Semantic games. Funding faith-based initiatives neither establishes a religion nor respects an establishment of religion. Legislation funding faith-based initiatives is law respecting establishments of religion.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

The coerced redistribution of wealth does not promote the general welfare.

The law does not legislate for religious organizations - they are free to make their own internal rules and regulations as they see fit without Congress' knowledge, assistance or approval.

Oh, was faith-based initiatives for the San Diego Padres?

"Quit making stuff up - it is dishonest."

You need to take your own advice.

You can repeat that until you are blue in the face: in now way does the legislation contemplate the establishment of, respect the establishment of or establish any religion.

Please tell us which relgion is receiving this favorable Congressional treatment.

The coerced redistribution of wealth does not promote the general welfare.

The Constitution contradicts you, as does the Federalist.

The Constitution provides for taxation, and the Constitution provides for internal improvement projects and other undertakings to promote the general welfare.

Take it up with the Founders.

What was this non-sentence intended to mean?
