I see nothing wrong with his statement. He's right. Most of these so-called "pagans" are mush headed uber-liberals. They want someone ELSE to take care of the poor instead of going out and doing some good themselves. Particularly, they want GOVERNMENT to do something with someone ELSES money.

Towey was right.

Although pagans across the country have sent letters and e-mails to the White House calling Towey's remarks hateful and discriminatory, Cather Steincamp, a pagan author and activist in Richmond, said the furor has also led to "some self-criticism within our community about what we should be doing."

Good for him/her for saying so. If they're so damn pissed off, the best thing they can possibly do is prove him wrong.

Well you can kiss off 'Pagans for Bush' now.

After reading the article, and seeing that there are pagan groups out there that do work and contribute money for the poor, it seems pretty obvious that Towey stuck his foot in his mouth and should apologize.

H. James Towey, director of the White House's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, has stirred up a pot of trouble by suggesting that pagans don't care about the poor.

What kind of cretins has Bush put in office....Ashcroft isn't an exception, is he?
