Perhaps it sounds cold, but why don’t the guys that want to do this stuff just do it and forget the Feds? Of course there will be strings, and a dumbing down of the spriritual angle (to satisfy the voracious God-haters). Let it go, get back to work and forget the handout. We are becoming a dependent nation where even “faith-based” entities need government or they are bitter.
“Compassionate Conservatism” is the foulest of curses. It took a vibrant party that was ascendent in the mid-to-late 1990s and destroyed it. It witnessed politicians who were elected on the promise of bringing small government back to Washington turning into bigger government whores than the Dems.
After World War II, no one wanted to be named Adolph anymore because of the foul association it had with Hitler. I hope this cancer of Compassionate Conservatism (aka Rockefeller Republicanism) has the same fate. I can’t explain how much I hate it.
A grant to pay for consultants...I’m speechless.

“Serving the office, not the man”

Well THERE'S your problem--that stuff isn't in the Constitution. Or did that never cross your mind?
