I Cant Believe My Eyes!!!

Bush has just decided to fund several faith based organizations. Apparently to "...represent a continued march by the president in the faith-based initiative's effort to spread compassion in our country and make sure that the most effective programs are funded."

I wonder how many religions are being funded. Just one?

This is my shocked face. :mad:

7. I watched the news conference on C-Span

yesterday morning. I found it very disturbing as well, it's been on my mind ever since. The repukes aren't even trying to hide the fact that they want this country run by corporate entities and fundamental religous zealots. It's scaring the hell out of me and it should everybody else.
