PayPal founder Peter Thiel donates $1.7M to Ron Paul PAC

Can it get any more "controversial" than that? A PAYPAL FOUNDER? The head of Facebook sure isn't going to declare for the only candidate worth mentioning!

............You've heard of numerous citizens fighting traffic tickets on principle using numerous different laws and arguments. But a church?

Their focus and reasoning may sound a bit quaint, but this is really a burst of fresh air. Society subconsciously (?) allows greater freedom to minorities, so predictably there's no talk here of yanking this congregation's tax-exempt status in this kindly, sensitive article.
