Despite Democratic-nominee Barack Obama’s claim that, if he were elected, his administration would handle faith-based initiatives better than BushCo, that appears to be not the case.
Faith-based groups that receive federal money will still be able to discriminate in hiring.
The Obama Administration claims that can only be done within the portion of a religious agency’s program that doesn’t get federal money.
To which I say:
• Bullshit; and
• Do we look that dumb?
Mr. President, is your faith-based programs office really going to have an army of lawyers overseeing agencies that get federal money? No. And, puhleeze.
That said, If Rev. Jeremiah Wright could get a grant to pay for a bullhorn and a canopy so he can harangue you outside 1600 Pennsylvania Ave….
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
