Televangelist Building $4 Million Home Despite Layoffs At His Ministry - | digtriad.com
Charlotte, NC — A religious broadcaster is reportedly building a $4 million home at the same time his ministry has cut jobs and reset thermostats to save money in its new headquarters.
The Charlotte Observer reports that Inspiration Networks’ CEO David Cerullo is building the 9,000-square-foot lakefront home in a gated community in South Carolina.
Meanwhile, the newspaper reports that the ministry is laying off workers and has frozen wages and stopped making contributions to employee retirement accounts.
Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley is investigating the finances of other religious broadcasters and told the newspaper that televangelists should not spend viewers’ tax-exempt donations on extravagant lifestyles.
Cerullo, who receives $1.5 million in compensation, has said that 80 cents of each donated dollar is used to spread the Gospel.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
