» Brian Tubbs - George W. Bush

George W. Bush has circumvented a way around the Constitution with his OFFICIALIZED RESPECT for FAITH BASED CHARITIES which are the ESTABLISHMENTS of religion.

Technically, Alcoholics Anonymous could be considered a faith-based charity.

I think the government should support those initiatives that WORK. If a faith-based initiative does a better job of reforming drug addicts than a fully secular entity, then the faith-based entity deserves support. Period.

And the Founding Fathers would have NO problem with that.

If the First Congress, Pink, printed Bible (at taxpayer expense) for the Indians and encouraged missionaries (incl medical missionaries) to the Indians - I doubt that they'd have a problem with faith-based charity help today.

And, the First Congress was the SAME Congress that sent the First Amendment (incl its establishment clause) to the states.
