Way to go.

Almost everything that happens or doesn't in this town has the city councils fingerprints on it.; February 5, 2009 at 8:07 AM

The United Way, YMCA, Salvation Army, AA and countless other programs have received thousands and thousands if not millions of dollars from both federal and local government. Has the roof caved in? Are there people of differing faiths or athiests dying in the streets due to them being shut out of these services? Well? The silence is deafening. They are not shut out are they?

In fact before modern political correctness many local governments openly and freely supported and benefited from the service of socially conscious clergy of all faiths. This country is supposed to be melting pot of all faiths, races and backgrounds. The real crime here, as it was in Communist Russia and still is in China is that people can no longer share their faith; this leads to ignorance and unfounded hatred. I believe those who are against faith-based programs are inadvertently fostering hostility amongst different faith based groups by focusing on their differences rather than the commonalities such as helping the poor and under privileged. It is a crime that under the proposed complete separation of church/mousqe/synagouge/temple and state that the group of children from my daughter’s school would not be able to support local social service programs because she is being taught morals based on the teachings of Christ. A sad commentary about modern society indeed.; February 5, 2009 at 12:43 PM
