True. But that can be done without engaging in partisan politics.
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, speaking out against the immorality represented by the local politicians (Pelosi, Harris, Speir, Barbara Lee, Jerry Brown, et al. to name nationally known persons) can be easily taken by some as "partisan politics."
Lyndon Johnson clearly meant it for ill. D. James Kennedy (and others) used to say that the American Revolution was caused by Presbyterian clergy as they so vehemently supported it from the pulpit.
The clergy are entitled to freedom of speech. The Democrats have no intention of prosecuting the Black Churches who not only stumped for Jackson and other black candidates such as Obama but who also took up collections for black Democrat candidates during services. Actually, that is there constitutional right and I think that whites should have the same constitutional rights.

This statement is a non sequitur. It's not possible to be a strong supporter of a political cause without being partisan. (par·ti·san - a strong supporter of a party, cause, or person.) You are a partisan on many issues. Nothing wrong with it, in and of itself. Partisan is one of those buzz words used to stifle good causes. I think Bill Clinton made it common speak. But it's truly meaningless. I'm happy to say I'm an anti-abortion-holocaust partisan.
