White House Defends Plan For Faith-Based Environmental Grants

CNSNews.com ^ | January 13, 2003 | Marc Morano

[The Obstinate Insomniac]

Typical Liberals, President Bush proposed allowing faith based groups to compete for Government grants instead of being automatically forbidden. The commies in the EPA see a chance to apply a "green" litmus test and then twist the concept in order to provide lots of taxpayer money to support their anti-human agenda.

Global warming caused by Burning bush. Burning high sulfur Devils causing acid rain. Organic water pollution caused by drowning witches.
Deserts, soil erosion caused by manifest destiny belief that rain follows the plow.
Birth control etc.
I want out.

[DoughtyOne]

Already under attack from the Left and increasingly from the Right, the White House is defending a plan to expand its Faith Based Initiative in order to fund religious
groups dedicated to environmental causes like "global warming."

This is D1 here, will someone just shoot me and get it overwith!

Maybe if I say that "August is hot as Hell" he'll throw some of the tax dollars my way??

[meema]

Good Grief!!!

I want out too! I KNEW something like this would happen!

The usual suspects will arrive shortly telling us how this is good for conservatism.

---

NOW the tree worshippers get a cut of the federal pie... yee haw.

---

and the musli, and the toad-lickers, and the satan worshippers.... and the cult of the baby killers too... after all GAIA must be fed innocent and willing sacrifices...

---

hi ho, hi ho, it's off to war we go, the borders here, completedly clear, hi ho, hi ho....

We are in the end times it appears. priests molest children in the name of Jesus. We go to war with a man loosely linked to the death 3000 americans... whilst we murder 4100 little "fetuses" a day with the killing machine at home... and meanwhile our borders are wide open and we are overrun with terrorists from abroad, illegals and the criminally insane.

Yup... bushbots be here any moment to tell us how "good we have it" with W at the helm. and we are in very big trouble... I feel so much safer now that we have tommy t, running homland securi---teee...

you cannot blame this on liberals OI... this is bush's ball all the way. he signed the greenies bill on the wetlands just yesterday too. he is, so to speak, "ONE OF THEM" when it comes to ever larger and more intrusive governance. Save the environment!! All hail Caesar.

How much vetoing has he done in the first two YEARS of his administration? How many billions has he cut from democrat spending priorities? Where are the school vouchers? Where is the TESTING of LIBERAL homosexual drug-addict teachers to see what they are really teaching with our tax dollars?

NOW we will have MORE federal funding of greenie groups. How long before ELF becomes a religion that can qualify?

3 million dead babies have been destroyed during his presidency.... and it appears he wants to give my federal tax money not to stopping the murder of innocents, but instead to the tree worshippers and toad lickers so they can save their god, the spotted owl...

Faith based initiatives... my question is "what is the meaning of faith" with George Bush? Since Islam is peace, in his twisted reasoning... it takes very little of a leap to realize he has NO CLUE as to what the American people believe is an actual "faith" versus a "cult".

in his mind, all religions are created equal... and I don't believe they are.

This ain't typical liberals... it's typical compromise of the truth, for political purposes, by our very own very confused president. Nixon said run to the right, govern towards the center... bush ran to the right, buit is governing left of center. this news is appalling to me. Bush I am afraid is not one with us regarding much of anything conservative... I have seen more disturbing "true colors" this past week than I saw in Clinton over any single year... But then again, I knew what clintong was going in, Bush had me somewhat fooled. watch him now... over the next few days he will say or do something that will sound really conservative, to try and change perceptions... like a chameleon... We will probably double our bombing runs in southern Iraq... or announce ever larger troop placements overseas.

"A free market environmental watchdog group also assailed the White House and the green movement for seeking to expand the mission of the Faith Based Initiative."

Suddenly, I don't feel so good about our efforts at the Capitol in the winter of 2000 in the biggest demonstration there since the Vietnam War! I'm still glad we helped keep Kazinsky/Gore out of the Whitehouse, but dear Lord! What's up with this garbage?

This is impossible for me to stomach!!! This has GOT TO STOP!!! I will not support this administration in THIS!!!

Where was the Barf Alert?

It seems we need new posting rules here. ;-)

[The Obstinate Insomniac]

To reclaim the conservative mantle will Bush come out against racial preferences in Michigan?

[Robert_Paulson2]

here's hopin'

but I am beginning to wonder...
we just MUST take away all these issues from the dems. er right?

[Sparta]

GET RID OF THIS STUPID FAITH-BASED INITITIVE AND RETURN THE US TO THE CONSTITUTION.

[Sparta]

The Patriot Act, Department of Homeland Security, largest increase in Federal education spending, national testing, Federal airport security, chaos on the borders, gubmint spending increases, coverups of government corruption(Clinton pardons and FBI informant murders), tariffs on steel and timber, McStain-Feingold, etc. ad nauseum.

Which party's administration would do the following? A Republican or a Democratic adminstration.

[Robert_Paulson2]

and now he has... JUST exactly as we discussed.

he is picking battles. choosing to "lose" strategically, but in ways, I am deeply concerned about.

after a day or two of conservative posing... will he weave left... dodge right... be the "boxer" of pennsylvania avenue?

Lots at stake. Fence straddlers often get impaled. Hope he knows what he is doing... nice call on your part... regarding the affirmative action thing. This runs contrary to powell's position on aa doesn't it?

[Robert_Paulson2]

I know S... scary ain't it?

houston we have a problem... or is it dallas, or is it Washington DC?

[Sparta]

The Michigan decision is not even a principled decision. He's only asking the Court to throw out Michigan's problem, but he also wants the Court to keep Affirmative Action on the books.
