to save their party, & country, they must refrain from voting for any more RINOs. They will not do what liberal Republicans do, which is to vote for the Democrat when liberal Republican do not want a pro-life Republican to win. But, they will refrain from voting all together rather than vote for what they perceive as evil. This debate was a test and those deemed the top four candidates failed it.]
