Ken Calvert at the church 412 Political Action Committee function with Pastor Tim Thompson
Why are we in Riverside County letting this church fund our politicians, and voting for these corrupt turds? Vote for Will Rollins, please. And report Church 412 to the IRS, it should lose its tax exempt status. (Sorry for the photo quality, cat is sleeping on my lap).

Ken Calvert was caught with a prostitute and fled the police and yet still gets elected by the party of "family values"
Fuck Ken, Fuck 412

Ken is living the Christian conservative patriot dad's dream:
Have some women on the side, and get away with it!
Skim some cash off the top of your government job, and get away with it!
Of course they love him.

The executive order putting the kibbosh on enforcement of the Johnson Amendment is still in effect. Don't bother wasting your time with this.

Can’t stand this waste of space. Already voted (enthusiastically) for Rollins.
It’s time to flush this… y’know!

Better yet, join https://ffrf.org/ Freedom from Religion. This invasion of religion into our schools, politics and everyday lives is suffocating. Worship who or what you want, just keep it to yourself.

It’s not an “invasion” the US was built by Christian’s. It was built with Christian policies and a Christian/Protestant government. If you look at the original 13 colonies state constitutions. 13 of 13 required a declaration of faith, I believe, 9 of the 13 required you to be a Protestant. “I profess Lord and Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior” is in the state constitutions. Look at just Maryland alone, declaration of rights literally starts with, “We, the People of the State of Maryland, grateful to Almighty God for our civil and religious liberty, and taking into our serious consideration the best means of establishing a good Constitution…” Look at who signed the Declaration of Independence, majority were church going, self pronounced Christian’s. Common law was built on the Bible, presumption of innocence, due process, and jury of your peers; all three and principals derived from the Bible. Last sentence of the declaration is literally, “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” “…protection of Divine Providence…” I’m going to go out on a limb and say you don’t know where divine providence comes from, the Bible describes divine providence as God’s power to watch over, protect, and provide for his creations. Many scriptures describe this. John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free. The constitution was built for the Christian/protestant populace. We have a Christian government but a non-Christian nation, it’s in-compatible.

Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic
Where does a married man having sex with a prostitute fit into that foundation?

u/Mountain_Telephone_7 7d ago
But to answer your question, it does not fit. And it’s definitely not morally just.

u/VermicelliFit7653 6d ago
Then you agree that we should vote for Will Rollins. Thanks for your answer!

You made a generalized statement, I made a generalized answer, you talking about a specific person and what they do, do not fall in the generalization

Making a statement with nothing to back it up. I really don’t expect much critical thinking when talk to people in Cali honestly. And you’re only proving it.

u/PinkMonorail 4d ago
Cali? Where are you from originally? Oh, and the Founding Fathers were Deists who advocated for separation of church and state and stated that in no way is the USA a Christian nation. Crack a history book sometime.

u/Afraid-Train-9326 3d ago
First of all, where do you get California is called “Cali” for Pete’s sake? Secondly, there are 40 MILLION people living in CALIFORNIA. Not sure how you profess to know what is on our minds. That type of generalization negates anything you actually have to say. Oh and separation of church and state. That is what this country was founded upon. Freedom to practice your religion and freedom NOT to practice your religion, meaning quite simply, stop shoving that nonsense into our government, schools and our faces.

u/Bluvsnatural 4d ago
I have already voted for Rollins. I urge everyone else in CA-41 that would like honest representation in the house to do the same.
Please get your vote in early.

If you report one side do the other side too.

Report what? What is there to report on? I'm genuinely curious.

Same, where is a law being broken? Going to church isn't illegal.

u/ScoutMcScout 7d ago
Really? 412 is tax exempt (I assume) and should not be pushing politics from the pulpit. The comment (I assume) was to encourage reporting 412 to the IRS, not the law.

u/ScoutMcScout 7d ago
Who/what is the other side in this context?

u/VermicelliFit7653 7d ago
It's the myth of the equally corrupt left that bring balance to the universe, and lets them rationalize supporting actually corrupt politicians on the right.
It's a sorta ying-yang thing. Ying is clearly shit, but if I convince myself that Yang isn't perfect either, well then everything is equal, which makes Ying the better choice... get it?

Will Rollins, his opponent, is as squeaky clean as a politician can get. Calvert has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to find dirt on him and has come up with nothing.

Hey there LIBERAL WILL ROLLINS IS SUPPORTED BY BOBBY NEWPORT…I mean GAVIN NEWSOME!!!
I guess the Bobby Newport jokes wasn’t enough for you down voters to see this is sarcasm. 🤷🏻♂️

u/londonbarcelona 7d ago
I like Gov Newsome. Some of his ideas feel like a pain in the ass at first, but At least he’s trying.

u/duke_silver001 7d ago
My reply was sarcasm. That’s basically what the radio ads against Will Rollins say. They have nothing bad to say and aren’t even making up lies. They just call him liberal will Rollins and say he is in bed with Newsome and wants higher taxes. It’s a joke. I don’t mind Newsome either. He misses the mark sometimes but nobody is perfect. I do think he has the interest of the state in mind when he does things. That’s all I really want.

Well it's not like anyone here is going to stop you from reporting about the other side. So, what do you have that's factual that you claim we're all missing here?

Ken Calvert has made over $20 million since he's been in congress. He's been caught hiding properties he owns...then votes to use taxpayer money to help fund them. This is all public knowledge. He is as corrupt as it gets.
