Maybe    Saul Alinsky paid tribute to Lucifer in Rules for Radicals for    a reason.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Somerville, Mass.-based nonprofit is called Reason    Alliance. It carries on business in Washington State as the    Satanic Temple of Seattle.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Reason Alliance applied for tax-exempt status on October    21, 2014 and received it on October 31, 2014, according to    documents Judicial Watch obtained from the U.S. Department of    the Treasury. The group is focused on setting up chapters of    the After School Satan Club.  <\/p>\n<p>      Documents obtained by Judicial Watch      include the process of establishing an after-school Satan      club at Point Defiance Elementary in Tacoma. The entity      behind the club is a nonprofit called Reason Alliance, which      is based in Somerville, Massachusetts, and operates in      Washington State as the Satanic Temple of Seattle. Its      director, Lilith X. Starr, established the Point Defiance      Elementary Satanic club, the records show. In its application      the club states that its purpose is character development      and that adult instructors are vetted by the Satanic Temples      Executive Ministry. Children ages 5-12 will develop basic      critical reasoning, character qualities, problem solving and      creative expression, according to the Satanic Temple filings      included in the documents.    <\/p>\n<p>    These servants of the Despoiler of Souls explain on their website why they feel it    necessary to do what theyre doing:  <\/p>\n<p>      Its important that children be given an opportunity to      realize that the evangelical materials now creeping into      their schools are representative of but one religious opinion      amongst many. While the Good News Clubs focus on      indoctrination, instilling them with a fear of Hell and Gods      wrath, After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry      and rationalism. We prefer to give children an appreciation      of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of      everlasting other-worldly horrors.    <\/p>\n<p>    Well, thats just super.  <\/p>\n<p>    In other really, really exciting IRS news, media reports    indicate that the National Policy Institute Inc. has forfeited    its tax-exempt status after failing to file legally required    informational returns. The suspension by the IRS was    automatic after NPI didnt come up with the mandatory paperwork    for three consecutive tax years.  <\/p>\n<p>    According to the IRSs Automatic Revocation of Exemption List,    which isnt exactly easy to read, the organization appears to    have been stripped of its tax exemption as of March 13 this    year. NPI, which is headquartered in Whitefish, Mt., is led by    the somewhat notorious white-supremacist Richard B. Spencer.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>More: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/canadafreepress.com\/article\/obama-irs-rushed-like-a-bat-out-of-hell-to-give-satanist-group-tax-exempt-s\" title=\"Obama IRS rushed like a bat out of Hell to give Satanist group tax-exempt status - Canada Free Press\">Obama IRS rushed like a bat out of Hell to give Satanist group tax-exempt status - Canada Free Press<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> BombThrowers: The Obama administration sicced the Internal Revenue Service on Tea Party and conservative groups and slow-walked their applications for tax-exempt status, an important attribute for any new nonprofit organization.
