The Salvation Army felt it should not sacrifice its service to the thousands of persons who receive assistance through this funding source in exchange for denying access to benefits to the very few employees who choose to exercise this option.

The path to Hell is paved with good intentions ...

The path to Hell is paved with good intentions ...

In this particular case it seems to be paved with tax dollars, or greed for them.

I used to give 100% of United Way donations to the Salvation Army, and always donated $20 or so each time I passed the "kettle". Even though I am agnostic, I supported their approach and their requiring results as the price of their help.

No more. Any charity picking my pocket via taxes is not a charity, IMHO. I'll find one who asks for donations in lieu of theft. I hope more people indicate their displeasure with this PC and tax-funds-greedy approach.

So they threw principle out the window. Had they never taken government sheckles, they wouldn't be subject to government shackles.

The Salvation Army does not support the homosexual lifestyle... we only give them money.

Why does this guy remind me of Claude Rains, and why can I hear him saying, "We are shocked at the homosexual agenda," with his hand is out receiving money from the government that supports it?

What happened to character?
